Chapter 327: Chapter 327: No One But Her
Early in the morning, July Quinn was awakened by a call from Vivian Lynn.
"July, you’re trending again. That thing... do you know about it?"
Vivian’s tone carried an odd mix of concern and pity.
But July Quinn, not fully awake, didn’t notice this.
"What am I trending for?"
She had completed over two hundred tasks last night, earning quite a bit of money.
At three in the morning, she finally got into bed.
At eight, she was woken up by Vivian, and her eyes were still struggling to fully open.
"Is it again about ’Competition Dance’? It’s fine, once they air the final episode, I’ll make them pay for slandering me."
July just wanted to deal with Vivian quickly and go back to sleep.
Little did she know, Vivian told her, "No, this time it’s not because of ’Competition Dance’."
"Then is it something Nina Quinn and Justin Callahan did again?"
"No, none of those! It’s that your background has been exposed."
"My background?"
That eye of July, which hadn’t fully opened, suddenly became wide open.
"What about my background?"
She seemed unaware that her voice had a slight tremble.
"You have no blood relation to Charles Quinn."
With a "boom".
July felt as if all the strength had been instantly drained from her body.
Even her phone fell from her hand...
Besides her grandfather, her parents had always treated her poorly; July was well aware.
She’s smart and had vaguely suspected as much.
She just resisted this outcome in her heart.
If she isn’t a child of the Quinn Family, then who is she?
At that moment, the bedroom door was knocked on.
The knocking was anxious, one after another.
July wanted to open the door, but she couldn’t move.
The person outside seemed impatient and started kicking the door.
Soon, the door was kicked open.
A man in a suit, looking gallant, had only anxiety between his brows.
"July, are you okay."
Kyle Keaton quickly walked in.
He had actually gone to the office early and was even in a meeting room.
But Miles Jacobs, always on the frontline of the latest gossip, informed him of July’s background being exposed and asked if he knew about it.
Kyle certainly didn’t know.
Previously, he noticed the Quinn Family’s poor treatment of July and had his suspicions, even considering helping her do a DNA test.
But at that moment, July’s eyes welled up with tears, asking who she would belong to if not them, her pitiful look made him abandon the investigation idea.
But in the end, this matter was used by someone else!
He could imagine with his toes how devastating this news was for July!
So at that moment, he disregarded the ongoing meeting, left the company directly, and sped back to the small place he shared with July.
Seeing July with reddened eyes, curled up on the bed, so helpless and desperate, it felt like a piece of his heart was viciously torn away.
Yet it seemed she didn’t want him to see her so weak and helpless, so she forced a smile, holding back her tears.
"I really seem not to be their child."
Her voice was hoarse, barely sounding like her own.
The tears that seemed on the verge of falling struck Kyle to his core.
In that instant, he realized that he couldn’t live without her.
Also, he never again wanted to see her cry. He had to stay by her side, to make those who harmed her pay dearly.
So he could no longer control himself; he stepped forward and embraced the woman tightly in his arms.
