Those people broke out in a cold sweat, wiping it off hastily, and hurriedly pulled out their phones to notify others. Today, things were likely going to get messy!
Thirty minutes later, many people gathered at the Wallace family hall, not daring to breathe too loudly, glancing at the commanding figure sitting in the high seat.
He remained silent.
But his presence made everyone uncomfortable, rendering them speechless.
The head of the Wallace family arrived.
Alisha hurriedly made her way there too.
Her expression fraught with anxiety.
“Mr. Governor!” Alisha trembled as she greeted Quentin.
This was her second encounter with this figure. The first was at a charity gala where she ended up with a broken leg that still hadn’t fully healed.
And then, there was the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the Night City just a few days ago.
Her brother Jeremy died under his command!
Yet… Now, in his presence, she dared not even harbor hatred.
His dominance was too overwhelming.
Quentin took a sip of tea, his brows furrowing. “It tastes so so.”
Setting down the teacup, Quentin slowly lifted his gaze, his sharp and cold eyes fixing on Alisha.
“Mr. Governor graces us with his presence at our humble abode. Do you have a command? If there’s anything you need assistance with, the Wallace family stands ready to oblige without hesitation.” Alisha spoke up again.
Her heart, however, was filled with unease.
Quentin smirked coldly. “I want you dead. Is that acceptable?”
At his words, Alisha felt a chill run down her spine.
“Mr. Governor…”
“Just kidding.”
Alisha breathed a sigh of relief.
“Even if I were to let you die… I wouldn’t let it be that easy for you.”
Alisha’s heart trembled violently at Quentin’s icy gaze, feeling a sense of familiarity creeping in.
“Mr. Governor, you’re… quite humorous,” Alisha forced a smile. “I haven’t done anything outrageous, why would you have such a strong opinion of me, Mr. Governor?”
“Have you not done anything outrageous, or are you just too scared to admit it?” Quentin smirked playfully.
“I came here today just to tell the people of the Wallace family something. Now, I’ll give you all a choice, perhaps it can revive the Wallace family!”
“What?”
They looked at him, hope gleaming in their eyes.
“Mr. Governor…”
“Is it true?”
They were excited beyond measure.
Having owned wealth and glory, they were unwilling to bear the risk of bankruptcy. They never wanted to be poor again!
“Of course,” Quentin said casually. “The Wallace family’s stock price has always been within my control. Whether the Wallace family flourishes and perishes is all at my whim.”
The members of the Wallace family were speechless, then drenched in cold sweat.
So, the mastermind behind the scenes was actually this mysterious Governor!
The head of the Wallace family trembled all over. “Mr. Governor, please enlighten us.”
“As long as we can redeem ourselves, we, the Wallace family, will not hesitate!”
Quentin smiled and placed a note on the table.
“The method is already here for you to see. The choice is yours.”
With that said, he rose to his feet and left with Eileen.
The head of the Wallace family took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement, quickly picked up the note, and opened it!
Alisha also leaned in to take a look.
However, soon, both of their faces showed shock.
Especially Alisha, her pretty face turned deathly pale. “No, no… This guy must be kidding, Mr. Governor, how could he make such a demand? I refuse to believe it!”
However, the head of the Wallace family sighed and said slowly, “Alisha, you’ve done a lot for the Wallace family over the years.”
“I’m also grateful…”
“The Wallace family has grown strong under your leadership, and we’re all very grateful to you. So, this time, please make one last sacrifice for the Wallace family!”
A hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes as he grabbed the note tightly!
