Chapter 76: Chapter 76

But he finally got this great chance to tease someone, Cameron Grant couldn’t just let him leave like that.

Thinking it over, Cameron Grant sneaked a laugh, full of amusement, and approached Elias Sinclair teasingly, "You wouldn’t happen to have a crush on Savannah Lowell, would you?"

A gossipy face gradually enlarged in front of him, Elias Sinclair simply pushed Cameron Grant away, frowning, "What are you thinking."

After speaking, Elias Sinclair turned his gaze elsewhere.

Seeing this, Cameron Grant nodded with interest, "I bet I’ve hit the nail on the head."

If it were before, Elias Sinclair wouldn’t even bother with such a dull topic, but today he actually responded, as if deliberately hiding something.

"Boring." Elias Sinclair smirked slightly and left The Sinclair Family straight away without looking back.

Cameron Grant watched Elias Sinclair’s back and raised his eyebrows. Why did it feel like he was fleeing in panic?

After leaving The Lowell Family, Elias Sinclair sat in the car but delayed starting the vehicle.

Just now, Cameron Grant’s words made him somewhat absent-minded, as if his views on Quinn Lockwood had indeed changed recently. But was it really that obvious?

But he swore, it wasn’t love. How could he possibly like that woman...

Elias Sinclair gazed through the car window at the window of Quinn Lockwood’s room, pressing his lips tightly.

A phone ringing disrupted Elias Sinclair’s thoughts, he answered the call displeased, only to be informed by the company’s board to immediately return for an emergency meeting.

He shook off his thoughts, furrowed his brow, started the car, and hurried back to the company.

After Elias Sinclair left, Cameron Grant turned into Quinn Lockwood’s room. Seeing her pale face upon returning, he wondered how she was now.

"Savannah, feeling better?" Cameron Grant glanced at the empty bowl on the bedside cabinet, feeling quite relieved.

Earlier, he instructed the kitchen to make a bowl of ginger soup for Quinn Lockwood; she had just been caught in the rain, her ankle was injured, and she couldn’t afford to catch a cold, or the wound would get infected.

"Much better, you don’t have to worry, bro."

Quinn Lockwood tugged at the corners of her mouth. Though her ankle no longer hurt, having been drenched left her feeling weary. She said it just to prevent Cameron Grant from worrying.

"That’s good. Though I didn’t expect Elias to personally bring you back."

Cameron Grant nodded, purposely mentioning Elias Sinclair in front of Quinn Lockwood, and pretended to steal glances at her reaction.

Elias Sinclair’s earlier attitude toward Quinn Lockwood made him suspicious.

But Elias Sinclair kept his lips sealed, naturally not revealing anything, so Cameron Grant had to probe here with Quinn.

Hearing Cameron Grant’s question, Quinn Lockwood slightly furrowed her eyebrows, knowing he might have misunderstood.

"A mere gesture of help. I already thanked him."

Quinn Lockwood said nonchalantly, not seeming to care much, as if he were just a stranger.

Upon hearing this, Cameron Grant was a bit surprised. Rarely being held in Elias Sinclair’s arms, she wasn’t excited at all?

But seeing Quinn Lockwood’s calm expression, Cameron Grant instantly understood. She might truly have no feelings for Elias Sinclair anymore.

Mentioning Elias Sinclair, images of him caring for her in the rain and applying medicine in the car involuntarily flashed in Quinn Lockwood’s mind, causing her head to throb painfully, so she rolled over and lay down.

Seeing this, Cameron Grant also understood her sentiments, and instead of mentioning Elias Sinclair again, tucked her in for a good rest and left the room.

After resting at home for two days, Quinn Lockwood’s ankle was almost fine, so she hurried back to the film set.

If she delayed filming any longer, people might start saying she’s acting like a diva again. She couldn’t let her hard-earned persona ruin just like that.

Arriving at the set, Quinn Lockwood barely changed into her costume before she was surrounded by people doing her makeup and arranging her headpiece. Every aspect was meticulously done, showing that today’s scene was significant.

Taking advantage of the time, Quinn Lockwood happened to read through the script and discovered today involved a dance sequence.

Although Savannah Lowell wasn’t very good at dancing previously, fortunately Quinn Lockwood had taken some posture classes for health in her previous life, along with the dance moves taught by the on-site dance instructor, she adapted quickly.

The scene being shot is a banquet, where attendees are seated opposite each other, and Quinn Lockwood stood at the center of the setting hall, directly facing the high and mighty ruler.

The surrounding environment gradually dimmed, light beamed down onto Quinn Lockwood’s head, as she poised herself, waiting to begin.

"Alright, set ready, music play, start!"

As the director shouted start, the music instructor also played the music, and Quinn Lockwood began dancing gracefully.

It was a classic ethereal dance, Quinn Lockwood changed into an ancient costume, a turquoise smoke blouse complemented by a pale blue pleated skirt with scattered floral patterns, and a jade phoenix hairpin slanted low between her bun, highlighting her graceful, unparalleled beauty.

Moreover, her skin was like clotted cream, combined with the role’s inherent passionate gaze, she exuded seduction, enchanting souls — truly a dance that invokes wonder.

Elias Sinclair happened to visit the film set to check the shooting progress and inadvertently witnessed Quinn Lockwood’s performance, raising his brows, stunned by her beauty.

Film set crew had a routine of shooting and posting daily footage of Quinn Lockwood as a promotional tactic.

Blocking Elias Sinclair’s path, he momentarily rested his gaze on Quinn Lockwood’s captivating image.

Unexpectedly, someone on the side reading lines, Ariana Lynch, witnessed this scene. Her expression darkened, hands holding the script unknowingly clenched, eyes filled with loathing of Quinn Lockwood.

Originally, today’s dance was stealing the spotlight from her, as she was the leading lady of this show, but now, whether inside the film set or outside, Quinn Lockwood was evidently more famous, even if negatively. For origınal chapters go to novel(ꜰ)ire.net

And now Elias Sinclair’s attention distractedly wandered to her, watching Quinn Lockwood’s captivating performance, Ariana Lynch’s eyes brimmed with jealousy and resentment.

After finishing the scene, the crew responsible for routine filming uploaded Quinn Lockwood’s breathtaking dance online, sparking a frenzy.

However, this time, it wasn’t merely negative news.

Many were charmed by Quinn Lockwood’s alluring aura, plus her repeatedly revealed daily life footage, leading people to see her as somewhat of a budding talent.

Nevertheless, some haters wouldn’t buy it, due to angular filming, Quinn Lockwood’s face wasn’t very clear. The haters flatly smeared saying Quinn Lockwood was desperately seeking fame and even hired a double for publicity.

Seeing the news, Quinn Lockwood felt helpless but had no choice, despite being furious, she could only turn a blind eye.
