A Night of Desire

Chapter 475: Chapter 468: I’ll Never Bother You Again

"What are you doing?!" Autumn Shelby jumped, her voice panicked.

Clara Grant grabbed her hand. Before Autumn could react, Clara swung Autumn’s own hand and slapped her hard across the face, answering the question with a resounding "SLAP!"

After the slap, Clara Grant flung her hand away and said coldly, "There. I’ve satisfied your request. Can I go now?"

Without waiting for a response, she brushed past Autumn, walked straight to the hospital room door, pushed it open, and went inside.

Autumn Shelby stood stunned for a long moment before she snapped out of it. She clutched her face and turned to glare at the hospital room door, her eyes practically shooting flames. ’She had wanted to provoke Clara, but she never imagined that bitch would actually use her own hand to slap her own face!’

’How was she supposed to go in there now, play the victim, and win their sympathy? How could she make Sienna Hale despise Clara Grant even more?’

’Was she supposed to go in and tell them Clara grabbed her hand and made her hit herself? Who would believe that?’

’Damn it! To think she’d fallen into that bitch’s trap!’

’But she absolutely wouldn’t take this humiliation lying down!’

With that thought, Autumn Shelby also started walking toward the hospital room.

Clara Grant walked through the sitting area and reached the door to the inner room. She grabbed the doorknob, but just as she opened the door a crack, she froze.

Sienna Hale’s voice carried clearly from inside. "...Seth, a woman like her will do nothing but drag you down. You should just hurry up and divorce her. We might have valued her ’clean’ family background before, but now...

"Sigh. I really don’t know what you see in her, to be so devoted! If you’re talking about looks, aren’t there plenty of women more beautiful than she is? Autumn is just as lovely..."

"Mom!"

"Mom!"

Before Sienna Hale could finish, Seth Quinn and Miles Quinn cut her off in unison, both sounding impatient.

Annoyed at being interrupted by her two sons, Sienna Hale frowned and turned to Miles Quinn. "Miles, why are you getting involved? You bear some of the blame for this, too. If you had just agreed to marry Chloe Grant back then, would we have ever needed your brother to marry Clara Grant?"

Seeing his mother turn on him, Miles Quinn said irritably, "Mom, what does this have to do with me marrying Chloe Grant? Besides, my sister-in-law is a good person. Her background might not be the best, but her character is what matters. Why do you care so much about all that? And you can’t blame her for what happened this time, either. She’s clearly a victim, too."

"You..." Sienna Hale started to say, but Seth Quinn cut her off again, his voice sharp with impatience.

"Mom, can you please just be quiet for a little while? How am I supposed to rest and recover with all this?"

As soon as Seth finished, Theodore Quinn cleared his throat and chimed in. "Sienna, that’s enough! Let’s just go home for now. It’ll be better for Seth to rest in peace."

Sienna Hale grew even more displeased. She glanced at the three men and said, "What is this? Aren’t I just trying to do what’s best for Seth?"

"If you really wanted what’s best for me, you’d listen to Dad and go home for now." Seth said, then glanced at Miles Quinn. "Miles, see Mom and Dad out for me."

Sienna Hale shot to her feet, fuming. "Fine, fine, fine! I’ll leave! I won’t come back and be an eyesore. Is that what you want?"

Hearing footsteps approaching the door, Clara, who was still outside, didn’t want to run straight into a fuming Sienna Hale. She turned to get out of the way.

But as soon as she turned, she saw Autumn Shelby standing right behind her.
