Chapter 687: Chapter 684: A Sudden Disturbance (13)

The audience erupted into thunderous applause once more...

"Alright, I won’t keep you any longer. For today’s banquet, I hope you all eat, drink, and enjoy yourselves."

With that, Theodore Quinn descended from the stage, and soft, gentle music immediately began to play, echoing throughout the hall.

Amidst the soothing music, the guests began to drink and chat freely...

In a corner that went unnoticed, Chloe Grant casually sidled up to Autumn Shelby.

Autumn Shelby glanced at her from the corner of her eye, warily scanning their surroundings before whispering, "Is it all set?"

"Of course," Chloe Grant said with a sinister smirk. "In a moment, the so-called First Young Mistress Quinn, the woman everyone envies and adores, is about to become a despicable slut condemned by all."

"Excellent," Autumn Shelby said with a slight nod.

Their gazes simultaneously shifted to a spot not far off, where Clara Grant stood surrounded by the Quinn Family, laughing happily.

’Laugh all you want now, Clara Grant. The brighter your smile, the more pathetic your tears will be!’

Chloe Grant silently counted down in her head: three, two, one. She then exchanged a look with Autumn Shelby, and they went their separate ways.

They both knew. The show was about to begin.

"She was in love with a man. In love with him for three whole years..."

The music screeched to a halt, replaced by a woman’s voice echoing through the hall. Everyone froze for a moment before turning their heads, searching for the source of the sound.

Clara Grant, who had been bending over to playfully tease Cherie, straightened up in surprise. ’That voice... Why does it sound so familiar? It’s like...’

Before her thought could fully form, the voice continued to play.

"...That man was Miles Quinn. Clara was in love with Miles Quinn for three years..."

The crowd instantly erupted into an uproar. Clara? Wasn’t that Clara Grant?

My God, Clara Grant is Seth Quinn’s wife—Miles Quinn’s own sister-in-law! For a sister-in-law to be in love with her husband’s younger brother, and for three years?!

Isn’t this a complete disgrace to the family?

The Quinn family patriarch, Theodore Quinn, had just given a speech on family happiness. Was he being so publicly humiliated this quickly?

Theodore Quinn’s brow furrowed. Sienna Hale, on the other hand, stared wide-eyed at Clara Grant, her gaze a mixture of disbelief and fury.

Skylar Hayes had no idea why such a recording was suddenly playing, or if there was any truth to it. More than anything, she was worried for her daughter.

Miles Quinn, one of the parties involved, was even more stunned. ’Clara was in love with me? For three years? How did I never know?’

Heedless of the crowd’s shock, the recording continued to play:

"...By a twist of fate, Clara ended up marrying Miles Quinn’s older brother, Seth Quinn, becoming his sister-in-law. Heh, sounds like a soap opera, doesn’t it?

But that Miles Quinn is no saint, either—he’s a scumbag! A year ago, Clara asked him to meet her at a hotel, planning to confess her feelings..."

As the recording reached this point, Theodore Quinn’s expression darkened. He commanded a nearby servant in a heavy voice, "Go, turn that recording off!"

’Regardless of whether any of this is true, the most important thing is to stop this from escalating.’

The words had barely left his mouth when Seth Quinn, who was standing nearby, suddenly raised a hand. "Don’t turn it off!"

’He wanted to hear the rest. He had to know who that woman from over a year ago really was!’

’That woman... He had secretly searched for her for over a year. Later, he’d even thought she was Sarah Shelby, but now, listening to the recording... could that woman have actually been Clara Grant?’
