Chapter 311: Chapter 311

"Elias Sinclair, did we... you know?" Quinn Lockwood bit her lip, her voice quivering slightly.

Elias Sinclair tossed the towel aside and put on a neatly ironed black shirt, casting only a brief, indifferent glance at Quinn without saying a word.

The man’s deep-set eyes flashed with a hint of an unusual color. He adjusted his shirt collar and then leisurely walked out.

Quinn Lockwood’s mind exploded with a buzz, her heart a tangle of complex, indescribable emotions in that flash of lightning.

She actually... with Elias Sinclair!

Doesn’t this mean they now have a marital fact!

Quinn Lockwood was completely frozen; she couldn’t quite grasp her feelings, just that they were very complex, very complex.

It took several minutes for Quinn Lockwood’s mood to regain some semblance of calm.

She opened the blanket, intending to get out of bed, only to discover her clothes were still perfectly intact on her body.

Not a single piece was missing.

The same outfit she wore when she went out yesterday, perfectly intact from inside to outside.

Damn it, that bastard of a man actually tricked her again!

Despite her expression being filled with fierce anger, Quinn Lockwood let out a deep breath of relief inside.

Thank goodness, otherwise, she really wouldn’t know what to do.

"Xenia Monroe, that deadbeat girl!" Quinn Lockwood suddenly recalled the scene last night of her drinking at Xenia Monroe’s house.

Right, wasn’t she at Xenia Monroe’s house last night, so how did she wake up in Elias Sinclair’s bed this morning?

Xenia Monroe must have sold her out!

With resentment, Quinn Lockwood let out a couple of breaths and took out her phone to dial Xenia Monroe’s number.

"Hey, deadbeat girl, what happened last night?" Quinn Lockwood clenched her fist, making a gesture as if she were about to hit Xenia Monroe.

"Huh? What are you talking about?" The voice on the other end was sleepy and lazy; Xenia Monroe clearly hadn’t gotten up yet.

"Don’t play dumb with me."

"You really let me down, we promised to party all night, how could you let Elias Sinclair take me back?" Quinn Lockwood bit her lip, looking very disappointed with Xenia Monroe.

There was no response from the other end for a while, making Quinn Lockwood think Xenia Monroe realized her mistake.

Just as she was about to open her mouth to scold Xenia Monroe further, she heard a sharp, piercing scream: "Ahhhh, Savannah, you’re such a terminal case of straight-girl cancer."

"You should just submit to Elias Sinclair, he’s so handsome, domineering, and boyfriend material."

"If he weren’t your man, I’d be tempted to chase him myself."

"Hey, did you know? Last night, when he gently caressed your cheek with such tenderness and love, and when he carried you princess-style, it was so boyfriend-like, I loved it!"

Xenia Monroe thought of the events of last night, almost jumping out of bed in excitement.

She was sure Elias Sinclair must be fond of Quinn Lockwood.

"Stop talking nonsense." Quinn Lockwood mumbled softly, quickly hanging up the phone.

Listening to Xenia Monroe’s tone, it seemed like Elias Sinclair had come to get her himself from Xenia Monroe’s house last night? ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ NovelHub(.)net

The gentle caress and domineering princess carry...

Thinking of this, Quinn Lockwood’s face turned bright red.

Looking at her socks and shoes on the floor, Quinn Lockwood’s heart felt like it was melting in an instant.

Returning to her room with a flushed face to freshen up, Quinn Lockwood found even her makeup was removed.

Dazedly staring at herself in the mirror, Quinn Lockwood felt as if she was basking in the sunlight of a blossoming summer.

Warmth, emotion, and a bit of sourness intertwined, forming a tight web wrapping around Quinn Lockwood.

After finishing her makeup, Quinn Lockwood went downstairs to have breakfast with Nina Sinclair.

"Sis-in-law, are you okay?" Nina Sinclair looked Quinn Lockwood up and down, asking worriedly.

Quinn Lockwood paused, not quite understanding what Nina Sinclair meant.

"Oh, didn’t my brother give you a hard time? Last night, when he found out you weren’t coming home, his face was so dark." Nina Sinclair smacked her lips, then mimicked Elias Sinclair’s stern face for Quinn Lockwood to see.

"No, he wouldn’t dare." Quinn Lockwood was somewhat helpless. Right now, she didn’t want to think about Elias Sinclair at all.

She really didn’t know what kind of relationship she and he had at this moment, nor did she know how to face him calmly.

Maybe it’s only her who’s so tangled and troubled?

For Elias Sinclair, it’s probably just about teasing her for fun.

Just as Quinn Lockwood was lost in thought, the phone rang.

"Savannah, great news, the company has arranged a fantastic gig for you!" Anna was very excited at this moment, holding Quinn Lockwood’s new contract, her eyes sparkling.

"What gig?" Quinn Lockwood lowered her head; right now, no matter how good the gig, she couldn’t muster any interest.

Anna cleared her throat and said clearly word by word: "It’s the endorsement for The Sinclair Group’s new diamond ring, with a seven-figure endorsement fee!"

"I refuse." Quinn Lockwood’s face turned cold all of a sudden, rejecting coldly.

She really couldn’t stand it; why did everyone have to bring up Elias Sinclair?

She just wanted some peace and quiet now, to calm her emotions.

Anna’s voice suddenly exploded from the phone, although her tone remained gently persuasive: "Savannah, let’s not talk about the payment, with the current buzz around you and Mr. Sinclair, you could easily boost the sales of this diamond ring."

"The TV show’s popularity hasn’t faded yet; we need to keep pushing to capture the audience’s attention."

"Besides, if The Sinclair Group’s product sells well, isn’t that good for you? It will benefit the partnership between the Lowell Family and the Sinclair Family."

Anna almost analyzed every aspect of the endorsement’s value and necessity in detail.

She really couldn’t understand why this young lady would refuse; is she afraid of rumors spreading online?

That shouldn’t be it; didn’t this young lady always like Mr. Sinclair before?

And based on their every interaction, Mr. Sinclair didn’t seem as averse to Savannah as rumors suggested; on the contrary, it seemed he... was somewhat protective.

Thinking of this, Anna’s eyes widened suddenly.

So Mr. Sinclair’s previous distance from Quinn Lockwood was to protect her better!

Nodding secretly to herself, Anna decided she must ensure Quinn Lockwood interacts with Mr. Sinclair more. If he knew it was his assistant, surely he wouldn’t treat her poorly.

"I said no." Quinn Lockwood’s face turned cold, and she was starting to feel a bit impatient.

"Savannah, let’s..." Anna tried to continue persuading, but before she finished, Quinn Lockwood’s displeased tone interrupted her.
