Chapter 245: Chapter 245: Not Buying a House
Howard Lynch did not directly upload the documents to the dark web but instead offered a high reward inside it for a senior scholar who understood the Meridia documents.
A year ago, his father and brother had already had changes in their job titles.
But he hadn’t yet.
If there’s no change this time, his situation in this family will be precarious in the future.
So, no matter what, he must secure the position of president this time.
Even if it requires using some dirty tricks...

July Quinn escorted Joy Quinn to the gate of The Quinn Manor and let her out of the car.
But Joy Quinn clung to the car door, refusing to let go: "Sis, I think I did something to upset you again."
"What do you mean?" July Quinn was unconcerned.
"If I’d just admitted it was me who asked you to pick me up just now, Aunt and Cousin wouldn’t look at you like that. But I was selfish and afraid of being scolded, so I didn’t dare admit it..."
Seeing July Quinn still hadn’t stopped her from speaking, Joy Quinn even prepared to slap herself.
"I’m worthless, being so cowardly that I caused my sister to be talked about like that. People like me shouldn’t exist in this world and will be nailed to a pillar of shame even in death."
Though she was scolding herself, just as she prepared to slap herself, July Quinn stopped her.
"Enough, why are you whining like such a woman?"
Joy Quinn was bewildered: "Sis, how am I like a woman? I am a woman, okay? Or am I not womanly enough, so you’ve always treated me as your younger brother?"
As she said this, Joy Quinn even looked resentfully at her own flat chest...
"More or less." July Quinn was not in the mood today to comfort her.
"If you’re afraid I’ll treat you as a younger brother, you’d better hurry up and improve during the summer break."
Maybe she hit Joy Quinn’s sore spot. After getting out of the car, Joy was even more deflated.
"Then these next two months, I’ll be eating papaya stewed in milk or milk stewed with papaya every day."
July Quinn absent-mindedly encouraged: "Come on, you can do it."
Then she parted ways with Joy Quinn and headed to the primary real estate sales office in Westmarch.
Liam Monroe suddenly returned domestically, and although he hadn’t shown up yet, she needed to prepare in advance and find something for him to do.
She remembered that Liam Monroe’s Western cooking was quite good, so she planned to pick a good location and open a Western restaurant, allowing him to be the chef.
Of course, before entering the store, July Quinn put on a pair of black-rimmed glasses to prevent being recognized by fans.
However, what July Quinn didn’t know was that as soon as she entered the sales hall, she was recognized.
"Miss, hello, are you looking to buy a property? Here we..."
The sales lady Linda greeted her warmly.
July Quinn smiled: "I’m not looking to buy a house."
What she planned to buy was a commercial shop on the street.
But even without knowing July Quinn’s intentions, Linda’s attitude remained warm and gracious.
"No worries, anyone who comes in is a guest. Are you thirsty? I can get you a glass of water."
"Sure, thank you."
"You’re welcome." Linda smiled and turned to go to the water cooler to get water.
At this moment, the senior saleswoman Arthur Lowell came over.
"Linda, is that woman here to buy a house?"
Arthur Lowell glanced at July Quinn, who was scrutinizing the various building models from a distance.
She had noticed July Quinn ever since she got out of the car, even before putting on the black-rimmed glasses.
Not only because of July Quinn’s exceptionally striking appearance but also because July Quinn was her cousin.
Yes, Arthur Lowell was the eldest daughter of Amanda Ford’s sister.
Because her parents were in the countryside, she hadn’t been doing very well in Westmarch.
Even her husband was less than ideal.
But because she was as clever as her aunt Amanda Ford and good with words, she had been doing well in real estate sales, escaping her previous rough situation.
But for this reason too, she shied away from associating with poor relatives, fearing they’d be a burden.
However, with affluent relatives, she’d socialize frequently, thinking there might be benefits.
With relatives like her aunt Amanda Ford’s family, Arthur Lowell often visited with her husband and daughter, even if they didn’t think highly of them.
Due to her frequent visits, Arthur Lowell knew not only that Amanda Ford didn’t like her daughter July Quinn but also that July Quinn was seen as uneducated, had previously given away the chateau Old Master Quinn had given her, and had a strained relationship with The Quinn Family.
Yet regarding the shocking identities about July Quinn recently exposed online, Arthur Lowell wasn’t fond of the internet, so she was entirely ignorant.
So in her eyes, July Quinn’s situation seemed even worse than hers.
At least she could still feed herself with her own hands, but with no education, it would be hard for July Quinn to get by in the future.
Therefore, seeing July Quinn appear in the sales hall, Arthur Lowell instinctively thought she was there to borrow money from her and quickly hid to one side.
Only after Linda had attended to her for a while did she come over to inquire.
"She said she wasn’t."
Arthur Lowell: "..."
She knew it!
A person who squandered her assets would not have the money to buy a house anyway.
