A Night of Desire

Chapter 466: Chapter 459: Silly Little Girl, What Are You Thinking?

"Really?" Clara Grant disagreed. "Haven’t you heard the saying? Love makes people blind. Especially for women. Sometimes, a woman will do anything to get the love she wants. No matter how high her IQ or EQ usually is, it drops to zero at a time like that."

Seth Quinn shifted slightly, staring at her as he asked, "So, you mean you’re insisting she’s the one who did it?"

Clara Grant shook her head. "I don’t know for sure. It’s just a vague intuition."

"Then I’ll have my people investigate thoroughly. We’ll focus on Faye Jennings and Sandra," Seth Quinn said with a nod.

Clara Grant froze for a moment. She had expected him to think it was flippant and childish of her to name a culprit based on nothing but a vague intuition. To her surprise, he decided to follow her lead and investigate further.

She couldn’t help but ask, stunned, "I’m suspecting your top actress based on nothing but a gut feeling. Aren’t you angry?"

"Angry?" This time, it was Seth Quinn who seemed taken aback. "Why would I be angry?"

"Faye Jennings is your company’s top actress. She’s also your biggest money-making star."

"And?"

"Aren’t you afraid that if the investigation proves it really was her, your company will lose a key asset and you’ll lose a lot of money?"

Hearing this, Seth Quinn didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He looked at her and said, "Come here."

Confused, Clara Grant walked over and sat on the edge of the bed.

Seth Quinn wasn’t satisfied with the distance. "A little closer."

Clara Grant seemed to have already forgotten her recent resolution to never fall for his tricks again. She leaned in. Seth Quinn’s fingers moved, and he gently flicked the tip of her nose. There was a helpless laugh in his voice,

"Silly girl, what are you thinking? Do you really think that just because Faye Jennings is the company’s top actress and makes me money, I’d consider her more important than you? Compared to you, a top actress means nothing. Money means nothing."

Clara Grant rubbed her nose, which was a little sore from his flick. She frowned, her voice a completely unthreatening threat. "Didn’t I tell you not to move? If you don’t listen to me again, I really won’t forgive you."

The moment she finished speaking, she let out a soft laugh. She didn’t even know what she was laughing about; she simply felt so happy that she couldn’t help it.

...

Even though she knew Miles Quinn didn’t like her, Chloe Grant hadn’t given up on the idea of marrying him.

When she found out he was shooting at the film studio, she went several times, trying to see him under the guise of a set visit. But each time, the staff turned her away for various reasons.

’It must have been Miles Quinn who gave the order.’

But even though she knew he was busy filming and unlikely to have time to come back to the city, Chloe Grant would still periodically drive over to Miles Quinn’s private apartment and wait outside for a while.

’What if, by some miracle, she happened to run into him while he was back in the city?’

Besides, she was blacklisted now. With no roles to film and it being summer vacation, she was completely idle and had all the time in the world.

Today, she once again found herself casually driving to the residential complex where Miles Quinn’s apartment was located.

Just as she reached the entrance, she saw a familiar car pulling out of the main gate.

Chloe Grant recognized it as Miles Quinn’s car. Her eyes lit up, but just as she was about to open her window and call out to him, his car had already roared off into the distance.

Without a second thought, Chloe Grant made a U-turn and followed him.

’She’d lost count of how many times she’d come here to wait for him over the past month. Now that she’d finally caught him, there was no way she was letting this chance to see him slip away.’

Chloe Grant’s initial plan was to catch up and cut him off, but Miles Quinn was driving incredibly fast. Even when Chloe floored it, she couldn’t seem to close the distance between them.

At first, she assumed he was driving so fast because he was in a hurry to get to the film set. But as she followed him, she realized he wasn’t going to the set at all. Instead, he drove to a hospital on the outskirts of the city.
