Old Mr. Quintin furrowed his brows in thought before finally speaking up, "Estelle, I guess I didn't think this through. You're right, I was too hasty. I might end up doing more harm than good."
Estelle replied, "Evelyn is still young, and if things get serious, you'll have plenty of time to dote on her. There's no need to rush."
Old Mr. Quintin nodded in agreement, "Alright, I'll take your advice. I won't bring up her and Gabriel's situation anymore."
Just as Estelle was about to respond, she noticed a shadow flit past the doorway. Soon after, the door swung open and Evelyn stood there, holding a cup of tea, and said with a smile, "Estelle, I made it in the kitchen. I brought some for you."
"Thanks, Evelyn," Estelle stood up to take the steaming cup.
"This is for you, grandpa," Evelyn set down the tea she had prepared for Old Mr. Quintin and added with a grin, "You two chat. I'm going to check on Sophia."
With that, Evelyn turned and left.
Once outside the study, Evelyn's expression darkened. She glanced back at the firmly shut door, pursed her lips, and walked away.
Inside the study, Old Mr. Quintin took a sip of his tea and said slowly, "Let's not mention Evelyn for now, but keep an eye on that Sylvia."
"Sylvia's a good girl, not at all what you're thinking." Estelle chuckled. "And her relationship with my brother is quite complicated."
She paused before adding, "I'll bring Sylvia over to meet you sometime. She loves art and often visits galleries; she just hasn't formally studied it."
Old Mr. Quintin waved a dismissive hand, "No need, I've decided not to match Nana with Gabriel, and I'm not impressed with Sylvia either. It's better if we don't meet."
Knowing Old Mr. Quintin's stubborn nature, Estelle didn't press the issue further and took a sip of her tea, asking, "Any news from Vivian?"
Old Mr. Quintin's mood seemed to darken as he shook his head, "I called yesterday, and her assistant answered, saying she was very busy."
"Don't worry, master, Vivian will come back," Estelle reassured him.
"Yeah, no rush. Now that Nana has been found, she'll definitely return."
"That's right."
Old Mr. Quintin smiled, "I always feel at ease talking to you. You should come by more often."
Gabriel stood up, "You're off to see Xavier? I'll come with you."
The three of them headed out together, leaving Old Mr. Quintin to walk over and take a seat, saying with a chuckle, "Everyone's gone. Looks like it's just you and me now."
Old Mr. Jarvis inquired, "What did Estelle tell you?"
Old Mr. Quintin didn't beat around the bush, "Estelle said to drop the matter of Evelyn and Gabriel's engagement."
Old Mr. Jarvis laughed, "Estelle's got more sense than you, old man."
"Hmph," Old Mr. Quintin turned away with a snort of disdain.
On the way to the barbecue restaurant, Estelle's phone rang. It was Jason on the line.
He was clearly worried, "How's Sophia doing?"

Someone needs to send a new picture of Trevor to Oliver and Luke so that they will get their requested reports to Gonzalez asap. If they didn't know, now they know what awaits them if they continue to disrespect and NOT follow orders....
Well, well, well. I love how Gonzalez sent out the warning that he's the CEO and either they will acknowledge him as such or get their due diligence. I'm waiting to see how the Franco family will be walking on eggs and come into a new understanding of Gonzalez taking charge. Thank you so much for the five updates....
Adrian is hoping that he has a chance with Norah and will do everything and anything in his power to keep Norah and Xavier apart....
Thank you for the updates. I hope that Norah will remember Xavier and their relationship before the accident and that they will ever be to....
Thank you, thank you for the updates today, which is also my birthday. The saga continues. I really want Norah and Xavier to be together... but he has to want Norah....
May we have updates please. Thank you....
Why can't m Xavier just admit that he loves Norah...
