As Quentin and Keely were chased out, their expressions were not good.
Keely glared at Quentin with hatred and contempt, his words full of sarcasm.
“This is your son. This kind of unfilial son, I might as well kill him!”
“Keely, how can you say that? If it weren’t for this child, my mother would not have agreed to us being together.” Quentin could not stand her sarcasm.
He knew that Seamus was the only boy in the Powell family, who was going to carry on the heir of the Powell family. Now that he was injured and lying in the hospital, she was upset and lost her temper. He did not argue with her.
“Are you still thinking of that bitch Vivian for retorting me?”
Quentin pinched the space between his eyebrows. He was very tired. Every time the two of them quarreled over the years, she would always use this matter to criticize him.
In the past, he could endure it, but now he had a bit of a temper.
“Keely, can you be more rational? She is dead and her bones are turned into a pile of dust. What would I think?”
Hearing Quentin loses his temper, Keely restrained himself.
But when she thought of her nephew, Seamus, who was still lying in the hospital, she felt uncomfortable.
Seamus was the only male son of the Powell family. Usually, the family treated him as a treasure. This time, the doctor said that his lower limbs were injured. It might affect the child.
After hearing the doctor’s words, her first reaction was that James was going to take revenge on her.
Only then did she angrily drag Quentin over to demand an explanation, but James was too arrogant, not giving her any face.
The more she thought about it, the more she hated him. As expected, the son of a lowly person was just like her, who was so annoying!
At this time, Quentin received a phone call, saying that a police officer had gone to the studio, saying that there were a few items in their studio that might involve the international theft of relics.
Quentin’s face darkened and he rushed to the studio.
He was doing a decent business, and the treasures he purchased usually went through professional institutions. Every artifact had a professional appraisal.
Hearing that his studio had a problem, Keely also panicked. This kind of thing could be big or small.
If this were to blow up, it would be a crime of stealing relics.
Keely had just arrived at the studio and had yet to understand the situation. He also received a call saying that something had happened to the Powell Group.
How could it be such a coincidence?
Keely was worried and ran back to the Powell family regardless of Quentin.
When she got to the Powell family to get to know the situation, she found out that it was the big company that the Powell Group was working with that suddenly withdrew their funds, and the bank loan had expired again. They were now in a tight financial situation and needed her to take out some money to help them.
“The market hasn’t been good these few years. the Powell Group is also adjusting the management mode. The profit is not good. Keely, take out 50 million to help the Powell Group overcome the difficulties first. When the Powell Group makes a profit, I will return you the money.”
Keely listened to his brother’s matter-of-fact tone and frowned.
The Powell family did not have a single share of her shares. She would at least take out a few hundred million. Every time her brother used such an excuse, she would take out the money and there would be no more after that.
A few years ago, the Powell family ran quite well, and he did not say sharing the shares with her. All the shares were written on Seamus.
Because she didn’t have her own child, she cherished this nephew very much, and she didn’t calculate these things with him.
This time, she delayed going abroad because she wanted to find a chance to discuss with Quentin and take Seamus under his knees.
However, after being stirred up by James, she never found a chance to speak.
“Quentin and I have invested all our money into this batch of antiques. In addition, Quentin’s studio also needs funds. We can’t afford that much.”
The Powell family had given it to the eldest son of the Powell family several years ago, Frank.
Frank listened to her explanation and did not understand. Instead, he felt that she was declining.
“Quentin has SA Group. Why can’t he take out so little money? Mr. James is your son. He can give you a lot.”
When James was mentioned, Keely got angry.
Now he wanted to kill her, how could he give them money?
“You know James. After all, he is not my biological son. How can I ask him for money? Let’s think of another way.”
“I want all the methods I can think of. If it wasn’t for forcing me, do you think I like to be thick-skinned and ask you for money?”
Frank was angry and aggressive.
Keely was helpless. She could not refuse what her family said.
Otherwise, she would not have secretly used Quentin’s money to fund the Powell family over the years.
But if something happened to Quentin’s studio, he would definitely need money. If he gave the money to the Powell family, what would Quentin do?
Frank looked at the way she lowered her head and pondered. He knew his sister’s personality. She looked strong, but she was actually soft when facing her family.
“Keely, after all, Quentin is a member of the Hemming family and the father of Mr. James. Mr. James is not your biological son, but he can’t watch his father get into trouble.
Don’t worry, as long as the Hemming family doesn’t fall, Quentin’s days will not be too bad.”
Keely felt that what her brother said made a lot of sense, but when she thought of James’s attitude towards them today, she still felt a little worried.
“Keely, Seamus needs a lot of medical expenses when he enters the hospital, but I have invested all my money into the Powell family. You can’t just watch Seamus have no money to treat him and his leg will be crippled, right?”
As Frank spoke, he began to cry.
Keely could not bear his tricks and could only nod and take out all the money he had on hand to save the Powell family.
Quentin didn’t know that all his money had been lost by his wife. The new batch of antiques in the studio had some problems. At first, he was very sure that they were fine.
However, as he listened to the police’s continuous investigation, he began to panic. The police had even detained his passport for the sake of his escape.
“Mr. Hemming, thank you for cooperating with the investigation. This batch of artifacts is a treasure, and it is really their honor to be collected by you.
However, they were all stolen illegally and needed to be returned. Although this caused a great loss and we understand you, we have no way to deal with the orders from the higher-ups at this time.”
Hemming was speechless.
Quentin had been in this industry for many years and understood the twists and turns inside. When he bought this batch of antiques, he had already guessed in his heart that they came from unknown origins, but he did like them, so he held a fluke.
As long as they could not find him, these things would not be discovered.
But he never expected that the antique would be pulled out and returned to the studio as soon as it arrived.
This meant that all the money he had spent had gone to waste. If he did not hand it over, he would be charged with the crime of selling cultural relics.
Quentin understood that someone was scheming against him!
Coming out of the police station empty-handed, he was agitated and walked into a bar, wanting to drink to relieve his boredom.
However, he was not good at drinking, and his face was flushed after drinking a little.
The more he thought about it, the more depressed he became. He was usually kind to people and had a few rivals in the industry, but he had never done anything foul.
Just who was it that had such a vicious mind and designed a trap to trap him?
“Sir, you are drunk.” Someone beside him reminded.
“Yes, I’m drunk and my brain is muddled. If Keely knew that I was drunk, she would definitely scold me again.” Quentin stood up and staggered a few steps.
“Sir, do you need help?”
Quentin looked up and saw a woman with heavy makeup. Her makeup was quite similar to Keely’s.
