Simon''s grip on his phone was as tight as a vice. He felt absolutely dreadful. Taking a deep breath, he snapped, "Just check the news yourselves! The recording of Quinn and the doctor is all over the inte. Do you know how many people areughing at me right now? They say I''m being yed for a fool by a crafty woman!"
He turned on his heel, ready to storm off. Quinn had never seen him this upset before; he''d always kept his cool around her. Panicked, she rushed after him, fumbling with her phone.
"Simon, what news are you talking about? I honestly have no idea," she pleaded.
As soon as he yed the recording, her face went pale with shock. Naomi and Ryan stood there, equally stunned.
Quinn''s eyes were wide with panic, and she quickly retorted, "This recording is so fake. Someone''s setting me up. It must be ra framing me, boo hoo."
Naomi believed her without question. Quinn sounded cruel and harsh in the recording. It was nothing like the gentle soul she knew.
Simon remained rooted to the spot, watching her cry, feeling strangely annoyed. In the past, a single tear from Quinn would make him melt, but now her tears seemed so forced.
How was she producing so many tears, and why didn''t ra get all weepy like this?
He turned to leave, but Quinn swiftly grabbed his sleeve.
"Simon, I swear, this recording is bogus. With the tech we have today, anyone can mimic my voice. It''s really not me. I swear on everything, if it is, let lightning strike me!"
Simon''s brows knit together, his mind a whirlwind. "I need to go home and think. Take care of yourself."
Quinn''s tears flowed again, her eyes puffy and red. Naomi wrapped her in aforting hug and sighed, "I really don''t know who could''ve faked this recording."
Quinn sobbed, wiping her eyes, "Who else could it be? It has to be my sister. She''s getting back at us for sending her to the asylum. Mom, if everyone thinks I''m the one in the recording, how can I ever show my face again?"
Indeed, if her social circle believed it, how could she ever marry into the Ferguson family? Naomi grew anxious too. If ra did this, they had to find her and get her to clear it up.
"Quinn, don''t worry. I''ll go find ra."
Quinn was in a frenzy. Her and Simon''s wedding was just around the corner. If this messed everything up, all her hard work over the years would be for nothing! No, she had to track ra down and make her admit she faked the recording. Quinn''s confidence came from ra''s past kindness. She always handed Quinn the best of everything. Quinn had always seen it as ra showing off, so she yed the victim.
As time went on, the nicer ra was, the more people thought she was up to something. Quinn took a deep breath. She couldn''t fight ra anymore. She needed to patch things up with her and figure out another n.
Then she thought of Colton and quickly called him, pouring out her frustrations.
"That''s seriously not my voice. I have no clue how this happened. If no one believes me, am I done for?"
