CHAPTER 2: CHAPTER 2: BECOMING AN AUNT

The Continental Hotel—

July Quinn sat alone in the cafe.

"Uncle, the black coffee here is quite good, I think you’ll like it."

A familiar voice came through, and July Quinn turned to see Nathan Jacobs sitting with two men at the table to her back right.

The smile that once warmed her heart now felt like a painful prick.

But Nathan didn’t notice July and continued to talk non-stop.

"Caelan Bay’s sea area is great, rich in seafood, and beautiful scenery. Uncle, building a resort there with the right promotion could make it a viral hot spot..."

One man wore flamboyant clothes, a purple suit paired with a noisy floral shirt, and obsidian earrings hung from his ears.

The flashy guy nudged the man who was looking out the window at the scenery, "What do you think?"

The man turned his head to respond, "Hmm, not bad."

That was the moment July Quinn saw the exquisitely crafted handsome face that seemed to be the creator’s masterpiece.

Especially those indifferent eyes, which had a deadly allure, making it impossible to look away.

The books say some people are born to dazzle time itself.

Perhaps, Uncle is just that kind of person.

July Quinn actually knew a bit about Uncle from her previous interactions with Nathan Jacobs.

It’s said that he’s the youngest son of his grandfather, not much older than Nathan, yet unmarried.

Old Master Jacobs favors him most, fighting against all odds to place the entire Jacobs Family’s power in his hands.

So much so that even Nathan’s family has to live under his scrutiny.

Seeing the extraordinary Uncle now, July felt that Old Master Jacobs’ favoritism was justified.

As for the flashy floral shirt guy, July Quinn directly passed him over!

What kind of elder dresses so flamboyantly, like a peacock?

So, this flashy guy certainly couldn’t be the Uncle entrusted with great responsibility by Old Master Jacobs!

"Uncle, I don’t think there’s any need to consider further. If we delay, this land will probably get snatched up."

Looking at that person’s noble and elegant side profile, and hearing Nathan repeatedly calling him "Uncle," a mischievous thought popped into July Quinn’s mind—

Become Nathan Jacobs’ aunt! Make these two scumbags live under her influence from now on.

Since the day of the affair, both the Quinn Family and Nathan Jacobs were busy discussing marriage, not caring about the aftermath of her grandfather’s funeral.

July Quinn managed everything alone for three days straight before handling all these matters.

So when she saw Nathan Jacobs appearing so spirited, July Quinn became determined to avenge this dog of a man.

July Quinn is a woman of action, so she immediately put on light makeup.

When Nathan Jacobs and the flashy guy both took phone calls and left, she approached Uncle, flaunting herself.

"Sir, do you smell something?"

"What?" Kyle Keaton looked up, his charming eyes full of indifference.

July Quinn sniffed around him, "Since you showed up, the air has been sweet."

Kyle Keaton snorted in derision.

July Quinn pretended not to mind, then gave a charming smile, "Beef, pork, lamb, guess which one I like?"

Kyle Keaton sneered, "You like me, the sweetheart?"

July Quinn’s eyes lit up.

Wow, an expert indeed!

But soon, the man burst her bubble.

"Enough! Many women try these tricks to get into my bed, but I’m not interested."

July Quinn felt a bit discouraged.

But she was very confident in her looks, as even Westmarch’s official forum said her presence raised the city’s average attractiveness.

She didn’t believe that with her looks, she couldn’t conquer Uncle’s stronghold.

"I’m different from those flashy tramps, they just want your body, but I only want your soul."

"You want to-date me?" Kyle Keaton raised an eyebrow.

"No, I want to marry you."

Kyle Keaton furrowed his brow, scrutinizing the delicate yet alluring young face.

Under the man’s gaze, July Quinn calmly fiddled with her bouncy curls, stylishly sitting in the booth opposite him.

"My name is July Quinn, I just turned twenty, no marriage history, no significant health issues, no peculiar habits, I’m good and not clingy. Of course, if you’re worried I’m after your money, I can sign a prenup with you and won’t take a dime."

To become Nathan Jacobs and Nina Quinn’s aunt, July Quinn was ready to risk it all.

When Kyle Keaton heard the words prenup, a subtle glint of light passed through his eyes.

"Did you bring your household registration booklet?"

July Quinn: "I brought it."

Having lived abroad for a long time, she was used to keeping such documents in her bag for emergencies.

"Then let’s go." Kyle Keaton got up.

"Go where?" July Quinn gazed at that always pleasing face.

Kyle Keaton: "To get the marriage certificate."

July Quinn: "..."

This easily makes her an aunt?
