Chapter 459: Chapter 459: Get Out!
"Life is so dull."
Ever since Charles Quinn and Nina Quinn went to prison, their lives have gone downhill.
Not only do they lose face, but the wealthy ladies they used to play cards with now avoid her.
The most important thing is that even living in her own house now requires July Quinn’s approval.
And July Quinn won’t let them hire a maid, so she has to clean the house herself.
Having lived a life where she never had to lift a finger, Amanda Ford now doesn’t know how to face such dire circumstances.
"Mom, you have to believe that the sun always shines after the rain. All the unpleasant things will soon pass!"
Joy Quinn handed a sunflower from her hand to Amanda Ford.
Taking the sunflower, Amanda Ford murmured to herself, "The sun shining after the rain, it’s just something nice to hear, but you can’t take it seriously."
After Charles Quinn was arrested, those who used to have good relations with him stood by and did nothing.
Even her own family shunned her like the plague.
In such circumstances, how could Amanda Ford dare to hope for any turnaround?
"Can’t you just trust me for once? Our lives, they will surely get better."
Joy Quinn placed all the bouquets in the vase and turned back to smile sweetly at Amanda Ford.
Amanda Ford saw her bathed in sunlight, looking somewhat radiant, but couldn’t help dashing her hopes.
"Are you planning to get rich by working under July Quinn? Stop dreaming the impossible."
Joy Quinn has indeed become prettier recently.
But with her brain that only knows how to study and loaf around under July Quinn, getting married into a wealthy family would be of no help.
The more she thought about it, the more Amanda Ford missed Charles Quinn and Nina Quinn.
"I just wonder how your dad and sister are doing inside there...
"
Joy Quinn suddenly dimmed considerably.
At that moment, there was suddenly a noise at the door.
"Who’s here?"
Amanda Ford was still hoping for the return of Nina Quinn and Charles Quinn, wishing they could take her away from this misery.
Joy Quinn said nothing, but a small frown appeared on her brow.
Seeing Amanda Ford already impatiently running out to see who came, she hesitated for a moment and followed.
They quickly saw July Quinn at the door, along with Susan Carter, who had fought off more than a dozen goons alone that day.
"July, why did you come back at this time? Also, who is this man? Don’t just bring anyone home, alright?"
Seeing July Quinn’s face brought waves of disappointment, helplessness, and grief to Amanda Ford.
But she also knew that now she needs to live by July Quinn’s whims and couldn’t confront her directly.
So the unexpected stranger became her only outlet for frustration.
It was Joy Quinn who quickly stopped Amanda Ford, "Mom, this is my sister’s friend, he even saved me before."
After calming Amanda Ford’s emotions, Joy Quinn then ran to July Quinn’s side, holding her hand.
"Sister, have you eaten since you came back? If not, can you take me out to eat? I want to go to the local place that’s been booming recently. I heard their traditional dishes are incredibly delicious!"
"Oh, if you have time this afternoon, could you accompany me to the bookstore? I’m about to start school, and I haven’t bought all the materials for the next semester yet."
As usual, Joy Quinn chirped excitedly with July Quinn, her endless chatter and pampering.
Usually, July Quinn loves this routine and would pretty much comply.
But today...
July Quinn suddenly shook off the hand Joy Quinn had wrapped around her arm.
Caught off guard, Joy Quinn sat down on the floor, a bit stunned, "Sister?"
Yet July Quinn’s stunningly beautiful face, one never tires of looking at, was filled with coldness, "Get out! Take your mom and get out from here now!"
