Chapter 1255: The Older, the Stinkier?
Perhaps knowing July Quinn’s plight, Kyle Keaton respected her decision.Before setting off, he hung the jade pendant he always wore around July Quinn’s neck.
"Grandma asked for this, hoping it will protect you and the child so you can return safely."
Listening to the man’s extremely husky voice, tears began welling up in July Quinn’s eyes.
"Okay."
After responding softly, she left without looking back.
Because she was afraid that if she delayed any longer, she would weakly sway towards her child and him, ignoring her mother’s life or death.
She couldn’t allow such a situation to happen.
Seeing this, Susan Carter hurriedly followed with her gear.
As soon as they left, Kyle Keaton dared not delay and quickly set out to meet up with Thomas Grant and the others.

Half an hour later, July Quinn, Susan Carter, and some members of the Alpha Mercenary Corps barged into the new Marsden Castle with brute force.
The old butler was frantic because he had never seen such a ferocious killing spree.
He quickly ran to the dining room to report to Joseph, "Sir, July Quinn is here, bringing members of the Alpha Mercenary Corps. They kill everyone they see, it’s really terrifying."
Yet Joseph wasn’t flustered at all, leisurely eating steak with Laura Quinn.
"Such a trivial matter frightened you like this, look at how calm Laura is, she’s dining calmly even with bombs strapped to her body."
The old butler hurried to look at Laura Quinn, indeed seeing a string of bombs tied to the waist of her elegant purple velvet dress.
Laura Quinn, however, acted as if nothing was amiss, elegantly cutting her steak and sipping the red wine Joseph had aerated.
"How’s the taste, Laura? I remember this is your favorite wine flavor."
Indeed, today Joseph had "invited" Laura Quinn to the castle, opened her favorite wine, and hired a chef to prepare her favorite steak.
Even the ham in the appetizer was her preferred brand.
"It’s okay, but lately I’ve been more into Riesling." Laura Quinn continued to eat her steak gracefully.
As with every time Joseph coerced her, she tried her best to remain calm.
Only this way could she better contend with Joseph and find a slim chance of survival.
But there was still a slip that revealed her anxiety.
When the old butler rushed in to report July Quinn’s armed intrusion, her knife accidentally scraped across the plate.
Yes, she worried July Quinn might fall into this dangerous trap as well.
She herself could take risks and could die.
But her daughter absolutely couldn’t!
She’s still so young, and she’s pregnant.
If she encounters danger here, what should she do?
Clearly, Joseph also noticed her anxiety through this.
Look at how smugly he smiles now?
"Riesling doesn’t keep well, after a while it has a gasoline taste. I think you wouldn’t like that taste."
"Yes, wine is like this. Some grow more fragrant as they age, others grow more foul. People are about the same..."
The elegant lady spoke with great artistry but could curse you viciously behind your back.
Sure enough, Joseph’s face slightly darkened.
How could he not know that Laura Quinn was mocking him for getting more rotten with age, only scheming against her, without any redeeming qualities?
"Laura, I’ve always thought I’ve been good to you, always indulging you no matter how willful you are. Any other man might not be able to do this."
Joseph nearly gritted his teeth.
For so many years, Laura Quinn refused to marry him, even unwilling to have any physical contact, and he always indulged her.
But in the end, this woman still despised him!
