Too Late to Hold Me Back novel Chapter 336

"If she's so flawless, why didn't you make Lawrence marry her?

If I'm not mistaken, they're currently sleeping together. Don't tell me you don't know."

"They are cousins!"

"So what? Didn't you say 'she's just a woman, it doesn't matter'?

By the way, my grandmother has been dead for years, hasn't she?"

Owen asked abruptly.

"What about it?"

Leonard's instincts screamed that nothing good was about to follow.

"I was just thinking, since you're so lonely, why don't you marry Quinn yourself?"

"I'll kill you!"

Leonard raised his cane and swung it fiercely at Owen, but Owen effortlessly caught it mid-air.

The old man started wheezing with rage again while his assistant frantically rubbed his back.

Turning his head, Leonard suddenly noticed Mira standing off to the side, her eyes wide as she eagerly absorbed every drop of the family drama.

"Lune! What the hell are you doing here?"

He hadn't paid her any attention at first, assuming she was just one of Owen's assistants.

But looking closely, he recognized the star from last night's concert.

Was this girl out of her mind? When a family was fighting, wasn't it basic etiquette for an outsider to leave the room?

"Oh, nothing. I'm just here to keep my friend company."

Who asked you to keep him company? You're blatantly eavesdropping on a private family dispute!

Seeing the old man glaring at her, Mira waved a hand. "Don't mind me. Please, carry on."

Carry on with what? Beating each other up for your entertainment? The girl was utterly shameless.

"Grandfather, since we clearly have nothing left to say to each other, let's just go our separate ways."

He stood up to leave, still holding onto the old man's cane.

They could easily claim that your personal empire is legally part of the Lance family's assets.

You need to do this now, before they realize just how wealthy and powerful you truly are."

She was absolutely right.

"I'll take your advice."

"Wow, I didn't expect you to be so obedient."

...

Leonard Lance had arrived at the hotel full of hope, only to leave in bitter defeat. His initial joy at his grandson's return had been thoroughly extinguished.

The bridge between them was burned to ashes. But the enemies on the other side were his own son and his other grandson. How could he just throw them out on the street?

Yet, if he kept them around, his brilliant eldest grandson would never return.

Having witnessed Owen's spectacular success, Leonard had zero faith in Lawrence's ability to run the corporation, and the shareholders were already on the verge of mutiny.

With a heavy heart, Leonard realized he had no choice but to take things one step at a time.
