The next morning, Quinn Lockwood was woken up by a series of phone calls from Anna, Dylan Quinn, and Xenia Monroe.
The three of them hurriedly called her to deliver one message: "Quick, check X!"
As Quinn logged into X, she apologized to the director for oversleeping, but Quentin Woods’s assistant picked up and assured her that someone had already taken care of her absence the night before.
Even with her toes, Quinn could guess who had called in for her.
However, she had no time to dwell on it, as logging into X revealed she was trending again.
"Savannah Lowell and Mr. Sinclair: Marriage on the rocks, affair with Meridian Silicon Valley Group heir."
What the hell, what kind of nonsense title is this?
Quinn hurriedly clicked into the news and found out that photos of her returning home with Mikael the night before had been posted online, along with pictures from their previous dinner where she was holding flowers.
It was evident someone came prepared!
Quinn quickly scrolled through the comments, all condemning her alleged affair with Mikael and speculating that she intended to use the Silicon Valley Group’s influence to boost the Lowell Family.
Looking at the gibberish below accusing her of craving attention, being promiscuous, and even criticizing Elias Sinclair as "cold-natured," Quinn couldn’t help but mentally spit in disgust.
"I have a clear conscience, there’s nothing to fear from baseless rumors."
Though Elias Sinclair had excused her from the set, Quinn still tidied up and headed out.
Besides shooting her film, she had a slew of interviews and magazine shoots lined up.
Throughout the way, Quinn received numerous news alerts. Glancing at them, she saw Mikael had posted on X, explaining their overnight stay.
"Every cheating celebrity claims they were just going over the script, stop explaining already."
"That’s too fake, Mikael. Savannah Lowell is already married, even Meridia isn’t that open-minded, right?"
Naturally, nobody online believed Quinn and Mikael, a lone man and woman, spent that much time in a room solely on the script.
Some advised Mikael to give up on Quinn, warning that even as the Silicon Valley Group heir, Mr. Sinclair wouldn’t let him off lightly.
Quinn rolled her eyes intensely, feeling utterly speechless!
Yet she didn’t dwell on it much, planning to deal with it once she was free.
Oddly enough, during her evening interview, reporters didn’t bring up the overnight scandal.
They only asked about her future career plans and her relationship with Elias Sinclair.
Feeling something was off, Quinn returned to her dressing room post-interview and logged onto X.
The trending overnight scandal was gone, replaced by other celebrity gossip and program hypes. This update ıs available on NovєlFіre.net
Flipping through further, she found a later trend titled: "Mr. Sinclair Clarifies."
What’s going on? What did Elias post?
Surprised, Quinn clicked into Elias Sinclair’s page swiftly.
Elias posted at 5 a.m., claiming he was the one with Quinn last night, going over the script.
As he got off work late, he asked Mikael to first accompany his wife over.
"Savannah, the reporters are here, ready to interview!" Anna’s call from the doorway snapped Quinn out of her daze.
"On my way." Quinn responded, quickly exiting X.
Though surprised by Elias’s public support, Quinn felt a hint of gratitude toward him.
This time, she’d forgive that moody guy! Last night’s disagreement would be settled just !
Breathing a sigh of relief, Quinn’s mood improved slightly.
Meanwhile, Elias Sinclair, our key player in this event resolution, felt restless.
Leaning with his head on one hand, his eyes squinted, he sat at his office desk, occasionally glancing at his phone.
It seemed since morning, Elias hadn’t handled much company business.
For a call or message from Quinn Lockwood.
Suddenly, a notification pinged, and Elias quickly checked his phone, though the message carried Quinn’s name, it wasn’t from her.
It was a push for Quinn’s latest entertainment interview video.
Elias promptly played the video, but seeing her replies increased his irritation.
"Miss Lowell, could you share when you and Mr. Sinclair got married? It was quite the sensation linking these prominent families!" An entertainment reporter eagerly handed Quinn a microphone.
"Um, sorry, I can’t recall the exact date, it’s just what’s on the marriage certificate." Quinn awkwardly forced a smile.
She and Elias hadn’t held a wedding, just registered the marriage.
And that certificate had taken a few days due to grandfathers and Savannah’s melodramatics.
To pinpoint the day, in all honesty, Quinn’s memory wouldn’t serve.
"Miss Lowell, besides work connections, do you and Mr. Mikael share deeper ties, perhaps business collaborations? Rumor has it The Lowell Cloudfall Group aims to venture into chip tech."
Can’t deny the reporter’s inquiries were sharp and professional.
For a moment, Quinn suspected Wade Lynch sent them to hassle her.
"I’m not too clear on company affairs."
"Mikael’s not only a colleague but also a great partner, practically a mentor..."
The video played till Elias abruptly closed it.
Staring at the phone screen displaying their marriage certificate photo as the background, a deep, blank expression crossed his face.
With the knock, an assistant entered carrying a stack of documents.
"Get out!" Elias coldly glanced at Kevin burdened with files, impatiently snapping.
Startled, Kevin hurriedly departed.
Recalling his boss’s grim expression, Kevin felt a wave of sympathy and sighs internally.
