Quinn kept on saying.
“The inspection was just to make sure there were no stored images, never to look at anyone’s private content, please understand. After the inspection, I will apologize to everyone.”
In his gentle but firm manner, the guests, although looking displeased, didn’t dare to openly oppose.
Quinn personally went through everyone’s phone albums quickly.
Patrick suddenly pulled him aside and whispered.
“Just be okay, all your elders are here, don’t go too far.”
At that moment, someone was muttering weirdly, which caught the attention of the father and son.
“I hadn’t even become the head of the family yet, and I was already so arrogant.”
But Quinn remained unmoved, with a cold look in his eyes.
“It’s about the Shillingford family’s reputation, I can’t turn a blind eye.”
After everyone checked, Quinn apologized again.
“Sorry for the delay today, guys. Let’s continue and have fun.”
As soon as the words fell, Kaylen suddenly spoke.
“Quinn, come here.”

She sat in the main seat, her face as dark as frost.
Quinn stepped forward quickly, Kaylen looked at him, and got straight to the point.
“Go check it out, where did those dirty things come from? And how did they get mixed into the birthday banquet?”
She looked at Cecelia and her tone suddenly turned harsh.
“This birthday party was organized by you, with such a big oversight, how do you explain?”
Cecelia’s face turned pale in an instant, and she stuttered, unable to speak.
Andrea stood on the side, full of surprise in her heart.
In the few times they met, Kaylen always showed a lot of respect for Cecelia.
She always thought, Cecelia was the highest–ranking woman in the Shillingford family, besides Kaylen.
Now Kaylen was scolding mercilessly in front of so many younger generations.
At this point, Quinn spoke up, sounding determined.
“Grandma, don’t worry. I will definitely get to the bottom of this. Whoever dares to mess with the Shillingford family at the party, I won’t let them off the hook.”
In the corner, Gracelyn shivered in fear as she listened to his cold tone.
Kaylen nodded approvingly.

“Good, you really have the courage, the way you handle things, more and more like Rafael’s style.”
Andrea was absent–minded, her fingertips trembling slightly.
Only she knew, the protagonist of that “dirty business” was herself.
She forced herself to stay calm, stood frozen in place, nails digging deep into her palms.
Until Quinn came back to her, gently holding her cold hand.
“Come back to the yard with me.”
He took off his suit jacket and draped it over her shoulders, covering her slightly trembling body.
The two of them returned to the yard.
“Andie, you sit first.”
When Quinn let go, she almost stumbled and fell into the sofa.
The man turned around and poured a glass of warm water, then pushed the glass in front of her.
“Have a drink of water first.”
Andrea was a mess.
The flickering light and damp breath in the video, at this moment, have turned into countless tiny needles, poking into the heart.
“Quinn, can those videos really be deleted completely?”
She heard her hoarse voice, “If someone had already…”
“Don’t worry, I will investigate thoroughly.”

Quinn bent down, staring at her deeply.
“Those things that can’t see the light, not a second will leak out.”
The warm breath brushed against her cold earlobes.
“Trust me.”
Andrea looked up and bumped into his eyes as dark as night.
“Okay.”
She finally reached out and grabbed the water cup, feeling the warm temperature spreading through her palm.
“I believe you.”
