Chapter 706: Chapter 706: Not a Ploy?
The gunshots resounded incessantly, echoing in the sky and causing Bianca White, who was closest to July Quinn, to feel extreme discomfort in her ears. She helplessly covered them for a moment.
No one expected July Quinn to fire at this moment, leaving everyone momentarily bewildered.
Even Roman Kidd, who hurried over, felt the same.
After firing ten shots, July Quinn directly handed the gun back to Bianca White.
"Now the competition is over, I’m going back to sleep."
Then she left without looking back.
Kyle Keaton didn’t focus on the competition results, as he noticed that when July Quinn was shooting, her nails were incomplete and her fingers were injured.
"July Quinn, what’s wrong with your fingers?"
He caught up to her, asking.
Previously, July Quinn wore a hoodie with sleeves that were a bit long, and she always kept her hands in the hoodie’s pockets.
Kyle Keaton hadn’t discovered the injuries on her hands.
Honestly, the fact that Kyle Keaton was so concerned about July Quinn’s finger injuries surprised everyone present.
Some noblewomen couldn’t help but discuss quietly.
"Isn’t it just a finger injury? Is it necessary for Lord Keaton to make such a fuss?"
"Before Kyle became the Family Head, for some time he trained with The Keaton Family’s Vanguard Corps, and he personally led missions with those generals. I’ve heard that once, when he led the generals on a mission, everyone returned with varying degrees of injury. In such circumstances, Lord Keaton shouldn’t be making such a fuss over just a small finger injury."
Some people were curious about why Kyle Keaton was so concerned about July Quinn’s finger injury, while others envied the attention July received from Kyle.
"July Quinn is really something, does she need to reveal that small injury in front of Lord Keaton?"
"That kind of small injury, if revealed a little later in front of Lord Keaton, would likely have healed already."
In the midst of their heated discussions, Roman Kidd frowned as he watched Kyle Keaton chase after July Quinn.
However, Roman Kidd neither felt puzzled nor jealous; he suddenly understood why July Quinn didn’t allow him to tell Kyle Keaton about her falling off the cliff.
You see, Kyle Keaton cares so much about her small finger injury. If he found out it was Roman Kidd who caused her to fall off the cliff, considering Kyle’s character, he would likely directly target Roman next.
Even though Roman has the confidence not to be at a disadvantage, a showdown between these two men at the pinnacle of wealth and power would inevitably trigger a financial tsunami, causing civilian distress.
So rather than saying July Quinn is protecting Roman Kidd, it’s more apt to say she’s protecting ordinary people.
Thinking of this, Roman Kidd suddenly had a different view of July Quinn.
However, he didn’t know that this realization brightened his heart, but plunged Bianca White into madness.
"Truly disgusting. In order to get Lord Keaton to look at you again, you use any means necessary!"
In her view, Lord Keaton’s affection and attention should solely be hers.
Especially since she had just achieved such excellent shooting results, Lord Keaton should be focused entirely on her.
But then July Quinn inadvertently revealed her injury and stole Lord Keaton’s attention.
Listening to her rant, Brandon White frowned and asked, "What is her relationship with Lord Keaton?"
"No relationship at all!" Bianca almost hysterically replied.
Yet Brandon didn’t get angry at her sudden outburst; instead, he slightly curved his lips.
As long as there’s no relationship, it’s fine!
Just when the two calmed down, Roman Kidd suddenly said, "Bianca, that’s not a tactic."
