Quentin nodded slightly, he also had a rough understanding of the cause and effect of this matter, which was indeed consistent with what Hendrix had said.
Hendrix continued, “At that time, the market dispute between the two sides had reached a white-hot stage, and the four major families had only one last resort…”
“Cutting off the tail of the snake!”
Quentin’s eyes were cold and terrifying. He naturally understood what cutting off the tail of the snake meant. Since they couldn’t destroy Zeustimes Group, they decided to directly destroy their core!
That is the chairman of Zeustimes Group, the top decision maker – Dominick and his wife!
“So, they paid a high price to buy off some senior executives of your Zeustimes Group, obtaining the biggest secrets of the company, which exposed the biggest weakness of Zeustimes Group!”
“The situation turned against them!”
“Zeustimes Group fighting against the four of them was already extremely difficult. In the end, someone stabbed them in the back, making the situation extremely dangerous!”
“On the verge of bankruptcy!”
“And before this incident happened, I advised my brother not to get involved in this matter, but in the end, he still did…”
Speaking of this, he sighed lightly and said, “I knew I couldn’t persuade my brother, so I was very worried.”
“In the end, I had to come up with an excuse to go to the Holland family to find your father, trying to resolve this matter. However, at that time, I was surrounded by my brother’s spies, so it wasn’t that simple.”
“I had to play along, deliberately humiliate your father to make them lower their guard, and sneakily write down their plans on a piece of paper and put it in a bottle…”
“I didn’t expect that in the end, your father still went…”
Quentin sneered and looked at the old fox in front of him, “Why should I believe you?”
This cunning man in front of him was always good at playing mind games. Quentin would not easily fall for his tricks. Only a fool would believe his nonsense.
However, he did agree with the idea that his parents might still be alive.
But Sylvia’s body trembled suddenly. “Brother… I feel like what he said might be true…”
The night before, Dominick had a conversation with her, advising her not to hold a grudge against Hendrix as he had his own reasons. But when Hendrix came the next day, Dominick was almost furious, but changed his attitude that night…
She couldn’t understand it.
She thought her father was kind-hearted, not wanting to go against this former friend. Now it seemed there might be some hidden agenda.
Quentin coldly said, “Hendrix, no matter what sweet words you use, I will not easily believe what you say. You have zero credibility in my eyes.”
Hendrix sighed lightly and said, “I never expected you to believe me, but I am just telling you the truth of the matter.”
“Quentin, you can verify it.”
“Initially, the four major families searched all of Stresall but couldn’t find your parents’ bodies. They didn’t dare to act recklessly until several days passed without any news of your parents, then they spread the news that your parents were dead!”
“Immediately after, they took action and destroyed Zeustimes Group, putting Ari, their puppet, in the position of chairman, and the Holland family collapsed.”
“However, now it is clear within the four major families that the fate of your parents is unknown, and they are in a panic, very likely they are still alive.”
With a long sigh, Hendrix said, “I had been advising my brother all along not to get involved in this matter, but he was blinded by greed and other family members’ strong demands. In the end, he did something unforgivable to your parents!”
“Today, I am telling you this, not for anything else, but to ask you to spare the Bradshaw family members in the future…”
“I beg you.”
Quentin coldly replied, “Spare your family members? I also want to spare your family members, but when the four major families conspired against my parents, did they ever think about sparing them?”
Quentin got up slowly, his voice cold, “This time, I’ll let you go for now. But next time, I won’t show mercy.”
With that, he turned and left.
Martha was so angry that she trembled all over, slamming the table and standing up, “Quentin, what’s your attitude?”
Quentin turned back, his deep starry eyes gleaming with cold light, “What attitude do you want from me? Are you even worthy?”
