CHAPTER 810: CHAPTER 810: IF OFFENDED, I WILL RETALIATE

"Is it really you?"

Roman Kidd’s eyes were unfathomably deep, locked onto July Quinn’s excessively beautiful bare face.

Regarding the potion issue, as soon as the test results came out today, someone reported it to him.

Thomas Grant also came specifically to meet him about this matter, to discuss countermeasures.

In addition, Bianca White also lodged a complaint with him, claiming that July Quinn was behind it.

Yet, until this moment, Roman Kidd still hadn’t associated it with July Quinn.

Because in his view, July Quinn’s capabilities far surpassed Bianca White’s, and she wouldn’t bother to deal with an insignificant figure like Bianca.

But unexpectedly, July Quinn not only dealt with Bianca White but also brazenly admitted it in front of him.

Especially with that makeup-free face, which maintained the usual coldness she reserved just for him, without any guilty conscience for having done bad and ruined another person’s future.

"Why?"

Roman Kidd’s tone couldn’t hide his disappointment and sternness.

He just couldn’t express where these emotions stemmed from.

Was it merely because his cousin lost a promising future, or because of July Quinn’s blatant framing?

At this time, a steward brought two freshly brewed cups of hot tea.

Seeing the atmosphere in the room wasn’t right, Roman’s face was extremely grim, a prelude to fury, and the steward quickly put down the tea and turned to leave.

However, it was as if July Quinn hadn’t noticed Roman Kidd’s seething gaze on her, she picked up a teacup, gently nudged the floating tea leaves with the lid, took a sip, and said coldly:

"If people do not offend me, I will not offend them. If people offend me, I will offend them."

"How did she offend you? Why go so far as to ruin her future?"

Thinking about Bianca White being possibly expelled by The Keaton Family’s Vanguard Corps for taking a potion during the competition, and how difficult it would be for her to find work domestically in the future, Roman Kidd grew even more indignant.

Perhaps because his tone became somewhat aggressive, July Quinn also put down her teacup and met his gaze.

"In your eyes, she only tampered with the bottled water in my room, and that wasn’t enough to offend me. And I merely transferred what she put in my drinking water into her thermos."

Her lips still held a flirtatious smile, like a hook that made it impossible for anyone to look away from her radiant face.

But Roman Kidd noticed that while her mouth smiled, her eyes were devoid of any warmth, as cold as if she had merely encountered a passerby of no importance.

Such a gaze made Roman Kidd feel as though something was burning his heart.

"She tampered with your bottled water? Why didn’t you explain this earlier?"

So it was Bianca who struck first.

Bianca also intended to ruin her future, destroying all her prior efforts.

She simply fought fire with fire.

Thinking like this, he had wronged her.

"What’s the point of explaining first? Does that mean she wouldn’t think to act against me again, or that you would stand with me to the point of betraying your own family?"

July Quinn still looked at him coldly, with a hint of mockery playing on her lips.

Yet she remained upright with her slender frame, unyielding and resilient.

However, Roman Kidd couldn’t understand why seeing July Quinn’s expression, he suddenly thought of the phrase "pretend to be strong," and even felt an impulsive urge to embrace her recklessly.

So, some words slipped out unconsciously: "In the future, if you encounter such things, you can tell me, I can..."

Roman Kidd was about to promise that as long as she was in the right, he would selflessly stand in her corner, even if it meant turning against his family.

But he couldn’t even understand himself why, upon half saying those emotional words to July Quinn, he was interrupted by her saying, "Pfft, I don’t want to see you again, bad luck!"
