Don't Fall For Me, CEO-Chapter 954: Thinner Than Paper

"July, this isn’t my intention. I..."

Richard Donovan didn’t want to go against Old Master Donovan’s decision; he just feared hurting Yvonne’s feelings.

After all, they’ve been father and daughter for so many years; some feelings aren’t so easy to take back completely.

This made his explanation now seem a bit pale and powerless.

"It doesn’t matter. Is there anything else you want to tell me today?"

Only when July Quinn brought it up did Richard Donovan remember what he said to keep July before he went to gather his other brothers.

"I plan to throw you a grand party, announcing to everyone that you’re back with me."

Since confirming July Quinn’s identity, this party had always been part of Richard’s plan.

It’s just that so many things happened in between that he hadn’t formally proposed it until now.

July Quinn frowned slightly, just about to refuse.

She never liked parties and would not attend unless necessary.

But she didn’t have the chance to decline when Old Master Donovan suddenly chimed in, "Yes, a party is a good idea. Just as well, I can use this opportunity to show everyone that even though Yvonne isn’t blood-related to Richard, she’s still a part of the Donovan Family. Bullying her means going against all of us."

As Old Master Donovan said this, he deliberately looked at July Quinn.

This made July feel that the so-called bullies of Yvonne were referring to her.

"Dad..."

Richard Donovan was slightly annoyed, wanting the old master to retract this decision.

How could he not see that Old Master Donovan was currently not on friendly terms with July Quinn?

So, he wanted to use this party as an opportunity to pressure July Quinn.

But just as he hurriedly tried to express his viewpoint, July said, "As long as you’re happy!"

Richard looked at July, somewhat confused.

But Old Master Donovan sternly rebuked Richard, "The person involved isn’t objecting, so why are you interfering?"

As for Yvonne, she couldn’t be happier.

Really, everything today went so smoothly that even she found it unbelievable.

Initially, she just planned to secure her status as an adopted daughter in the Donovan Family, and then feign being bullied by someone from the circle, prompting Old Master Donovan to throw a party to publicly acknowledge her identity.

Yet, without having to play the victim, everything unfolded as she envisioned.

So that night, she happily reported this to Jenna Sawyer.

[Mom, I didn’t expect everything to go so smoothly! Plus, I feel like Uncle and the others are treating me even better than before!]

[Smooth is good. But you still need to be cautious, remember not to blurt out everything you think like before. Without the blood relationship now, even the slightest trouble could turn their affection for you into disdain.]

[Impossible, right? I feel they’re treating me quite well!]

[Their kindness is based on past sentiments. Those sentiments are now thinner than paper, easily broken with a poke.] 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Yvonne looked at her mother’s message, her eyes darkened considerably.

Soon, a new message from her mother arrived.

[So your current task is not only to stabilize your position in the Donovan Family but also to find an opportunity to use the old man’s influence to topple July Quinn...]

Thus, mother and daughter began scheming how to exploit Old Master’s situation.

At the same time, July Quinn appeared in the president’s office of Apex Tower, smiling enticingly.

"What do you say, Lord Keaton?"
