CHAPTER 865: CHAPTER 865: HIS LOSS OF COMPOSURE

July Quinn stiffened all over.

Laura?

Could he be referring to her mother, Laura Quinn?

After all, Elder Cole had always said she looked very much like her mother.

But before July could ask Richard Donovan whether he knew her mother, Richard had already hurried to her, "Laura, is that you?"

He seemed almost eager to touch July Quinn.

But at that moment, Kyle Keaton stepped in front of him, "Sir, you’ve mistaken her identity. She is my wife, July Quinn!"

His voice was so cold it hardly seemed like his own.

Yes, Kyle Keaton really didn’t like any man approaching July Quinn.

No matter the excuse, it just wouldn’t do.

"July Quinn? So you’re not Laura..."

Receiving the answer, Richard Donovan seemed to be struck as if by a heavy blow, his spirit visibly wilting, and his expression momentarily dazed.

At this time, Yvonne Donovan had changed her clothes, composed herself, and entered the living room accompanied by Joy Quinn.

In her hand, she still held the silver needle that the family doctor had extracted from Noah Nash.

"Dad, this is what she used on Noah Nash, almost ruining me. You must get justice for me!"

Upon entering the living room, Yvonne Donovan immediately took Richard Donovan’s arm, clamoring.

"And these people too."

Yvonne pointed at her former close friends, "They stood by without helping me, as if complicit. They should also be held accountable."

Her friends didn’t want to be implicated innocently, "Yvonne, it wasn’t on purpose. Lord Keaton didn’t let us go up to save you."

"Just because he wouldn’t let you save me, you did nothing? Joy knew enough to run and seek my dad’s help, and you just stood there and watched me get humiliated?"

Yvonne accused them mercilessly, giving them no chance to defend themselves.

But after her outburst, Richard Donovan was slow to respond.

Only upon closer look, she realized Richard Donovan didn’t look well.

"Dad, are you alright?"

"I’m fine."

Richard Donovan glanced at July again, seeing how much her face resembled the one in his memories, something in his heart seemed to burn.

But as his gaze lingered excessively on July, Kyle Keaton’s warning look followed.

Richard could only withdraw his gaze, wearily pinching his brows, "Where’s Noah Nash?"

At his command, the now sober Noah Nash was thrown into the living room.

Though he was now clothed and back to normal, the moment Yvonne saw him, those terrifying images cropped up in her mind again, and she hurriedly moved closer to Richard.

"Don’t be afraid, I’m here."

Richard comforted Yvonne with a few pats on her hand and then looked at Noah.

"Noah Nash, explain yourself, what happened today?"

Noah knelt on the ground, knowing that getting involved with Yvonne had violated Richard Donovan’s biggest taboo, and he was likely in serious trouble.

So he tried to push all the responsibility onto July Quinn, hoping to calm Yvonne and have her speak for him.

"It was July Quinn, she seduced me, and when I refused, she injected me with a needle. Then I remember nothing..."

His words gave Yvonne great satisfaction, and Joy Quinn began to secretly laugh.

But Richard Donovan frowned deeply, his gaze still on July, feeling she wasn’t that kind of person.

July Quinn remained expressionless, coldly eyeing Noah as if watching a joke.

Only Kyle Keaton spoke directly, "Are you sure my wife would abandon me to seduce someone like you?"

His voice, like fresh snow on the branches, was so cold it gave people goosebumps.
