Chapter 311: Chapter 311: Why Not Call Off the Wedding?
"From now on, I might just stay in Esteria. My parents and sister will all rely on you to take care of them."
They say the higher you stand, the further you can see.
In the past, Nina Quinn fought fiercely with July Quinn for the Quinn Family inheritance, even resorting to seducing scum like Nathan Jacobs.
But now?
She’s about to marry into the Callahan Family and become part of the high society circle in Esteria.
Once your perspective broadens, you realize how childish you were before.
Oh well, once she transfers the Quinn Family’s assets to her own name, she’ll leave the nominal title of heir to July Quinn.
She thought that making such a generous concession, July Quinn would be grateful.
But July Quinn didn’t even look her in the eye, casually saying, "You’re just getting married, not dying. No need to act like you’re giving your last wishes."
In an instant, the happy smile on Nina Quinn’s face cracked.
Luckily, her status is no longer what it used to be.
You see, as soon as she was at a loss for words from July Quinn, someone immediately leapt out to back her up.
"July Quinn, Nina is just concerned about the family and that’s why she instructed you a bit. Why are you cursing her so maliciously?"
Holly Houston shouted.
Several other female artists joined Holly Houston in criticizing July Quinn.
"July Quinn is so hard to get along with, I don’t know how Nina put up with her all these years?"
"It’s true that good people get bullied. Nina must have been too tolerant all these years, letting July Quinn become so arrogant and domineering."
Only Lynn Sawyer stayed quiet, not joining the crowd against July Quinn.
Indeed, she never dared to confront July Quinn directly.
But she certainly stirred up trouble behind the scenes.
After the crowd had criticized July Quinn over and over, Nina Quinn finally spoke up, "Don’t blame July anymore. It’s all my fault, always giving her problems."
Seemingly defending July Quinn, yet from a moral high ground, she was pinning July down hard.
At her words, everyone looked at Nina Quinn with sympathy.
The female artists took the moral high ground even more, fervently dissing July Quinn.
As if by doing so, once Nina marries into high society and gains power, she’d bring boundless benefits to them.
"Nina is really too kind. If it were me, I’d have fought with July to the death if she dared treat me like this."
"This is the biggest difference between Nina and us. So kind-hearted, she deserves such good fortune, marrying into high society."
Surrounded by admiration, even artists who weren’t on great terms with her before voiced support for Nina against July Quinn. Nina felt she was about to hit the peak of her life.
But to maintain these hard-won superficial friendships, she had to respond with a few insincere words.
"Actually, I’m not as kind as you say, just worried about my family."
Just then, July Quinn’s voice suddenly came.
"If you’re really that worried about your family, why not not get married?"
Nina Quinn turned around and met July Quinn’s misty eyes, hiding a cold gleam.
A sense of crisis rapidly developed at that moment.
Instinct told Nina Quinn there was more to July’s words.
But things between her and Justin Callahan were already set in stone. What could July do, even with envy or bitterness?
Regaining her composure, the ever-majestic Nina Quinn continued her pretentiousness.
"July, it’s not about whether I want to marry or not; it’s Master Callahan who insists on marrying me. I’m afraid I have no choice."
"Even if he insists on marrying you, I have ways to make him voluntarily call off the engagement."
July Quinn’s lips curled with a distant, cold arc, her shimmering eyes staring straight at Nina Quinn. "Want to give it a try?"
