"Honey, where are you going? Sneaking off to fool around behind my back?"
Kyle Keaton turned around and saw July Quinn.
She wrapped her slender arm around his, clutching him tightly, as if declaring her sovereignty.
"Shouldn’t I be the one asking you that, wifey?"
Such tricks where the guilty party acts as the accuser, Kyle Keaton had seen plenty, so he remained unmoved, rely raising an eyebrow and regarding her coldly.
Appearing at the elevator now, was she preparing to go upstairs to see Nathan Jacobs?
The implications of a man and woman eting in a hotel guest room were obvious.
July Quinn: "..."
Her too-convenient husband seed to have ulterior motives every ti he called her "wifey."
Otherwise, why did it always send shivers down her spine?
"I’m not going to fool around, asking won’t help you."
She adamantly denied it, her eyes striking an innocent look.
Just thinking about her wearing that innocent face while taphorically "greening" him, Kyle Keaton felt even more disgusted.
He was about to reach out and pull away July Quinn’s hand, the one now unclear how many tis it had touched Nathan Jacobs, when he heard the woman say, "You’re here just in ti, do a favor."
"What favor?" The man snapped back.
Only to see the woman slipping a small card into his hand.
"Make a call for ."
Kyle Keaton made no response, his attention entirely captured by the small card in his hand.

At the birthday banquet—
Nathan Jacobs’ mother, Evelyn Riley, held Nina Quinn’s hand, her tone becoming noticeably more intimate.
"Nina, once Grandpa finishes his speech, you and Nathan go on stage, exchange rings, and then toast everyone, alright?"
Nina Quinn nodded absentmindedly.
"What’s wrong?"
Nina Quinn still didn’t respond, but anyone could see she was in low spirits.
Evelyn Riley naturally guessed that Nina Quinn was upset because Nathan Jacobs tried to embarrass July Quinn and Kyle Keaton today, but ended up making a fool of himself.
However, in her view, there was nothing that could be done about it.
Who could have imagined that such an unremarkable assistant would turn out to be the mysterious boss of Regalscape Group?
Moreover, who would have thought that July Quinn, who had previously lost the Quinn Family inheritance rights, would transform and beco close with the boss of Regalscape Group?
If she had known earlier, Evelyn Riley wouldn’t have pushed Nathan Jacobs to break up with July Quinn.
"By the way, where is Nathan?"
Having eaten more salt than these youngsters had rice, Evelyn Riley knew that once so things were done, they could only move forward and plan the rest slowly.
The most crucial thing right now was to handle what was in front of them to avoid further embarrassnt.
She directly ignored Nina Quinn’s quickly falling face and inquired about Nathan Jacobs’ whereabouts.
But it would have been better if she hadn’t asked about Nathan.
As soon as she ntioned him, Nina Quinn’s mind returned to his earlier sarcastic remarks over the phone, and her eyes imdiately reddened.
"How would I know? He said he was going to the restroom. It’s been half an hour now. Who knows if he fell in, or if he ran away because he was ashad of himself."
"That’s, that’s impossible, right?" Evelyn Riley was startled.
After being publicly humiliated in the opening act today, it was already extrely embarrassing.
If Nathan Jacobs pulled a stunt like running away from the engagent, the face issue aside, they could never hold their heads up high again in front of Old Master Jacobs.
"Why not? His phone’s been unreachable since earlier."
Nina Quinn continued, "Since he doesn’t want to get engaged, there’s no need for to foolishly wait here either."
She didn’t want to continue with this engagent in the first place.
It was too embarrassing!
And now Nathan Jacobs’ disappearance gave her an excuse.
Nina Quinn said this and started to walk out.
Evelyn Riley hurriedly stopped her, "Dear Nina, this must be so misunderstanding. Wait, I’ll find that brat and make him apologize to you right away."
While blocking Nina Quinn, Evelyn Riley also contacted the butler, "Get soone to find him! No matter what it takes, bind him and bring him to the birthday banquet."
The commotion quickly caught the attention of Old Master Jacobs and others.
"What’s happening?" Old Master Jacobs, his old friends, and Miles Jacobs ca forward.
"Dad, it’s nothing..."
"What do you an nothing? I heard you tell the butler to find Nathan. What’s that boy up to now?"
Old Master Jacobs asked irritably.
"He..."
Evelyn Riley’s mind raced, attempting to co up with an excuse to cover for Nathan Jacobs.
However, before she could give any reason, a waiter approached hurriedly: "Are you looking for Master Jacobs? He seed quite unwell and is resting in room 886."
