The boardroom echoed with vicious insults directed at Madeline Monroe.
Some threatened to complain directly to Eleanor Prescott and Quentin Prescott.
When the doors suddenly swung open, all eyes turned to the entrance to see the tall, imposing figure of Quentin.
He possessed a powerfully built physique.
Dressed in a heavy, solid black suit over a matching black shirt and tie, he looked formidable.
His broad frame and cold, piercing gaze radiated an intimidating aura that commanded absolute silence.
The cunning old executives immediately stopped talking.
Quentin strode into the room just as the foul-mouthed executive, who was pinned against the table, opened his mouth to accuse Madeline.
With a single glance from Quentin, a bodyguard slammed the man's jaw into the table with a loud thud.
The man let out a pathetic wail, having bitten his tongue just as he tried to speak.
Blood sprayed across the surface, filling his mouth.
Quentin walked over and stood right behind Madeline.
The other executives shrank back in fear, but one middle-aged man stepped forward. "Director, back when the former Chairman was in charge, didn't he promise to secure our retirements?
This woman is recklessly interfering with The Prescott Group's operations. She's abusing her power and trying to kick us out.
She's going to ruin everything. You and Eleanor need to fire her immediately."
Quentin listened with deadly calm. "Are you unaware that she is my wife?"
A suffocating wave of fury simmered beneath his dark, predatory gaze.
He gave a slight nod.
The restrained man who had been spewing vulgarities, claiming Madeline had slept her way to the CEO position, was dealt with.
Quentin's guards smashed his mouth repeatedly against the edge of the table.
Five or six teeth shattered, and blood flew everywhere in a gruesome display.
Trembling uncontrollably in agony, the man passed out.
The executive who had spoken up stood frozen in shock, staring at the pool of blood and his unconscious colleague.
A wave of intense nausea and terror washed over him.
