CHAPTER 3: CHAPTER 3: NEVER ADMIT DEFEAT

Quinn Lockwood suddenly met his gaze, her clear eyes showing no trace of joy or sorrow, but instead, a fiery, fearless anger.

Under Elias Sinclair’s incredulous gaze, she lifted her leg and aimed straight for the man’s most vulnerable spot!

Although he dodged quickly, he was still hit, and his handsome face turned as black as if it could drip ink.

"You’re such a narcissistic fool! Do you think you’re in some kind of trashy romance drama? I can’t be bothered with you!" Quinn Lockwood rubbed her sore neck, not even glancing at Elias Sinclair, and walked towards her room as if escaping.

She left behind the furious man, who squeezed out three words through clenched teeth: "Savannah Lowell!"

Who is Savannah Lowell? She couldn’t hear!

Quinn Lockwood slammed the door shut with a bang, truly feeling like her heart was about to jump out of her chest. If it weren’t for the fact that this was a society governed by law, she might actually believe that icy man would strangle her.

Elias Sinclair was too dangerous, it seemed she would be wise to stay away from him in the future.

Quinn Lockwood, exhausted, rubbed her temples as she approached the computer and turned it on to access the internet.

Since she had already decided to live under the identity of Savannah Lowell, she had to first get accustomed to her past to avoid drawing suspicion due to too much of a contrast!

However, as soon as she opened X, a pinned message instantly caught her eye—

’Savannah Lowell clinging to the Sinclair Group boss, shamelessly being slapped with harsh truths, causing outrage. Recently rumored to have bullied newcomers on a set, millions of fans are shouting for Savannah Lowell to get out of the circle...’

Quinn Lockwood raised an eyebrow, clicked on the trending topic, and a wave of comments further scolded Savannah Lowell to the skies, with some sharp remarks that she felt embarrassed to read closely.

Some extreme users even turned Savannah Lowell’s photo to black and white and hung it in the comments as if to mourn her?!

Quinn Lockwood sighed, thinking about how Savannah Lowell could remain fearless and true to herself in such an environment, she suddenly felt a bit of admiration for her...

But admiration aside, after recalling it, Quinn had to admit that this woman really did bring trouble upon herself.

Things like making shocking statements on the red carpet, having poor acting skills yet boasting narcissistically on screen, bullying newcomers openly on reality shows, lip-syncing blatantly on variety shows...

All this black information, as much as you could dig up by the bucketful!

Quinn Lockwood always used to think that those net trolls and haters in the entertainment circle were just bored and full of themselves, why should it concern them what someone else does, after all, it’s just a screen separating them, you can’t determine a person’s true nature by sight alone, it’s okay to dislike, why verbally abuse people, and even worse, some have been driven to depression by such cyber violence, these actions are sometimes even scarier than real murderers.

But looking at it now, she couldn’t help but sigh, there really is no smoke without fire...

Still, speaking of which, Savannah Lowell’s accidental death, which allowed her to step in, seemed to be brought about by her own self-destructive behavior.

Elias Sinclair forced her to sign a contract, and when she refused, Savannah Lowell resorted to crying, making a scene, even threatening suicide by hitting a wall and stumbling onto the balcony to threaten jumping off.

Quinn Lockwood touched her bandaged forehead, looking conflicted; maybe that hit was what killed Savannah...

It was indeed a bit terrifying...

As she thought about it, she sighed inwardly. Since she had already begun living under Savannah Lowell’s identity, she must turn things around in the future. As for men, she really wouldn’t be able to help the former Savannah Lowell keep them... But her reputation, she had to restore it, so that silly girl wouldn’t have died in vain; when the whole world didn’t know she had left, at least she’d be remembered by her.

Quinn Lockwood rubbed her throbbing temples, intending to close the trending topics, but as her gaze swept to the bottom message, her face suddenly turned pale.

’Lockwood Group Chairman’s long-lost daughter found, suspected to be an extra actress in the entertainment industry, Mr. Lockwood spoils his daughter and sets up an economic company for his long-lost daughter...’

Quinn Lockwood felt dizzy, forcefully clicked on the trending topic, and as she looked at the photo of a woman with a radiant smile, she practically wanted to eat her alive!

"Ariana Lynch..."

Her hands suddenly clenched tightly, her knuckles turning white and blue; that bitch had indeed succeeded in taking her place and recognizing her father!

Quinn Lockwood with red eyes read through the X content word by word, and there was even a video attached.

She trembled slightly as she clicked play, seeing Nathan Lockwood holding Ariana Lynch’s hand with a face full of paternal love, speaking with a tremor in his voice to the media cameras: "The thing I regret most in this life is my daughter, but thankfully heaven has shown mercy on me, finding my precious jewel in my twilight years. From now on, I promise to give her the best of everything in this world and never let her suffer any grievance again..."

Ariana Lynch smiled with both gratitude and poise, but Quinn Lockwood could never forget the malicious, greedy look she wore when mocking her just before her death.

Suppressing her turbulent emotions, she swept her eyes over the report below, which speculated on Ariana Lynch’s future developments, hinting that with an economic company and a doting chairman father, future prospects and growth went without saying.

With resentment in her heart and cool cheeks, Quinn Lockwood wiped her face in surprise to find she was crying.

She had harbored hate for Nathan Lockwood before, which is why she never went back to acknowledge her family, but only now, after hearing the words in that video, did she understand that the bond of blood and family could never be severed...

All of this should have been hers and her mother’s, but now it was all occupied by that bitch Ariana Lynch through deceitful means!

Thinking of the way her mother looked before she died, and the all-consuming flames that surrounded her, Quinn Lockwood couldn’t help but breathe heavily.

This vengeance, no matter what, she had to exact it! And her current identity was a gift from the heavens, it seemed!

Quinn Lockwood forcefully closed the laptop, her clear almond eyes becoming as dark as ink. She swallowed the bitterness completely, carried the dull pain in her chest, and fell asleep without even changing her clothes.

There was a long and hard battle ahead, and even if she was alone without support, she would never admit defeat.

Early the next morning, Quinn Lockwood quietly left The Sinclair Family house. Yesterday, she had kicked Elias Sinclair, the leading head of Veridia City’s financial giants; she couldn’t just openly leave without risking being retaliated against!

Quinn Lockwood disguised herself thoroughly. To avoid alerting others, she didn’t even use her car, opting to take a taxi back to the Lowell Family.

She planned to start with the Lowell Family’s parents, after all, the Lowell Family’s influence was not much less than that of The Lockwood Family. Objectively speaking, if she managed to utilize the Lowell Family’s resources, suppressing Ariana Lynch shouldn’t be too difficult. However, all of this depended on her genuinely gaining the approval of the Lowell Family’s parents.

The Lowell Family resided in a rare peaceful section of the bustling downtown, with a three-story, stately mansion of red brick and green tiles that was both spacious and imposing, uplifting the spirits of anyone who saw it.

Quinn Lockwood followed her memory to the front door, taking a deep breath as she looked at the iron fence in front.

Saying she wasn’t nervous would be a lie, as she was about to meet people she was all too familiar with, and any slip would be noticeable...

She stood for a while, then finally entered the password, and at the moment the door opened, Quinn Lockwood was stunned.

Before her, was a pair of gentle, captivating eyes.
