Chapter 701: Chapter 701: More People, More Momentum (Part 1)
Raina: "..."
Raina realized she was wrong.
She was really too silly.
To think she believed anything sensible could come out of Quinn’s mouth.
Elias Hawthorne said calmly, "Though Quinn’s idea is devious, it’s not a bad plan."
"No way." Raina refused without hesitation. Although she had accepted Elias from the bottom of her heart, there was still something she couldn’t let go of.
Suddenly, Elias held Raina’s hand, "Don’t worry, we’ll find Bobby one day." Quinn chimed in, "Oh right, you still have Bobby. And if there’s another one on the way, that makes five kids. In a year or so, once the fifth kid is born, when all the kids stand together, there’s strength in numbers, and maybe Corvus Hades will back down, right?"
"Get lost!" Raina snapped irritably, "Don’t tell me all you people can do is talk about the fourth and fifth kids."
Quinn perked up, "Everyone says so, which proves my point is right. Besides, doing this not only solves our current dilemma, but it also responds to the national call. Isn’t that great?"
Raina chuckled, "What right do you, a single guy, have to say that?"
Quinn couldn’t hold back and said, "Sis-in-law, if you’re upset, you can hit me, but you can’t call me a single guy. Anya and I are legitimately married."
Hearing Quinn mention Anya, Raina couldn’t resist retorting, but just as she was about to speak, she heard a ding; a message had come through.
Raina instinctively picked up her phone to look.
Then she was stunned.
Quinn noticed Raina’s sudden change of expression and couldn’t help asking, "Sis-in-law, what’s wrong? What happened?"
Saying this, he craned his neck to look at Raina’s phone.
Elias also noticed Raina’s unusual behavior and looked at her with concern, "Raina?"
Raina was extremely anxious, and without caring to explain, she just said, "Stop the car and let me off by the roadside."
"What happened?"
"It’s urgent. Elias, I have something urgent to handle."
Elias immediately said, "I’ll go with you, so at least I can be of help."
"No need." Raina took a deep breath, turned to look at Elias and said, "Don’t worry, it’s fine, I’ll be back soon."
The car had already stopped by this point, and Raina, not wasting a second, opened the car door and left quickly, her figure filled with unprecedented urgency and panic.
Elias turned his head and looked through the car window as Raina’s figure disappeared into the crowd, a dark light flashing in his deep eyes.
Quinn couldn’t help but say, "What was that about? This is the first time I’ve seen sis-in-law so flustered. Usually, it’s others she leaves feeling this way."
Elias looked over, "What did the text message say?"
"Boss, how did you know I knew?" Quinn grinned, "So you caught me sneaking a look. Did you suddenly realize how clever I am?"
Quinn had a face begging for praise.
Elias replied coldly, "Speak."
Quinn’s expression immediately dropped, and he said, aggrieved, "Actually, I didn’t see too clearly, only caught ’tonight waiting for you’ and a skull emoji."
Elias’s expression suddenly changed, and the atmosphere around him immediately grew heavy.
Quinn shuddered, hastily saying, "Boss, you don’t need to worry too much. Although sis-in-law may get bored easily and kind of loves widely, I believe she has you in her heart. I mean, even Emperor Hades failed to seduce her, right? So all those fleeting attractions out there don’t even catch her eye."
