A Night of Desire

Chapter 468: Chapter 461: Don’t Underestimate Her

Chloe Grant was amused by Autumn Shelby’s inexplicable confidence. She wasn’t in such a hurry anymore. After all, if Seth Quinn and Clara Grant didn’t break up, Autumn would probably be more anxious than she was.

But her tone was still exceptionally sincere. "However, Autumn, you shouldn’t underestimate Clara Grant. She has a lot of tricks up her sleeve, especially when it comes to seducing men. She has all sorts of schemes for that. I’m at XX Hospital right now, on the border between the city and the suburbs, and I just happened to overhear something about Seth Quinn and Clara Grant."

At this, Chloe Grant paused deliberately, building the suspense.

Autumn Shelby scoffed dismissively. Admiring her freshly manicured nails, she asked nonchalantly, "What about them?"

"President Quinn is injured. And he was injured saving Clara Grant." After speaking, a sneer played on Chloe Grant’s lips as she waited for Autumn’s reaction.

Sure enough, the moment the words left her mouth, Autumn Shelby shot upright. "What? Seth is injured?"

’And to save Clara, of all people!!!’

"Yes, and I also heard that President Quinn was shot taking a bullet for Clara Grant."

Autumn Shelby practically ground her teeth to dust. She clenched her fist and slammed it onto the blanket.

’That bitch, Clara... is she really that important to him? He even took a bullet for her!’

’And another thing—since Clara already knows Seth lied to her about Cherie, why hasn’t she left him?’

’Hmph. I actually thought Clara was different from all the other women desperately chasing after Seth. I never expected she’d be the type to endure anything just to marry up!’

’I can’t believe I outsmarted myself by telling her the truth about how Seth deceived her. Is that bitch secretly gloating right now?’

’Gloating that Seth would even resort to deception to be with her? Gloating that he’d risk his own life to take a bullet for her?’

Autumn Shelby was suddenly filled with regret. She hadn’t thought things through before telling Clara Grant about Cherie.

’But, Clara, do you really think I’ll give up just like that?’

Autumn Shelby calmed herself and asked Chloe Grant, "Are you sure they’re at XX Hospital?"

"Of course!"

"Good!" Autumn Shelby said only that one word before hanging up. Chloe Grant stared at the phone, which had been hung up on without any warning, and frowned in disgust.

’If I weren’t using her to take down Clara and relying on her to marry Miles Quinn, I would never team up with such a self-important princess!’

But in that moment, Chloe Grant forgot that she and Autumn Shelby were actually the same kind of person. In fact, if her social status were higher than Autumn’s, she would have behaved even more outrageously.

Putting her phone away, Chloe Grant thought for a moment, then turned and walked out of the hospital.

’This isn’t a good time to go look for Miles. When Autumn inevitably causes a scene, I’d rather not get caught in the crossfire and make an even worse impression on him.’

...

After hanging up, Autumn Shelby called Sienna Hale.

"What?!" Upon hearing that her son was injured, Sienna Hale shot to her feet as if she’d exploded. She swayed and nearly fell over.

Luckily, Theodore Quinn, who was beside her, had quick reflexes and stood to steady her. "Sienna, what’s wrong?"

Sienna Hale, however, ignored him as if she hadn’t heard a word. Her voice trembling, she asked Autumn Shelby, "Seth has a gunshot wound? What on earth happened?"

Hearing her words, Theodore Quinn couldn’t help but frown. ’Seth is injured?’

"Yes, Aunt Sienna. I’m not exactly sure about the details yet myself. All I know is that Seth was shot because of Clara Grant."
