Chapter 565: Chapter 565: Hick Look
On the weekend, Joy Quinn brought Willow Young to the New Horizon Clubhouse as planned.
The interior decoration was understated yet luxurious, something Willow Young had never seen before.
Furthermore, everyone here was dressed in luxury brands, making Willow Young envious and excited.
"Joy, this place is really beautiful."
"Oh my god, isn’t that the famous actress Cherry Locke? The person next to her doesn’t seem to be her boyfriend!"
Willow Young’s sudden exclamations made Joy Quinn furrow her brows slightly.
"Willow, keep your voice down, it wouldn’t be good if they heard you."
The Quinn Family used to be considered as one of the affluent families in Westmarch, so Joy Quinn had visited similar clubhouses before.
But the people with her never acted like Willow Young, marveling at the decorations and celebrities.
This made Joy Quinn feel somewhat embarrassed and regretful for bringing Willow Young to such a place.
"Sorry, sorry, I got too excited."
After Joy Quinn’s reminder, Willow Young restrained herself a bit.
Yet she still frequently looked around, appearing like a country bumpkin who hadn’t seen the world.
At this moment, a middle-aged man, after being warmly welcomed by several people, was heading towards their direction.
Joy Quinn looked up, and a glimmer flashed in her eyes.
This was Franklin Yates, Shelly Cole’s father, and he looked rather well.
Moreover, having lived luxuriously in The Cole Family over the years, he was very well maintained, looking just about thirty despite being in his fifties.
Willow Young preferred mature men and occasionally discussed men with Joy Quinn, only mentioning slightly older professors at school.
Sure enough, upon seeing Franklin Yates, Willow Young’s eyes were fixated.
"Joy, do you know who that is? Not only is he handsome, but also has an extraordinary aura."
He definitely looks like a big boss, and that watch on his wrist should be quite valuable.
Joy Quinn didn’t respond to Franklin Yates, instead greeting him boldly.
"Uncle Yates, long time no see."
A few years ago, Franklin Yates had done business with The Quinn Family, during which time he and Charles Quinn were like brothers.
But later, Elder Cole didn’t particularly like his dealings with Charles Quinn, leading the families to gradually drift apart.
This is why Joy Quinn knew some things about Franklin Yates.
In fact, Franklin Yates used to be just a poor guy, with no skills to speak of, unable to make it big.
Later, he married into The Cole Family, received financial support from them, and became who he is today.
Still, people like him are the easiest to get arrogant.
Once he got money, he began forgetting how he rose to prominence, often getting into affairs outside.
During the time when Franklin Yates got close to Charles Quinn, the two often frequented nightclubs.
However, Franklin Yates was a bit smarter than Charles Quinn; even when playing at nightclubs, he would prepare an identical outfit to the one he wore today to change into before coming home, preventing his wife from discovering his escapades.
Franklin Yates turned around, scrutinized Joy Quinn for a while, before finally recognizing her.
"Isn’t this Joy? You’ve grown so much!" Franklin Yates greeted Joy Quinn with a smile.
Willow Young was astonished to see Joy Quinn and Franklin Yates knew each other, leaving her mouth wide open.
"Yes, Uncle Yates. It seems like it’s been five or six years since last time we met."
"Time flies by so quickly, in the blink of an eye, you’ve turned into a young lady."
As Franklin Yates marveled, Joy Quinn worried that Willow Young might feel left out, and introduced her: "Uncle Yates, this is my classmate, Willow Young."
"Hello, Uncle Yates." Willow Young quickly greeted him.
"Hello." Franklin Yates discreetly sized up Willow Young before withdrawing his gaze.
"Are you two meeting someone? If you haven’t arranged to meet others, why not come to my private room?"
"Then we must thank Uncle Yates." With Franklin Yates’s invitation, Joy Quinn was relieved from having to wrack her brains to get Willow Young through the door.
