Theodore Quinn's and Sienna Hale's eyes were both fixed on Clara Grant. Seeing her silence, Sienna grew anxious. "You... say something!"
Clara Grant glanced at her, then lowered her gaze. 'No, I can't say it!'
'It's not that I don't dare, it's that I can't!'
She wasn't afraid of her true parentage being exposed and earning the Quinn family's disdain; she was worried about her mother.
Her mother had always seen that incident as the stain and shame of her entire life. If it were all laid bare like this, how would her mother ever face the world?
Seeing her hang her head in silence, the onlookers' expressions were a study in contrasts. Chloe Grant was smug, Autumn Shelby was disdainful, Sienna Hale was tense, and Theodore Quinn's face was unreadable.
Seth Quinn, however, felt his chest tighten. He looked up at Mrs. Cheney. "Mrs. Cheney, please have someone escort the uninvited guests out."
