Sign the Papers Mr. Langford novel Chapter 551

Quentin set his teacup down.

"At the very least, we can drag this out as an old family feud."

"But Wren has the finalized first page."

"Only the first page," Quentin said, shooting Lydia a cold glare. "Without Attachment Two, she can't prove the data actually leaked. Vivian didn't sign it, so we can claim the project was never officially launched."

Lydia's lips parted.

"Then Vanguard's money..."

Quentin's expression darkened.

"Shut up."

Startled, Lydia took a half-step back.

At that moment, Willow pushed the door open.

She had just returned from outside, carrying a faint scent of the crisp evening air. Hearing the word "Vanguard," a subtle shift flickered in her eyes.

"Dad, your interview was great just now."

Quentin glanced at her.

"You need to go out less these days."

"I was just seeing some friends."

Quentin scoffed.

"Are these friends of yours going to get the Whitaker estate out of this mess?"

Willow ignored the jab.

She walked over to the sofa and sat down, her tone softening.

"At least now, people will think Wren is just exploiting an old case for publicity. As long as she's dragged into this narrative, the Stellaris review will take a hit too."

Quentin stared at her.

"What did you do?"

Willow smiled.

"Dad, didn't you say it yourself? We all need to look forward."

Quentin's expression didn't relax.

He knew this daughter of his entirely too well.

Willow had grown up in the cracks of the Whitaker family. She knew exactly how to cry to get her way, and she knew how to snatch what she wanted. The more casually she spoke, the more likely it was that she had already set something in motion.

"Don't mess with Lawrence," Quentin warned her. "He might not be on your side anymore."

The smile on Willow's face faded slightly.

"I know."
