Quentin was talking incessantly when he got interrupted by James, which made him frown unhappily.
“James, I chose Vivian because I had no other choice. It was your grandma who forced me to divorce your mother. I…”
“Shut up!”
James ruthlessly interrupted him. His face was gloomy and cold as he warned.
“As I said, I only have one mom, and she is dead!”
“James, why are you so stubborn? I already said that many years have passed since the incident with Vivian. Now that she is dead, what’s the point of you clinging to it?”
Quentin could not understand why a smart person like him would be obsessed with a dead person.
Vivian gave him a child so that he could break free from Zoey and be with the woman he loved. He was grateful to her and never thought of letting her die.
However, she was dead, and there was nothing he could do to save her. He could only let her rest in peace.
“It’s of no point to you, not me.”
James was not in the mood to drink tea. He poured it into the trash can.
He actually didn’t like the taste of tea, not to mention that he didn’t have any taste, so he couldn’t tell if the tea he brewed was good or not at all.
However, he deeply remembered that when Vivian made tea for him, she would always look at him gently and talk to him about many things.
At that time, he took it for granted. It was until after she passed away that he found out that it was the happiest time in his childhood.
Ever since he was born, he had been used by others, and his father gave him to the Hemmings in order to be with someone he loved.
His grandparents raised him for the sake of the future of the family, and they treated him as a tool.
Only Vivian was truly good to him.
Therefore, investigating the cause of her death was not only to give her an explanation but also to lift himself out of the affliction.
Who ruined his childhood!
Quentin didn’t come here to quarrel with him. His cold and heavy voice made him a little embarrassed.
“James, if you really want to investigate it, I can help you. Consider it a favor I owe her.”
Hearing his words, James let out a laugh.
A favor? Was it this simple?
He was responsible for all the sufferings his mother had had, and yet he said it was just a favor.
“Fine.”
James considered himself a person with a bad temper, but at this moment, he was too lazy to lose his temper.
There was no point talking to this kind of person. Only by letting him taste pain could he understand everything his mother had suffered.
He got up and sat down behind his desk, continuing to work.
Seeing that James ignored him, Quentin couldn’t figure out what he was thinking and felt a headache coming on.
“James, about my studio…”
“Don’t worry, I will definitely help you. At most, it will be three days.” James sneered.
Quentin was satisfied. He always thought that it was okay to have no children with Keely.
Now that he thought about it, it was not a bad thing to have a capable son.
“I leave it to you. Bye.”
James ignored him. His hand that was holding the pen slightly exerted some force and pierced through the signed paper. He felt that it was a pity.
Quentin got up. Seeing that James did not respond to him, he could not help but say a few more words.
“James, don’t always be busy with work. You should also take some rest.”
“Come in, Nolan!”
James called Nolan in.
“Mr. James, what’s the matter?”
“Too noisy!”
“…”
Nolan glanced at Quentin. This old man standing here was also quite an eyesore.
Quentin’s face darkened.
“Let me walk you out.”
He would be thrown out if he stayed one more second.
Quentin knew that James was tired of him. He left the office with unpleasant looks. Then he turned around and saw Nolan follow him. He stared at him with a cold gaze.
“Nolan, you are close to James. You must take care of his daily life. I think he did not eat anything at noon.”
Hearing his reproach, Nolan sneered.
What card was he playing now? Where was him when Mr. James was helpless?
However, he was Mr. James’s father after all, so he would still be polite to him.
“I will. Take care.”
“Also, about his love life, he is busy at work and has never been in a relationship. Be careful, don’t let him be deceived.” Quentin looked very serious.
“…”
Nolan lifted the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose. Although he was only a special assistant, his patience was limited.
Quentin was insinuating his dissatisfaction with Kara. He even said bad things about her in front of him.
“Leave yourself some dignity, Mr. Quentin.”
He still had a lot of work to do today, and he didn’t want to waste time with idle people.
Quentin frowned unhappily. He had already been ignored by James, but he didn’t expect a mere assistant to be so arrogant.
How infuriating!
“Nolan, how dare you give me that kind of look?”
Nolan had a good temper, but he still felt a bit angry when he was questioned like this.
“Mr. Quentin, what kind of look?”
He was just giving the kind of look that suited him.
“A mere assistant dares to pick on me. This is SA Group, a property of my family. Do you still want to be here?”
Quentin couldn’t take it anymore and shouted.
“…”
Nolan suddenly felt a little sad for him. When Quentin was young, he was a typical bookworm. He had a high IQ and low EQ. Although he was not too much spoiled, he was still the second young master of the Hemming family.
He was incompetent in managing the SA Group. If not for Madam Hemming, the Group would have become Marcos’s.
Marcos was also not a good person. If he got the SA Group, Quentin would definitely have a bad time.
What was funny was that back then, he did not want to be forced into a blind date by Madam Hemming and eloped with the woman he liked. After she had a miscarriage, he gave in and let another women give him a son.
For so many years, he did not care about his child.
Although he was not young now, his ability to conduct himself in the world was still like a child, and the way he looked at things was very childish.
“Why are you staring at me? Are you trying to hit me?”
Quentin had an arrogant expression on his face, and he was certain that Nolan dare to touch him.
Nolan smiled faintly. His face was gentle, and no anger could be seen.
“Hit you? No, no, Mr. Quentin, don’t think so highly of yourself. I am a discriminate hitter.
And you don’t deserve it!”
“You!”
Quentin was so angry that his face turned red. “I’ll fire you now. Get out of the SA Group!”
“Sorry, you don’t have the right to dismiss me. You can enter the SA Group only because you are a member of the Hemming family. Other than this identity, you are nothing!”
Quentin was stunned. He felt that his self-esteem was severely despised. He was furious and wanted to teach him a lesson.
He thought at least he had the power to teach this little assistant a lesson, if not James.
