Chapter 140
Clara pushed Dylan's wheelchair back to the car, neither of them paying any mind
to Nate, who was left for the bodyguards to deal with. The bodyguards, having been around Palm Beach for quite
stime, couldn't help but gossip.
"Did you hear? The boss said he got spooked?"
"Yeah... and he leaned on her."
"Uh-huh..."
They exchanged puzzled looks, trying to figure it out, and vented their frustration by giving Nate a swift kick.
Back at Palm Beach, Clara was immediately attended to by the family doctor, who was ready to bandage her
wounds. Meanwhile, Dylan held her other hand firmly. She wanted to ask if he'd forgotten to let go, but she
always felt a bit intimidated around Dylan-partly because of his condition and partly because she didn't know the
full truth about the past.
Dylan was genuinely a good guy and did not hold any grudges against her. She promised herself to be his
personal sleeping pill from now on!
Once the doctor finished, he quickly left, feeling out of place. Clara then remembered the recording she'd sent
Dylan and wondered if he had listened to it.

"Mr. Dylan, what about that recording..."
"I've sent it out."
She had no clue who he sent it to. Feeling a bit drained, Clara leaned back, yawning as she said, "Alright, I'll
handle it after a nap."
When Clara woke up, she finally realized the full impact of Dylan's calm "sent it out." The recording had hit the
headlines and was trending everywhere. Dr. Gribble's voice had been carefully edited, but Quinn's wasn't
touched.
"| want everyone to believe she caused my miscarriage, so lenda bag of blood first."
"Make sure to delete the surveillance footage. | want her left with no way to defend herself, and the stairs are
perfect for it. You'll announce that | lost the baby."
"Hah, everyone will despise her. She's always been a spiteful woman, and she deserves this!"
Dr. Gribble's hesitant voice also played, "Are you sure about this, Miss Quinn? She is your sister after all..."
"I never considered her my sister. Her existence only hinders me. | must use this to push her out of the Bradford
family. This isn't your concern; just do as | say!"
Meanwhile, the trending title was [The Scheming Heiress: How Miss Bradford Framed Her Sister.]
Thanks to Eden, everyone believed Clara had pushed Quinn down the stairs, causing her miscarriage. Now, with
this news and Quinn's nglaringly exposed, gossip spread like wildfire.
Unaware of the storm brewing, Quinn had been brought hthat day. She was feeling down, and the entire
Bradford family walked on eggshells around her. Simon was obliged to stay by her side.
"Simon, why so distracted? Are you upset about the baby too?" she asked, leaning weakly against Simon's chest.
Simon was actually worried about Clara, but with Quinn clinging to him all afternoon, he hadn't had a chance to
investigate. Other family members were there too, with Ryan being the first to offer comfort.
"Quinn, there'll be other kids. Clara's been punished, so don't talk about jumping again. We're all worried about
you."
Naomi peeled fruit for her. "Yes, you gavea fright today, Quinn. Don't bottle things up; we're here for you."
Quinn felt both touched and smug, finally having Ryan on her side. Her mom had even set Nate on Clara, who
was likely humiliated now. How perfect!
Quinn would have a beautiful wedding with Simon and get a chance to meet Dylan at the Ferguson family home.
Though she couldn't admit it, she was quite taken with Dylan. Everyone showered her with comfort, and she
basked in the attention.
Until Simon checked his phone, his face turning ashen. Quinn assumed he'd heard about Clara's disgrace and
quickly feigned concern.

"What's wrong, Simon? Did something happen to my sister?"
Simon seemed paralyzed, unable to move. Others grew worried too.
"Simon, what's wrong? Why do you look so upset?"
Simon clutched his phone, the message from a friend revealing the recording, now trending. His friend even
joked about the Bradford sisters being quite the pair.
Simon, always concerned with appearances, was mortified to be the subject of ridicule. He recalled Clara's
tearful plea at the hospital. She complained about how everyone believed Quinn's act. His mind was reeling as
he pushed Quinn away, nearly knocking her over.
Tears welled in her eyes. "Simon, what are you doing? That hurt!"
Simon took a deep breath. "Quinn, | need to ask again. Were you really pregnant?"
Quinn's heart skipped a beat, fearing Simon knew the truth. 'Impossible,' she thought. Dr. Gribble wasn't at the
hospital today, and she'd kept Simon close, leaving him no tto investigate. She quickly summoned tears.
"Simon, what do you mean? Are you doubtingbecause of my sister's accusations?"
Her tears triggered disapproval from the others. Naomi quickly helped Quinn up, giving Simon a disapproving
look.
"Simon, just say what you mean. She's just had a miscarriage and is still very weak."
Ryan chimed in, "Yeah, Quinn's been sick all day. It's been hard to watch."
