Chapter 341: Chapter 341

"Connor Shaw, is that you?" Quinn Lockwood blinked, clearly a bit excited.

Connor Shaw was taken aback; he had indeed heard of Quinn Lockwood.

A young, popular actress, the eldest daughter of the Lowell Family, and the wife of the Sinclair Group’s chairman.

"Hello, Mrs. Sinclair, I’m Connor Shaw." Although Connor Shaw was surprised that Savannah Lowell knew him and even initiated a greeting, he maintained a gentle and polite smile.

Hearing how Connor Shaw addressed her, Quinn Lockwood’s face darkened slightly, and she awkwardly tugged at the corners of her mouth: "Ah... well, what brings you here?"

"I have a project to discuss with Mr. Sinclair, but unfortunately, he’s not in." Connor Shaw’s eyes were clear and bright, his lips the perfect shade of cherry blossom, and even without a smile, he seemed to exude a gentle smile.

Quinn Lockwood scratched her head, nodding blankly and smiling a bit foolishly.

"Savannah?" At this moment, Elias Sinclair’s deep and cool voice came from not far away, carrying a hint of surprise.

"What are you doing here?" The man strode over to Quinn Lockwood, his eyes flashing with a peculiar expression as he saw how familiar she seemed with Connor Shaw. Thıs text ıs hosted at noᴠelfire.net

Quinn Lockwood hadn’t expected to see Elias Sinclair outside the company, and she was startled.

"Didn’t you just message me saying you were busy? I’m quite annoyed, wondering what could be so important that you’ve stood me up." Quinn Lockwood turned with her arms akimbo, pretending to be angry as she looked at Elias Sinclair.

After nodding to acknowledge each other, Connor Shaw gave Quinn Lockwood a slight nod as a sign of his departure.

Quinn Lockwood smiled apologetically at him, feeling somewhat reluctant inside.

He was the first friend she’d met since her rebirth, and she felt an incredible warmth from him. They hadn’t even really started chatting yet. She also remembered that Connor Shaw was a genuinely good person.

She badly wanted to ask Connor Shaw how their former classmates were doing now and if they missed her.

While Quinn Lockwood was lost in thought, the man suddenly placed his hand on her shoulder, his eyes dark as ink.

"I didn’t message you saying I wouldn’t be coming; I just got into the car, realized I forgot my phone, went back to get it, and that’s when I saw you."

Elias Sinclair looked down at Quinn Lockwood, and before she could say more, he continued: "Do you know Connor Shaw?"

"Ah?" Quinn Lockwood was taken aback by the question from Elias Sinclair; her eyes flickered slightly, and she quickly thought of an excuse to cover it up.

"I’ve heard he’s the CFO of a state-owned enterprise, right? Did he come here to discuss business with you?" Quinn Lockwood rarely smiled at Elias Sinclair, and it was a very sweet smile.

The man listened to Quinn Lockwood’s words, his eyes gradually darkening, carrying a hint of anger: "Hmm, you certainly know quite a bit."

"Interested in his affairs?" Elias Sinclair raised an eyebrow, his long, narrow eyes narrowing slightly.

If that was truly the case, he would have to reconsider the collaboration with the other company.

He absolutely would not allow his woman to be interested in any other man, not even a little bit.

"No, no, I just casually asked to understand what projects you’re currently working on."

"Let’s not talk about him. Don’t you have important things to do? Go on then." Quinn Lockwood patted Elias Sinclair’s hand off her shoulder, flashing a bright smile.

"I don’t have anything to do." The man saw that Quinn Lockwood was trying to send him away and his face immediately became somber.

Quinn Lockwood furrowed her brows, pulling out a text message on her phone and putting it in front of Elias Sinclair: "You said it yourself in the text. Look!"

Elias Sinclair glanced at the message, and his expression abruptly turned stone-cold, his eyes glinting chillingly.

The man took the phone, lowered his eyes to look again, and said in a low, cold voice: "I didn’t send this; my phone is still in the office."

"So..." Quinn Lockwood immediately perked up, growing serious in an instant.

Elias Sinclair’s brows furrowed tightly as his eyes met Quinn Lockwood’s. His gaze was so deep it was impossible to see the bottom.

"I’ll go back and check to see who dared to do such a thing."

Quinn Lockwood nodded, walking alongside Elias Sinclair into the company, her mind becoming anxious.

What exactly was the person who texted her trying to do? Could it be that she knew about seeing Ariana Lynch and wanted to interfere?

So, was this person trying to help her or stop her?

Quinn Lockwood grew increasingly puzzled.

This person must be someone high up in the Sinclair Group.

After all, they could get into the chairman’s office and have the audacity to use Elias Sinclair’s phone to text her.

A name suddenly flashed in her mind, and Quinn Lockwood felt she was a strong possibility, but she couldn’t be a hundred percent sure.

While Quinn Lockwood was immersed in her thoughts, her phone in her pocket suddenly rang.

"Wade Lynch, did you get news so quickly?" Quinn Lockwood snapped out of her thoughts, her expression remaining quite serious.

"I’m the little informant of the entertainment industry; nothing escapes me."

"Right after you told me about Ariana Lynch, I went out to watch him, and sure enough, I caught him!" Wade Lynch was at that moment wearing sunglasses, hiding in a corner, peering forward while giving Quinn Lockwood a call.

Upon hearing Wade Lynch say he’d gotten information, Quinn Lockwood’s eyes instantly brightened several degrees, and she felt a sense of urgency: "Stop beating around the bush and just say it."

Wade Lynch leaned against the wall, sporting a mischievous smile.

"Sure, no more beating around the bush, but you owe me an interview this time. I want to publish a video interview."

"Fine, fine, I promise. Just tell me quickly!" Seeing Wade Lynch taking advantage of the situation, Quinn Lockwood’s face turned entirely dark, but since she was so eager to know what was going on with Ariana Lynch, she had no choice but to agree quickly.

Wade Lynch, seeing his strategy succeed, grinned broadly, showing his white teeth before clearing his throat to finally tell Quinn Lockwood what he had seen.

"You were right; Ariana Lynch is indeed involved with a man ambiguously."

"This man’s name is Julian Northwood, the heir to the Longstride Group, which has rapidly expanded in recent years."

"But, unlike other heirs, Julian Northwood is a total playboy, with almost no commendable achievements."

Wade Lynch peeked out slightly, seeing Julian Northwood with his hand roaming around Ariana Lynch’s waist, and couldn’t help but sneer a little.

"By the way, I have to say, this Julian Northwood is really known for his lechery. It’s said that he was quite promiscuous in college, changing girlfriends as often as changing clothes."

"I guess his involvement with Ariana Lynch, who’s about to get married, is just for the thrill of it!" Wade Lynch clicked his tongue, feeling a bit sorry for Ariana Lynch.
