Chapter 401: Chapter 401

Quinn Lockwood felt increasingly moved in her heart. She seemed to be very sorry toward Elias Sinclair, but she really couldn’t reveal the truth.

Events , where a soul transfers and is reborn in someone else’s body, who would believe it? ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by n0velfire.net

Moreover, if Elias knew she had deceived him for so long... he would probably be very angry, and if he kicked her out in a rage... or thought that her soul’s presence caused Savannah Lowell’s departure, would he hate her to the core?

Quinn Lockwood suddenly felt uncertain. She didn’t know if Elias liked Savannah Lowell more, or herself.

"Savannah, what’s wrong?" Xenia Monroe noticed Quinn Lockwood becoming more and more engrossed in her thoughts, and her complexion seemed a bit off. She couldn’t help but start to worry.

Could she have said something wrong?

Quinn Lockwood then realized she was too lost in her thoughts, quickly reined in her emotions, lifted her head, and gave Xenia Monroe a smile.

Forget it, I won’t think about it too much right now. After we’ve dealt with Ariana Lynch and Jonah Hansen’s matters, I’ll find a way to explain things to Elias.

"It’s nothing, just felt the alcohol was a bit strong." Quinn Lockwood swallowed a bit awkwardly, then lowered her eyes to avoid Xenia Monroe’s gaze.

Xenia Monroe looked at the low-alcohol cocktail in front of Quinn Lockwood, her red lips pressing into a conflicting expression.

The alcohol... strong?

Maybe thinking Quinn Lockwood was embarrassed, or perhaps feeling it inappropriate to ask too much about a married couple’s issues, Xenia Monroe didn’t say more and ordered a few more low-alcohol cocktails for Quinn Lockwood.

After the two had a few drinks, once Quinn Lockwood’s mood had lightened somewhat, she returned to the Sinclair Family.

Only to find that Elias Sinclair wasn’t home.

It was already midnight; where had he gone off to?

"Do you know where Mr. Sinclair went?" Quinn Lockwood opened the door and asked the patrolling bodyguards outside if they knew where Elias Sinclair had gone.

The bodyguards told Quinn Lockwood that he left shortly after she did and hasn’t been back since.

Quinn Lockwood recalled how her grandfather had called Elias before she left, thinking there might have been urgent business that needed handling at the company, and didn’t give it more thought.

But the next morning, she still hadn’t seen Elias Sinclair.

"Did Mr. Sinclair come home last night?" Quinn Lockwood sat at the dining table and asked the attendant beside her.

"Yes, ma’am. Mr. Sinclair returned around two in the morning, rested for less than three hours, and then left in a hurry again." The attendant reported respectfully to Quinn Lockwood.

So that’s how it was. It seemed the company indeed had something urgent to resolve.

A gentle light flickered in Quinn Lockwood’s eyes, her expression deepening a little as though worried about Elias Sinclair.

He rested for less than three hours; he must be very tired.

Quinn Lockwood took a few bites of her meal and then rushed to the film production to prepare for the joyous filming startup.

Despite various tedious and bothersome preparations before shooting, such as familiarizing herself with her partner’s character traits and the issues of emotional interaction between them.

Luckily, her co-star was Dylan Quinn, the drama’s second male lead, which saved her a lot of time in getting to know his character and building chemistry.

In the "Illusion" crew, apart from Ariana Lynch and Dylan Quinn, Quinn Lockwood was unfamiliar with almost all of the actors.

Perhaps hoping to leverage Quinn Lockwood, Ariana Lynch, and Dylan Quinn’s fame, the other supporting roles chosen by the crew were mostly newcomers.

Of course, most of these newcomers were artists from The Lockwood Group’s entertainment company.

Dylan Quinn had initially received an offer for a film that would start shooting at the same time, but due to Quinn Lockwood’s involvement, he turned down the film to join the "Illusion" crew instead.

This decision to forgo film shooting to play a second male lead in a fantasy drama nearly drove his agent Jade crazy.

"Come on, everyone, let’s get ready for a group photo." The director gestured for everyone to prepare the opening ceremony banner and invited the actors for a group photo.

"3, 2, 1, wishing the filming success!" With a click of the shutter, the opening ceremony was officially complete.

Now it was time to start the actual filming.

"The Millais Grand Hotel, let’s go celebrate together, the shareholders are treating!" The director clapped his hands and said to everyone.

The actors were thrilled at these words and rushed to the crew’s bus.

Compared to others’ excitement, Quinn Lockwood, Ariana Lynch, and Jonah Hansen seemed indifferent.

"Savannah, come with me in my car, the bus is so uncomfortable." Jonah Hansen walked up to Quinn Lockwood, taking off his jacket and draping it over her shoulders.

Quinn Lockwood hesitated slightly but still raised her hands to pull Jonah Hansen’s jacket tighter over her shoulders, her face grateful and gentle.

"Thank you, Jonah." Quinn Lockwood pursed her lips, her gaze fleetingly drifting towards Ariana Lynch, her lips curling into a faint smile.

Jonah Hansen led Quinn Lockwood outside, as if Ariana Lynch, his rightful fiancée, didn’t even exist.

Since the incident yesterday morning, Ariana Lynch and Jonah Hansen had entered a cold war stage, not speaking a single word to each other.

With Mr. Lockwood also disappointed with Ariana Lynch, Jonah Hansen didn’t care if Mr. Lockwood might pressure him for neglecting her, not even considering comforting Ariana.

Ariana Lynch only set off after everyone else had left.

She had arranged for her driver to buy some "spices" before driving to the hotel herself.

This was the best five-star hotel in the city, situated at the center of Financial Street, typically hosting top business elites.

At the banquet, Jonah Hansen didn’t choose to sit with Quinn Lockwood but rather at a few seats distance, beside her.

"Savannah, try this shrimp ball. I specially had someone air-freight fresh prawns from Cipango’s North Shore; they taste exceptionally fresh and tender."

Jonah was uninterested in mingling with the director and producers, downing drinks quickly and redirecting his focus back to Quinn Lockwood.

Ariana Lynch was nearly fuming.

She hadn’t taken a single bite, sitting there with clenched teeth, watching Quinn Lockwood and Jonah.

Bitch, to dare openly seduce her man at this point.

Fine, you like seducing men, today I’ll let you seduce enough!

Ariana suddenly stood up, her beautiful eyes glimmering enigmatically as she turned to leave the private room, a mysterious smile lifting her lips.
