CHAPTER 413: CHAPTER 413: COMPLICATED

"You dare! Let go of me! Go and grab her!" Ariana Lynch kicked her legs fiercely, pointing resentfully in Quinn Lockwood’s direction, her voice sharp and piercing.

The staff taking Quinn Lockwood away were all employees sent by the Lockwood Group to the production crew.

Seeing Ariana Lynch like this, they sighed helplessly.

Initially, they didn’t dare to forcibly take her away due to Ariana Lynch’s status, but thankfully Miss Lowell reminded them, or else it would have been embarrassing even if it didn’t hurt anyone.

Once Ariana Lynch was taken away, the scene returned to quiet.

Except for some staff tidying up the scene, everyone gathered outside the resting room, waiting to inquire about the situation of the two heiresses.

The director even called the chief physician from a private noble hospital to check on them.

Fortunately, Quinn Lockwood was just a bit cold.

But Ariana Lynch’s situation was not as optimistic.

She seemed somewhat neurotic, her overall state very poor, even her temper became irritable, smashing things continuously in the resting room.

Because the doctor privately told Ariana Lynch that she couldn’t engage in any intense activity, or it would have some impact on the late development of the child in her belly.

Ariana Lynch clearly couldn’t continue filming today.

Due to the halting of the shooting progress, the director was actually a bit unhappy.

Just two days since starting filming, only one scene barely satisfied him, which wasn’t due to Ariana Lynch’s performance.

Everyone had long noticed that Ariana Lynch’s acting wasn’t that good, and she was picky and pretentious.

If it weren’t because the investor was the Lockwood Group, the director would have long chosen to replace her.

After drinking a bowl of cold-dispelling herbal medicine, Quinn Lockwood hurriedly returned to the shooting scene to prepare for the next scene, overhearing the director and producer complaining about Ariana Lynch.

"Look at her crazed state just now; it’s unbelievable that a Lockwood Family heiress could be such a crude and rude person."

"Ah, she was always a bumpkin in the past, only found and brought back by Mr. Lockwood. Even if she became a Lockwood heiress, it’s just an elevated status, twenty years of rustic habits can’t be changed easily."

"Exactly, only flaunting her feathers, without real skills."

These people were clearly oppressed by Ariana Lynch for a long time; when complaining about her, their faces were full of disgust and disdain, showing no respect as they would face to face.

Seeing Quinn Lockwood come over, they hurriedly shut their mouths simultaneously, bowing their heads to busy themselves with their tasks.

Quinn Lockwood raised an eyebrow, involuntarily scoffing coldly.

This was only half of Ariana Lynch’s true nature; wait until she fully reveals her real personality, then you’ll know how vile it really is.

Quinn Lockwood was deceived by Ariana Lynch for several years, and only until losing her life did she discover her true nature.

Now, it seems her emotions are easily exposed.

That’s a good thing.

Ariana Lynch, I will peel off your ornate facade layer by layer, revealing the ugly and muddy heart within.

Because of Ariana Lynch, the main storyline shooting didn’t continue, only filming some minor characters’ scenes before everyone went home.

Quinn Lockwood sat in the back seat of the car, driven home by the driver.

Along the way back to the Sinclair Residence, the scenery remained unchanged, autumn leaves still withering as usual, the sky still purely azure, yet the mood of the person viewing it wasn’t as relaxed and pleasant as before.

Quinn Lockwood stared blankly out of the window, lost in thought.

She kept thinking about Elias Sinclair.

Apparently, she really fell in love with Elias Sinclair.

But whenever she thought of the scene in the office with him and that woman, Quinn Lockwood felt stifled and uncomfortable.

Something she wanted to hold onto tightly, but no matter how hard she tried, she just couldn’t grasp it.

Moreover, Quinn Lockwood sensed that Elias Sinclair seemed to be quarreling with her over Jonah Hansen’s affairs.

He must have misunderstood.

Quinn Lockwood’s eyes slightly furrowed, perhaps... they really shouldn’t continue the mutual misunderstandings.

After all, they’ve had that sort of relationship, and are truly a married couple in fact.

So, some issues should be clarified clearly.

Though she didn’t know what Elias Sinclair’s relationship with that woman was, Quinn Lockwood knew it wasn’t as simple as Xenia Monroe suggested,

because the moment she entered the office, she felt the intense tenderness and love from that woman towards Elias Sinclair.

This matter she must find a chance to clarify, but the urgent thing now is how to explain her matter with Jonah Hansen to Elias Sinclair.

She should think of some other tactful wording for explanation.

Finally determined to find Elias Sinclair, Quinn Lockwood learned from a servant that he went on a business trip and wouldn’t be back until four days later.

Quinn Lockwood suddenly felt lost, she had been running so hard, clearly seeing bright light at the end of the tunnel, only to be thrown back to square one, into endless darkness, forced to wait long.

Empty.

Never mind, let’s wait until he returns to discuss.

Quinn Lockwood returned to her room, soaked in the bathtub for over half an hour before coming out.

Wrapped in a towel, she collapsed on the sofa, flipping mindlessly through her phone, unknowingly stumbling upon her previous social media account.

It was Quinn Lockwood’s.

She clicked into the profile to check around, the posts still paused at a year ago, when she went out to play with her mom.

Mom, I hope you’re doing well there?

Quinn Lockwood’s fingertips gently caressed the woman’s graceful and elegant photo on the screen, feeling increasingly upset.

She wondered, after her mother passed, whether anyone spoke to her on the account.

Maybe, maybe no one cared about her at all.

Thinking this, Quinn Lockwood suddenly felt terribly curious, so she logged out of Savannah Lowell’s account and logged into her old number.

Thankfully, the result didn’t let Quinn Lockwood down.

As soon as she logged into the account, many unread messages appeared.

"Quinn, though I know you can’t see, I still want to tell you, I really, really miss you."

"Wishing you a peaceful journey, may the next life be free of sorrow."

Quinn Lockwood’s former classmates and friends sent many messages expressing their longing, she patiently read them one by one, her heart sour.

Turns out, they had always missed her and cared about her.

Quinn Lockwood suddenly felt very sorry towards these friends.
