Chapter 688: Chapter 688: Digging One’s Own Grave?
"Now that your luggage has been moved, can we have a good chat?"
Kyle Keaton raised an eyebrow at July Quinn right after Victor Hawthorne moved his luggage.
July Quinn merely gave him a cold glance.
"I don’t think there’s anything worth discussing between us."
While uttering these words, she took Shelly Cole’s hand and prepared to leave swiftly.
Kyle Keaton didn’t stop her, he just casually continued speaking:
"I think there are plenty of things we can talk about, like why you called me husband, the extent of our previous interactions, and whether there were intimate acts like the other night when you were so proactive..."
His volume was not intentionally lowered, so Shelly Cole, standing next to her, heard everything clearly.
Especially hearing the words "intimate acts," Shelly Cole couldn’t help but stare at July Quinn, very curious about what intimate acts they did that night.
July Quinn couldn’t stand being gossiped about and didn’t want certain private matters between them to be known by others, so she hesitated, released Shelly Cole, and before Kyle Keaton could continue speaking, she quickly covered his mouth.
This simple action made several people around them gasp.
"Oh my God, this woman must be crazy. Doesn’t she know that in front of her is The God of Wealth for not only Esteria but the whole country? She dares to block The God of Wealth’s mouth? Courting disaster!"
"Why are you all so concerned? This woman clearly has an unusual relationship with Lord Keaton."
"Even if the two are as close as conjoined twins, one can’t disregard a man’s dignity outside, right? Especially someone as important as Lord Keaton; it’s completely out of line."
"I’ll bet a bag of spicy strips, this woman will definitely get thrown off the mountain by Lord Keaton later."
Indeed, those who weren’t acquainted with July Quinn didn’t think well of her earlier actions.
Those who knew her even thought she was digging her own grave.
Like Bianca White!
"She’s crazy, doing that to Lord Keaton in public! Who’s supposed to be guarding Lord Keaton today? Why haven’t they dragged her out yet?"
Indeed, Bianca White also felt that Lord Keaton’s status was special and absolutely couldn’t be treated so recklessly in public, or it would cause him to lose face.
However, she thought it was good that July Quinn caused such a scene, as it saved her, Bianca White, from taking action herself.
Bianca White was watching the scene with a smile, eagerly waiting for the moment July Quinn would be kicked down the mountain by Kyle Keaton’s bodyguards.
Roman Kidd and Brandon White were watching the scene too.
But Brandon White seemed intimidated by Lord Keaton’s aura; his eyes were filled with unwillingness, yet he said nothing.
And Roman Kidd, since July Quinn appeared, had his gaze fixed on her.
He was initially annoyed for focusing too much attention on July Quinn, but when he saw her palm covering Kyle Keaton’s lips at that moment, he felt as if he was sitting on pins and needles.
Was it because this wicked woman was touching the man his cousin liked, or was there another reason?
For a moment, even Roman Kidd couldn’t comprehend the feeling, simply frowning deeply, staring at the interaction between July Quinn and Kyle Keaton.
Perhaps his displeasure was too evident, drawing attention from Victor Hawthorne’s parents.
Thus, having just taken July Quinn’s luggage to the hotel at the mountain top in the electric sightseeing vehicle, Victor Hawthorne came back only to receive a new task.
"Go, invite your great uncle to our ribbon-cutting ceremony."
"Dad, shouldn’t you be doing that?"
Victor Hawthorne didn’t want to move at all now; besides sensing the subtle atmosphere between July Quinn and Kyle Keaton, his instincts told him that if he went over to disrupt their conversation at this moment, his great uncle might direct his ire at him.
