Chapter 666: Deal
"Wendy Lynch," Mrs. Quinn’s face changed, and she angrily grabbed Wendy’s arm. "Say that again.""I’ll say it again, what’s the big deal? I thought you were my aunt, but I didn’t expect you to do such despicable things. If my cousin knew about this, who knows how he would react."
Wendy Lynch was deliberate; she intentionally wanted to provoke Mrs. Quinn.
"No, no, Wendy, your cousin absolutely cannot know about this, definitely not. Consider it as a plea from your aunt, please help me just this once, would you?"
"Aunt, look at what you’re saying. Even though Sila has been trying to pull me to her side, I naturally know we’re closer. But right now, there’s nothing I can do, right?"
Mrs. Quinn’s eyes sparkled as she stared into Wendy’s eyes. "Wendy, since she wants to draw you over, it means she trusts you the most. Could you help your aunt get that video? As long as you help me get that video, whatever you want, I will ask your cousin to give it to you."
Wendy Lynch pretended to look troubled. "But Aunt, Sila’s press conference is about to start. How can I get it out temporarily?"
Seeing that Wendy was on her side, Mrs. Quinn breathed a sigh of relief. "Wendy, I know you’ve always been the cleverest. There must be a way, right? Please help your aunt."
...
At the banquet, Melody Thorne greeted quite a few people, many of whom were those in the entertainment circle trying to curry favor with Quinn Corporation. They pretended to know her, but in fact, Melody Thorne didn’t know them at all.
"What’s wrong? Are you bored?" Jared Quinn held a wine glass in one hand and gently stroked her hair with the other large hand.
"No," Melody’s gaze fell on Sila and Rochelle Thorne. As long as Rochelle was around, Sila wouldn’t even glance at her, leaving her no opportunity to prove herself.
"Cousin, Aunt needs you to step outside. She’s waiting for you; it seems urgent," Wendy hurriedly came in from outside.
"Can you wait for me here a bit?" Jared released Melody from his large hand.
"Alright, if it’s something urgent with Mom, you can also leave first," Melody said.
"No need, it won’t be anything major. Just wait here for me, I’ll be right back," he said, then whispered in her ear, "Don’t wander off, alright?"
"Got it"
Jared put down the wine glass and walked outside with satisfaction.
Wendy watched as Jared left, clenching her hands tightly. In his suit, he looked noble and detached. The further he walked, the more her heart pounded uncontrollably.
Once Jared’s figure disappeared from the banquet hall, Wendy turned around and met Melody’s scrutinizing gaze. "Sis... Sister-in-law."
Melody clearly caught Wendy’s previous panicked and fixated gaze on Jared, which was definitely not the way a sister looked at a brother.
"Sister-in-law," Wendy avoided her gaze. "I suddenly remembered Sila calling me for something, I’ll just go say hello."
She hurried off,
Melody’s intuition told her that Wendy was not as simple as she seemed, especially with her infatuated gaze at Jared.
"Caleb, help me investigate about Wendy Lynch."
When Caleb received her message, he was in a meeting. Seeing the contents of the text, he faintly curved his lips. Outside, he was the CEO of the Ai Corporation, but inside, he was her private attendant.
