CHAPTER 901: CHAPTER 901: IS THAT SOMETHING PEOPLE WOULD SAY?

But Quentin didn’t take the card: "Grandpa, July did confirm with you the way to earn money in the beginning. You didn’t explicitly forbid gambling. Aren’t you afraid of being laughed at for going back on your word now?"

That’s right, Quentin still believed what he had seen with his own eyes, so he didn’t want Old Master Donovan to renege on his word.

Old Master Donovan’s face darkened immediately.

Indeed!

At first, he did not limit how the money could be made, and now he’s suddenly changing his tune.

If word got out, others would surely think that he’s deliberately making things difficult for July Quinn. How would he face the world then?

At this moment, Yvonne Donovan added, "Grandpa, there’s no need to go back on your word. We can still make sure July doesn’t join the Donovan Family’s genealogy."

"How so?" Old Master Donovan looked slightly hopeful.

Quentin remained silent, but the crease between his brows was frighteningly deep.

Honestly, he used to think this cousin of his, apart from being a bit of a crybaby and tattletale, was still quite lovable.

But now, seeing her scheming alongside Old Master Donovan, he couldn’t bring himself to like her anymore.

"This weekend is Golden Kapok Academy’s interview. Even if July gets the admission qualification, she won’t pass the interview phase."

The interview covers many topics randomly brought up by the chief examiner. Moreover, besides people from Golden Kapok Academy’s headquarters, the chief examiner this time also includes her former professor.

Yvonne has a great relationship with this professor, so she plans to appeal to the professor, allowing them to pose a few tricky questions for July that she’s unlikely to answer.

After Yvonne shared her plan with Old Master Donovan, he tacitly agreed.

Quentin tried to stop them, but neither Old Master Donovan nor Yvonne would listen to reason.

The next day, it was the day before the interview at Golden Kapok Academy.

Knowing she would face The Donovan Family again the next day, July Quinn felt inexplicably gloomy, so she insisted on Kyle Keaton making her instant noodles.

This time, Kyle decided to make cheese-flavored noodles, but finding the cheese at home finished, he sent July out to buy some.

"Just get this brand, and hurry back."

July lazed on the sofa watching TV shopping with Susan Carter, somewhat in the way.

However, Kyle didn’t expect July to take Susan along to the store with her when she went to buy cheese.

Kyle: "..."

In the supermarket, July walked in front, while Susan pushed the cart behind her.

"Susie, what do you think of these chips?"

Having strayed into the snack aisle, July decided to grab some snacks for herself.

"I prefer the BBQ-flavored ones."

Susan thought that July was asking to give him a snack treat, so he offered a fair suggestion.

As a result, July did pick the chips he liked but said, "Alright, I’ll take two bags home to eat in front of you."

Susan: "..."

Listen to that, is that something a person would say?

The two wandered around the supermarket for a while, and when they got to the checkout, they ran into two people.

One of them was Amanda Ford, whom they hadn’t seen in half a year, and the other was Mrs. Chase, whom Amanda had recently met.

Mrs. Chase lived in the affluent district of Esteria, and her family was in the aesthetic medicine industry.

She treated Amanda well, often inviting her for cards, shopping, and leisure.

With the holiday approaching, she invited Amanda for some baking at the supermarket, saying she wanted to bake something nice for Amanda and Joy Quinn.

Of course, Amanda understood that adult friendships are mutually beneficial.

The reason Mrs. Chase was so nice to her was that she knew Joy was a prodigy in the traditional medicine and aesthetic industry and had been admitted to Golden Kapok Academy.

Mrs. Chase hoped Joy would work for their aesthetic medicine company after graduating from Golden Kapok Academy, which explained her attentiveness towards Amanda.

When Amanda looked up, she inadvertently met July Quinn’s eyes.

Harboring resentful feelings towards July, Amanda didn’t want to greet her.

However, Mrs. Chase couldn’t help but exclaim upon seeing July, "So beautiful! With such features, she could be our new model."
