Shattered Vows: Call Me Auntie Now novel Chapter 218

Looking at her, Lillian felt a profound sense of nostalgia.

Over the years, she frequently thought of her senior colleague. Her colleague's life had been a tragedy, and Lillian didn't want Quinn to follow in those same footsteps.

So, just as a sliver of softness rose in her heart, she ruthlessly pushed it back down.

With a stern and frosty demeanor, she told Quinn, "The main reason you scored poorly in the preliminaries was that you lost your original design."

"A rushed piece can never compare to a carefully crafted one. It was barely passable."

"I expect you to take the semi-finals seriously and not make any more careless mistakes. If you get eliminated this round, you can forget about the finals."

Quinn knew this was just Lillian's personality—unsmiling, strict, and serious. Therefore, instead of feeling resentful, she was actually grateful for the feedback.

She nodded humbly, already showing the respectful obedience of an apprentice.

"I understand, Ms. Quincy. Thank you for the advice."

Seeing Quinn taking the lecture so well, Lillian's dissatisfaction lessened a bit. "Also, design requires a calm mind. Don't let petty domestic squabbles drag you down!"

Quinn blinked in surprise. She wasn't stupid; she caught Lillian's underlying meaning perfectly.

Why did it feel like Lillian thought she was just a hopelessly love-struck fool?

She couldn't help but find it ironically amusing.

Honestly, for many years, she had been foolish in love. She had sacrificed too much for Dante and wasted far too much time. Thankfully, she was finally awake.

"Rest assured, Ms. Quincy. I have my own career plan, and I know exactly what path I want to take. It doesn't involve just being someone's wife."

"Good!"

Lillian gave her a look that said, 'You better mean that', and turned away.

Watching Lillian's elegant, aloof figure walk away, Quinn smiled.

It seemed her future mentor was going to be incredibly strict. She would have to work extremely hard!

As the banquet drew to a close, Dante, who was in high spirits tonight, had a bit too much to drink. When the crowd thinned out, he scanned the room through slightly hazy eyes, searching for Quinn.
