Betrayed by the Father Reborn in His Rival's Arms novel Chapter 449

From afar, she spotted Madeline and Quentin entering. Her gaze lingered on his striking features for a second.

Then, it brushed dismissively over Madeline, her smile widening maliciously.

"Thank you all for taking the time to attend our wedding,"

she cooed into the microphone, her voice dripping with artificial sweetness.

"Today, we have another special piece of joyous news to share. My grandmother, the Chairwoman of The Prescott Group, Eleanor, has an announcement to make."

The crowd immediately turned their attention to the matriarch seated at the head table.

Dressed in a dark red, elegant gown, she looked remarkably vibrant. Her sharp eyes gleamed with an unfathomable, calculating light.

Supported by her assistants, she slowly rose and made her way to the stage to take the microphone.

"Esteemed friends and family, I would like to use the joyous occasion of my granddaughter Lily's wedding to announce something of great importance."

Her voice wasn't loud, but it echoed clearly across the venue.

"The Prescott Family has another grandson who has been living away from us. His name is Quincy Zale Prescott, and he is Quentin's older brother.

Starting today, he will officially return to his roots, inherit all my shares in The Prescott Group, and take on the role of CEO."

The entire venue erupted in an uproar.

The elite guests, who had been invited under the guise of celebrating the family's princess, all knew Quentin was the sole heir.

Everyone had always assumed she was merely holding onto the reins while he came of age.

Now, a sudden "brother" had materialized out of thin air, parachuting straight into the CEO seat. It was blatantly obvious—she had no intention of handing the company back and was actively stripping Quentin of his inheritance rights.

The crowd was deeply shaken.

The old woman was in her twilight years; she couldn't live forever. No matter how much power she hoarded, it was all supposed to eventually pass down to him.

But now, he was no longer the primary successor, replaced by this sudden Quincy?

How could they not be shocked?
