CHAPTER 74: CHAPTER 74: MOVE WITH EMOTION

As July Quinn drew near, the faint scent that clung to her surrounded Kyle Keaton’s nose, stimulating all his senses.

A sense of excitement, faint and elusive.

Kyle Keaton simply shifted his gaze away from her face, "It’s broad daylight, and you’re dreaming?"

Seeing July Quinn’s big eyes still fixed on him, he added, "Wait, I’ll have someone bring you a new outfit. Going out dressed like this, what kind of formality is that?"

July Quinn glanced down at her stretched buttons and then suddenly smirked mischievously.

"I see, hubby, you’re actually jealous, huh? Afraid someone else will see your little territory!"

"You’re overthinking it."

Kyle Keaton ignored July Quinn and directly called Miles Jacobs to have someone bring a new trial uniform.

As for what July Quinn had just said about jealousy...

How could that be?

He wasn’t crazy enough to develop possessiveness over a woman he’d just met!

Yes!

He was just worried that someone else would be misled by this woman; that was all.

About half an hour later, Miles Jacobs entered Kyle Keaton’s office again.

July Quinn wasn’t there.

After some consideration, Miles Jacobs spoke.

"Lord Keaton, although I know I shouldn’t say this, this is still a company. You and Mrs. Keaton shouldn’t go too far."

Just recently, after July Quinn entered Kyle Keaton’s office and requested a new trial employee uniform, the news had grown wings and spread to every corner of the company.

Even though Miles Jacobs had warned the person he sent not to blab.

But Miles Jacobs’s kind reminder was met with a man’s cold rebuff: "Did you see me playing?"

Clearly, he was the one being seduced, wasn’t he?

Now, being chastised for it, Kyle Keaton felt somewhat frustrated.

"Didn’t see, I saw nothing."

Miles Jacobs quickly revised his words.

Seeing Kyle Keaton angry, he immediately denied everything.

As for principles and all that, let them go to hell.

After all, in front of the financial supporter, none of that matters.

"You and Mrs. Keaton can do as you please, I’ll make sure no one talks behind your backs, ruining your reputation."

"Go. Don’t just stand there!"

"Alright then."

Jacobs Tower Lobby—

Nathan Jacobs hurried along.

Because early this morning he received a lawyer’s letter from July Quinn.

The slander campaign he had instigated against July Quinn online had already been filed.

The case had garnered significant attention.

Nathan Jacobs knew that if he lost, the repercussions would be even greater.

After receiving the letter, he reached out to more than ten law firms in Westmarch.

Though these firms weren’t as renowned as Lucas Law Firm, they ranked among the top ten in Westmarch.

If they could take on his case, there might be a chance of winning.

But none of these firms were willing to accept a case against Lucas Law Firm, regardless of the fee offered.

Because Lucas Law Firm’s success rate was too high, no one wanted their records marred.

Out of options, Nathan Jacobs had to seek help from his uncle and ask the Jacobs Group legal team for assistance.

Though he certainly expected a scolding from Miles Jacobs, it was better than facing online backlash.

"Mr. Jacobs is in his office; you can go up now."

Nathan Jacobs, previously employed at the Jacobs Group, was recognized by the receptionist as Miles Jacobs’s nephew and was not asked to make an appointment.

Upon receiving approval, Nathan Jacobs turned towards the elevator lobby.

But he hadn’t walked far before he noticed a familiar figure.

"July Quinn?"

July Quinn, holding a stack of documents, was heading towards another elevator.

Nathan Jacobs noticed she was still wearing a trial employee uniform from the Jacobs Group, his eyebrows rose slightly.

Wasn’t she working as a planner at Wisteria TV? Why was she back at the Jacobs Group?

Could it be that his online smear campaign had taken effect?

Was she kicked out of Wisteria TV?

That must be it.

That’s why she’s now a trial employee at the Jacobs Group?

Watching July Quinn enter the elevator, Nathan Jacobs hurriedly followed.

"July, we need to talk."

Upon hearing the familiar voice, July Quinn looked up.

Though reluctant to admit it, seeing that familiar handsome face caused a slight pang in July Quinn’s chest.

Nathan Jacobs looked at her sincerely, "Can you drop the charges? It was my fault, I shouldn’t have put that stuff online."

July Quinn didn’t respond, she merely stared silently at the stack of documents in her hands.

Nathan Jacobs was poised to appeal emotionally and reason with her.

"July, these past days I’ve called you many times, sent countless messages, but you blocked me..."
