Chapter 725
“Miss Quinn, please stop knocking. Mr. Lance is tired and wants to rest for a bit. You should head back for now.
Since we still have some time, why don’t you go rest as well p>
Zachary stepped in to stop Seraphina.
“How can he sleep at a time like this? You better wake him up to get ready. It’s almost time p>
“No, no. You should head back. Mr. Lance has a terrible temper when he’s woken up. If he doesn’t get enough sleep, we staff are the ones who suffer.
Please, have some mercy on us p>
“Alright then. Just don’t let him sleep for too long p>
Seraphina figured that Lawrence was probably just exhausted from juggling work and preparing for the engagement over the past few days.
“Of course, of course p>
As soon as Seraphina walked away, Zachary urgently knocked on the door to warn his boss. “Boss, Boss, she’s gone. Hurry up p>
Zachary wanted to use this brief window to sneak Quinn out.
But just as he unlocked the door, Seraphina came marching back.
“Is Lawrence awake p>
She pushed the door open excitedly, only to freeze when she saw Lawrence and Quinn hurriedly straightening their clothes. The deep wrinkles in their garments were
a glaring sign of the indecent acts that had just taken place.
“What are you two doing?
Weren’t you resting? What, she was sleeping with you p>
Seraphina exploded in anger, tears welling up in her eyes as she glared pitifully at Lawrence.
“Seraphina, don’t misunderstand. Lawrence was resting, and when I he
up, his clothes got wrinkled. We were just straightening them out p>
“Get out! Don’t let me ever see your face again p>
Seraphina wasn’t easily fooled.

“You really misunderstood. It’s all my fault. It’s my fault for making you think that p>
Quinn forced tears out immediately. She was a professional actress, and her acting skills were leagues beyond Seraphina’s.
“If you’re upset, I’ll leave right now. Just… just please don’t blame Lawrence.
He’s… he’s innocent in all of this p>
She sobbed dramatically.
“Just go. Don’t let Seraphina misunderstand any further p>
Lawrence always knew his priorities. A lover was just a lover, and he needed to give
his future wife face. He understood that better than anyone.
Quinn wiped her tears and turned to leave.
“Ah p>
As she turned, she somehow managed to twist her ankle.
Lawrence instinctively reached out and caught her falling body.
But he snapped back to reality almost instantly, let go of her, and barked coldly, “Get out p>
Looking like a terrified rabbit, Quinn

She finally limped her way out of the room, sobbing the entire time.
She was naturally slender and

and pitiful. Even Zachary felt his heartache for her as he watched her leave.
But the moment she stepped out the door, a triumphant smile curved on her lips.
She had won. Quinn Montgomery had succeeded. Her future was secured.
As for Lawrence giving her the cold shoulder and kicking her out just now? It didn’t matter.
In the early stages of being a mistress, swallowing your pride and playing the victim when necessary was simply part of the game.
After all, she was carrying on her family’s legacy.
No matter what she did, rushing the process and being overly eager for quick results would ruin everything.
Her family background was leagues behind the Quinns.
Lawrence needed the Quinns’ political and financial backing.
If she dared to defy him now, she would absolutely be the one to perish.
Back inside the styling room, the moment Quinn left, Lawrence pulled Seraphina into a tight embrace.
“Baby, I’m so sorry you had to deal with that.
She’s my cousin. She offered to help, and I didn’t know how to say no.
Ugh, it’s all my fault. I never should have let her stay in here.
Don’t worry, it won’t happen again. I swear I’ll never let her help me with anything ever again p>
“Did you… did you two really not do anything p>
Seraphina was half-skeptical.
“Of course not! What could I possibly do with her?
We’re blood relatives. We’re cousins p>
Spoken like a true veteran of the dating scene. Just a few words, and he had
entirely erased Seraphina’s doubts.
The young girl was finally completely at ease.
“Then… you better be careful around her from now on. I don’t think she has good intentions p>
“As you command, my wife p>
“Who’s your wife p>
Seraphina blushed deeply. Seeing her flush ignited Lawrence’s
