Don't Fall For Me, CEO-Chapter 1122: Granting Every Request

"What do you want from me?"

Kyle Keaton was right beside July Quinn just now. Although he’s now not only in charge of the domestic Keaton Group but also holds the reins of The Kane Group, his days are filled with endless tasks.

Yet he still stayed close to July Quinn every step of the way, fearing she wouldn’t forgive him and also worried someone might steal her away.

Just moments ago, when July Quinn had an incoming video call, he became especially alert, fearing the call might be initiated by Roman Kidd.

But then he heard Victor Hawthorne’s voice, and he sighed in relief.

He didn’t expect that Victor Hawthorne would look for him in the video.

That’s why he reluctantly appeared on camera.

To his surprise, once he showed his face, Victor Hawthorne’s expression became bizarre!

"Nothing, uncle! I really don’t have anything."

Victor Hawthorne smiled amiably yet strained.

It seems July Quinn and her uncle are quite close.

His plan aborted!

Seeing him smile twistedly, Kyle Keaton couldn’t be bothered to deal with it and continued to browse the documents.

Then Victor Hawthorne chatted with July Quinn about why he faked his death, why he didn’t contact them after, and the international e-sports tournament set to be hosted early next year in Aethelgard was suddenly relocated to Desrozin City.

"Desrozin City?" July Quinn hadn’t expected the international tournament to be moved here to be hosted.

"Yeah, you’ll be participating, right, dad?"

Victor Hawthorne looked at July Quinn pitifully.

The members of their campus e-sports team all had a good relationship with July Quinn, so after July Quinn’s plunge off the cliff, all members had been in quite a low emotional state.

During this period, even the number of group practices could be counted on one hand.

Plus, the recent rumors of Master July’s death made other teams very skeptical of them.

Even their own coach suggested perhaps they should just give up on this tournament.

Victor Hawthorne also once considered this, for July Quinn’s death left every one of them dispirited.

So instead of wasting time, it seemed better to give up early.

But seeing a living July Quinn on the other end of the video brought Victor Hawthorne hope.

It evidently proved, though not his real dad, July Quinn was almost always responsive to his requests.

"I happen to be in Desrozin City already. It’s not impossible to take time to participate in the tournament."

For a moment, Victor Hawthorne was profoundly moved.

Look at how much his dad cherishes him, even after having gone through life and death, and still joining the tournament because of one simple request from him.

To avoid burdening him, she even made up the lie that she’s currently in Desrozin City...

Honestly, if it wasn’t for his uncle right next to her, Victor Hawthorne would’ve wanted to shout out loud: "I want to marry her!"

July Quinn didn’t know Victor Hawthorne had misunderstood her and was moved profoundly.

She simply planned to take the subway on the day of the tournament, head to the venue, meet up with Victor Hawthorne and them, and participate in the tournament.

Meanwhile, inside the tournament venue, Victor Hawthorne and others waited anxiously.

Especially Victor Hawthorne’s underlings, who kept pressing him with questions: "Is Grandpa really not dead?"

"If Grandpa isn’t dead, why wouldn’t he come back to find us and instead went to Desrozin City?"

"Captain Hawthorne, are you sure we’re not dreaming? We did attend Julian Quinn’s funeral back then."

Victor Hawthorne very much wanted to refute them.

But the puzzling thing is, when he texted July Quinn again, the messages seemed to sink into the sea without a trace.

Which also made Victor Hawthorne suspect that the day he video-called with July Quinn, seeing her safe and sound and promising to participate in the tournament, may not have been anything but a dream!

Just as Victor Hawthorne was at a loss for how to respond to his team members, a playful voice came...
