Mr. Grant Treats Me Like a Treasure-Chapter 317 - 316: Finally Admitting Mistakes

Ruth Hale was stunned by this slap.

Zoe Quinn was flustered and covered her cheek while crying out, "Mom!"

Sean Lockwood, who was coming over, heard the commotion inside and rushed in forcefully.

He immediately saw Zoe Quinn crying sorrowfully, and hurried over to ask, "Zoe, what’s wrong?"

"I’m okay."

With Sean Lockwood’s arrival, Zoe Quinn immediately felt reassured. She said she was fine, her eyes filled with tears, looking at him with great grievance.

"Mom didn’t mean to."

With one sentence, Claire Sullivan became the villain.

Sean Lockwood turned his head coldly towards Claire Sullivan, "Zoe sees you as her real mother, how could you hit her so harshly?"

Facing Sean Lockwood’s questioning, Claire Sullivan suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu. She was stunned for a moment before letting out a bitter laugh.

When Serena Sullivan and Zoe Quinn quarreled, wasn’t Zoe Quinn just like this, looking aggrieved and trying to appease, which made her believe Serena was the bully.

Now, with the situation reversed, she became Serena, accused by Zoe Quinn, and all she could feel was the irony.

Damn it, it’s so funny. What exactly had she been doing all these years!

"Sean, mom just misunderstood me. It will be fine once it’s cleared up."

Zoe Quinn spoke softly for Claire Sullivan, which made Sean Lockwood feel even more that Zoe Quinn was sensible.

How could there be such a kind girl! It’s all Anna Morgan and Serena Sullivan causing trouble, along with the video incident, he definitely wouldn’t let it go.

Claire Sullivan couldn’t stand it anymore, couldn’t listen any longer; at this moment, she only felt heartache, a deep heartache.

For herself, for the person she used to be, and for her biological daughter!

It was wrong, everything was wrong.

Her Serena was the most pitiful, the most innocent and wronged one, and what had she, as her mother, done to Serena all these years!

Claire Sullivan walked out of the hospital room with a cold smile, not wanting to hear Zoe Quinn’s crying any longer.

After she left, Sean Lockwood continued to comfort Zoe Quinn.

Zoe Quinn, while sobbing, talked about the incident of her video being broadcasted on TV, which Sean Lockwood also saw when he first arrived.

In the hospital corridor, in every hospital room, throughout the entire Solaria, it was all about this news.

Even though he had threatened those media outlets in the name of The Lockwood Family, they still dared to broadcast it; they clearly had no fear of The Lockwood Family.

He comforted Zoe Quinn, promising to get to the bottom of this incident and assuring her of his belief in her.

Hearing Sean Lockwood’s words, Zoe Quinn finally showed a smile. Ruth Hale said a few more things about how Zoe Quinn was pitiful and wronged, which made Sean Lockwood feel even more heartache.

Zoe Quinn glanced at Ruth Hale, asking her to leave and give her some time alone with Sean Lockwood, and also asked Ruth Hale to call Joel Quinn.

Ruth Hale understood that although Sean Lockwood’s power and capability weren’t as great as Ethan Grant’s, they were not inferior either.

Her Zoe was indeed impressive.

Claire Sullivan left the hospital room, walking quickly down the hospital corridor.

She walked quickly, slowing her steps as she neared Serena Sullivan’s hospital room.

In the past, Serena used to say she didn’t trust her, saying Zoe Quinn was a good actress and harmed her, but Claire Sullivan didn’t believe any of it.

Now that she saw and heard it with her own eyes and ears, Serena didn’t want her as a mother anymore.

Claire Sullivan felt extremely upset at the thought, tears slowly falling. As she approached the room door, her steps became increasingly cautious, afraid of being discovered by the Serena inside.

Once a mother and daughter who relied on each other, they had now become the most estranged people.

All because she, as a mother, was too harsh on her.
