Chapter 694: Chapter 691: Sometimes, Fate is Inexpressibly Wonderful

"Yes, it was me." Seth Quinn let go of her and explained, "When you sent that text, Miles happened to be with me. He went to the restroom and didn’t take his phone.

I happened to see the message. I didn’t want him getting mixed up with any unsavory women, so I took it upon myself to delete the text and go meet you myself.

I went to the hotel intending to warn you to stay away from him, but... things took an unexpected turn..."

He didn’t finish, but Clara Grant understood.

She had been so shy back then that she’d turned off the lights in the room, thinking she would be better able to work up the courage to confess to Miles Quinn in the dark.

But she never expected that when "Miles Quinn" walked into the room and she was fumbling her way toward him in the dark, she would accidentally trip and fall right into him.

By the time she realized what was happening, her lips were already sealed tightly by his...

After that, when she sensed he was about to make another move, she panicked. Forgetting all about her confession, she pushed him away with all her might and fled the room.

No wonder Miles Quinn never mentioned a word about it afterward. It turned out the person who’d met her that day wasn’t him at all—it was Seth Quinn.

If only she had worked up the courage to ask Miles Quinn about it, she wouldn’t have brooded over it for so long.

’Still, fate really does work in mysterious ways.’

’Who could have predicted that I would later end up marrying Seth Quinn?’

The others pieced together the truth from their conversation. Although Clara Grant had indeed asked Miles Quinn to meet her, by a twist of fate, the one she’d had an intimate encounter with was actually Seth Quinn.

In that case, there was no longer any talk of disgracing the family’s reputation. After all, there had been no actual physical contact between Clara Grant and Miles Quinn.

"Wow, now that’s what you call true fate, isn’t it? I’m so envious of the wonderful connection they share."

A young lady from some family in the crowd let out an envious sigh, which immediately drew agreement from most of the guests. It seemed that everyone—man or woman, young or old—had once dreamed, or was still dreaming, of sharing such a mysterious and wonderful connection with their own significant other.

Even Sienna Hale, whose eyes had been filled with anger just moments before, relaxed considerably. ’Thank goodness,’ she thought. ’Miles didn’t actually do anything with Clara Grant. Otherwise, I really wouldn’t have been able to face anyone.’

Hearing the crowd’s opinion turn in their favor, Autumn Shelby was so angry she nearly swept the wine glass off the low table beside her.

She couldn’t help but shoot a hateful glare at Chloe Grant. ’That woman is more trouble than she’s worth! She can’t even handle one simple task!’

’What kind of evidence is this? She swore up and down that she’d crush Clara Grant so completely that she’d never recover!’

’And now look! Not only did she fail to take down Clara Grant, she actually helped Seth Quinn and Clara Grant grow closer!’

’What a useless teammate!’

Autumn Shelby was anxious to say something to push Clara Grant back into the eye of the storm, but she knew she couldn’t risk exposing herself at a time like this.

Theodore Quinn glanced at the crowd, taking in their various expressions, and spoke calmly, "Since everything has been cleared up, let this matter be concluded. Everyone, please..."

Before he could finish, Chloe Grant impatiently cut in, "But, Uncle Quinn, even if nothing happened between Clara Grant and Miles, she was the one who proactively asked him out. That’s a fact, isn’t it?

A girl who takes the initiative to ask a man to a place like a hotel, which is bound to give people ideas, can only be described as indecent. What if it really had been Miles who went that day?"

Hearing Chloe Grant speak up, Autumn Shelby breathed a sigh of relief. ’Heh, even a useless teammate can be a godsend sometimes.’

’Still, that Chloe Grant really is an idiot!’

Autumn Shelby sneered and settled in to watch the rest of the show.
