Chapter 426: Leaving with Nothing
Hugh Carson trembled with rage. This bitch was still putting on an act. He roared, "You’re not a virgin! You’re a homewrecker who ruins other people’s relationships! There’s nothing I hate more than a shameless vixen like you. We’re getting a divorce! Get the hell out of my house, and don’t even think about taking a single cent from me!"
Hearing that last word, "divorce," Jasmine Sinclair was utterly stunned.
’How does he know all this?’
"Hugh, I don’t understand what you’re saying. Did someone tell you something to slander me?"
Hugh Carson never imagined this woman’s acting skills were so convincing. No wonder he’d been kept in the dark for so long. ’Looking back, I must have been blind.’
He picked up his phone and opened a video that had automatically been saved.
At first, Jasmine Sinclair wondered what it was, but when she saw the video’s contents, her face instantly turned ashen.
’When was this video taken?’
’I always thought what happened between me and Logan Linden could never be exposed. The place I went for the abortion was just a small, obscure clinic!’
’It’s over. I’m finished.’

For spreading false information, the entertainment reporter Bro Judd had his Weibo account permanently banned by the platform.
Claire Sinclair never did get an apology from Melanie Sinclair, but things were still within her control—
Hugh Carson divorced his wife with incredible speed. He then took to Weibo to publicly accuse her of several transgressions: faking her virginity to trick him into marriage, falsifying her identity and educational background, being lazy and gluttonous throughout their marriage, spending his money extravagantly, and spreading rumors to slander Claire Sinclair.
In the end, Jasmine Sinclair was left with nothing, unable to get a single cent of the Carson family’s money.
On top of that, Jasmine Sinclair was detained for three days for spreading rumors online. Awaiting her next were the Carson family’s charges of marriage fraud.
Through it all, Claire Sinclair never said a single word to clear her name. But from Hugh Carson’s divorce announcement, netizens could see that Jasmine Sinclair had been the one pulling the strings all along.
A woman’s jealousy can be a terrifying thing. Some use it to become stronger, while others are so blinded by it that they make catastrophic mistakes, ultimately losing everything...
Afterward, Claire Sinclair posted a reflective message on Weibo: "Thank you to everyone who has ever hurt me for helping me grow up fast. I am no longer the weak, defenseless little girl I once was. Remember my name: I am the journalist, Claire Sinclair."
In any case, the matter was settled for the time being.
After several days of coordination, the date for Adrian Quincy’s speech at Meridia University was finally set. Claire Sinclair was also ready for her trip abroad; all her travel documents had been processed.
The night before their departure, Adrian Quincy took Claire Sinclair down to the basement of Quincy Manor—the Network Security Bureau.
Never in her wildest dreams would Claire Sinclair have imagined that something so elaborate was hidden beneath Quincy Manor.
Adrian Quincy first showed her several 2D maps, then switched to a 3D display, telling her to memorize the layouts and the locations marked with red dots.
Finally, Adrian Quincy laid out his meticulous plan. In truth, her direct involvement was minimal. He had her memorize the maps and the red dots simply so that if she ran into danger abroad, she could escape more quickly or find a nearby police officer for help.
Claire had her objections after hearing the plan, but kept them to herself. ’He’s already finalized it, and everyone else has their assignments. I can’t possibly ask him to change it now. I’ll just have to accept it.’
’Oh well. What can I do? The man just can’t bear to let me put myself in harm’s way abroad...’
With all preparations complete, Claire Sinclair finally got her wish and boarded a certain someone’s private jet. Next stop: Meridia.
