“You are… Lola Shaw?” Quentin showed a look of surprise.
She was his high school classmate.
“Yes, it’s me.” Lola Shaw’s pretty face blushed, surprised that Quentin still remembered her.
“Hehe, you’ve changed a lot, almost didn’t recognize you.” Quentin smiled, attempting to squat down to help her pick up her documents.
The sound of leather shoes tapping against the floor approached.
“What the hell are you looking at? Can’t you watch where you’re going? Apologize now!”
Accompanied by the sound of hurried footsteps, a haughty shout came.
Quentin raised his head, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.
This person seemed very familiar too.
But he couldn’t remember who it was.
A young man arrived, full of anger and arrogance, glaring at Quentin and then showing a bit of confusion.
“Are you Quentin Holland?”
“It’s me.” Quentin responded indifferently.
“Oh, got out of jail, have you?” The young man sneered, “Really bad luck, running into you.”
“You bumped into Lola and you’re not apologizing?”
The young man commanded, then turned to Lola with a concerned face, “Lola, are you okay?”
Lola subtly avoided him, “I’m fine! Tommy, how can you talk to Quentin like that? He…”
“What’s wrong with how I talk to him? He’s nothing now!”
“I could have him thrown out with just one word!” Tommy looked disdainful.
“You… you’re so ungrateful! If it weren’t for Quentin’s father who considered you were Quentin’s classmate, how could you possibly have worked here?”
“I work here because I am capable! It had nothing to do with that old man, stop mentioning him, it’s bad luck! Wouldn’t want the other directors to hear.”
Tommy was clearly impatient.
“You…” Lola was trembling with anger, “You’re too much.”
“Lola, why bother with him? Zeustimes Group is no longer under the Holland family’s control, the Holland family has gone bankrupt, Quentin is nothing but a homeless dog now…” Tommy’s tone was filled with sarcasm.
Quentin’s brows furrowed slightly.
He remembered this person now, Tommy, a classmate from high school.
He used to flatter Quentin occasionally.
But Quentin never liked such sycophantic people, so he didn’t interact much with him.
“Mr. Holland, so, you bumped into Lola and won’t say sorry?” Tommy raised his eyebrows, “Even as a fallen good-for-nothing, you still act so proud?”
“I’ve already said it.” Quentin’s tone was calm.
“I didn’t hear it. How about you kneel right here?” A mocking smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, “I’d really like to see how the high and mighty Mr. Holland kneels.”
“Oh? You’re not worthy to see me kneel. Besides, what’s it to you?”
“Tsk! Damn Quentin, think you’re something? Still dare to act tough with me!” Tommy cursed loudly, “Believe it or not, I can have someone break your legs and throw you out?”
His shouting was loud, and soon a few security guards approached, “Mr. Chambers, what’s the matter? Who dares to offend you here, let us take care of it for you.”
“It’s this guy, your former young master, Mr. Holland!” Tommy laughed, “Mr. Holland did something wrong and won’t admit it, we need to correct his bad habit, right?”
Hearing this, the men immediately understood. Tommy was now a favorite of someone on the board of directors; pleasing him definitely had its benefits!
As for Quentin?
After the Holland family went bankrupt, his status was truly less than that of a dog!
“Damn, not kneeling to our Mr. Chambers?”
“Want us to do it the hard way?”
“Move aside.” Quentin’s tone turned cold, “Don’t block my way.”
“Tommy! Don’t you think this is too much? Quentin is our classmate, you…” Lola scolded angrily.
“Mind your own business.” Seeing her plead for Quentin, Tommy was even more irritated, “Get him down!”
The security guards exchanged glances and rushed forward, fists ready. Eileen’s gaze turned cold, stepping forward swiftly, her movements fast as lightning!
Several dull sounds rang out, the men were sent flying against the wall, screaming as they collapsed on the floor, grimacing in pain…
Eileen stepped closer to Tommy.
“You…”
Before he could finish, Eileen had grabbed his hair, pressing his head down while kneeing him!
“Ah-”
Tommy felt an immense force, his teeth and nose bone shattered, the intense pain causing tears to stream down his face…
“Even if Mr. Holland is down on his luck, a trash like you is still trash in front of him, understand?”
Eileen slowly released her grip, and Tommy collapsed on the spot…
Quentin didn’t even glance at him, smiled faintly at Lola, and walked away.
“Wait!”
“Quentin!”
Lola hurried after him, “Quentin, this is my contact information, take it for now. You’ve just come back, and the Holland family has…”
“I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to bring it up…”
Her face was blushing red, “Anyway, if you have any trouble, just come to me, I’ll try to help!”
“Thanks.” Quentin accepted the card with a smile, “Then I’ll be going.”
A few dozen meters away, Quentin said indifferently, “Check who Tommy is working under, and just fire him.”
“Yes!” Eileen sneered, “Just firing him? Isn’t that too easy on him?”
