Female Novel
Chapter 270 Reputation of a Noble Family
Elegiac couplets were used in grieving for the lost ones and also funeral rituals.
It was Old Master Quinn's birthday banquet, and they provided elegiac couplets as gifts.
That was clearly tearing the banquet apart!
Instantly, Kevin Quinn turned brutal and cruel.
“Bang!” He directly threw the gift box to the floor, the elegiac couplet inside were also dropped out.
Everyone saw the fuss.
All Quinn family descendants behind Kevin were also stunned.novelbin
Immediately, they were all raging.
The guests and servants of the Quinn family around were all shocked after seeing that scene.
All of a sudden, the atmosphere was frozen at the mansion front door.
There was a strong smell of war in the air.
“Yael Quinn, you bastard! The Quinn family does not haggle with you but how could you be so
arrogant! You even curse my grandpa in his birthday banquet, now get out of here!”
Kevin hooted angrily at him. If Jack Hughes was not beside Yael, he would have asked someone to
break both of his legs.
Yael smiled disdainfully.
Jack who was right next bend over slowly and put the couplet back into the gift box.
“This is the gift that I have prepared for Old Master Quinn. Master Kevin, are you getting rid of me as
well?”
Jack laughed banteringly and hand the gift box to Kevin again, his eyes were fierce.
What?!
Kevin and others were shocked at the same time.
Kevin gritted his teeth and tried to suppress his anger, “Master Hughes, you are the heir for the Hughes
family, the Quinn family respects you. At your wedding, my grandpa and I were there to congratulate
you. Now it is my grandpa’s birthday banquet and this is what you do in return?”
Even when he was trying so hard to keep it to his own, but his words were still piercingly cold.
“Don’t you know that?”
Jack seemed a bit shocked, his look suddenly turned dull, “Then ask your grandpa! Today, we are
going through this door to the Quinn family mansion. If you do not allow us, then we will fight through
it!”
His tone was sonorous and domineering.
After that, Jack strode heavily and headed directly towards the mansion.
Kevin's expression immediately turned unmerciful and wanted to stop him.
But Brent and Yael stepped forward together.
Brent’s towering physique instantly stopped Kevin from moving any steps.
Yael said with a chilly voice, “Do you want to let everyone know and ruin the birthday banquet?”
Kevin’s expression changed within a second and hummed indifferently.
He then turned back, leading a few Quinn family descendants, and walked into the mansion.
“Idiots.”
Yael smiled disdainfully.
Jack smiled and was going to enter the mansion with few other people.
Suddenly, there was a giggly shout coming from his behind.
“Yael!”
Yael was shocked and immediately turned over.
Jack, Brent, and Joe Hughes all stopped and looked backward.
They saw a young woman who was wearing a white dress was joyfully running towards them.
She straight away jumped into Yael’s arms and was smiling widely, “Yael, it’s been a long time since I
last saw you.”
“Come down Amelia. You have grown up so much and become heavy.” Yael pretended to be applying
a lot of effort.
Amelia squeezed her mouth and landed on the ground. She said aggrievedly, “You are heavy. I have
been losing weight lately, I am not heavy at all.”
“So what…”
Yael rolled his eyes, he held Amelia’s hands and walked to Jack, “Amelia, let me introduce you. This is
Jack, my friend.”
Then he told Jack, “This is my sister, Amelia.”
There was a trace of astonishment flickered through his eyes.
He smiled and shook hands with Amelia.
Amelia was cheerful, she called Jack by his name when they were shaking hands.
“Are you here to celebrate the birthday of that miserable old fool?” After all the introduction, Yael asked
with a low voice.
“Yes, but I am leaving after sending the gift.” The smile on Amelia’s face vanished, her look was
immensely dull.
Yael frowned, “It has been two years, that miserable old fool still wants you to obey the same rules?”
“Never mind, it was my fault back then, wasn’t it?”
Amelia shrugged her shoulders, she pretended that she was fine and smiled when she said that. But
everyone could tell the aggrievement and disappointment in her eyes.
Yael’s face turned grim and held Amelia’s hand, “Today, I am here. I will let you stay here all the way
until the banquet ends. No one will dare to kick you out!”
“Yael…” Amelia’s face changed slightly, she was a bit panic, “This, this is not a good thing, what if…”
“Do not worry about anything that might happen. You are the only younger sister I have in the Quinn
family.”
Yael’s expression was icy cold, his eyes were full of determination, “After the incident that happened to
my family, I am no longer involving myself in anything regarding the Quinn family. But your incident
happened two years ago, the Quinn family was still acting like that. Since I am here, then I am going to
protect you!”
His tone was firmed, it amazed Jack and Brent who were right next to him.
All the time, Yael gave people the impression that he was cynical, and he did not care about the Quinn
family.
But his sister just unexpectedly popped out of nowhere at the moment.
And it even frustrated Yael!
“About that, what exactly happened?” Jack asked curiously.
Yael held Amelia’s hand and headed into the mansion. At the same time, they told Jack the story.
Formerly, Amelia was very outstanding. Right after she turned 18, she went to study at a university but
simultaneously ran a company that she had just established. She ran her company so impressive that it
has shown a trend that they could dominate the market of X city.
With her talent, she could be the greatest elite in the younger generation of the Quinn family.
But two years ago, Amelia was in a relationship. Perhaps it was her first relationship or she was just too
young. They ended up married very quickly and had a family together.
But the man had a poor family but the Quinn family did not allow women to marry men with lower social
status. They thought it was embarrassing, so they forced the man to marry into the family and became
a live-in son-in-law.
Unfortunately, the man quickly could not withstand the pressure and aggrievement of being a live-in
son-in-law. Soon, he chose to divorce Amelia.
A marriage with only two months!
When Amelia still had not recovered from the pain of divorce, the Quinn family thought the divorce was
too embarrassing. So for the sake of the Quinn family reputation, not only they snatched Amelia’s
company, they even treated her like a foreigner. Whenever there were any events, she could attend but
could not stay too long!
Amelia was not on the direct line of the Quinn family descendants, the resources she got were limited
so establishing a company was completely relying on her own abilities. Because of her abilities, she
could still grab some attention in the Quinn family. But the divorce just entirely shattered everything she
had built.
Even when they summarized the whole story, Jack was still able to understand everything.
Wasn’t it similar to Yael’s encounter?
They sympathized with each other as they had the same encounters. No wonder Yael was so
outrageous about this.
But Jack still found the whole thing to be funny.
The Quinn family really made their actions despicable enough just to save their face.
Amelia had already established her own company at the age of 18. She even strove to make her
company the best in the market. With her skills and some extra training, Amelia could be the future elite
of the Quinn family.
But contrary to what was expected, the Quinn family did not appoint Amelia despite her merits. They
chose to save their so called reputation instead.
Was reputation that important for the noble families or giant companies?
Jack realized when Yael was telling the story, Amelia looked extremely frustrated and depressed. But
there were unwillingness and anger in her eyes.
Obviously, deep down in her heart, she still cared about it even when she kept acting like she did not
care at all.
“Jack, please do not intervene with this. Amelia will be staying with us today!”
Yael unexpectedly became resolute, “I wanted to see which idiot from the Quinn family dares to kick my
sister out today.”
Jack smiled casually while patted Amelia’s shoulder.
“Let’s go, we are right here. Today not even Old Master Quinn would dare to kick you out!”
