Chapter 398: Chapter 398

Jonah Hansen gently furrowed his brow from a position where Quinn Lockwood couldn’t see his expression. Still maintaining a casual and comfortable smile, he nodded slightly.

"Alright, since that’s the case, how about we meet another day?" Jonah slowly increased the pressure on the accelerator, feeling an overwhelming sense of irritability about the disruption of his plans.

Forget it, if she’s not going, she’s not going. We’re almost at The Sinclair Residence. If Mr. Sinclair finds out I’m taking his woman out this late, there will be trouble.

Although Jonah always wanted to win over Quinn Lockwood, he was still intimidated by Elias Sinclair’s authority.

Even if he wanted to possess her, it would have to be an opportunity given by Quinn Lockwood herself, or for her to seduce him actively.

Meanwhile, our Boss Sinclair was sitting in the hall of The Sinclair Residence with a dark face, exuding an aura of coldness that kept anything from daring to approach within a few meters of him.

This time, Nina Sinclair didn’t lie on the living room sofa reading magazines as usual but hurriedly ran back upstairs the moment her brother entered the house.

From her position on the third floor of the villa, she could feel the bone-chilling coldness.

The man glanced up at the clock on the wall, his brows already covered in frost.

He had long known that Quinn Lockwood went to the Lockwood Group today and met with Jonah Hansen, the person newly in charge of a script.

Initially, Elias Sinclair felt uncomfortable that Quinn Lockwood refused the script he customized for her and gave up numerous great opportunities to take on a supporting role in a Lockwood Group project.

After finding out where Quinn was and some things that happened between her and Jonah Hansen today, his face had been so dark since the afternoon that it could almost drip ink.

Kevin and all the managers who reported their work to Elias Sinclair today were severely reprimanded for various negligence.

After the second hand of the clock completed two rotations, the man suddenly stood up, his cold expression unchanged as he moved his long legs toward the door.

At that moment, Jonah Hansen parked the car not far from the entrance of The Sinclair Residence. Perhaps unwilling to part from Quinn Lockwood, Jonah walked beside her, continuously speaking gentle and caring words to ease her mood.

Unexpectedly, this very scene was witnessed by Elias Sinclair from the yard.

The man’s gaze fixed on the two people outside the gate, his eyes dark and deep as night, even more profound than the darkness.

A layer of frost had already formed on his face. He stood there watching the two for a while, then adjusted his coat sleeves before turning back into the house.

"Thank you for bringing me back. I’ll head in now. See you another day." Quinn Lockwood’s face carried a gentle smile, her lips curved softly, and her eyes glistened with a captivating light, so much so that Jonah Hansen was almost eager to carry her away.

"Don’t be so polite. Get some rest and don’t dwell on those unpleasant things." Jonah was reluctant to leave, but since they were already at the Sinclair’s door, lingering for too long could accidentally alert Mr. Sinclair...

Jonah lightly pressed his lips together, suppressing the stirring in his heart.

After waving goodbye to Jonah, Quinn Lockwood turned and quickly entered the yard, and the security guard at the entrance promptly closed the gate.

In the instant she turned around, Quinn Lockwood’s expression suddenly turned cold, her brows knit tightly together.

She kept thinking about Mr. Lockwood’s matters.

If Ariana Lynch continues to make a scene without measure, Mr. Lockwood will be angered into illness one day. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ noᴠelfire.net

If Mr. Lockwood were to have a heart attack and Ariana Lynch had some malicious intent...

The consequences would be unimaginable.

With this thought, Quinn Lockwood felt her whole body grow cold, her blood seemingly frozen, her face as pale as a ghost.

No, she couldn’t let that happen. She hadn’t reunited with her father yet, hadn’t told him about her mother’s years of love and longing for him, hadn’t had the chance to call him "Dad"...

Quinn Lockwood nervously wrung her hands in front of her chest, trembling slightly.

Her steps toward the main house were especially quick, like the hurried pace when she left the Lockwood Group today.

Because her mind was preoccupied, Quinn Lockwood didn’t perceive the road to the main house as particularly long or distant, unlike other times.

She furrowed her brow as she opened the door, only to be pulled inside before taking a step forward.

"Mmm." Quinn Lockwood was startled by the sudden and domineering kiss from Elias Sinclair, immediately raising her hand in a stiff attempt to resist, pushing hard against his shoulders.

Due to the vast difference in strength between them, Quinn Lockwood couldn’t move Elias Sinclair. In her panic, she had to resort to hitting, not caring whether it would hurt him.

She only wanted to return to her room quickly for some peace and quiet.

Elias Sinclair, struck on the back by Quinn Lockwood, though not feeling much pain, felt a deep-seated anger rising.

He was aware of Quinn Lockwood’s repeated visits to see Jonah Hansen.

Whether intentional or by chance, she seemed to have some motive.

Those so-called chance meetings and acquaintances, according to Elias Sinclair’s analysis and judgment, were all carefully orchestrated by Quinn Lockwood as a facade.

Even the photos of them together at the hotel entrance were taken by someone Quinn had hired to post online.

Elias Sinclair found himself increasingly unable to understand Quinn Lockwood’s thoughts.

And just now, Elias Sinclair had seen Jonah Hansen personally bring her back!

Seeing her so resistant to him now, he became even more convinced that her decision to star in the Lockwood Group’s project was to see Jonah Hansen.

According to Elias Sinclair’s sources, Jonah Hansen was once just an unremarkable manager at a small company, and rose to become the general manager of the Lockwood Group through his connection with Ariana Lynch.

Judging by the projects and performances since he took office, he showed some genuine talent, yet there were no significant achievements or exploits.

Elias Sinclair couldn’t fathom why Quinn Lockwood would go to such lengths to approach someone as ’ordinary’ as Jonah Hansen.
