CHAPTER 875: CHAPTER 875: BIOLOGICAL DAUGHTER

As soon as Richard Donovan finished speaking, almost everyone was stunned.

Especially Yvonne Donovan!

Because when Richard said, "Whoever dares disrespect her, don’t blame me for being ruthless!" his gaze fell on her.

Obviously, this "whoever" specifically referred to her, Yvonne Donovan.

If she dared to disrespect July Quinn, Richard wouldn’t just scold her like before; he would also impose restrictions on her, and possibly even more severe punishments.

Yvonne was immediately flustered.

"Dad, what do you mean? How did July Quinn become a member of our family?"

The status of the Donovan Family was exceedingly noble, akin to The Royals in ancient times, demanding three kneels and nine bows from anyone they met.

But how could someone like July Quinn, a lowly country woman, have the qualification to stand on equal footing with them?

The key issue was that her father had repeatedly disciplined her because of July Quinn, which was something Yvonne absolutely could not tolerate.

So she couldn’t let July Quinn into the Donovan Family; she had to take advantage of everyone’s presence to force her father to kick July Quinn out!

But it wasn’t just Yvonne who wanted to kick July Quinn out.

Old Master Donovan also disliked this woman who made his beloved granddaughter cry, and immediately scolded:

"Richard, if you want someone, it’s simple. Keep her outside and no one will mind. But bringing her into the family so publicly, have you thought about the impact? Those watching you will surely use this as an opportunity to make a fuss."

Indeed, July Quinn was very beautiful.

Even when everyone was wearing puffy winter clothes, this woman in a long haze-blue cotton coat still had a striking figure that inevitably led one to have certain thoughts.

Richard Donovan’s wife, Yvonne’s mother, Jenna Sawyer also seemed to have thought of this.

She, who seldom talked to Richard, said a few rare words with him today.

"If you wanted to take on a goddaughter, you could’ve discussed it with me. There’s no need to make such a big deal out of it."

She glanced at Richard, her eyes laden with venom.

Yes, she also thought that Richard bringing such a beautiful woman like July Quinn home was intended to openly keep a mistress.

Though their marriage was now in name only, she knew the arrival of July Quinn would make her position even more awkward.

So she wanted to use the term "goddaughter" to gloss over the situation, making everything look better for everyone.

Yet unexpectedly, Richard countered, "Who told you I brought July Quinn home to make her my goddaughter?"

Implicitly stating that his relationship with July Quinn would definitely not be limited to that of a foster father and daughter.

This made Jenna Sawyer’s smile even stiffer, and Yvonne Donovan outrightly shouted:

"If you don’t want her as a goddaughter, are you planning on being with her as a May-December couple? Aren’t you ashamed at your age?"

Seeing her most concerned family relationship on the verge of being destroyed, Yvonne Donovan completely lost control.

So not only did she accuse Richard but also cursed at July Quinn:

"And you, claiming to be Lord Keaton’s wife and then immediately hooking up with my dad. What, are the men in their prime not enough for you, and you’re not planning to let the older ones go either?"

July Quinn’s fists itched.

The last person who cursed her so recklessly before was likely now lying beneath grass taller than a person at their grave.

But Yvonne Donovan had the same blood running through her as July...

Ultimately, July did not throw a punch.

Yet the expectation in her eyes faded significantly at that moment.

The harmonious and warm new home she once hoped for, with deep affection among family members, now seemed out of reach.

Her change in expression did not escape the notice of Richard Donovan, who had been watching her all along, prompting him to immediately slap Yvonne across the face.

"You brute, stop spouting nonsense. July is my daughter, my biological daughter!"
