Chapter 690: Chapter 690: Your Aunt-in-law
As soon as Kyle Keaton walked away, those who had been gossiping about July Quinn’s misfortune suddenly all seemed eager to curry favor with her.
"Young lady, I’m Austin Wright from Pinnacle Technology. Here’s a gift card from our company, a small token of appreciation, please accept it."
"Miss Quinn, right? I’m Calvin Lynch from Rosewell Jewelers, nice to meet you. This is our company’s latest gift set for young girls, please accept it with a smile."
"Miss Quinn, I’m..."
Indeed, almost all of them were scrambling to present gifts to July Quinn.
Although they currently couldn’t figure out the exact nature of the relationship between Kyle Keaton and July Quinn, they could see that after July’s inappropriate public behavior, Kyle was not the least bit angry and even ruffled her hair affectionately.
From this, they could tell that Kyle Keaton clearly had special feelings for July Quinn.
It couldn’t hurt to befriend July Quinn.
Not far away, Bianca White, who had been eagerly waiting for July Quinn to be thrown out by security, was furious to see July being flattered instead.
The key point was, she also noticed the affectionate look in Kyle Keaton’s eyes while he ruffled July’s hair, a look she had long dreamed of.
No!
This affection was supposed to belong to her.
After all, she was the one who knew Kyle Keaton first, and she was the one who fell in love with him first.
How could Kyle Keaton’s affection belong to someone else?
Bianca glared in the direction of July Quinn, her eyes filled with malice and menace.
But before she could make a move, Roman Kidd’s voice called from behind: "Bianca, come with me!"
Bianca snapped back to reality to realize that the opening ceremony was ready.
Kyle Keaton was already standing at the center position of the ribbon, and the others were taking their places.
The Hawthorne Family was preparing to lead Roman Kidd to stand at another central position beside Kyle Keaton.
Following Roman Kidd would give her another chance for a close encounter with Kyle Keaton.
Bianca was delighted and immediately cast aside her malicious plans against July Quinn, quickly following Roman Kidd ahead.
However, Bianca ended up being placed next to Roman Kidd.
Separated by Roman Kidd, Bianca could see Kyle Keaton clearly, with photographers ready to take their pictures.
Bianca considered this another chance to be in the same frame with Kyle Keaton, something July Quinn could never have in a lifetime.
This was the difference between people!
Thinking this, she felt much better.
So, when the ribbon-cutting ceremony began, Bianca’s smile grew wider.

Meanwhile, July Quinn, Shelly Cole, Victor Hawthorne, and others had already arrived at the mountaintop hotel.
"Julian, what’s your relationship with my uncle?"
Victor Hawthorne finally couldn’t suppress his burning curiosity and asked the question he was most eager to know while Shelly Cole and the others were exploring some of the hotel’s facilities.
"I’m your aunt."
July Quinn replied truthfully.
To his surprise, Victor Hawthorne almost burst out laughing.
"Oh please, don’t joke like that. My uncle isn’t the kind of person who messes around!"
July Quinn gave him a cold glare: "Does that mean I’m someone who messes around?"
This cold stare reminded Victor of the fear of being dominated by her, and he quickly waved his hands.
"That’s not what I meant. I just think..."
Victor Hawthorne carefully chose his words before continuing:
"I just think you and my uncle aren’t from the same world. If you really end up together, I’ll swallow that thing over there."
Victor Hawthorne pointed at the stone lion at the hotel’s entrance...
