Bianca White probably didn’t expect Susan Carter to suddenly turn the guns on herself.
But isn’t it always in dramas where the supporting male character provokes the male lead when he suspects the female lead of an affair, only deepening the misunderstanding between the leads?
Why does it feel like things are going in the opposite direction with them?
"I don’t understand why you won’t admit it, but I clearly saw you shopping and dining with July Quinn, even trying hard to cheer her up!"
In Bianca White’s eyes, these were things only a man trying to win over a woman he likes would do.
That’s why she immediately recorded those scenes and forwarded them to Lord Keaton.
Bianca White thought her evidence was solid and had the victory in the bag.
Unexpectedly, Susan Carter retorted sharply: "Do you have to be involved with her to do those things? Can’t a parent enjoy a meal, shop, and have fun with their child?" Read full story at novel·fiɾe·net
Not only Bianca White, but even Kyle Keaton furrowed his brows upon hearing these words, highly skeptical of Susan Carter’s Western face being able to father a child with July Quinn’s unmistakably Eastern features.
Indeed, they both assumed Susan Carter was referring to a father-daughter relationship with July Quinn.
Unexpectedly, Susan Carter turned to July Quinn, as if seeking affirmation, and asked, "Dad, am I right?"
July Quinn is Susan Carter’s dad?
Susan Carter’s age could barely make him July Quinn’s father.
But how could the barely twenty-year-old July Quinn have fathered Susan Carter, who is pushing forty?
Yet, with unexpected certainty, July Quinn responded amidst their stunned gazes, "Right."
"But Dad, what’s his deal? It’s like he doesn’t even recognize me anymore."
Susan Carter ignored Kyle Keaton and Bianca White’s expressions akin to eating flies, pulling July Quinn along with his gaze resting on Kyle Keaton.
Susan Carter became the leader of the mercenaries, naturally, his mind is sharp.
So during the brief encounter earlier, he immediately sensed something unusual about Kyle Keaton.
Listening to Susan Carter’s words, Kyle Keaton also squinted his eyes slightly.
Does this guy know him?
But why doesn’t he have any memory of this person?
Is it really as July Quinn said, they truly know each other, but Kyle Keaton forgot those details?
Or is this guy someone July Quinn brought in to collaborate with her in acting, making him believe she’s genuinely part of his life?
But given the current situation, Kyle Keaton couldn’t make a clear judgment.
So he also watched July Quinn, hoping to find the answer in her response.
But July Quinn’s answer was, "Don’t recognize each other? Then just get to know each other again, what’s so surprising about that."
As she spoke, she gracefully introduced them, "He’s my man, Kyle Keaton, and this is your son, Susan Carter."
Perhaps after having his worldview reshaped countless times around July Quinn, Susan Carter still maintained composure and greeted Kyle Keaton without panic.
But Kyle Keaton seemed unable to accept suddenly having a son older than him, his handsome face was incomprehensibly rigid.
Bianca White couldn’t possibly have foreseen a dramatic confrontation suddenly turning into a parent-child interaction.
Just as the two were at a loss, July Quinn’s phone rang.
July Quinn answered the phone, not knowing what the person said on the other end, her gaze suddenly swept over Bianca White.
"Alright, I’m heading over now."
Soon, July Quinn hung up the phone and left the restaurant with Susan Carter.
Kyle Keaton didn’t get to say much to July Quinn, and seeing her leave, he naturally followed quickly.
Bianca White watched their retreating backs one after another, feeling something was off with that last look from July Quinn.
At this moment, she also received a call from the Vanguard Corps Headquarters and hurried back.
