CHAPTER 79: CHAPTER 79: FIRED?

"So here’s a piece of advice for Miss Yasmin Zane: think twice before you speak and act, or else everyone will question how you obtained those impressive credentials."

After leaving those words behind, July Quinn decisively walked towards Kyle Keaton’s office.

"July Quinn, how dare you twist things around, you..."

Yasmin Zane was so angry at being rebuked that she jumped up and down in fury.

But before she could finish her sentence, the secretary suddenly interrupted her.

"Yasmin Zane, you’re an adult, you should know that you can’t just casually slander someone. This is your first offense, and July Quinn hasn’t pressed the issue, so there will be no punishment this time. But if it happens again, no matter how good your business skills are, you’ll have to leave."

The secretary had been by Miles Jacobs’ side for years and had some idea of Kyle Keaton’s extraordinary status.

Although he didn’t currently know the relationship between July Quinn and Kyle Keaton, he knew that ruining Kyle Keaton’s reputation was something The Jacobs Group couldn’t afford, which was why he warned Yasmin Zane.

With the secretary’s words, even though Yasmin Zane had many grievances against July Quinn, she could only grit her teeth and swallow them.

But the grudge between her and July Quinn had just been set!

*

Just as July Quinn reached the door of Kyle Keaton’s office, her phone suddenly rang.

As soon as she answered the unfamiliar number, Nina Quinn’s coquettish voice came through: "July, how have you been lately? I’ve called you several times and sent many messages, but you’ve blocked me. I had no choice but to borrow someone else’s number to call you..."

July Quinn was about to hang up when Nina Quinn hurriedly shouted, "July, don’t hang up. I’m down in The Jacobs Group’s lobby; I have something to give you. Could you come down for a moment?"

"Alright."

July Quinn was curious about what Nina Quinn wanted to give her.

A few minutes later, July Quinn met Nina Quinn in The Jacobs Group’s lobby.

She was wearing the latest Chanel ensemble, holding a new Hermes leather handbag, and wearing the latest Gucci sunglasses on her face.

Her makeup was exquisite, her demeanor pretentious.

Seeing July Quinn, she removed her sunglasses with a flourish and looked July up and down in her intern uniform, her face full of surprise.

"July, yesterday Brother Nathan told me you were working at The Jacobs Group, and I thought I misheard. I didn’t expect you to really be working here. Were you fired from Wisteria TV? They are so harsh. How could they be so cruel over such a small matter?"

Yesterday, Nathan Jacobs told her that July Quinn had been fired from Wisteria TV and was working as an intern at The Jacobs Group, which she found hard to believe.

But now, seeing with her own eyes July Quinn wearing this cheap employee uniform, she finally felt reassured, and her sense of superiority shot up.

Without July Quinn, Wisteria TV’s program would likely soon meet its end, so how could it compete with Project Lime?

As for July Quinn, without Wisteria TV’s support, she could only navigate other workplaces now.

Given her limited educational background, Nina Quinn believed it was only a matter of time before she hit a dead end and reconciled with Nathan Jacobs.

With this thought, Nina Quinn was in a great mood.

July Quinn: "..."

After a few days without seeing her, Nina Quinn was still as pretentious as ever.

Suppressing the urge to offer her toilet cleaner for a mouth rinse, July Quinn cut off her fake greetings.

"Didn’t you say you have something for me?"

"Oh, right." Nina Quinn had a look of sudden realization, took an invitation out of her Hermes bag, and handed it to July Quinn.

"This weekend is Grandpa Jacobs’ birthday, and he’s having a banquet at the Hawes Presidential Hotel. At the banquet, we’ll also announce the engagement between Brother Nathan and me. You must come and witness the happiest moment for Brother Nathan and me..."

Nina Quinn bashfully stuffed the invitation into July Quinn’s hand.
