CHAPTER 56: CHAPTER 56: EAT SOME MORE

Quinn Lockwood happily handed her another one, "These are all healthy, good for the intestines, you should eat more."

People around also gave Quinn Lockwood thumbs up, saying there’s nothing food can’t resolve, and indeed, everyone’s impression of Quinn got better.

Ariana Lynch watched the scene of the people around laughing with Quinn, and couldn’t help the wave of disgust and jealousy in her eyes.

"Ariana, do you want one? It’s really good."

Ariana Lynch’s assistant took two cakes from Quinn and handed one to Ariana while eating.

"Get lost." Ariana was already angry, couldn’t help but curse, and gave her assistant a fierce glare.

The little assistant was at a loss after being scolded, and could only pout pitifully.

However, looking at the cake in the assistant’s hand, Ariana suddenly came up with an idea.

"Give it to me." She took the cake from the assistant’s hand and took a big bite.

The assistant looked confused, wasn’t she just saying she wouldn’t eat it and so angry, how did she change her face so quickly, but before she could react, Ariana’s groaning of pain was heard.

"Oh, it hurts, my stomach."

The assistant looked over towards the sound and saw Ariana clutching her stomach with both hands, groaning in pain on the chair.

She immediately put down the cake in her own hand, squatted beside Ariana, and asked anxiously, "Ariana, are you okay?"

"My stomach, it hurts so much, it’s killing me." Ariana wailed, giving the assistant a look.

Normally, when an artist has such a situation and there’s a team member nearby, it’s not suitable to make a fuss to avoid media making a big deal out of it, but now Ariana’s voice was loud as if she wished everyone to hear.

"Someone, help!" The assistant, understanding Ariana’s look, immediately acted flustered and shouted.

Upon hearing this, everyone rushed over, and Quinn Lockwood put down what she was holding and ran over without a second thought.

"What’s going on?" Quinn pointed at Ariana, who was squatting in pain on the ground, and asked the assistant.

"I... I don’t know, Ariana just suddenly became like this." The assistant shook her head in a panic.

Quinn frowned, feeling complicated. Due to the hatred from her past life against Ariana, she felt Ariana deserved this, it was punishment. But now they were on set, if she remained silent, it would ruin the good image she had managed to recover.

"Ariana, are you okay?" The small actors around crowded over, eagerly concerned about Ariana.

"Oh, my stomach hurts so much~" Ariana kept wailing.

"What’s going on, how did this happen suddenly?"

The crowd was flustered, not knowing what to do, and no one dared to step forward, fearing they’d make Ariana’s condition worse.

After all, Ariana is not only the leading actress of this crew but also the daughter of the Lockwood Group; they can’t afford to offend her, and if anything happens, it’ll be hard to explain.

"Call 120."

Quinn instinctively said softly, after all, she was kind enough to overcome that hurdle in her heart.

"Yes, hurry and call 120." The people around then realized, they had all been scared silly just now.

Ariana, hearing she’d go to the hospital, suddenly tensed up. She glanced at Quinn and slowly said, "I got a stomach ache after eating Savannah’s cake, it seems like food poisoning."

Upon hearing this, everyone was puzzled.

Quinn found it hilarious, looking at Ariana’s rosy face, suddenly realizing she was faking it.

"You say I deliberately harmed you, what evidence do you have?" Quin calmly said, remaining composed, not doing anything guilty so she wasn’t afraid of the truth.

She was no longer the previous weak Quinn. It wouldn’t be that easy for Ariana to bully her again.

"I had a stomach ache after eating your cake, you must have drugged it."

Ariana’s words shocked everyone, for she had always been seen as humble and polite, unlikely to deliberately frame someone, but they also suspected Quinn of deliberately harming someone.

"Then why are they fine after eating it, and only you have an issue." Quinn said calmly, serenely watching Ariana act in front of her.

"Yeah, I was wondering too, why only do I have a problem, you must have deliberately poisoned only me."

By pure coincidence, Quinn inadvertently gave Ariana a perfect opportunity to play on words.

But at this moment, Quinn only wanted to laugh, only poisoning her, she wasn’t that stupid to harm her so openly.

Besides, the cakes were distributed randomly, could she have marked the cakes, wouldn’t that be painfully obvious?

Ariana, even if you want to frame me, please find a more credible reason.

"I..."

"Why would she want to poison you?" Just as Quinn was about to refute, Dylan Quinn stepped forward and silently shielded her behind him, starting to argue with Ariana.

Seeing even Dylan helping Quinn, evil thoughts filled Ariana’s eyes, why could she win people over in such a short time?

"How would I know, you should ask her."

Ariana spoke without sufficient confidence, clearly feeling guilty.

"You..."

Quinn, angry at seeing Ariana’s smirk, was about to expose her, but Dylan pulled her back.

He shook his head at Quinn, not wanting to escalate the issue, as it wouldn’t benefit Quinn.

This scene was just noticed by Elias Sinclair, who was instructed by Cameron Grant to check on Quinn. The sight of Dylan protecting Quinn made him feel something was off.

This woman, was she bringing shame to The Sinclair Family again?

"What’s going on?"

Elias Sinclair frowned, walking over to inquire, seemingly indifferent, but his eyes were fixed on Quinn.

People around were instantly suppressed by Elias Sinclair’s aura, gradually quieting down.

Quinn noticed the gaze, pointing at Ariana and matter-of-factly explained, "She said she got food poisoning from eating my cake."

"Oh?" Elias Sinclair raised an eyebrow, looking at Ariana.

Seeing Elias Sinclair watching her, Ariana’s eyes lit up, thinking this was a good chance to suppress Quinn, and after all, Elias Sinclair didn’t already disdain Quinn.

"Mr. Sinclair, my stomach hurts so much, I don’t know what’s going on, it’s just after eating Savannah’s cake that I ended up like this."

Ariana said while clutching her stomach, pretending to be in unbearable pain.

Although she wasn’t outright accusing Quinn in front of everyone like before, the implication that Quinn harmed her was clear, just phrased more tactfully.

Elias Sinclair frowned, the previous Savannah Lowell doing such things wouldn’t have been surprising, but now the current Quinn made him instinctively feel she didn’t do it.
