Chapter 508: Chapter 508: A Common Failing Among Women
"How do I look in this outfit?"
July Quinn kicked Susan Carter, who was engrossed in watching the soap opera "Country Love" on her phone.
Since coming to this country, Susan had gradually adjusted to the lifestyle here and had even begun to indulge in watching "Country Love" all afternoon while lazing on the couch.
Immersing herself in the rustic love story, Susan felt that her past mercenary life full of danger and excitement had become so distant.
Susan lazily lifted her head and glanced at July.
The young girl was wearing a tailored mermaid gown in royal blue, exuding an aura of noble mystery, her beauty indescribable.
If it weren’t for seeing her with his own eyes, Susan might have doubted, like others, whether this soul-stirring beauty actually existed in this world.
Having experienced the girl’s bewitching presence and tasted her fists before,
Susan’s awe at her careful dress-up today was fleeting, soon replaced by indifference: "It’s alright."
"Does it not look good? Or is it too plain?"
Not receiving Susan’s admiration, July skeptically scrutinized herself in the mirror, looking from different angles.
"Should I change into the red one?"
"Isn’t it all the same? Is it necessary to waste time like this?"
Just like many husbands, Susan complained.
Except his complaints were about his... father.
Yes, his father was ruthless in fights but shared the typical woman’s trait.
Every time they were preparing to go somewhere, his father would agonize over a whole pile of clothes and ask Susan’s opinion after putting one on.
Susan seemed to have truly forgotten his father’s unconventional traits while whining about this typical woman’s trait.
No sooner had he imbued his tone with a trace of complaint, his father’s gaze instantly grew colder: "Why, do you have a problem?"
That chilling stare scared Susan, nearly causing him to drop the phone still playing "Country Love."
"No... how could I dare have a problem?"
He did not want to mysteriously receive another beating.
Yet it seemed his father was not buying his words, as he grabbed Susan by the collar:
"But you just said all the changing is the same! No need to waste time."
The cold words and cold demeanor made it feel as though a punch could land at any moment.
Susan, frightened, immediately switched to flattery.
"Well, what I meant was that others need clothes to boost themselves, but you, Dad, boost the clothes instead. So no matter what you wear, you’ll definitely look stunning. No need to agonize over what to wear!"
Though those words were flattery, they were indeed Susan’s genuine thoughts.
It’s inadequate to describe July’s beauty with words like enchanting, alluring, ethereal – even wearing a sack, she could outshine those meticulously dressed women.
July could naturally detect the flattery in Susan’s words, but they pleased her, so she chose not to fuss further.
Releasing Susan’s collar, July leisurely adorned herself with a complete set of diamond jewelry.
Susan, who had been a mercenary leader, well-traveled and experienced,
could instantly recognize that the diamond pieces July wore were unquestionably authentic, boasting high purity and carat weight, suitable for collection—few would dare wear such a complete set, fearing it might invite calamity.
Yet July wore the entire set and felt it wasn’t enough, even adding a large diamond headband on top.
Seemingly wanting to tell the whole world she was wealthy.
This left Susan puzzled: "Dad, where are we heading tonight?"
"Business negotiation." July picked up her bag, blinked charmingly.
