Chapter 1377 - 1416: The Tomb-Sweeping Festival Conversation

Yes, there is still plenty of time in the future. Kyle Kinston held the person in his arms even tighter. He wanted to give her more and more love, more and more goodness, so she wouldn’t regret giving him this chance to start over.

On the way back to the Quinn Family, Mabel Quinn suddenly said, "Next week is the Tomb-Sweeping Festival. Will you join the Quinn Family’s ancestral rites then?"

"If you think I can be there on such an occasion, then I will come," Kyle Kinston replied.

"Since I asked, of course, you can come," Mabel Quinn said. "But you used to return to Falling City to pay respects to your parents during the Tomb-Sweeping Festival, right? The Quinn Family’s rites last only for half a day in the morning. Can we go to Falling City to visit your parents afterward?"

This was her first time participating in the Quinn Family ancestral rites after reuniting with her father, who placed great importance on it. So she had to attend the Quinn Family’s rituals.

But at the same time, she hoped to visit his parents together on the day of the festival itself.

"Alright," Kyle Kinston said with a gentle smile.

He took Mabel Quinn’s hand, his gaze falling on her smooth yet bare hand...

The filming with the crew continued. Clarissa Bella was dismissed from the crew and appeared briefly in gossip news, but ultimately didn’t make much of a splash. Her role in the drama was only that of the third female lead, so finding a replacement actress was easy.

However, after the incident with Clarissa Bella, Mabel Quinn clearly felt a change in the way people looked at her. There seemed to be a hint of reverence, a hint of caution in their eyes. Perhaps in others’ minds, she also became someone not to be casually spoken to or offended.

Mabel Quinn shrugged, accepting this change with ease. When she decided to start anew with Kyle Kinston, she was already mentally prepared for this.

Sometimes when you gain something, you are destined to lose something else.

And when Alessia Quinn heard about the incident with Clarissa Bella, she was quite surprised. The ambiguous relationship between Atlas Shaw and Mabel Quinn was her trump card. She planned to use it to corner Mabel, but Clarissa Bella had already spilled the beans, yet Kyle Kinston’s attitude was one of complete trust in Mabel.

But... is trust really that simple?

Clarissa Bella only uttered a few words without any substantial evidence. Meanwhile, Alessia Quinn flipped through some videos she had gathered. These videos were what she found in G City, including several community surveillance videos from near Mabel’s residence. In them, a person with a build similar to Atlas Shaw’s frequently entered and exited Mabel’s residence, sometimes staying until very late.

Such facts, combined with the photos she took last time, would undoubtedly provoke suspicion, and besides that, she had numerous instances of evidence showing Mabel and Atlas frequenting the same places, not to mention interactions between Atlas and Mabel’s daughter, Katherine Quinn.

One claim might not stir much trouble, but once these things accumulated, it could easily arouse suspicion in others.

By then, widespread rumors might make Kyle Kinston doubt Mabel, regardless of how much he trusted her. Moreover, she also planned to give Mabel another "gift"...
