The magnificent female voice drew everyone in the director’s office to look toward the door.
They saw a woman in a maple-red long dress, her long hair bouncing casually at her waist.
When they saw her stunningly beautiful face, they had varied reactions.
Especially Zachary, whose brow furrowed so tightly it seemed it could catch a fly.
It was the girl who helped them carry their suitcases to the hotel that day!
He wouldn’t mistake her.
After all, her face was so exquisitely unreal it was hard not to recognize her even by accident.
She had helped the three old men, which had left Zachary with a good impression of her.
So Zachary had thought about finding her after they dealt with affairs in Westmarch to thank her and maybe introduce her to his underachieving grandson.
But now she had come to them voluntarily, just as Simon Hale had said, to claim credit before they left Westmarch...
In that instant, Zachary’s favorable impression of her was completely gone.
At this moment, Zachary’s eyes were filled with indescribable disappointment.
Similar to Zachary, the butler also recognized July Quinn: "Young lady, how are you here?"
He was merely astonished and had not yet thought of any ulterior motives.
Simon Hale also recognized July Quinn, but he was unusually smug.
"I told you she’d come looking for us before we left Westmarch, and you didn’t believe me. Remember our earlier bet?"
After their bet, when the young lady didn’t show, Simon thought his two bottles of vintage wine would be pocketed by the butler.
But the moment July Quinn appeared, his anxious heart was finally at ease.
After being mocked, the butler felt inexplicably frustrated.
He really didn’t think the young lady had such a deep strategy, yet this was the reality.
And just then, July Quinn said something that left them all baffled.
Zachary & the butler and Simon Hale: "..."
Seriously, after all this time, she forgot them?
Simon Hale was the first to react, immediately scolding coldly: "How can a young girl be so scheming? You’ve come to us on your own yet pretend not to know us, is it fun?"
All three of them were quite recognizable; not to mention Zachary’s face often appeared on national TV, and Simon was a guest on a health program.
This girl didn’t recognize them?
She must be pretending.
Afraid they’d expose her and she wouldn’t gain any benefit!
As for the butler, he almost pointed out their identity to July Quinn: "We were the ones that day at..."
But before he could finish, he was interrupted by Zachary’s soft cough.
Zachary’s thinking was that it was best to be cautious in all matters.
So whether the girl truly didn’t recognize them or was pretending, it was best to stay put and watch how things unfolded.
July Quinn didn’t care about what tricks the two old men were playing and instead mocked Simon Hale disdainfully.
"Really? Are you the currency that needs to be recognized?" ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novel·fiɾe·net
After a brief verbal exchange with Simon Hale, she remembered that he was the Monroe Family’s enemy.
Hence, her tone became much colder: "Putting a leek up your nose doesn’t make you an elephant; you have to know your own worth."
If she had known earlier that this old man was an enemy of the Monroe Family, she would never have helped them, not for anything.
"You..." Simon Hale, accustomed to flattery in Esteria, couldn’t stand such sarcasm from July Quinn and was about to lash out.
But at this moment, Owen Shaw, who had been unable to speak up until now, stepped forward to introduce: "Gentlemen, this is July Quinn, the esteemed director of our Miracle Hospital."
