Chapter 426: Chapter 426: Beaten for No Reason
"This medicine is reserved for the first heir of The Monroe Family, so you better keep it yourself."
July Quinn wanted to say something, but Liam Monroe spoke first, "July Quinn, you should know that your life is more important than mine!"
Because she had already grasped the essence of The Monroe Family’s medical skills, she had to take on the responsibility of carrying them forward.
Moreover, there was their personal connection...
"I’ll just keep it for now."
July Quinn ultimately put the bottle of Nine Flower Jade Dew Pill back into her bag.
But she secretly resolved not to use this medicine on herself.
After discussing the pills with Liam Monroe, July Quinn shared the good news that she had found her biological mother’s whereabouts and informed him that after cleaning up The Hale Family’s affairs for The Monroe Family, she would be setting out to help her mother.
Liam Monroe, upon hearing this, immediately said, "I’ll go with you when the time comes."
Since July Quinn began studying medicine at the Monroe Family, the two had been practically inseparable.
Almost everywhere July Quinn went, Liam Monroe would follow.
So July Quinn was not surprised by Liam Monroe’s request and agreed to it directly.
Going to an unfamiliar place, having Liam Monroe with her made her feel much more at ease.

After finishing all her plans for the day, July Quinn returned to the small apartment, only to find Susan Carter there, staring down Kyle Keaton.
The atmosphere was a bit tense, but July Quinn was not the least bit flustered, even teasing them.
"Oh, are father and son looking eye to eye?"
Upon hearing her, the two, who were busy glaring at each other, both looked at her.
Kyle Keaton was the first to bellow, "July Quinn, he clogged the downstairs apartment’s plumbing, and now all the furniture is soaking in water."
"I didn’t do it on purpose. Besides, it’s just some cheap furniture, not worth much."
After all, Susan Carter, being a mercenary leader, had seen much better things.
So he had a low opinion of that over a hundred square apartment downstairs and its shabby furniture.
But as soon as he finished speaking, a crisp and clear slap sounded by his ear.
"Smack!"
Not only was Susan Carter dumbfounded, even Kyle Keaton seemed shocked by July Quinn’s actions.
"July Quinn! Why are you hitting me, I haven’t broken any promise and gone out!"
Susan Carter was nearly losing it.
Why does he, a mercenary leader, keep getting slapped?
But the response he got was another crisp slap.
Susan Carter: "..."
Something seemed off with how things were developing.
Why was he always the one getting hit?
He opened his mouth, wanting to say something else.
In the end, July Quinn gave him a series of slaps.
After a dozen rounds, Susan Carter’s face was so swollen that it hardly looked like him.
This time, he didn’t even dare to speak.
Who knows if he’d end up getting beaten again for no reason!
"No manners! How many times have I told you, you can’t just call my name as you please, are you just ignoring me?"
"And next time I catch you talking back to your other dad, see how I deal with you."
The other dad, Kyle Keaton: "..."
Honestly, he didn’t want to acknowledge this son who seemed older than him.
But July Quinn completely disregarded their feelings, directly ordering, "Go to the kitchen and cook three steaks and prepare three servings of instant noodles."
After the beating, Susan Carter was still in a daze, only realizing after a while that July Quinn was speaking to him.
Immediately, he looked at July Quinn incredulously and asked, "You want me to cook steaks?"
He, a mercenary leader, is being asked by July Quinn to cook steaks?
If word of this got out, how could he face anyone in the future?
