Chapter 120

The bamboo grove was very quiet. Apart from the rustling of the wind through the leaves, everything was clear and audible

Cecilia’s face changed instantly. “Who’s there? Come out she shouted sharply.

A few moments later, a small figure stepped out from behind a dense cluster of bamboo.

“It’s you?” Cecilia recognized Quinlyn, who had made the Dragon Wall that morning and embarrassed her. She frowned in disgust. “I suggest you stay out of this. Try to interfere, and I’ll blast you on social media–even a rich girl like you can get totally canceled.”

“Oh, really?” Quinlyn looked up at her with a calm demeanor. “Then if I share this video, your life will become quite eventful too.”

She pulled out her phone and showed the screen, which contained the entire conversation from when Cecilia appeared to when she threatened Raymond.

“You’ve been secretly filming me all along!” Cecilia exclaimed in shock.

“Just in case, Quinlyn said as she put her phone away slowly. Then she glanced at Raymond. “Add me. I’ll send you the video.

When Mandy woke up, she noticed that Quinlyn was still sleeping. Feeling playful, she tried to tickle Quinlyn’s nose. But just as she reached halfway, Quinton caught her hand.

He shook his head at her, signaling her not to be naughty. He had just seen Quinlyn return from the bamboo grove and she had only been asleep for a short while.

With her initial plan foiled, Mandy ran back to Raymond. “Mr. Flynn, I still want to be on your team this afternoon.”

“Okay,” Raymond replied somewhat distractedly. He couldn’t help but glance at the luxurious sun umbrella nearby. Quinlyn hadn’t woken up yet, and he couldn’t figure out why she had given him the video.

With no other option, he decided to confess everything to his manager before filming started.
