Don't Fall For Me, CEO-Chapter 973: A Cuckoo in the Nest?

"Should I not have come back and let her take over?"

July Quinn looked playfully at Evan Zachary.

Evan was at a loss for words for a moment.

Just as July had said, Yvonne wasn’t Richard Donovan’s biological daughter. To The Donovan Family, she was indeed like a cuckoo in a magpie’s nest.

But she had already lived in The Donovan Family for twenty years, so much so that everyone, including Old Master Donovan, forgot she was the cuckoo.

As expected, July’s words left not only Evan in deep thought, but even Old Master Donovan was at a loss for words. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

"Evan, enough! Since it was all a misunderstanding, today’s incident is not to be brought up again!"

Richard Donovan began to take charge of the situation.

After scolding Evan, he instructed the servants, "Take good care of this cat. If there’s any problem, you’ll be held responsible."

Then he turned to Yvonne Donovan, "July has never objected to you staying at The Donovan Family. If you insist on leaving, I won’t stop you."

Old Master Donovan wanted to speak in Yvonne’s defense, but Richard’s gaze suddenly fell on him, full of warning.

Old Master Donovan knew that Richard used to be very filial, but ever since he married Jenna Sawyer as per his wishes, only for the whole world to know of his cuckoldry, causing his biological daughter and lover to wander outside, he had changed.

Although he was still polite to him on the surface, he always felt that one day Richard would break free from his control.

Especially now that Richard was warning Yvonne, his gaze seemed to tell Old Master Donovan that if he intervened and caused chaos at home, he should not blame him for being ruthless.

Seeing the implication, Old Master Donovan no longer spoke.

Yvonne Donovan was also too scared by Richard’s reprimand to cry. She couldn’t count on Evan, as he wasn’t a member of The Donovan Family.

So all her hopes were pinned on Old Master Donovan, hoping he would speak a few words for her.

In the end, Old Master Donovan remained silent for a long time.

At this point, Yvonne could only swallow her pride.

Because she also realized that Richard’s words were not just a simple warning.

If she cried or caused a scene again, he was likely to kick her out of The Donovan Family tonight.

After all, she wasn’t his biological daughter, so he wouldn’t indulge her like before.

Yvonne felt very aggrieved and secretly vowed to repay all the humiliation she suffered today one day.

Finally, Yvonne became quiet, and Richard invited July Quinn inside to finish their meal.

But July said, "I’m not hungry, I’ll head back first."

"But it’s so cold outside..."

Richard wanted to persuade her, but July left without looking back.

Richard knew that today, with Yvonne causing such a fuss, July’s heart was hurt once again...

"Liam, do you think it’s normal for someone who once loved madly to suddenly be with someone else?"

After leaving The Donovan Family, July immediately met Liam Monroe at a bar.

She swirled her glass, her eyes devoid of light.

"What’s wrong? Did he cheat on you?"

"Not exactly cheating, but he suddenly allowed another woman to get close to him, and he seems to be repulsed by me."

July carefully recalled what she saw that day at the mall.

Kyle Keaton let Bianca White place her hand in the crook of his arm, which would have been impossible in the past.

Though Bianca was his childhood friend and one of his bodyguards, he had never let her get close before.

Moreover, he had fallen out with Bianca before this.

Suddenly, the two of them staged such a scene, leaving July completely bewildered.
