After achieving her goal, Joy Quinn chatted with Howard Lynch for a few more minutes.
But soon, Howard was called away by the school leaders.
As soon as Howard left, Willow Young exclaimed.
"Joy, is Meridia, the president of the language association, your cousin?"
Joy Quinn pretended to be indifferent, but in reality, she thoroughly enjoyed the moment of being the center of attention and envied by others.
"Then why didn’t you say so?"
If Howard is Joy’s cousin, it explains why she thought Howard looked just fine earlier.
After all, he’s her cousin, they’ve likely met numerous times since childhood, so she’s not easily dazzled by his looks.
But unlike her, Willow was seeing such a gentle and handsome boy for the first time; she couldn’t take her eyes off him.
Although Franklin Yates isn’t bad either, he’s already in his fifties.
Furthermore, after "getting to know" him over time, Willow found out he’s actually Shelly Cole’s father, which erased her initial feelings for him.
Willow considered leaving him, but she couldn’t bring herself to give up the material life Franklin provided.
Just like when she first learned that Franklin had a wife and daughter, she wanted to leave him, but Franklin bought her a handbag worth over ten thousand to make her happy. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn novel•fire.net
Though Willow’s living conditions were pretty good, her parents were just ordinary salaried workers; she had never used such an expensive bag.
So once again, she found herself entangled with Franklin...
Now, Willow’s plan is to find a man who can provide the same material lifestyle as Franklin and then leave him.
The appearance of Howard, coupled with Joy’s relationship with him, made Willow think Howard was the right person for her.
At the moment, Willow only wants to get more information about Howard from Joy’s mouth as soon as possible.
"I was just afraid you guys would think there was something shady going on in the competition!" Joy Quinn’s ability to casually lie had improved immensely.
"This competition is hosted by our school, and all the test makers are teachers from our school, what does it have to do with the association?"
Willow went straight to the point: "By the way, does your cousin have a girlfriend?"
"No." Joy Quinn suddenly realized something and quickly glanced at Willow.
Sure enough, Willow was still infatuatedly watching Howard walk away.
This idiot, could she be eyeing her cousin?
Joy Quinn’s suspicion was quickly confirmed.
"Could you take me to have dinner with your cousin after the assessment is over?"
Maybe because she has been with Franklin, Willow had lost the reserved nature of typical girls and was playing quite openly.
"I’ll have to check with my cousin about that."
Joy replied so, but in her heart, she cursed Willow’s ancestors for eighteen generations.
She had already been in bed with an old man countless times and still dared to covet her cousin?
Besides, Willow and Franklin’s affair was orchestrated by Joy; she hadn’t even leveraged this connection to deal with July Quinn yet. How could she let Willow leave Franklin?
Willow went on to inquire a lot about Howard and what type of girls he liked.
"Because my cousin has been focused on studying Meridia’s language, he hasn’t been around many girls, so I’m not really sure what type he likes."
Joy intended to convey to Willow that she didn’t know what kind of girls Howard liked.
But Willow focused on the fact that Howard hadn’t interacted with many girls.
If Howard hadn’t had much contact with girls, that was even better.
When things progress between her and Howard, she could go to the hospital to get a membrane replacement, and it would feel to Howard as if she were brand new.
