CHAPTER 900: CHAPTER 900: IS IT AN ILLUSION?

"I thought she had some hidden talent, turns out it’s just gambling."

Yvonne Donovan knew how much Old Master Donovan hated gamblers, so she felt slightly relieved.

However, she did not forget to diss July Quinn.

"Even though being lucky is a skill of sorts, if you get hooked on gambling, your life is ruined. Just like Second Uncle back then!"

As expected, upon hearing this, Old Master Donovan kept sighing endlessly.

"How did the Donovan Family produce another gambler? It’s truly a family misfortune."

Quentin hurriedly explained, afraid that Old Master Donovan would misunderstand.

"Grandfather, July isn’t addicted to gambling. She only played three games at the casino. After over-accomplishing the task you gave her in those three games, she left."

"She only played three games? Then how did she win seventy million?"

"It seems she can understand the sound of dice being thrown. During one of the bridge dice games, she made an accurate prediction and didn’t bet."

Old Master Donovan listened and remained silent for a long time.

If what Quentin said was true, then July was more remarkable than any of his previous grandchildren.

In that case, acknowledging her as a descendant of the Donovan Family could indeed bring honor to the family.

But then, Yvonne burst out laughing.

When Old Master Donovan and Quentin turned to look at Yvonne, she seemed to have heard the funniest joke ever, clutching her stomach and half-squatting on the ground.

"Yvonne?"

Under their astonished gazes, Yvonne suddenly stopped laughing, as if the person who was laughing till they were short of breath wasn’t her at all.

"July Quinn just performed a sleight of hand for you, and you really fell for it!"

Before Yvonne’s voice even faded, Quentin countered her.

"A sleight of hand? No, it couldn’t have been a sleight of hand. I carefully watched the entire time, and besides, many people at the casino witnessed it firsthand."

"It’s indeed impossible for July alone to perform a perfect sleight of hand. But what if everyone else in the casino was her accomplice?"

"How could July, an orphan, pull off something so elaborate?"

"She might be an orphan, but she has Lord Keaton behind her."

Yvonne’s words caught Old Master Donovan and Quentin by surprise.

"July is Lord Keaton’s woman, and although I don’t know the extent of their relationship, as far as I know, Lord Keaton treats July very well. But it’s unclear what exactly Lord Keaton seeks from July. Still, if Lord Keaton wanted to help her set up this scheme, it would be effortless, since he’s rumored to be closely associated with the mysterious woman who owns the casino."

On the casino’s opening night, many people witnessed Lord Keaton being intimate with that mysterious woman.

This had already spread within the society of Esteria.

Although no one from the Donovan Family attended that night, they had heard about it.

If Kyle Keaton truly wanted to help July, it could definitely be done.

As for what Kyle Keaton desires from July by treating her so well?

Maybe it’s her youth and beauty, or maybe he wants to use her to learn everything about the Donovan Family...

People across Esteria feared Lord Keaton, not just for his decisive actions and control over the national economy, but also because two years ago, he quietly destroyed a prominent family in Esteria.

Perhaps, Lord Keaton’s intentions this time are to swallow up the Donovan Family?

This thought sent a cold sweat down Old Master Donovan’s spine.

"If that’s the case, then we definitely can’t let July Quinn onto the Donovan Family’s genealogy."

Old Master Donovan further instructed, "Quentin, give a card to July, just like the money she won through gambling doesn’t count, and tell her not to let her thoughts wander into crooked paths."
