Chapter 711: Chapter 708: Happiness Is Not Something Gained Through Scheming and Unscrupulous Means

Seeing this, Seth Quinn reached out to pull Clara Grant into his arms to protect her, but she gently pushed him away. She calmly looked back at Chloe, meeting her gaze.

’She wasn’t afraid of Chloe Grant. She wouldn’t let her cause her the slightest bit of harm!’

"Clara Grant, why? Why you? I spent so much time and effort, I used so many tricks, but I still couldn’t get the happiness I wanted. And yet you... you got it. Oh, but don’t you get too pleased with yourself. When that man gets here, your true colors will be exposed. Your happiness will soon turn into a bubble and vanish into thin air."

In contrast to Chloe Grant, Clara Grant’s expression was perfectly calm. She looked at her coolly and said, "Then I’m afraid I’ll have to disappoint you. I’m an open book. I have no ’true colors’ to expose. So, I’m not afraid of anyone who might show up."

With that, she raised an eyebrow and added, "And let me give you a little reminder: happiness isn’t something you can obtain just by scheming and stopping at nothing. In fact, happiness is afraid of people who scheme and stop at nothing, because those kinds of people definitely don’t understand what happiness even is."

"So, if something is meant to be yours, it will come to you sooner or later, as long as your heart is sincere. If it’s not meant to be yours, you can’t get it even if you try to snatch it away."

Cedric Grant gave Chloe Grant another hard tug. "Let’s go! Haven’t you made enough of a scene?!"

He was very strong, and Chloe stumbled forward as he dragged her along, all the while struggling desperately and looking back over her shoulder.

When her gaze landed on Autumn Shelby, it was as if she were grasping at a final straw. "Autumn, save me! Help me... Autumn..."

Autumn Shelby was so furious she could have coughed up blood. She gritted her teeth and squeezed her eyes shut. ’That idiot, Chloe Grant!’

’Is she trying to make sure everyone finds out about our connection? Or is she just not willing to go down alone and wants to drag me down with her?’

’That useless fool is more trouble than she’s worth. I must have been blind to ever work with her!’

’Of all the schemes she cooked up, did a single one have any solid proof?’

’She claimed she had proof that Clara Grant was seducing Miles Quinn, but all she did in the end was help Clara and Seth Quinn.’

’She claimed Clara had a child with another man, but the photos ended up being of Sierra Sutton and her baby!’

’And now, even Clara Grant’s supposedly lowly origins have turned out to be fake...’

’Not only can she not do a single thing right, but now she wants to drag me down and ruin me too?’

’If someone asks about it, what am I supposed to say?’

Sure enough, Sienna Hale immediately turned to Autumn Shelby and asked, "Autumn, was that Chloe Grant calling out to you just now? She called you Autumn? Do you two know each other well?"

Her tone was full of suspicion.

"How could that be? Aunt Sienna, there’s no way we know each other well. You must have misunderstood." Autumn Shelby hurriedly walked to her side and explained,

"I’ve only crossed paths with her a few times by chance. I had no idea she was so quick to get familiar with people. We’ve barely met, and she’s already calling me Autumn. Honestly!"

As she spoke, she shot a disdainful glance toward the doorway where Chloe had disappeared, as if to show her contempt for even knowing someone like her.

"Is that so?" Sienna Hale glanced at her, clearly still skeptical. After a moment’s thought, she asked, half-jokingly, "This whole incident today... you didn’t plan it with her, did you?"

"H-how is that possible? Aunt Sienna, please don’t joke like that." Autumn Shelby’s heart leaped into her throat, but she forced herself to appear calm on the surface.

Sienna Hale was about to say more, but her attention was drawn away by a pitiful little voice.
