Chapter 258: Chapter 258
"Do you have a fever?" Elias Sinclair looked at her flushed cheeks and quickly raised his large hand. As soon as he touched the woman’s forehead, he felt her body freeze.
"You... I’m fine. You should change your clothes quickly. I’ll... I’ll take a shower first. Just leave the clothes outside the bathroom door." Quinn Lockwood’s eyes seemed evasive. She just wanted Elias Sinclair to leave quickly. If he figured out what she was thinking, it would be... too embarrassing!
The man’s eyes were deep. He stared at Quinn Lockwood for two seconds before letting out a soft "hmm" and then walked out.
Quinn Lockwood exhaled forcefully, instantly feeling much more relaxed.
She clutched the man’s soaked coat, and thinking of the dignified and proud man in his drenched state made her heart tighten.
She wasn’t quite sure now what kind of person Elias Sinclair was in her heart.
High and mighty, yet he’s gentle and cautious. He’s also cold and merciless...
However, she didn’t know when it started, but she no longer found him terrifying and didn’t want to distance herself from him anymore.
She wanted... wanted...
Shaking her head vigorously, Quinn Lockwood patted her forehead and then began to take off her soaking wet dress.
As she pulled down the zipper on the side of her dress, Quinn Lockwood shivered. She had just pushed the dress halfway down when she heard the sound of hurried footsteps.
Quickly pulling the dress back up over her body, Quinn Lockwood couldn’t help but shrink a little.
Did Elias Sinclair fly over here? How did he return so fast?
The door to the lounge suddenly swung open, followed by an anxious and clear voice: "Savannah, are you okay?"
Hearing the voice, which wasn’t Elias Sinclair’s but was incredibly familiar,
Quinn Lockwood immediately turned around. She saw a fair and handsome man looking at her anxiously.
"Cameron?" Quinn Lockwood was slightly startled, then quickly tugged at her clothing, her vast, flawless shoulders and neck exposed because she didn’t have time to cover up.
"Sorry, I didn’t know you were in here..." Cameron Grant’s gaze fell on Quinn Lockwood’s shoulder. His fair and handsome face instantly flushed red, and he quickly turned his eyes away.
Her slender fingers gently grasped her shoulder, and Quinn Lockwood swallowed nervously, opening her mouth for a moment before uttering only two words: "It’s... fine."
"What’s going on?" At this moment, a cool voice came from the doorway, followed by the sight of a stern, tight-browed face.
"What are you doing here?" Elias Sinclair glared at Cameron Grant, then glanced at Quinn Lockwood, who was clutching her shoulder. The hand holding the dress bag unconsciously tightened.
"My brother was worried about me, so he came to check." Quinn Lockwood, not wanting Cameron Grant to feel awkward, quickly explained for him.
It would’ve been better if she stayed silent, because once she spoke, the man’s face turned even darker. Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by novel·fıre·net
He forcefully placed the bag on the table beside him and said with a slight annoyance, "Get changed."
"By the way, give me the backup suit from your car," Elias’s eyes were dark and deep as he glanced at Cameron Grant. He pursed his thin lips slightly, then abruptly pulled Cameron Grant toward the door.
With a bang, the door closed, startling Quinn Lockwood.
Is he... angry again?
Confused, Quinn Lockwood tilted her head slightly, unable to hold back a sneeze.
Meanwhile, Elias Sinclair and Cameron Grant arrived at the men’s lounge in Sector B.
"Elias, what just happened? Why do both of you look like that?" Handing his backup suit to Elias Sinclair, Cameron Grant asked worriedly.
"Savannah fell into the water. I don’t know if someone did it on purpose," Elias Sinclair replied, opening Cameron Grant’s light gray suit.
As he changed his suit, Elias Sinclair realized he was missing a tie.
"I didn’t prepare a spare tie. If you don’t mind, you can use mine first. I’ll get one from the vice president’s car," Cameron Grant said, pointing to his tie when he noticed Elias Sinclair paused at the collar.
Elias Sinclair’s brows furrowed almost imperceptibly, then he nodded slightly.
Cameron Grant smiled lightly, then took off his tie and handed it to Elias Sinclair.
When Cameron Grant went downstairs to get a tie, he saw someone in a dark blue suit heading toward Quinn Lockwood’s lounge. However, the person only lingered at the door for a moment before turning away in a different direction.
Cameron Grant’s composed face instantly turned serious, and he quietly followed.
Seeing the man’s figure and profile, they seemed very familiar.
A picture of someone flashed through his mind, and Cameron Grant was glad he followed because it was Jonah Hansen, who was rumored to be romantically involved with Quinn Lockwood.
"Charlie, did you prepare what I asked you to? Today is a great opportunity. With so many elite families at the banquet, no matter what, she, Savannah Lowell, won’t be able to refuse me."
"Besides, I can tell she definitely likes me."
In the stairwell at the end of the corridor, Jonah Hansen was on the phone with his assistant, his usually clear voice now sounding sinister and sleazy.
"Disgusting." Hearing Jonah Hansen’s words, Cameron Grant’s eyes narrowed sharply, instinctively clenching his fist.
Cameron Grant had wanted to rush in and give Jonah Hansen a good beating, but he thought that simply punishing him might be too easy for him. If Jonah Hansen held a grudge and retaliated against Quinn Lockwood and if he couldn’t reach her in time, the consequences would be unimaginable.
A sharp look flashed in Cameron Grant’s eyes, and he immediately walked back to the room while calling Quinn Lockwood.
Upon hearing Cameron Grant’s account, Quinn Lockwood’s petite, fair face turned cold, her clear eyes narrowing slightly, shooting a cunning gleam.
Her red lips parted, and she slowly said over the phone, "Since he’s so unsatisfied, let’s fulfill his wishes."
"There are more women in this lounge than just me who can satisfy him."
"He’s made his preparations, so there must be someone among them who will be unable to resist." With a crisp snap of her fingers, Quinn Lockwood’s lips curled into a meaningful smile.
Cameron Grant was slightly taken aback, recalling that he had seen Ariana Lynch’s assistant when he arrived. He instantly understood her meaning.
Lowering his eyes to smile, Cameron Grant thought Quinn Lockwood’s plan was excellent.
Since Jonah Hansen and Lockwood Group’s Ariana Lynch were already in a relationship, it wouldn’t be inappropriate for him to help his sister bring them together.
It’s just a pity that Ariana Lynch can’t seem to see people clearly and actually fell for such a beast.
