CHAPTER 380: CHAPTER 380: THE TRUTH

Even choosing to go over at night to rehearse was to avoid making Anna suspicious and exposing her identity, yet she didn’t expect the other party had been secretly focusing on this issue, and now even used it to slander her!

Quinn Lockwood was really glad she didn’t tell Anna everything. She was truly like a wild wolf that could never be tamed, potentially devouring her completely without leaving a trace.

"I am really sorry everyone, as I haven’t been a director for long, I’m not very famous, and not many people know my identity."

"My name is Isaac Holloway, I’m Quinn Lockwood’s uncle, the youngest in the maternal side of the Lowell family." Director Holloway seemed a bit embarrassed to reveal his identity. Like his niece Quinn, he didn’t like to use his identity to pressure others.

"I think it’s perfectly normal for a niece to live at her uncle’s house, no? Or do some people think I would do something inappropriate to my niece?"

Isaac Holloway’s expression instantly turned serious as his cold gaze fell on Anna, his words were sharp and resonant.

Everyone’s eyes were once again focused on Anna, she didn’t expect Quinn Lockwood and Director Holloway to actually be related, and felt humiliated and embarrassed.

She was unwilling to accept it.

Did Quinn Lockwood set this trap for her on purpose, or was she truly just this lucky every time?

All this blackmail seemed to have never caused any substantial harm to her. In just a few days, she would clear her name and even gain a group of fan girls.

The murmurs and disdainful stares from the reporters made Anna extremely uncomfortable.

She glared fiercely, gritting her teeth firmly.

"Even if you and Director Holloway are relatives, what about everything else? Who knows if this Linda was bribed by you, or if you threatened her with your influence!"

Anna was unwilling to accept it, she didn’t believe Quinn Lockwood could walk away unscathed this time.

Gabriel Zane, the person involved, had already disappeared, and the photo evidence had already been exposed. Whatever Quinn Lockwood said to explain would be just baseless and forced arguments.

"The Sinclair Group and the Lowell family have never stooped to threatening others." At this moment, a deep, chilling voice came from the side of the stage.

Elias Sinclair stood up from his seat, his handsome face looked as cold as ice, the ominous aura surrounding him made everyone in the hall feel like the temperature had suddenly dropped significantly.

Joyce Kramer, who had just returned to the country, was also immediately called by Elias Sinclair to the press conference. She was now standing respectfully behind Elias Sinclair.

He strode onto the stage with his long legs, politely nodding to Uncle Holloway.

Uncle Holloway nodded in return with a smile, appreciatively patting Elias Sinclair on the back before stepping off the stage.

With Elias’s presence to handle the situation, he no longer needed to worry, and was eager to go back to talk about this with his older sister, so she wouldn’t constantly worry about Savannah at home.

Joyce Kramer followed Elias Sinclair onto the stage, and at the moment her gaze met with Quinn Lockwood, a trace of resentment flashed through her eyes.

"You seem very curious about my private matters with my wife?" The man raised an eyebrow, his sharp gaze falling on Anna with a hint of anger.

Anna lifted her head to look at Elias Sinclair, and the moment their eyes met, she was frightened and took two steps back.

"N-no," Anna felt suffocated by Elias Sinclair’s oppressive aura, and she seemed to have understood the implication of his words.

Was he questioning her about the allegation that Quinn Lockwood drugged her?

Could it be that at that time they were already...

Anna began to break out in a cold sweat, recalling the photo of the marriage certificate on Elias’s official X announcement. The date on it seemed... it had been a year and a half ago.

"Don’t let me hear you spreading nonsense again." Elias Sinclair’s eyebrows furrowed tightly, his tone extremely deep and harsh.

He gave Anna a cold glance, and there seemed to be a small fire igniting in his eyes.

He walked over to Quinn Lockwood, lowering his gaze to gently look at her, saying in a low voice, "I know who’s behind this. Don’t worry, I will resolve it soon."

Behind him, Joyce Kramer saw how gentle and careful Elias was with Quinn Lockwood, and a feeling of jealousy arose in her heart.

Hearing Elias claim he knew who the mastermind was made her heart suddenly tighten, feeling a bit flustered.

She quietly shifted her position, slightly lifting her head to observe Elias’s expression, and seeing that he didn’t look at her, nor displayed any odd expression, she let out a slight breath of relief.

There were so many people blackmailing Quinn Lockwood, how could it possibly be traced back to her?

"Bring him up." Elias Sinclair pulled Quinn Lockwood to turn around, his long eyes slightly squinting, glinting with a dangerous light.

Then, from backstage, two bodyguards escorted a man up to the stage, the very missing blackmailer.

Joyce Kramer’s heart skipped a beat, starting to pound heavily in her chest, her head felt a bit dizzy, and her face turned slightly pale.

"It’s him!" Quinn Lockwood was a little surprised, not expecting Elias Sinclair to have found this blackmailer. She thought he had disappeared domestically as well.

Elias Sinclair’s eyes were deep and unfathomable. He nodded to the two bodyguards, signaling them to release the blackmailer.

The bodyguards nodded and released the blackmailer, standing guard on either side of the stage.

"Speak." Elias Sinclair looked at the man, his eyes sharply decisive and imposing, uttering just a single word that stunned everyone present.

Quinn Lockwood tightened her grip on the hand Elias was holding, seemingly a bit nervous.

Elias Sinclair sensed Quinn Lockwood’s unease, lowered his head to observe her expression, and brought her close to his broad chest.

The blackmailer couldn’t help but shiver, obediently lowering his head and taking two steps forward, accepting the microphone handed over by a nearby assistant.

"I deliberately orchestrated this play to slander Savannah Lowell. I also bribed Linda to testify, and threatened her that if she dared to speak out, I would have someone deal with her."

"Also... Anna, she was the one who approached me, saying she wanted to take down Savannah Lowell together, she even gave me some money to make the issue bigger."

"I was the one who arranged for Gabriel Zane to flee abroad as well. As soon as the trending search hit the list, I bought a ticket to send her to Seridia."

The blackmailer’s back teeth couldn’t help but chatter, sensing the ominous gaze on him.

In that night when this man found him, he didn’t know how much he had suffered.

The methods and punishments this man employed on him were way more painful than a broken arm.

Joyce Kramer stood at the back of the stage, secretly glancing up to gauge this blackmailer’s expression, feeling extremely anxious, her calves seemed to shiver slightly a few times.
