Chapter 578: Chapter 578: Don’t Look Down on It
"What do you mean? How is July Quinn life-threatening?"
Leo hasn’t experienced any societal hardships, only July Quinn’s care, so he still thinks of her as a kind-hearted princess.
"Even if I tell you, you wouldn’t understand."
Victor Hawthorne, too lazy to waste words with Leo, brought the gold bar to July Quinn’s front.
"It’s great that you came, why bring a gift?"
Moreover, such an expensive gift.
The price of gold has skyrocketed recently, and just four or five pounds of gold easily adds up to a million.
"Didn’t have time to choose a gift, so I grabbed it from the safe, don’t disdain it."
July Quinn was busy leading her esports team to level up, so busy that she didn’t even look up.
Victor Hawthorne looked at the gold bar in his hand, his lips twitching.
Disdain?
How could he even dare to disdain it?
Victor Hawthorne was pondering what topic to chat about with July Quinn, when she said, "I’ll be leaving in half an hour."
"Since you’re here, why not have some barbecue before you go?"
For her visit, Victor Hawthorne had even had the help prepare many foods girls love.
And now July Quinn hadn’t tasted a single bite and was about to leave?
"I’ve got something to do."
The clinic was taking a break today, and July Quinn planned to go meet someone later.
Indeed, Kyle Keaton had suddenly asked her out.
Although she didn’t know what it was about, considering it’s been a week, July Quinn agreed to meet him.
"Okay then."
Victor wouldn’t dare stop someone as dangerous as July Quinn.
So, half an hour later, July Quinn left the Hawthorne Family, headed to The Lotus Pavilion Teahouse to meet Kyle Keaton.
It seemed Kyle had informed the staff, as July Quinn was met and led into the room where Kyle was as soon as she reached the entrance of the teahouse.
Besides the two of them, there was a tea master brewing tea in the room.
Soon after July Quinn sat down, the master handed her a steaming cup of tea.
July Quinn picked up the tea, and before taking a sip, she was already overwhelmed by the fragrance.
"Nice tea."
Kyle Keaton, also enjoying the tea, casually replied upon hearing July’s compliment, "If you like it, I’ll have them pack a few boxes for you to take home."
The tea master frowned upon hearing this.
This tea comes from a thousand-year-old tree, with only about ten pounds produced a year.
Per gram, it’s more valuable than gold.
The teahouse only brings out these leaves for the most distinguished guests.
But hearing Lord Keaton, it sounded as if these tea leaves were as common as cabbage.
Even more surprisingly, the woman refused.
"No need. What did you want to see me about today?"
July Quinn’s shimmering eyes coldly swept over Kyle Keaton’s face.
If something unusual happens, it’s bound to be ominous.
From past experience with Kyle showing up with a knife, July wasn’t too thrilled to be called by him again out of the blue.
"I have to have a reason to see you?"
Faced with July Quinn’s suddenly cold demeanor, even Kyle Keaton felt disoriented.
"Weren’t you always calling me hubby? And now your hubby’s looking for you, and you’re putting on airs?"
The tea master was stunned by their conversation.
It seemed Lord Keaton wasn’t married yet, so this woman calling him ’hubby’ was quite audacious.
Moreover, according to the rumors, heartless and ruthless Lord Keaton was supposed to greet this woman with hostility.
Yet in the current situation, how had it become a case of unrequited love for Lord Keaton?
Indeed, unrequited love.
Just like now, questioning her like that, and she only replied lazily, "If you’re just here to see if I’ll put on airs, then I’ll take my leave."
After those words, July Quinn really got up to leave.
