A Night of Desire

Chapter 234 - 231: Gone on a Date with an Old Flame

Of course, Clara Grant had no idea that Seth Quinn once had a fiancée, so Chloe Grant’s words left her stunned for a moment.

Chloe Grant took in her reaction and sneered. "Heh, so Seth Quinn really never told you he had a fiancée. I guess that means he doesn’t think much of you, does he? He couldn’t even be honest with you about something that important."

Cedric Grant, who was standing nearby, couldn’t stop himself from scolding Chloe Grant again. "Chloe, what nonsense are you spouting?!"

As he spoke, he tried to forcibly drag her away. Even though they hadn’t achieved their goal for this visit, he couldn’t let Chloe say another word to Clara Grant.

After all, ever since Seth Quinn and Autumn Shelby, the eldest daughter of the Shelby family, had broken off their engagement, no one in Novaria dared to bring up the past. In Seth Quinn’s presence, even Autumn Shelby’s name had become taboo.

As for why the two had suddenly broken off their engagement when everything seemed fine, some people had once gossiped about it in private. But immediately afterward, those very gossipers met with disaster, vanishing from Novaria’s high society overnight.

Everyone knew without a doubt that it was Seth Quinn’s doing. In Novaria, no family was more powerful than the Quinn family, and no man was more formidable than Seth Quinn.

So, afterward, everyone feared getting burned, and no one dared to speculate or gossip about it again.

And now, Chloe Grant had just blurted it all out—and to Seth Quinn’s current woman, no less.

If Clara Grant went and told Seth Quinn, the Grant Family would be finished.

But Chloe Grant was blinded by rage. She wasn’t thinking about the consequences; all she wanted was to crush Clara Grant. She violently shook off Cedric Grant’s grip and sneered at Clara,

"And another thing—I heard Seth Quinn was deeply in love with that woman back then. He probably still hasn’t gotten over her. It’s the middle of the night, and Seth Quinn just left you here all alone. Maybe it’s because his ex-fiancée is back, and he’s gone off to meet his old flame.

What do you think will happen if they get back together? Where will that leave you, Clara Grant? You’ll be nothing but trash he’s cast aside."

As she spoke, Chloe Grant actually began to laugh. The bright red handprint on her cheek made her smile look grotesque.

"So, Clara Grant, let’s see how much longer you can act so smug!"

’In reality, she had no idea if that woman was back or not, but she had to say it. She just had to piss Clara Grant off. She just couldn’t stand to see her happy!’

Clara Grant appeared calm on the surface, but inside, a storm was raging.

’It was true. Seth Quinn had never mentioned that he once had a fiancée, so she knew nothing. She never knew that he, too, had a woman he couldn’t forget. And she certainly never knew that this house was originally bought for that woman he loved.’

’Since he had someone else in his heart, what right did he have to be so bitter about her loving another man?’

’They were already married. It might be a loveless marriage, but it was a marriage all the same. And they say the most fundamental principle of marriage is mutual honesty.’

’She had been wrong not to be honest with him, but he hadn’t told her either, had he? So what right did he have to be angry with her? To treat her so viciously?’

Clara Grant suddenly felt a wave of sadness. She and Seth Quinn were married. She wasn’t sure if he understood her at all, but she knew that she understood very little about him—the man who was supposed to be her other half, the person closest to her in the world.

Her hands, hanging at her sides, slowly clenched into fists.
