“You… you’re really the one who caused this mess!” Roland Collins was furious, his eyes spitting fire as he scolded, “How many times have I told you, don’t judge a book by its cover!”
“There are plenty of low-profile big shots out there who usually can’t be bothered with you. But once they take you seriously, they’ll play you to death! Understand?”
“You unfilial child!”
“Such an unfilial child!”
“It’s driving me crazy!”
Roland Collins was furious, his chest heaving violently, wishing he could cripple Parker Collins.
Parker Collins was sweating profusely, thinking of the bags Quentin bought at the beginning, thinking of Ollie and Zaire’s respectful attitude towards Quentin…
It suddenly dawned on him.
It turns out, the clown was himself!
It was so obvious, but he had let jealousy and anger cloud his mind…
But he really didn’t expect Quentin’s ability to be so great, to the point where he could even manipulate figures in official positions.
In short, the shop that the Collins family relied on for survival was directly sealed!
“Dad, what should we do now?” Parker Collins asked, his face pale.
“What else can we do? We can only try to remedy the situation.” Roland Collins sighed deeply. “In this situation, we can only approach it from the side…”
“How much do you know about them?”
Roland Collins asked, he was an old hand at this, so he could still manage to calm down and think of a strategy.
Parker Collins recounted everything he knew in detail.

Below the Pittman family building.
Quentin escorted Charlotte back.
Charlotte got out of the car from the passenger side and smiled, “Remember, there’s a parent-teacher meeting at school on Friday. We need to make time for it, don’t skip it.”
“Of course.” Quentin nodded, he had been keeping this in mind.
“Okay, I’ll go up first.”
Quentin watched Charlotte go up and left after a while.
Back home, Charlotte asked, “Mom, Dad’s not home again?”
“I haven’t seen him much these days. I don’t know where he’s been hanging out!” Emma muttered discontentedly, but didn’t pay it much mind. Emery was such a coward; he didn’t have the guts to hang out outside.
Charlotte frowned slightly.
However, she didn’t say anything. After all, Emery was still young, and it was normal for him to go outside to play chess or take a walk.
Now, Rashad’s restaurant business was doing well, the Pittman family’s life was much better than before, and Emma and Emery were not as hardworking as before.
Back in her room, Charlotte sat in front of the computer and found that the resumes she had sent out before had actually received responses, which excited her.
“Zeustimes Group…”
“Spicurity Group…”
These two big companies actually wanted her to interview? She was pleasantly surprised.
However, after a moment of thought, Quentin decided to go to the Spicurity Group interview first. If she passed the interview, she wouldn’t go to Zeustimes Group.
Because she also knew that Zeustimes Group used to be owned by the Holland family.
But now, Zeustimes Group no longer belonged to the Holland family. If she went to work at Zeustimes Group, Quentin would inevitably be reminded of the past.
She also considered Quentin’s feelings.
So, she chose Spicurity Group first.
“This time, Spicurity Group is openly recruiting, so there are many applicants and the competition is very fierce. I have to put in some effort.”
“I’ll try to prepare well in these few days.”
“After the interview at Spicurity Group, I can just make it to the parent-teacher meeting.”
She thought to herself.
In the blink of an eye, several days passed, and it was Friday, the time for the Spicurity Group interview.
Charlotte put on her professional attire and carefully dressed up before setting off.
As soon as she walked downstairs, she saw a car parked downstairs, and a distinct profile appeared in her line of sight…
“Why are you here!?”
Seeing Quentin, Charlotte’s eyes were filled with joy and excitement.
“I wanted to surprise you.” Quentin smiled faintly, “Get in, I’ll take you there.”
Feeling sweet in her heart, Charlotte walked down in her high heels and got into the passenger seat.
“How long have you been waiting?” She glanced at Quentin with a reproachful look. “You didn’t even tell me you were coming, standing here like a fool.”
