Chapter 430: Chapter 430: Reaping the Benefits?
However, despite her inner complaints, Nina Quinn still maintained a helpless look on her face.
"Joy, Mom and Dad and our sister hope you can plead with July, asking her not to take these things back. Mom and Dad are so old now, they really can’t handle it..."
Nina Quinn cried out in desperation.
But before she could finish her sentence, Joy Quinn interrupted her.
"Sis, you’re overthinking it. Even if our second sister takes back the industry, she won’t just ignore our existence."
Nina Quinn almost couldn’t maintain her tearful, pitiful demeanor: "..."
She seriously doubted whether Joy Quinn was even related to her by blood.
Otherwise, how could such a smart person have such a foolish sister?
"But people’s hearts are unpredictable, especially since we’ve treated her so poorly before. She probably wishes we would all meet a bad end now."
"Well, if that’s the case, pleading with our second sister won’t help."
"You’re different. You have a better relationship with July, and she might listen to you."
"No, I don’t dare to talk about these things with our second sister."
"Joy Quinn, are you even a member of the Quinn Family? Now that our family is facing such a big crisis, each of us, Mom and Dad, is trying to do something for the family, and what about you?"
The more Nina Quinn spoke, the angrier she became. At one point, she picked up a book from Joy Quinn’s desk and threw it on the ground. "You’re at home every day, memorizing these dead books, waiting for us to regain the industry so you can enjoy it, isn’t that right?!"
"Sis, don’t project your own thoughts onto others, alright?" Joy Quinn hurried to intervene when her beloved book was thrown to the ground.
With her intervention, Nina Quinn indeed stopped throwing books, but the harsh words continued.
"We’re all foxes with a millennium of cultivation, and you’re playing ’Liaozhai’ with me."
"I really never thought like that, I..."
Joy Quinn was still trying hard to defend herself.
But as she was speaking, she suddenly felt a wave of dizziness.
"Sis, my head is so dizzy."
She tried to grab Nina Quinn’s hand, but instead, Nina pinned her down on the bed.
"Dizziness is just what it should be."
Joy Quinn realized something immediately: "Sis, what did you put in that fruit jelly?"
"Don’t worry, it won’t be fatal, just a little sleeping stuff. Since you refused to plead with July, I had no choice but to do this."
"You..." Seeing Nina Quinn taking out the rope she’d prepared and tying it around her wrists, Joy Quinn wanted to say something.
But before she could speak, she succumbed to another wave of dizziness and fell asleep.
And Nina Quinn smiled, quickening her movements.

Soon, it was the following afternoon.
When Elder Cole called, July Quinn had already set off as scheduled with Susan Carter, ready to head to Gala Entertainment Tower to sign the contract for the transfer.
"July, have you set off yet?"
"Already on the way. Is something the matter, Grandpa Cole?"
July Quinn was holding the steering wheel.
In the backseat, Susan Carter was holding a piece of wire, eager to try.
Well, he still refused to be July Quinn’s son, nanny, bodyguard, or even a follower.
After all, he was a mercenary leader; it would be too humiliating if word got out.
So, he decided to gamble.
When July Quinn wasn’t paying attention, he wanted to take her life.
As for the bomb inside him, without July Quinn, the controller, it wouldn’t cause any trouble...
Susan Carter thought he was being very discreet, while July Quinn’s gaze remained fixed on the road ahead.
"No, I just wanted to see if you’ve set off. Charles Quinn and the others are already there, let’s not give them any reason to make a fuss."
"I understand, I will arrive on time."
Just as July Quinn was about to hang up the phone, Susan Carter acted immediately...
