Chapter 711: Chapter 711: Every Single One is a Thespian

His words left everyone stunned.

"Wh-what?"

"The case was already cleared up 56 days ago???"

"No way!"

"Then why didn’t the investigation team release a statement?"

The crowd was utterly bewildered. Then, someone remembered that two staff members from the investigation team were present.

Everyone immediately started searching for the two individuals. But the venue was packed—not just with paparazzi, but also with other media outlets and online news bloggers—making it impossible to spot them in the crowd.

Claire Sinclair was just as dumbfounded as she listened to her husband.

She was the one at the center of it all, yet she hadn’t even known her name was cleared. No wonder the reporters couldn’t swallow this outcome.

Just then, two men in suits pushed through the crowd and stood before Adrian Quincy.

One of them spoke with a solemn expression, "Everyone, I’m a staff member from the team investigating the Miss Sinclair embezzlement case. The matter was clarified 56 days ago. The 100 million in funds was mistakenly transferred into Miss Sinclair’s account by a bank employee and has no connection to her personally. The reason the truth wasn’t made public was at Mr. Quincy’s request. As for the specific details, I’ll let Mr. Quincy explain."

With that, the two of them stepped back in perfect sync.

Adrian Quincy then explained, "Two months ago, we received confidential intelligence that someone was plotting to assassinate Claire. To prevent the culprit from succeeding, I deliberately allowed you all into Evergreen Garden to help my security team watch over her. I appreciate all your hard work these past two months. Thank you."

With that, Adrian Quincy gave the crowd a formal nod of gratitude.

The crowd was a sea of baffled faces.

They had staked out Evergreen Garden for two months, only to find out they were helping Young Master Quincy protect his wife???

’So infuriating! But what could they do? They couldn’t just throw a fit.’

Faced with Adrian Quincy’s shameless method of protecting his wife, the reporters were furious but dared not say a word.

However, some quick-thinking reporters spotted a new headline and quickly asked, "Young Master Quincy, who was it that wanted to assassinate Miss Sinclair? Are you revealing the truth now because the culprit has been caught?"

Adrian Quincy nodded. "That’s right. The culprit has been identified. A public announcement will be made at a later date."

The reporter glanced at the weak-looking Claire Sinclair in his arms and asked, "What’s wrong with Miss Sinclair?"

Adrian Quincy gave a slight nod. He glanced down at his wife, whose eyelids were half-lowered, and his tone softened. "She had an allergic reaction from sneaking some crayfish. It’s my fault."

Claire Sinclair: ’I had an allergic reaction from sneaking crayfish??? Since when???’

The crowd: "..." They’d been blindsided by a dose of PDA.

"Everyone, Claire needs to get home and rest. Please make way," Adrian Quincy said, his patience clearly running out.

The crowd quickly parted to let them through.

Adrian Quincy carried his wife out and got into a private car that was waiting for them outside.

-

Once they were in the car, Claire Sinclair immediately sat up. She tilted her head, staring at The Great Demon King Quincy’s handsome, expressionless face with a peculiar look. Then, her brow furrowed.

"What’s wrong?" Adrian Quincy asked.

Claire Sinclair muttered, "I’ve realized you people from Quincy Manor are all brilliant actors. Every single one of you is a born performer."

Adrian Quincy said with perfect justification, "It’s merely a little trick to divert attention. You should learn a thing or two."

"No way. I don’t want to become a cynical old hand like you guys."

"I’m a cynical old hand?" Adrian Quincy raised an eyebrow.

"Er..." Claire Sinclair paused, not understanding what she’d said to displease him. ’Could it be the word ’old’?’

"No, you’re not old at all! You’re always handsome!"

"Claire, just wait until after the baby is born. We’ll settle this then."

"..." ’Scary!’
