Chapter 291: Chapter 291

Looking disdainfully at Jonah Hansen lying on the ground, Quinn Lockwood almost couldn’t resist going over to pour the drink herself.

It wasn’t until Jonah Hansen was completely drunk and passed out that Elias Sinclair’s assistant finally ordered the stoppage.

Quinn Lockwood returned home after ten at night, yet even after she went to bed, she didn’t hear Elias Sinclair coming back.

Forget it, forget it; if he isn’t coming back, then he isn’t. Who knows what happened at the company today?

Quinn Lockwood switched positions several times without comfort. Whenever she closed her eyes, Elias Sinclair’s angry face from the banquet would surface.

Feeling annoyed, she buried her head under the covers, counting sheep for a while until she gradually fell asleep.

The next day, as Quinn Lockwood tidied herself up and stepped out the door, she was embraced by Nina Sinclair.

"Nina, do you always wait by the door?" Quinn Lockwood was startled by Nina Sinclair’s sudden appearance from beside her door and asked, a bit shocked.

Nina nodded, lifting the delicate handbag in her hand, and playfully said to Quinn Lockwood, "Little sister-in-law, I finished knitting my scarf and want to give it to Cameron. Will you come with me?"

Seeing Nina’s pleading, flattering face, Quinn Lockwood raised her brows slightly and mischievously wanted to tease the girl.

"Don’t you think this is a good chance for you two to be alone? You should go by yourself." Quinn Lockwood playfully tapped Nina’s forehead and turned to head downstairs.

"Hey, hey, don’t be like that! Little sister-in-law, I... I get so nervous when I see Cameron, and I’m too embarrassed to go alone."

"Please come with me? I’ll treat you to something delicious." Nina Sinclair quickly grabbed Quinn Lockwood’s hand, squatting down like a little child stubbornly seeking pity.

Quinn Lockwood felt a bit embarrassed, not expecting Nina Sinclair to beg her so readily for her clueless-in-love brother.

It’s known that Nina’s arrogant attitude doesn’t fall short of Savannah Lowell’s.

"Oh, I was just teasing you! I’ll go with you, come on, get up." Quinn Lockwood helped Nina Sinclair up, patting her shoulder helplessly.

Meeting Cameron Grant outside the Cloudfall Group building, Quinn Lockwood and Nina Sinclair arrived to find him already waiting across the street.

"Sorry, brother, we kept you waiting." Quinn Lockwood quickly got out of the car, pulling Nina Sinclair over to Cameron Grant.

"No problem, I haven’t been here long myself." Cameron Grant’s clear eyes held strands of a smile, looking gently at Quinn Lockwood.

"Well, Nina has something to give you." Quinn Lockwood grinned, stealthily tugging Nina’s sleeve from behind.

Nina seemed a little nervous, taking a deep breath and glancing sidelong at Quinn Lockwood.

Seeing Quinn’s earnest nod, she summoned the courage to step forward, quietly saying, "Uh, Cameron, I knitted this scarf for you... for you."

Cameron Grant’s gentle, clean face bore no smile at the moment, as he glanced at Quinn Lockwood pretending to look at the sky, his eyes gradually cooling.

"Thank you, but I don’t need this." Cameron Grant’s voice was clear and melodious, like trickling water.

But to Nina Sinclair, these polite words of rejection were like invisible knives, splitting her heart painfully.

"Cameron, I..." Nina’s hand holding the bag trembled slightly, her lip tightly bitten, almost bursting into tears.

"Brother, it’s supposed to be a harsh winter this year; temperatures are reported to be several degrees lower than last year’s. Scarves can be quite useful." Seeing the situation turn sour, Quinn Lockwood quickly spoke up for Nina.

"Besides, Nina picked blue and white yarn, the scarf knitted looks great, even I’m tempted. You love blue the most, don’t you? You’ll definitely like it." Quinn Lockwood gestured a thumbs-up at Cameron Grant, looking expectantly at him.

She just couldn’t believe Cameron wouldn’t accept the gift now. If he still refused, then he was being unbelievable.

"Alright, thank you." Cameron Grant, seeing Quinn Lockwood’s hopeful gaze, couldn’t bear to let her down.

He lifted his hand and hesitated for a moment before still accepting Nina Sinclair’s gift, though his eyes started to darken.

After Cameron Grant left, Nina Sinclair stood dazedly for a long time.

"Hey, in a trance?" Quinn Lockwood waved a hand in front of Nina, smiling mischievously.

"Savannah, Cameron accepted my gift and even thanked me! You heard that, didn’t you!" Nina joyfully shook Savannah’s hand, nearly jumping for joy.

This was Nina’s first time giving Cameron a gift, and it held significant meaning for her.

"I heard it, you’re really easy to satisfy, aren’t you?" Quinn Lockwood raised an eyebrow with a look that said "how can you be so easily content?"

"I believe Cameron will start to change his opinion about me." Nina lowered her eyes, cheeks seemingly shyly blushing.

"Come on, little sister-in-law, I promised to treat you to a meal."

"Like I said, as a thank-you, anything you want to eat, just say it." Nina joyously pulled Quinn’s hand toward the car. For origınal chapters go to NoveI[F]ire.net

Quinn Lockwood wasn’t particularly hungry but didn’t want to spoil Nina’s mood.

After a simple lunch at a Western restaurant, Nina Sinclair pulled Quinn Lockwood along for a shopping spree on the shopping street.

After shopping with Nina, Quinn Lockwood finally understood that the saying "girls spend money whether they’re happy or upset" is very true.

Nina bought a heap of limited edition luxury sets and high-end cosmetics for herself, and anything she thought suited Quinn Lockwood, she had the staff pack it up.

Finally, unable to watch anymore, Quinn switched Nina’s card with her own while Nina handed hers to the cashier.

"Little sister-in-law, are you worried about brother’s money? Not only are you not using the card he gave you, but you won’t let me use mine either." Nina teased, looking at the card in Quinn’s hand unfamiliar to the Sinclair Group.

Hearing this, Quinn Lockwood broke into a sweat.

She was purely trying to get Nina to save some money. Although she and Nina were around the same age, in terms of seniority, she was still her elder; what’s with the elder not being generous?

"Little sister-in-law, you don’t need to save money for brother; it’s not like you don’t know how much he has." Nina thought Quinn was shy to answer, thinking she guessed right.
