Chapter 244: Chapter 244: Personal Choice
"Aunt, this is my second sister. You definitely haven’t seen such a beauty before, so I specially called her over."
After greeting July Quinn, Joy Quinn ran over to Victoria Quinn, affectionately curling her arm and whining.
When July Quinn looked at her puzzled, the little girl cheekily winked at July, hinting not to let the aunt know she had someone bring her away.
July Quinn couldn’t handle her and had to greet Victoria Quinn.
"Hello, Aunt."
Victoria Quinn nodded, polite yet distant.
Her eyes scanned July Quinn up and down.
"Looks quite nice."
But aside from her appearance, there was nothing else worth praising.
Unlike her son and husband, whenever people mentioned the three of them, it was always full of admiration.
After introducing her aunt, Joy Quinn quickly ran to the young man’s side.
"Sister, this is our cousin Howard Lynch, a senior executive at our domestic Meridia Language Association."
July Quinn took a look at this young man.
White shirt, black pants, very refined, looking quite decent but obviously arrogant.
However, since they were family, July Quinn just greeted him directly: "Hello, cousin."
The arrogant young man sneered coldly: "I heard you barely recognize a few words? Then why not spend more effort studying instead of always doing those flashy things?"
Before meeting July Quinn, Howard Lynch had heard about her.
She is the least educated among their relatives.
Howard Lynch is fond of studying and dislikes those who refuse to spend time on it.
July Quinn didn’t expect just to pick up Joy Quinn, but instead got criticized, her expression instantly turned cold.
"What flashy things have I done?"
"Haven’t you done enough flashy things? At such a young age, instead of doing something else, you insist on joining the entertainment industry?"
July Quinn, unfazed, retorted: "That’s a personal choice. Just like how you don’t study other things but chose Meridia language."
"How can entering the entertainment industry compare to choosing Meridia language? Do you know where Meridia is? Do you know how profound their culture is?"
In Howard Lynch’s mind, although Meridia is a small country, its superior geographical environment and unique auction venues have commercial value.
More importantly, Meridia’s ancient myths and legends are cultural treasures.
In short, Meridia’s language is quite sacred.
So after graduating from university, he has been devoted to studying Meridia’s language.
He didn’t expect July Quinn to equate such sacred research with her dirty entertainment industry life.
"Meridia is just a small country, I have a pretty good relationship with the King."
July Quinn still wanted to say her diamond mine sales channels are in Meridia.
Because the annual profits are significant, the King of Meridia personally met her, calling her "Brother July."
But thinking about it, there was no point in wasting breath telling Howard Lynch as he wouldn’t believe it.
As expected, Howard Lynch sneered immediately.
"You, living in the countryside, can know the King of Meridia? What an international joke, if you knew the King, then I would be the King’s relative!"
Howard Lynch felt despised by July Quinn, his tone became even more sarcastic.
"Joy, look closely, if you don’t study more, you’ll be just like her, boasting absurdly without culture."
"Cousin, I won’t let you talk about my sister like that." Joy Quinn became annoyed too.
Howard Lynch didn’t expect Joy to stand by July’s side, he was momentarily stunned: "I’m just doing it for your good."
"For my good by insulting my sister? I don’t believe you!"
Joy Quinn swore and immediately grabbed July’s hand, looking at Victoria Quinn.
"Aunt, if our cousin doesn’t welcome my sister, it’s like he doesn’t welcome me. In that case, there’s no need for me to stay here."
Without giving Victoria a chance to persuade, Joy yanked July and turned to leave.
"A dog that bites Lü Dongbin, doesn’t recognize a good person."
Howard Lynch, fuming, kept swearing as they walked away in the distance.
But Victoria said, "Alright, it’s good that they’re gone. Now just focus on your Meridia literature research, wasn’t there talk about an upcoming re-election for your association’s president? During this time, just concentrate on your research to secure the presidency."
"Yes..."
Howard Lynch furiously took one last glance at the retreating figures of Joy and July in the park, then returned to the table to continue flipping through the documents in his hand.
But there were too many obscure terms in these documents, without being a native of Meridia, it was impossible to understand these terms.
Even searching online yielded no information.
If things continued like this, he was bound to lose the Meridia Language Association’s presidency election.
After careful consideration, Howard Lynch pulled out his laptop, logged onto the darknet...
