Micheal's hand, poised to press a key on the keyboard, paused abruptly, and he looked up at Arthur again, "Grandfather, what else is there?"

Arthur suddenly smiled kindly, "Micheal, have you given Nancy the item I gave you?"

"Ah?"

Micheal was momentarily stunned, remembering the jade piece his grandfather had entrusted him to give to Nancy, which he had yet to do. Fearing Arthur's blame, he slapped his forehead hard, so much so that his forehead turned red.

"Ah, grandfather, things went so smoothly today that I actually forgot about it, I..."

"It's alright, I'm not blaming you."

Arthur's smile grew even gentler, "Just remember to give it to her the next time you see Nancy. You don't have to tell her the purpose of the jade yet, but you must let her know about the Thompson family's determination to befriend her. We must not allow her to harbor any dissatisfaction or aversion towards the Thompson family. If she encounters any danger or difficulty, you must do your utmost to assist her, understand?"

Micheal's lips twitched fiercely, suddenly feeling that grandfather was too biased towards Nancy.

They hadn't yet confirmed that Nancy was indeed part of the Thompson family, yet grandfather was already so protective of her. If it was confirmed that Nancy was a Thompson, would grandfather spend all day doting on her?

Ah... He could even imagine, if Nancy truly was part of the Thompson family, she would inevitably be the darling of all!

"Alright, grandfather, I understand."

...

Meanwhile, the Lesser family was caught in a storm.

Old Master Lesser, looking at the latest news, trembled with anger, his palm slamming down on a small table beside him, causing everyone in the room to hold their breath in fear.

"Quentin! Is this what you call a conspiracy?"

Quentin Lesser, head bowed, his icy gaze hidden behind his eyelids, but the cold aura around him was unmistakable.

Facing Old Master Lesser's interrogation, he remained silent, and the others didn't dare say a word either.

Old Mrs. Lesser gently patted Old Master Lesser's shoulder, soothingly saying, "Alright, don't be so angry, take care of your health, we can talk this out."

"A doting mother leads to a spoiled child!"

Old Master Lesser turned and roared at Old Mrs. Lesser, unable to contain his rage.

Feeling aggrieved, Old Mrs. Lesser turned her head away, remaining silent.

Old Master Lesser looked at Quentin again, his anger boiling over, "Quentin! What did I tell you before? It's necessary to be cautious of others, but you must not harbor ill intentions! How did Nancy offend you that you had to slander her like this? Now you've caused trouble not only for the Grand Era Group but also ruined the reputation of our Lesser family!"

In truth, everyone present knew that it wasn't Nancy who had provoked Quentin, but Charlie.

Yet, no one would speak up, all bowing their heads in silence.

With Old Master Lesser's authority in the Lesser family, no one dared to challenge him!

Seeing Quentin merely lowering his head, showing no sign of remorse, Old Master Lesser exploded, "Fine! You refuse to speak? Very well! The Grand Era Group isn't yours alone, I'll call a board meeting tomorrow, remove you from the general manager position, and from then on, neither you nor your daughter will set foot in the Grand Era Group again!"

Quentin suddenly lifted his eyelids, his lips tightly pressed, suppressing all his emotions inside. He just gave Old Master Lesser a glance, then abruptly stood up and walked towards the door without uttering a word...
