Book:Fallen Heir Rising Published:2024-6-5

Quentin and Sylvia sat down slowly, facing each other.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Martha was still immersed in the shock just now, and after a few seconds, she came back to her senses.
Her look of disappointment was fleeting.
Soon she recovered her frosty expression, “Quentin, you actually came back? You are really brave!”
She sneered.
Quentin ignored her.
Martha felt a surge of anger rising in her chest when she saw Quentin blatantly ignoring her. “Quentin, why did you ignore me? Who gave you the courage?” she demanded.
Facing her accusation, Quentin replied coldly, “Why should I bother with you? What qualifications do you have to make me bother with you?”
Upon hearing this, Martha was at a loss for words.
Quentin’s sharp eyes turned to Hendrix, and he said coldly, “Hendrix, are you not surprised to see me at all?”
Hendrix smiled without saying a word, poured a cup of tea in front of them, and said with a smile, “Have some tea.”
Quentin sneered, “I dare not drink, what if you poison it inside?”
Hendrix shook his head and smiled bitterly, “In your eyes, am I such a shameless person?”
Quentin’s voice suddenly became cold, and even the air around him suddenly dropped a few degrees, filled with a chilling aura, “Hendrix, don’t play nice with me!”
“If I didn’t restrain myself today, I would have killed you, you ungrateful bastard! You betrayed even your friend, now you’re playing nice with me?”
Quentin still remembered that his father once told him that Hendrix was very wise.
But he only saw Hendrix as an ungrateful man, his father helped him so much, but in the end, he not only joined the camp that persecuted Dominick, but also humiliated him.
Seeing Quentin’s hatred towards him, Hendrix was not angry either, took a sip of tea, and said casually, “There’s a misunderstanding between us.”
Upon hearing this, Quentin immediately sneered, “There is no misunderstanding.”
“I won’t listen to your sophistry.”
Upon hearing him say this, Hendrix suddenly turned his gaze to Quentin and said, “What if your parents didn’t die?”
At this point, Quentin, his sister, and Martha all had their faces changed drastically!
“What did you say?”
A hint of excitement appeared on Quentin’s calm face.
“I said, it’s very likely that your parents didn’t die.” Hendrix stared at Quentin.
“What evidence do you have?” Quentin’s tone was icy, and he said coldly, “Don’t think I will believe you with just a few words.”
Hendrix said calmly, “Let me explain this matter to you.”
He paused for a moment and continued, “One or two months ago, when your parents were still in charge of the Zeustimes Group and the Zeustimes Group was at its peak, overshadowing the four major local clans.”
“Your parents were sharp in business, and if they continued like this, the four major clans would be squeezed out by the increasingly powerful Zeustimes Group.”
“The trend hurt the interests of the four major clans.”
“In fact, this trend started five years ago. When you were imprisoned, it was also the doing of these four major clans.”
“You should be clear about this. They had long wanted to get rid of the Holland family and divide the profits.”
“And because of you, the Holland family hated the four major clans and aggressively moved into industries monopolized by the four major clans, quickly dominating the market.”
“If this continues, in one or two years, the four major clans will be completely crushed by Zeustimes Group!”
“They couldn’t sit still, so, led by the Hill family, the four major clans have formally formed a united front, aiming at the Zeustimes Group.”
“But those guys are not a match for your father in terms of business acumen.”
“In the first round of market competition, the four major clans were severely damaged!”
“Later, they made a desperate move and targeted your parents…”
