CHAPTER 116: CHAPTER 116: I DID IT ON PURPOSE

"Grandpa?"

Owen Shaw was completely taken aback.

After all, he was someone the Shaw family had raised for over twenty years, how could they just casually sell him off like this?

Shouldn’t they carefully select a beautiful, virtuous, and smart heiress, who also comes from a wealthy family, for him?

This made him doubt whether he was even the Shaw family’s biological son.

With his face frozen in disbelief, Old Master Shaw slowly said, "Owen, you’ve surely heard the saying that save one’s life and they owe you, so why not marry them in return?"

"I’ve heard it, but she didn’t save me!"

Owen Shaw didn’t like arranged marriages, so he insisted, "If you want to give yourself as thanks, go right ahead."

As a result, he got smacked on the back of the head again.

"If grandpa wasn’t already married and wasn’t this old, do you think you’d get such a good deal?"

"But she didn’t save me, why should I have to marry her?"

"A father’s debt is paid by the son! A grandfather’s debt can be paid by the grandson too."

Owen Shaw: "..."

The conversation was effectively dead.

*

This Friday was the recording time for a new episode of "Creation Camp".

July Quinn temporarily took leave from The Jacobs Group and returned to the production team.

Unexpectedly, when recording the show, Gala Entertainment’s Project Lime also happened to be filming in the studio next door.

The two teams ran into each other in the main hall, and Nina Quinn’s face immediately darkened.

It was just that those trainees from "Creation Camp", under the masterful touch of the styling team, appeared to be more handsome and eye-catching than the ones from Project Lime.

Even the most popular contestant from Project Lime, Garrett Galloway, couldn’t compare to any one of them.

Such a stark contrast made many onlookers who witnessed the scene pull out their phones.

"Quick, stop them from taking photos."

Project Lime’s ratings were already struggling, and if candid photos from bystanders made it online, would anyone bother watching it anymore?

Chances are, Wisteria TV would suck up all the ratings.

As soon as Nina Quinn gave the order, staff members stepped up to stop the bystanders from filming.

At this moment, a familiar voice chimed in, "Doing so will affect their public image."

Nina Quinn immediately turned around and saw July Quinn approaching her in black sweatpants and a white T-shirt.

A very casual outfit, with no makeup.

Yet the moment she appeared, she captured everyone’s focus.

It was an effect Nina’s carefully crafted makeup and meticulously chosen outfit couldn’t achieve.

In her intense irritation, she also noticed two staff members from Wisteria TV following behind July Quinn.

She immediately frowned, "Weren’t you kicked out by Wisteria TV?"

"Who told you I was kicked out?" July Quinn raised an eyebrow.

"If you weren’t kicked out, why are you working as a probationary employee at The Jacobs Group?"

Could it be that Nathan Jacobs deceived her?

"Haven’t you heard of the term ’slash youth’?" July Quinn smiled knowingly.

Nina Quinn’s ten fingernails dug deeply into her handbag.

Of course, she had heard the term "slash youth."

It refers to the young people of today who are not satisfied with a singular career path, opting for a diverse life with multiple jobs and identities.

So, what July Quinn meant was that not only was she not fired by Wisteria TV, but she also found another job at The Jacobs Group?

Nina Quinn shook with anger on the spot.

She had at least expected that the rumors online would cost July her job, but it turned out that July not only emerged unscathed, her life seemed even more prosperous.

This made her realize that in a direct confrontation, she was still no match for July Quinn.

So, she quickly masked her ashamed and angry expression, replacing it with a pitiful look.

"July, I don’t understand why you have to target me like this. After all, we’re sisters, can you stop trying to embarrass me on purpose?"

She said this with a hint of choking in her voice.

"My show is about to be ruined by you, and Brother Nathan is almost being ruined by you too..."

People always sympathize with the underdog, and Nina Quinn was leveraging this point.

So under her deliberate portrayal, those around began to criticize July.

But July Quinn didn’t even glance at them, she just smiled and said, "At this point, you still think it’s me who ruined the show, and not your own lack of ability and insistence on stealing it that’s causing this?"

Nina Quinn’s tearful look suddenly froze.

She hated it most when people said she was inferior to July Quinn, whether in appearance or capability.

However, July gave her no chance to react and continued smiling, "As for Nathan Jacobs... that’s right, I did it on purpose."
