Chapter 101 Choosing A Gown Chapter 101 Choosing A Gown Quinn fell silent , turning her gaze to the view outside the car window . Julius ' gaze fell on her . +5 Free Coins He hadn't expected to overhear a conversation between Harlan and her at the county recorder's office that day . When Harlan claimed that everyone in the Whitethorn family was unusual , she didn't sense anything odd about them .

In fact , whenever Harlan tried to share the secretive rumors about the Whitethorn family , she would always dismiss them , asserting that rumors weren't credible . As Harlan had said , such a woman was a noble and benevolent character . Compared to her , even if he appeared successful and distinguished , he was an insignificant being . He knew that to many people , he was considered a lunatic . Even if he wasn't crazy now , they believed it was only a matter of time before he would be .

" Do you really not want to know what the rumors about the Whitethorn family are ? " His voice suddenly echoed throughout the car . " I'm not interested in rumors , " Quinn said . " Besides , who can really tell if they're true or false ? " Julius ' eyes dimmed slightly . Is she not interested in the rumors or me ? " What if some of the rumors are true ? " Julius asked . " What ? " Quinn was taken aback . Julius looked at Quinn .

" For instance , rumors say that everyone in the Whitethorn family is a bit off , including myself . What if I told you those rumors are true ? " " Do you have a mental illness ? " Quinn asked solemnly . A flicker of surprise flashed in Julius ' eyes . He had initially thought that upon hearing his words , she would show some hesitation , or worse , he might see disgust etched on her face . However , he didn't expect that to be the first thing she asked after hearing his words .

" No , " he said . " If that's not the case , then you're normal ," Quinn responded . " People are diverse in nature . What others say is their business . If you feel that you're not normal , that's when you're truly abnormal ." Julius ' eyes sparkled slightly . Ever since he met her , she had always regarded him with an ordinary gaze . She didn't look at him the way other women did - with either flattery , greed , or fear . Instead , she simply saw him as a regular person .

Julius suddenly chuckled softly . " You're right . If I start thinking I'm not normal , then that's when I'm truly not . In the future , if there's anything you want to know about the Whitethorn family or me , you can ask me directly . No need to find out through others ." 1/2 Quinn gave Julius a peculiar look . She didn't see why she needed to know anything about Julius or his family . After all , that had nothing to do with her .

However , she remained silent , and Julius didn't continue the conversation on that topic . The car pulled up in front of a swanky club in the heart of Yarburn . Quinn followed Julius out of the car . The staff had been waiting for quite some time , ready to assist Quinn in choosing a gown . Meanwhile , Julius casually lounged on a couch , flipping through the club's catalog . The pages of the catalog were adorned with images of stunning models , each dressed in a variety of exquisite gowns .

This sort of catalog made it convenient for customers to choose their gowns . As Julius looked at the pictures in the catalog , he remained calm and unruffled . There were always beautiful women showing interest in him , but he never had any interest in them . At one point , many even speculated that he might have issues with his orientation . Only he himself understood that , regardless of whether it was men or women , he simply wasn't interested .

However , he found himself increasingly drawn to Quinn . From the moment she first pointed a toy gun at his head to their subsequent encounters , his interest in her seemed to grow , slipping beyond his control . Quinn wasn't the kind of person who would take someone's breath away at first sight . However , her aura of determination , coupled with her refined features , gave her a certain resilience that was hard to ignore .

Even though she was slender and a head shorter than he , there was something about being by her side that inexplicably brought a sense of comfort . Suddenly , the sound of footsteps echoed . It was Quinn , already changed into the carefully chosen gown , who appeared before Julius . It was a long gown that reached her ankles , featuring a side slit . It was a simple black one , certainly a convenient and low - key formal wear . Yet , it left him with a sense of awe .

It was as if his gaze was unable to tear away from her face . " I'll accompany you to the banquet tomorrow . Let's go with this outfit , " Quinn suggested , as she approached Julius . As she walked , the slit in her formal dress allowed glimpses of her long right leg , subtly revealed amidst the sway of her gown . Julius suddenly furrowed his brows , thinking about the likelihood of many people seeing her legs if she wore this gown tomorrow .
