"July, my dad’s personality probably doesn’t suit such flashy colors."
Shelly Cole followed July Quinn’s pointing finger and saw the yellow briefcase, then couldn’t help but laugh.
"How do you know it doesn’t suit him if you haven’t given it a try?"
July Quinn thought, your dad is actually more frivolous than you think.
But should she really say such a thing?
If she doesn’t say anything, their family could continue to get along harmoniously.
But if she speaks up, it could lead to utter chaos.
"July?" Shelly Cole seed to sense that July Quinn was feeling off, and she handed the two briefcases she was holding to the salesperson, then approached July, linking arms with her.
"What’s wrong? Are you unhappy?"
"I’m not unhappy." July Quinn closed her eyes, thinking that the person who should be unhappy wasn’t her.
As a friend, she truly didn’t know whether she should say anything about it.
But holding it back felt unfair to Shelly Cole and her mother.
No one in this world would want to live a lifeti being deceived.
"Shelly, how are things between your mom and dad?"
"My mom and dad?" Shelly Cole was a bit surprised by July Quinn’s question, which suddenly shifted the topic directly to her parents.
But after the surprise, she honestly answered, "They’re doing well together, why?"
"Really?" If the marriage was truly good, would Franklin Yates be fooling around outside?
"Really, my mom and dad went through a lot of obstacles to be together. It was only after that my grandpa allowed them to be together," Shelly said proudly.
From Shelly Cole, July Quinn learned that Franklin Yates was originally one of the first batch of students from the countryside to attend university in the city.
Her mother had t Franklin Yates during their university years, fell in love, and decided to spend the rest of their lives together.
But Elder Cole was not optimistic about Franklin Yates and once even confined Shelly’s mother to prevent them from seeing each other.
Unexpectedly, the two eloped to the countryside fervently.
By the ti Elder Cole found them again, Shelly Cole had already been born.
Left with no choice, Elder Cole agreed to let them be together.
To show gratitude for Elder Cole’s concession, Franklin Yates promised to marry into the Cole family and let their child take the Cole surna.
In fact, Franklin Yates did fulfill all his promises, and over the years, the couple had been very much in love, showing respect to Elder Cole as well.
As a result, Elder Cole gradually handed over the Cole family’s business to Franklin Yates.
After listening to Shelly Cole’s account, July Quinn asked, "So the Cole family’s business is now mostly under your dad’s control?"
Seeing Franklin Yates earlier with Willow Young in such a nauseating manner, July Quinn couldn’t help but question his original motivation to marry into the Cole family.
"Not all, but nearly all of it is in our family’s hands," Shelly Cole replied, a hint of doubt in her voice. "July, why are you asking all these?"
"I’m just curious," July Quinn said.
July Quinn decided to first investigate Franklin Yates before deciding whether to directly tell Shelly Cole about her suspicions.
As for the briefcase, Shelly Cole ended up buying the black one.
But regarding Franklin Yates’ birthday party, July Quinn chose not to attend.
She feared that if she saw Franklin Yates’ hypocritical face, she might not be able to resist confronting him.

In the blink of an eye, it was the next day!
This day was July Quinn’s first ti attending ridia’s language class for the entire school.
Early in the morning, almost all the students who chose ridia’s language course gathered in the school’s main auditorium.
Willow Young also ca to class early, but she wasn’t interested in the course content.
Her primary goal was to show off her new Hers bag.
