Chapter 297: Chapter 297

Just as she was about to start the car, Quinn Lockwood lowered her eyes in deep thought for a moment, then took out her phone and sent a text message.

The recipient was Dylan Quinn.

When she arrived at the café where Xenia Monroe was, Quinn Lockwood indeed saw a tall, somewhat handsome man pulling Xenia Monroe’s hand.

Quinn Lockwood quickly walked over, grabbed Sierra’s hand back, and looked at him sharply, saying, "You must be Leo Hansen. Sierra has already broken up with you, please don’t bother her anymore."

"Who are you? Mind your own business." Leo Hansen scoffed, took a sip of coffee, and glanced at Quinn Lockwood.

"Oh, isn’t this the flamboyant mistress, Miss Savannah Lowell? How come you can’t handle all those men and still have time to meddle in others’ affairs?"

Hearing these vile words from Leo Hansen, Quinn Lockwood was astonished. She simply couldn’t believe that this man was a top student studying abroad in Veldona.

As for what Sierra said about his talent and gentleness?

Give me a break, this is clearly another wolf in sheep’s clothing!

"Sierra and I truly love each other. I have already prepared the ring and wedding dress, just waiting for her to marry me. I advise you not to ruin such a relationship." Leo Hansen looked at Quinn Lockwood with disdain, then pushed her away and pulled Xenia Monroe over.

At this moment, Quinn Lockwood felt someone gently support her from behind, and then she saw a tall, handsome figure step forward and pull Xenia Monroe back.

"Sir, grabbing someone else’s girlfriend in broad daylight isn’t very good, is it?" Dylan Quinn’s face was no longer as gentle as usual, now looking stern at Leo Hansen, arms tightly wrapped around Xenia Monroe, as if declaring his sovereignty.

"What are you doing?" Leo Hansen’s face changed as he saw Dylan holding Xenia Monroe, and he raised his hand to grab Dylan.

Dylan, being somewhat an expert himself, wasn’t so easily caught by Leo. He dodged to the side and said dominantly, "Xenia Monroe is my girlfriend. You’d better stop pestering her."

"Get lost!" Leo Hansen picked up the coffee cup on the table and threw it at Dylan, then kicked the table over.

Dylan quickly pushed Xenia Monroe aside. Quinn Lockwood tried to pull Xenia Monroe away, only to be hit in the stomach by the falling table, turning her face pale with pain.

"Leo Hansen, stop it! I called the police!" Xenia Monroe shouted anxiously, disregarding her image, as Dylan was punched in the arm by Leo.

Quinn Lockwood squatted on the ground, holding her abdomen, and took a deep breath to suppress the pain before reaching for her phone in her bag to call the police.

The café patrons had all fled, even the owner was nowhere to be seen. Although Dylan was agile, Leo was very tall and built like a foreigner. If the fight continued, Dylan would definitely suffer.

"Stop! I’ve already called the police; they’ll be here soon." A clear and authoritative male voice came from behind.

Cameron Grant walked in briskly with a serious face. Although he seemed gentle and refined, his cold and noble demeanor was enough to intimidate everyone present.

Upon sensing Cameron Grant’s presence, Leo Hansen immediately stopped his actions.

Not wanting to take advantage of the situation, Dylan simply pushed Leo away and turned to check if Xenia Monroe was hurt.

"You’ll all pay for this." With a vicious glare at Cameron Grant and Dylan, Leo Hansen ran out with a gloomy expression.

"Brother, why are you here?" Quinn Lockwood, supported by Cameron Grant, looked at him in surprise.

"I was having lunch across the street, and when I looked out the window, I saw someone who looked like you, so I came over to check." Cameron Grant’s brow furrowed slightly as he looked at Quinn Lockwood, his gaze falling on her hands over her stomach with deep concern.

"What happened to your stomach, are you hurt?"

Afraid of worrying Cameron Grant, Quinn Lockwood quickly moved her hand from her stomach, shaking her head lightly with a relaxed expression, "No, no, just got a bump. It doesn’t feel like anything now."

Even though Quinn Lockwood appeared unfazed, Cameron Grant was still very concerned and insisted on taking her to the hospital for a check-up.

With the support of Dylan and Xenia Monroe, Quinn Lockwood reluctantly went to get examined by Cameron Grant, not forgetting to leave a bank card with Xenia Monroe to cover the café’s damages before leaving.

The café owner appeared not long after Quinn Lockwood left, bringing several assistants.

Seeing only Dylan and Xenia Monroe in the café, the owner seemed somewhat at a loss.

"I’m sorry, owner, I’ll cover the damages this time." Xenia Monroe pouted apologetically at the owner.

"Here’s my card and contact information. You can contact me about the compensation anytime after you’ve calculated the amount." Dylan stood in front of Xenia, handing his card to the owner.

This café, a high-end establishment, often hosted celebrities and influential people for casual gatherings.

The owner naturally knew Dylan’s status and understood the need for discretion in this matter.

After reaching an agreement, Dylan took Xenia Monroe home.

"Miss Monroe, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to take advantage of you; I just didn’t want him to keep bothering you." Dylan stood just a fist’s width away from Xenia.

His eyes were clear, casting a soft shadow under the streetlight as his eyelashes flickered.

Looking up at him, Xenia Monroe noticed a new bruise on his face. The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the novel(ꜰ)ire.net

Every time they met, it seemed this young man was injured because of her.

He was clearly someone special, a superstar who shouldn’t have a mark on his face, cherished by millions of fans.

Yet, he was willing to put himself in harm’s way for her, regardless of the risk.

"Miss Monroe, are you angry? I’m sorry, I..." Dylan, seeing Xenia Monroe silent, grew nervous, thinking his earlier actions were too bold and left a bad impression on her.

"No, don’t overthink." Xenia Monroe walked ahead of Dylan with her hands behind her back, glancing at him from the corner of her eye, a smile naturally forming on her lips.

"Well, thank you for saving me and walking me home. My house is just around the corner; no need to walk me any further. See you!" Xenia Monroe turned around, walking backward a few steps, waved at Dylan, and then ran off.

Dylan kept watching Xenia Monroe until she disappeared around the corner, recalling her drunken confession of liking his songs and the small, soft feel of her in his arms. His lips curved slightly into a pleasing arc.

Xenia Monroe leaned against the wall at the corner, and after a while, poked her head out. Seeing Dylan’s handsome figure, her cheeks flushed slightly.

At the hospital, after routine checkups, Cameron Grant took Quinn Lockwood back to The Sinclair Residence upon confirming she was okay.

After dinner and some script reading, it was already past ten when Quinn Lockwood finished organizing everything.

Planning to play on her phone for a bit to induce sleepiness, it wasn’t long before she received a WeChat message from Xenia Monroe.
