Chapter 618: Chapter 615: A Grand Show Is Always More Exciting With a Crowd

The sudden ringing startled her. She looked down and saw Sarah’s name on the screen.

She quickly answered it, but the voice on the other end was a stranger’s.

By the time Seth came out, dressed, Clara was just hanging up the phone. The moment she saw him, she grabbed his arm and pulled him toward the door. "Seth, hurry! Sarah’s drunk at The Starlight Bar."

...

Chloe Grant quickly drove to the main gate of the Shelby estate. She didn’t have to wait long before Autumn Shelby came out and got into her car.

"Where’s the evidence?" Autumn asked the moment she got in the car.

"Oh, right here." Chloe quickly pulled out her phone, found the recording, and played it for her.

When the recording finished, a smug smile spread across Autumn’s face. "Hmm, this is good evidence. Clara Grant took the initiative to seduce Miles Quinn and had a one-night stand with him... but then she turned around and married Seth. First she seduces the younger brother, then she comes after the older one. There’s no way the Quinn Family will tolerate her after this!"

When Chloe heard her mention Miles and Clara having a one-night stand, she couldn’t help but retort softly, "From what Sarah said, it sounds like the most Miles did was kiss her. Nothing else happened."

’Miles is mine! How can I stand another woman getting her hands on him, especially Clara, the woman I hate most?!’

But she had barely finished speaking when Autumn shot her an irritated glare. "Are you an idiot? Even if nothing happened, we have to make everyone believe it did!

That’s the only way we can drive Clara out of the Quinn family for good. Then I can marry Seth, and you’ll have your chance with Miles. Don’t you ever say that again, you hear me?"

Chloe nodded. "I understand."

Autumn shoved the phone back into her hand. "Get someone to edit this recording properly, and keep it somewhere safe."

Chloe understood what she meant—she wanted her to edit out her own leading statements from the recording. She nodded again. "I understand, Autumn."

She put her phone away, then looked up at Autumn. "So, Autumn, when do we make our move?"

Autumn pondered for a moment, then a slow smile spread across her face. "In a few days, it’ll be Uncle Quinn’s sixtieth birthday. The Quinns will be throwing a huge banquet. I’m sure most of Novaria’s high society will be there to celebrate."

Chloe caught on immediately and smiled along with her. "Yes, that’s a perfect day for it. A drama this big is always more exciting with a large audience."

With that, she and Autumn looked at each other and smiled.

...

When Clara and Seth rushed into The Starlight Bar, Sarah was still slumped over in the same spot. They hurried over to her. Clara helped Sarah sit up, and her heart ached seeing her friend so drunk she was completely unconscious.

The bartender saw them, put down what he was doing, and came over. "Excuse me, are you friends with this lady?" he asked.

"Ma’am?" Clara was a little taken aback.

"Oh, I’d called her ’Miss,’ but she said she was a married woman and told me to call her ’Ma’am’," the bartender explained.

Clara glanced down at Sarah. ’I know she never wanted to get married, never wanted to be a wife. Having people call her ’Ma’am’ must be her way of mocking herself.’

Clara remembered his question and quickly looked back up at him. "Oh, yes, I’m her friend. You’re the one who called me. Thank you so much for doing that for her."

"It was no problem. Oh, right, this is her purse. I was worried someone might take it if I left it out, so I put it aside for her." As he spoke, the bartender took Sarah’s purse from behind the bar and handed it to Clara.

"Oh, okay. Thank you so much," Clara said, thanking him again.
