Chapter 588: Ivy Wilmar Wished She Could Give Ghania Quinlan Two Slaps in the Face_1
Nathalie Quinlan looked up at him with gentle outlines, seeming not so repelled anymore, as if she had gradually gotten accustomed to his way of interacting and didn’t treat him as an outsider. She shook her head and said, "No need, there are plenty of flights from McKinney to Beijing. I can buy one myself."
As she spoke, she paused for a moment, then added, "He might have already bought the airplane tickets for me. I’ll see when the time comes."
To help someone buy airplane tickets, one needs to know that person’s name and ID information. Amadeus Yancey didn’t know how closely that ’friend’ of hers was related to her—even knowing her ID number seemed quite dangerous. His eyes narrowed slightly, but he didn’t say anything; he just spoke in a warm voice, "If you need help, just let me know. Alfred Garland is experienced in booking flights; he can even get tickets for flights that are sold out."
Nathalie Quinlan remembered the last time she and Justin Wafford flew back from Beijing. It was the situation he had just mentioned—there were no more airplane tickets available, yet he managed to upgrade her economy class ticket to first class. She only found out about his private arrangement for the upgrade when she received her ticket.
Warming at the thought, Nathalie Quinlan didn’t stand on ceremony but nodded naturally, "OK, I’ll let you know if not."
Amadeus Yancey watched as she let her guard down around him, his thin lips curling up slightly, and he didn’t say anything more.
The car quietly headed towards the villa.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the Quinlan family was unbearably heavy.
Ivy Wilmar sat on the sofa with a long face, not uttering a word.
With her silent, neither Jeff Quinlan nor Emilia Sullivan dared to speak. After all, Ghania had stirred up a real mess out of her own selfish desires. Putting everything else aside, she had caused Ivy Wilmar’s younger brother to land in the social news. In this affair, their family was undoubtedly in the wrong, not to mention that Ghania would still need to develop her future in Beijing, where she would rely on Ivy Wilmar for support.
Emilia Sullivan usually acted superior in front of Ivy Wilmar, relying on her status as the eldest sister-in-law, often speaking impulsively without thinking. Now, she didn’t dare to open her mouth either.
It was Myles Sullivan who broke the silence first, loosening his collar and speaking to the woman brooding on the sofa, "Alright, what’s done is done. Being angry here won’t help. As for that person from the Yancey family not giving us face, we can’t go to Mr. Yancey to beg for favors anymore. We just have to accept it."
He cavalierly said the words "just have to accept it," but inside Ivy Wilmar felt an immense frustration, her rage simmering without an outlet.
If an outsider had caused this trouble and burdened her younger brother, she would never have let it go so easily.
Yet Ghania was Myles Sullivan’s own niece, making it difficult for Ivy to relentlessly hold her accountable!
But her younger brother was already miserable enough, originally detained in juvenile detention. Thanks to Ghania’s actions, not only was he now set to be locked up for three years, but he would also be featured on TV news.
In their circle, with Jecksen Wilmar appearing on TV, how could he lift his head in their social circle again?!
She wished she could strangle Ghania, give her a couple of slaps in the face.
Ivy Wilmar was panting heavily, her complexion extremely unsightly.
"Don’t be angry anymore, at least that person from the Yancey family only said to let Simon Cadwell go through the proper legal process, he didn’t say to add more years to Jecksen’s sentence."
Understanding what was going on in her heart after so many years of marriage, Myles Sullivan himself was nearly sick with anger due to Ghania’s behind-the-scenes scheming, just like he said. But as things had happened, there was no turning back, and they had to try to let it go.
"He’s still considering the face of both families. As for the news, don’t think too much about it. Ordinary people don’t follow this kind of social news. I’ll get someone to suppress the online news articles, try to minimize their presence, and not many people will know about Jecksen going in."
