Chapter 748
โSo Quentin, since you have chosen her, please do not come to recognize me as your sister in the future, so as not to make everyone unhappy.โ
โBut you were my only sister, my closest kin.โ
โBut who would harm their own loved ones like that? You donโt know. When Ralda gave birth, it was very dangerous, almost a matter of life and death.โ
Quentinโs expression changed, looking at me with guilt and tenderness.
I pulled Vonnieโs hand, signaling her not to speak anymore.
Vonnie said.
She angrily said, โIf it werenโt for you framing her like that in the first place, she would have definitely stayed by Reynaldoโs side peacefully, and there wouldnโt have been such a critical situation during childbirth.โ
Ralda and the babies were lucky; nothing happened.
โIf something really happened, you, as the older brother, will feel guilty for the rest of your life.โ
Quentin was stiff all over, with his hand trembling slightly at his side.
I pulled Vonnie and said, โThereโs no need to say so much to him, letโs go.โ
I didnโt look at Quentin anymore and took Vonnie elsewhere.
Vonnie huffed and said, โQuentin is deliberately trying to annoy us. He knows how much we dislike Kimberly, yet he still brought her in front of us.โ
I looked at her carefully and was surprised to find that, apart from anger, there was not much sadness on her face.
This is a good thing; it proves that she has slowly let go of her feelings for Quentin.
Vonnie said, โThere is still a lot of delicious food over there. Iโll go get some and you wait here for me.โ
โOkay.โ
I looked around the banquet hall.
The entire banquet hall was bright and luxurious, with a dazzling display of jewels and treasures.
There were many people coming, but after looking around carefully, I didnโt see Reynaldo.
Did he not come?
Do I have to go back to Freybourne to find him?
Just as I was thinking, suddenly there came a burst of arguing from beside me.
I followed the sound and saw that Vonnie was arguing with a man.
I hurried over and realized that the man was actually Johnathan.
If Johnathan were here, did Reynaldo also come?
โIt was you who bumped into me first; how can you say that I bumped into you?โ Vonnie blushed and argued.
Johnathan said angrily and awkwardly, โI was walking normally, and you cut in front of me. And youโre saying itโs not your fault? Where did you spill the drink on me? The banquet had just begun; how do you expect me to continue like this?"
โGoodness, every time I run into you, nothing good ever happens!โ
โYouโre a jinx; your whole family is a jinx!โ Vonnie said, her chest heaving with anger, her face flushed red.
I looked back at Johnathan and saw that the drink had just spilled onto his crotch, leaving a large wet spot there.
Well, it was quite embarrassing.
Johnathan came with a female companion, and at that moment, the companion cooed to Johnathan, saying, โMr. Dunlap, look at her, isnโt she just a third-rate little star? How dare she say your whole family is cursed; sheโs got some nerve."
Johnathan gritted his teeth and glared at Vonnie with hatred.
I hurried over and smiled at Johnathan, saying, โMr. Dunlap, long time no see. So, have you changed your female companion again?โ
As soon as I finished speaking, the female companion proudly straightened her chest and lifted her chin high.
I laughed and said, โOh, Mr. Dunlapโs taste is getting worse and worse. This one, in terms of looks, figure, and temperament, is not as good as the previous one.โ
