A Night of Desire-Chapter 88: The Two of Them Are Biological Brothers?

A sudden panic gripped Seth Quinn. ’Was the choice I gave her too difficult? Did I put her in an impossible position?’

He had just told Rowan Linden with utter indifference that it didn’t matter if she hated him. He would stop at nothing to get what he wanted.

And yet now, her tears were actually causing his resolve to crack.

...

Clara Grant ran into the bathroom and leaned against the closed door. Her heart was still pounding erratically. THUMP-THUMP. She reached up to touch her face and was surprised to find it burning hot.

She walked over to the sink, turned on the faucet, and splashed a handful of cold water onto her face.

Once her face felt cooler, Clara Grant turned off the faucet.

Looking up at her reflection in the mirror, she felt a surge of irritation. ’What is wrong with me? That beast actually kissed me again. Shouldn’t I have slapped him?’

’Why did I just stammer out a question and run away? And I even said it without an ounce of conviction!’

’And what’s with this constant blushing and my racing heart?’

’Right. The reason I didn’t slap him was that I was afraid of waking Cherie. And the blushing and racing heart are because I’m angry.’

’That has to be it!’

Having found an excuse for her strange behavior and reactions, Clara Grant let out a deep breath and finally calmed down.

Once she had calmed down, her thoughts turned to the problem of Cherie’s medical bills.

Before, when she still thought she was Cedric Grant’s biological daughter, she would have tried asking for his help, even if there was only a one percent chance he would agree.

But now, even that one percent hope was shattered.

’What about Seth Quinn? He’s right outside. If I go out there now and tell him I agree to marry him, he’ll definitely provide the money.’

’No, no. I can’t bring myself to do it.’

’Deep down, she knew the truth was that she simply hadn’t given up on Miles Quinn yet!’ 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

’Right, there’s still Sarah! Sarah’s father has never been stingy with her when it comes to money. Even if she doesn’t have the full amount, she must have some, right?’

Thinking of Sarah, Clara Grant quickly grabbed her phone. Afraid Sarah might be in class, she decided not to call and sent a message instead:

Sarah, I need to borrow some money. How much do you have?

Clara Grant didn’t beat around the bush. She typed the message, getting straight to the point, and sent it.

Sarah Shelby replied quickly. Clara Grant hurriedly opened the message to read it.

Ugh, I got into an argument with my old man yesterday, so he cut off my allowance. But I still have more than enough to lend you. I’ve got 100,000 on my card. Take it, it’s all yours.

After reading the message, Clara Grant felt her spirits sink. Of course, everything had to happen at once.

One hundred thousand was only a tenth of the initial costs. It was nowhere near enough to solve her immediate crisis.

While Clara Grant was still feeling dejected, another message came in from Sarah Shelby. This one was a bit longer:

But, Clara, have you really decided not to act in *A Lifetime of Splendor*? Even if it’s just a small supporting role, the pay would be more than enough for you to get by without borrowing money.

Besides, you probably don’t know this yet, but the male lead in *A Lifetime of Splendor* is Miles Quinn! That tells you this show is going to have a massive impact. Otherwise, Miles Quinn might not have landed the part.

Who’s the president of Aegis Pictures? His older brother, of course! They’re keeping it in the family. So, if you take the part, it will definitely give your acting career a great start.

Clara Grant felt nothing reading the first few parts of the message, until she got to the very last line.

To be precise, it was the line about the president of Aegis Pictures being Miles Quinn’s older brother that made her mouth fall open in surprise.

’The president of Aegis Pictures is Seth Quinn. So, is Sarah saying that Seth Quinn is Miles Quinn’s older brother? They’re biological brothers?’
