July Quinn paused for a moment before saying, "If you want to give yourself an air of importance, you need to be reasonable and justified. Otherwise, once discovered, you’ll be the one embarrassed."
Her tone was calm; it was more about teaching Upton the principles of conducting oneself in society than reprimanding him.
Upton humbly accepted, "Yes, yes, Her Majesty, July, you’re right. I’ll have my business cards changed back immediately."
"Mr. Upton! What’s going on here?"
Brandon White was bewildered for quite a while but ultimately couldn’t hold back from asking.
He brought Upton over to help embarrass July Quinn.
Yet now, Upton was kneeling and following July’s every order, leaving people utterly confused.
"Her Majesty, July, previously cured our King’s illness in Meridia. To thank her, our King announced that her status was equal to the King’s throne, making Her Majesty, July, effectively our other King of Meridia."
There was another point Upton didn’t explicitly mention.
In fact, the King’s successful ascension after recovering from illness also benefitted from July Quinn’s strategizing.
Subsequently, July Quinn entrusted her diamond mines to the King for management, providing a crucial source of economic income for the current Royal Family. ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by novel✦fire.net
So, to some extent, July Quinn is also the lifeline of the Meridia Royal Family.
How could one not respect their lifeline?
After hearing this, everyone suddenly understood why July Quinn’s proficiency in the Meridia language was so good—it was because she had visited Meridia and got along well with the Royal Family.
Yet, compared to others, Joy Quinn’s thoughts involuntarily drifted to the time at Lynch Manor when July Quinn mentioned knowing the King of Meridia to Howard Lynch.
Both Howard Lynch and she, Joy Quinn, had treated July Quinn’s words as a joke.
But now it seems that what July Quinn said back then was the absolute truth.
If they had paid a bit more attention after hearing it then, even if they didn’t forge a good relationship with July Quinn, as long as they didn’t antagonize her, linking up with people from Meridia would have been incredibly easy.
Now, Joy Quinn feels nothing but regret, endless regret!
Indeed, if it weren’t for rushing to reclaim the Quinn Group back then and tampering with July’s car to fatally harm her, given July Quinn’s close ties with the King of Meridia, marrying her into the Meridia Royal Family would have only taken a single word.
But there’s no regret medicine in the world.
The things that should and shouldn’t have been done—she did them all to July Quinn.
Does she still have a chance to return to July Quinn’s side, to be her most cherished sister?
When Joy Quinn glanced at July Quinn with a gaze full of remorse, July didn’t even spare her a look, only coldly keeping her eyes on Upton:
"Alright, they didn’t bring you here today to see you bow and scrape to me. You should first help them analyze whether the usage of my word was correct or not!"
"Of course, you were right. In Meridia, whether it’s the Royal Family or the entire Meridia citizenry, we firmly support Her Majesty, July..."
Without even thinking, Upton was ready to blindly flatter.
This was Her Majesty, July—if he dared to contradict her opinion outside and make her lose face, if word reached Meridia, could King Monroe possibly spare his life?
Unexpectedly, before he could finish speaking, July Quinn interrupted him.
"I don’t need empty praise, just accurate judgment."
With July Quinn’s words, Upton had to seriously and solemnly look at the usage of the vocabulary July Quinn had just explained.
Soon, Upton had an answer: "The usage of the word..."
