“You… you!” Emma was also startled, considering the possibility that Eric might really be crippled.
“Quentin, it’s all your doing! You better shoulder this ten million dollars! Don’t harm Mr. Eric, or else I won’t let you off!”
Even if Eric could actually produce ten million dollars, if that amount was missing, Charlotte’s marriage prospects would be greatly affected…
If Quentin took on this debt, it would definitely be a good thing for them.
As for Quentin’s well-being… she couldn’t care less!
She already considered Eric as her son-in-law and naturally protected him.
Upon hearing this, Quentin calmly said, “Eric, since Mom has spoken, I’ll give you a chance.”
“First, be honest, is there any connection between the military deployment and you?”
Seeing Quentin’s sharp gaze, Eric felt a heavy pressure on his chest. He shook his head repeatedly, “No, no! It was me trying to take credit. Mrs. Pittman told me about this…”
“I didn’t do anything, actually!”
“What?” Charlotte was somewhat surprised. No wonder something felt off. It turned out that her rescue and that of the two children had nothing to do with Eric; it was a joint deception between Emma and Eric!
Emma’s face turned red, and she explained, “Charlotte, I did it for your own good, to matchmake and ensure you have a good future.”
Seeing Eric finally admit it, Quentin added, “I have a good relationship with the owner of Galaxy Restaurant, so I don’t have to pay for my expenses here.”
“You kneel down, apologize, and I’ll cover today’s bill,” Quentin said coldly.
“It’s your choice.”
“Mr. Holland indeed doesn’t have to pay for his expenses here.” The general manager confirmed.
Eric’s heart skipped a beat.
But at present, what other option did he have?
He was helpless! His kneeling down was worth ten million dollars! If he didn’t kneel, his family might go bankrupt…
He felt so frustrated as he actually had to give in to this wretched dog.
“Take him out and disable him.” The general manager, seeing his hesitation, immediately said coldly.
“No, please don’t! I’ll kneel, I’ll kneel!” Eric immediately came in front of Quentin and fell to his knees with a loud thud!
Emma was dumbfounded. Emery sighed inwardly. Rashad showed a look of disdain.
“I’m sorry! I apologize, I was wrong! I beg you, have mercy, don’t treat me as your equal!”
Eric kowtowed heavily, begging at Quentin’s feet like a dog.
“Get lost-” Quentin reprimanded coldly, “Don’t let me see you bothering Charlotte again, otherwise, your fate will be ten times worse than today.”
“Yes, yes, I’ll leave immediately!” Enduring immense humiliation, Eric left with a dispirited face.
Today, he had completely lost face… From now on, it would be difficult for him to hold his head up in front of the Pittman family! But what could he do?
After Eric left, Emery’s face darkened. “Quentin, you went too far with this today. You’ve offended Eric to the extreme. With his personality, he definitely won’t let you off easily in the future. You acted recklessly.”
Emery’s gaze was somewhat disappointed. In his opinion, Quentin still wasn’t experienced enough. His doing would only bring himself trouble in the future.
“Rest assured, Dad. I’m sure I can handle this.” Quentin didn’t really care about such a small fry.
“It’s all because of you!” Emma was still resentful. “Do you think you’re something special just because of the connections you made in the past? Relying on that to throw your weight around here!”
“You’ve harmed Charlotte! If Charlotte married Eric, at least she can live a life of wealth and luxury. If she was with you, she could only suffer. Don’t you have self-awareness?”
“In the future, stay away from our family, Charlotte, or I won’t be so nice to you!”
“Let’s go-” Emma gave a cold glance at him.
Charlotte hesitated for a moment.
“Charlotte, if you’re going to continue to be with him, don’t bother coming back.”
Seeing Emma really angry, Charlotte sighed, “I’m going back for now. You go back and rest.”
“Okay, take care on the way.” Quentin just nodded.
—
At night, after taking care of the two children in the hospital, Quentin’s phone suddenly rang.
“Quentin, Grandpa has known you beat Georgia, and he wants us to go see him tomorrow.”
Charlotte’s voice carried a hint of helplessness.
“Yeah,” Quentin nodded. “Don’t worry, with me by your side, no one will dare to bully you.”
Given the favoritism Old Mr. Pittman showed towards Georgia, he would definitely side with Georgia and Charlotte would be given unfair treatment if she went alone.
He wouldn’t let that happen.
Early the next morning, Quentin went to the rental house to pick up Charlotte, and they went straight to the Pittman mansion.
On the way, Charlotte was uneasy.
