Chapter 693: Chapter 690: Thank Goodness, It Was Really Her

Listening to Adam Warren’s pleas on the other end, Theodore Quinn glanced at Skylar Hayes, who had nearly collapsed. After a moment’s hesitation, he spoke into his phone, "Bring him to the Quinn Residence now... Yes, you heard me right. To the Quinn family estate. Be quick!"

With that, he hung up.

’Judging by Adam Warren’s tone, he wasn’t lying. If he could tell everyone the truth about what happened back then, right now, then Skylar and Clara’s names would be cleared. They wouldn’t have to face the crowd’s malicious gossip and judgment anymore.’

Meanwhile, seeing her mother’s pale face, Clara Grant grew furious. Her mother was her biggest concern, and her greatest fear was that others would learn about the humiliation she had once suffered.

Yet Chloe Grant had brought it up again in public, this time in front of so many people. How could Clara not be furious!

"Chloe Grant, you’ve gone too far! Say what you want about me, but why are you dragging my mom into this?" With that, she scanned the crowd before continuing.

"You all want to know if that recording is real, don’t you? Fine, I’ll tell you! That’s right, I’m the woman who was in love with Miles Quinn for three years! I’m also the one who asked him to a hotel back then!"

But I don’t think there was anything wrong with me liking him back then! What’s wrong with loving someone? Have any of you ladies here never had someone you loved?

I only asked him out to confess my feelings. And while we had some intimate contact, we never crossed the line. Besides, I had no idea back then that I would end up marrying his older brother, Seth Quinn.

When I met Seth, I didn’t know he was Miles’s brother, either. So it’s not like I went after the older brother because I failed to seduce the younger one!"

Sarah Shelby couldn’t stop her in time. She could only tug anxiously at her hand and whisper, "Clara, are you crazy? Why would you admit to that? You should have just blamed it all on me. I don’t care anyway. If the Strattons kick me out over this, I’ll finally be free."

Her voice was too quiet for others to hear, but Seth Quinn, who was standing right beside Clara, heard every word.

He reached out and grabbed Clara’s arms, turning her to face him. His eyes glittered as he stared into hers.

He felt his heart pounding in his chest, and his voice trembled with emotion.

"A year ago... at The Reyton Hotel, Room 1808... that person was really you, wasn’t it?"

Clara was startled by his sudden actions and words. Stunned, she subconsciously asked, "You... how did you know...?"

But before she could finish, Seth pulled her into his arms. "So it was you. It was really you! Clara, do you have any idea? For a long time after that day, every time I met a woman I didn’t know, I would wonder, ’Could she be the one?’

"I couldn’t stop myself from trying to catch their scent, hoping I’d find yours among them."

Clara’s eyes widened in disbelief. "That day... the man in the room... that was you?"

’But Sarah had sent the text to Miles. How did Seth end up being the one who came to meet me?’ ℯℯ𝘭.

Her confused question was all the confirmation Seth needed.

’So it really, truly was her!’

’Thank God. Thank God it was her.’
