Chapter 461: Chapter 461: Seizing for Oneself
From a young age, the eldest sister was smart and beautiful, well-loved by their parents.
The second sister, although less favored and not well-educated, had a face everyone envied.
Thus, Joy Quinn was the most inconspicuous presence in the family, even though she was good at her studies.
The selective ignorance of her parents forced her to seek warmth and solidarity with July Quinn.
Until one day, she discovered that the second sister wasn’t related by blood, and the eldest sister ended up in jail.
Joy Quinn thought her chance to stand out had arrived.
So she decided to seize the rare opportunity when July Quinn came home for the night, and tampered with her car.
What does it matter if she’s still married to Kyle Keaton?
As long as July Quinn dies, she’d become July’s most cherished sister.
Her brother-in-law would surely give her some assets for July’s sake.
Moreover, at July’s funeral, she would have more contact with her brother-in-law.
One thing leads to another, and who knows, they might end up together.
But Joy Quinn never expected that July Quinn habitually reinforced the airbags in all her cars.
And at the time, Kyle Keaton was the one driving.
So the accident did not cause any substantial harm to July Quinn, but rather helped her see through Joy’s character.
What a loss both in spouse and troops, Amanda Ford was indeed correct.
Yet she refuses to admit her failure, even more unwilling to accept she shares the same vile blood as them.
"Why are you snapping at me?"
Amanda Ford ignored Joy Quinn’s cold reprimand and continued to mutter many things.
Something like having such thoughts is good, but not rushing things, etc.
Something about needing to plead with July Quinn well since she still seems to have sisterly feelings for you, and the like.
Joy Quinn couldn’t take it anymore, and bluntly told Amanda Ford, "I won’t plead for her, and it won’t help even if I did."
"Then what should we do next? If July Quinn really wants to kick us out, we’d be homeless."
"Mom, let’s go to Esteria. I remember you have a few sets of jewelry. If we sell those, we’ll have some money to support ourselves for a while."
"What good is supporting ourselves for a while? Don’t keep thinking about my jewelry."
Amanda Ford had no desire to take those jewelry out, as they were her last financial reserves.
"I still have some connections in Esteria. Besides, I’m just about to start my sophomore year and have been accepted into the Keaton Biological Laboratory. You know what the Keaton Group in Esteria means? It means nearly three-quarters of Aphelion’s wealth! Working there is equivalent to being part of a small elite group in Westmarch."
"And in case I can use my position to become Lord Keaton’s woman, wouldn’t you be able to enjoy the benefits too?"
Listening to this, Amanda Ford began to waver.
"Are the perks at the Keaton Biological Laboratory in Esteria really that good?"
"Yes, they are that good. Once I publish my paper, I’ll be a sought-after figure at the Keaton Biological Laboratory, and the benefits would naturally increase, giving me more opportunities to get closer to Lord Keaton."
As for the content of her paper, it actually was the beauty whitening recipe given by July Quinn earlier.
After consuming it, the effect was indeed startlingly good, prompting her to want to claim the remedy for herself.
And skin color was a major issue troubling the women of Aphelion.
So Joy Quinn is confident that once the paper is published, it would create a shocking effect!
By then, she’d be the savior of women everywhere, a professor researcher battling for whitening products.
Even in Keaton Biological Laboratory, she’d be a cut above the rest!
