Chapter 243: Chapter 243: Drinking Her Blood
"We haven’t even bought trending topics, yet the popularity is already like this. If we did, the show would definitely be a hit before it aired."
But secretly, Holly Houston was more impressed by July Quinn’s popularity.
Just posting a casual video related to her made the popularity soar instantly.
Even the so-called hip-hop prince Silas Donovan couldn’t match her popularity.
Thus, Holly Houston was even more proud of her current work.
"Riding on July Quinn, sucking the blood off her. But July Quinn took the money and signed a confidentiality agreement, so she can’t do anything about us!"
After she spoke, she hugged Nina Quinn’s shoulder and smiled as if affectionately:
"How about it? Did I help you vent your anger?"
Nina Quinn smiled mockingly to herself.
Did Nina Quinn really not know the conflict between her and July Quinn?
Saying she helped vent her anger was actually just Holly Houston venting her own anger.
However, Nina Quinn still smiled and responded, "Hmm, thanks. It feels great to watch!"
No matter what, watching July Quinn get frustrated and unable to speak made her feel sweeter than eating honey.

As for what was happening online, July Quinn was temporarily unaware.
Because just now, she received a call for help from Joy Quinn.
[Sis, mom and dad sent me to aunt’s house, what should I do?]
July Quinn initially didn’t think much of it.
[What’s there at aunt’s house, they can’t eat you.]
But Joy Quinn was almost crying in desperation.
[Though they can’t eat me, if I stay here until the end of summer vacation, I’ll go crazy.]
July Quinn remembered, aunt Victoria Quinn married into Lynch Manor, a famous noble family in Westmarch, that is also an academic household.
However, since July Quinn rarely stayed in the country, she seldom had the chance to interact with Victoria Quinn, naturally making her unclear about what Lynch Manor had that could drive Joy Quinn crazy.
[Just two months, you won’t go crazy. When you come out, I’ll pick you up and take you out for a feast.]
In the past, to persuade Joy Quinn, a feast was all it took.
If necessary, then two.
But just as July Quinn sent the message, Joy Quinn’s call came in.
July Quinn had just connected the call when she heard her heartcry.
"Sis, don’t you love me anymore? I’m at Lynch Manor, being forced to learn all these strange things; I won’t be myself in the future."
"What are they forcing you to learn?"
What strange things could cause a child to cry?
"Aunt’s two sons, one studies Meridia’s language, one researches spacecraft, and uncle studies ancient tombs."
July Quinn: "..."
No wonder it’s called an academic household!
Joy Quinn continued to cry: "You tell me, as someone destined to be a hacker, what can I learn from them?"
"Then just explain to mom and dad that you don’t need that knowledge, right?"
"I’ve told them, but they just won’t listen. They think I stay at home, always sticking to you like a shadow..."
By the last part, Joy Quinn’s voice dropped practically inaudibly.
But July Quinn still heard it.
Momentarily, her expression dulled considerably.
Did they really dislike July Quinn that much?
To the point that they’d rather send the youngest sister far away just for playing with her a bit?
"Sis... are you still listening?"
Joy Quinn, not receiving her response for a long time, timidly asked.
"I am."
"Are you angry?"
"No."
"Really not angry?"
"If I got angry at their little antics, I wouldn’t have lived to this age."
Charles Quinn and Amanda Ford had done worse things than this.
"Then could you come rescue me?"
July Quinn hesitated for a few seconds: "Send me Lynch Manor’s address."
About half an hour later, July Quinn appeared in front of the bamboo grove at Lynch Manor’s gate.
July Quinn rang the doorbell, and a servant came to open the door.
After July Quinn informed them of her identity, the servant said, "Follow me inside."
No warmth, no courtesy, not to mention a lack of respect.
However, July Quinn didn’t mind, since she wasn’t planning to stay long anyway.
Following the servant along the stone path for quite a while, July Quinn was eventually led to a small pavilion.
In the pavilion, aside from Joy Quinn, there was a noblewoman and a young man.
"Sis, I’m here! Come quickly!"
At this moment, Joy Quinn first noticed her, bouncing cheerily to greet her.
