Betrayed by the Father Reborn in His Rival's Arms novel Chapter 448

"Quentin, do you think that report is real?" Madeline asked.

"Judging by that old witch's smug face, it's definitely legally binding."

Madeline voiced her doubts. "With your grandfather's immense power, even abroad, if he had a lost son, he would have found him. Yet, no one has ever heard a word about it."

He nodded. "When my father died, I saw what it meant to age overnight. It was terrifying how fast a man could wither away. My father's death destroyed him."

"Which only proves your father was his only son,"

she continued. "So it's impossible for you to have a brother. The vile old woman is definitely playing a dirty trick."

"We'll play it by ear and look for her weakness," he agreed. "I honestly don't care about the money, but I'm worried things will get difficult for you at the company."

Ever since Donovan turned himself in to take the fall and was sentenced to life in prison, Eleanor had become incredibly cautious.

Finding dirt on her wouldn't be easy, but if Quincy stepped out of the shadows and into the spotlight...

Taking her down would become far simpler.

A secret this filthy had been impossible to dig up when hidden, but now it would leave a trail.

Quentin's primary concern was Madeline.

She had joined as President, so Eleanor making Quincy the CEO—a position directly above hers—was a blatant move to target her.

If Madeline succeeded in turning the company around, Quincy would steal the credit and build his own authority.

If she made a mistake that caused losses, he would easily scapegoat her for everything.

Which would then result in the board turning on Quentin as well.

It was a deeply sinister strategy.
