As soon as Richard Donovan finished speaking, almost everyone was stunned.
Especially Yvonne Donovan!
Because when Richard said, "Whoever dares disrespect her, don’t bla 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 punishnts.
Yvonne was imdiately flustered.
"Dad, what do you an? How did July Quinn beco a mber of our family?"
The status of the Donovan Family was exceedingly noble, akin to The Royals in ancient tis, demanding three kneels and nine bows from anyone they t.
But how could soone 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 sothing 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 imdiately scolded:
"Richard, if you want soone, 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 seed 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 . 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 ho was intended to openly keep a mistress.
Though their marriage was now in na 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 ho 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 ashad 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 imdiately hooking up with my dad. What, are the n in their pri 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 sa blood running through her as July...
Ultimately, July did not throw a punch.
Yet the expectation in her eyes faded significantly at that mont.
The harmonious and warm new ho she once hoped for, with deep affection among family mbers, now seed 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 imdiately slap Yvonne across the face.
"You brute, stop spouting nonsense. July is my daughter, my biological daughter!"
