Meanwhile, over at Bianca’s side...
Actually, the moment she saw July Quinn appear, she was quite taken aback.
Why is this woman everywhere?
Moreover, the instant she saw Lord Keaton’s gaze fall on July, her heart skipped a beat.
Because the look Lord Keaton gave July just now seemed like a silent signal, indicating to everyone that the reason he’s here this time is to find July.
But Bianca quickly dismissed that thought.
Lord Keaton specially appeared at this opening ceremony, and it wasn’t to find her, his childhood friend, Bianca. How could he be here for July, who has nothing to do with him?
He’s definitely not here for July!
As for the gaze Lord Keaton cast on July, it’s likely because he was attracted by her bizarre outfit.
How shameless can this wretch July Quinn be?
Lord Keaton doesn’t care for her, yet she’s using eccentric outfits to attract him?
Does she see Lord Keaton as a frivolous man who’s easily swayed by such clothes?
While Bianca was disdainfully criticizing July inside and out, she didn’t realize that her cousin Roman Kidd’s gaze was also on July.
This is the same woman who fought with him over a pack of instant noodles, hit his nose until it turned purple, and couldn’t cover it with concealer on the interview the next day?
What’s going on today?
Is she afraid people might know she’s a violent giant, so she purposely dresses cutely to mislead everyone?
But while cursing this femme fatale, Roman couldn’t help but recall the moment when July took the initiative to wrap her arms around his neck, pressing her lips close—reminiscing about July’s image from his dream that night.
It seems to resemble the dress July is wearing today.
In the dream, she even called out to him, "Brother Roman..."
On the other side, after Shelly Cole got out of the car with July, seeing numerous eyes on July made her chuckle.
"July, July, look at the outfit I picked for you. It’s breathtakingly beautiful!"
July forced an awkward smile.
She really didn’t think the outfit looked great, only that wearing it was extremely embarrassing.
"Alright, hurry up and get the luggage you want; I’ll help you carry it up."
They weren’t attending the opening ceremony, so they headed directly to the inn within the lodge.
Originally, the hotel was accessible by car, but due to today’s event, the security informed them all vehicles must park halfway up the hill.
Thus, carrying luggage to the top would be impossible for Shelly Cole.
But for July, this was a piece of cake.
"Oh, oh! I’ll take this one and this one!"
Shelly pointed to two suitcases, both filled with clothes for July.
She noticed how much July hated the outfit, so she didn’t dare suggest she change.
Perhaps wait a few days.
Wait until July is in a better mood before asking her to wear something else.
Once Shelly decided on the suitcases to bring, July stepped up.
Thus, people saw the chubby girl who looked strong walking empty-handed up the mountain.
While the slender, seemingly frail girl was lugging two huge suitcases uphill.
Many wanted to play heroes, but Brandon White was the first to rush forward.
"July Quinn, let me help you. How come you’re also attending the Hawthorne Family’s lodge opening today? Did Master Hawthorne invite you? I remember you and Master Hawthorne attended the same school."
"Do you have time next weekend? How about we study Meridia’s literary materials together at the library?"
Brandon’s eagerness towards July left everyone bewildered.
Especially Bianca, she never expected her usually reserved cousin Brandon to be so talkative.
Besides Bianca, Roman narrowed his eyes slightly.
Although he hadn’t interacted much with Brandon, he knew a bit about Brandon’s disposition, thanks to Bianca often bringing him to the Kidd Family. But Brandon has always had high standards, seemingly uninterested in any women, so why today...
Could it be that this woman did the same thing to Brandon as she did to Roman?
While Roman’s mind was blocked by these thoughts, Kyle Keaton suddenly walked towards July Quinn.
