At this, he paused, his voice growing colder, "It's just that I didn't expect to be defeated not by Charlie, but first by my own family. How ironic."

"Quentin..."

Eva, as if she didn't know Quentin anymore, shook her head in disappointment, "How can you say that? He's your father, your own father..."

"My own father?"

Quentin, with his back to Eva, laughed self-deprecatingly, "From childhood, both mom and dad favored my older brother the most. After he disappeared, if I hadn't used strong measures, dad would have handed Grand Era Group over to the third brother. I've always been the least favored in the family. Now that the older brother has returned, just for a small mistake I made, they want to discard me. Does he deserve to be my father?"

After saying this, he didn't linger and walked away.

Eva watched his retreating figure, her heart sinking bit by bit.

Quentin had never spoken these words to her before, nor had he ever shown such feelings. Only today did she realize how deep Quentin's resentment was toward Old Master Lesser and Old Mrs. Lesser...

Then what about her?

Although what happened years ago was an accident, and he had waited for her for so many years, with his mentality of even resenting his own parents, he must have harbored resentment towards her over the years, right?

At this moment, she finally understood why Quentin hated Charlie so much and wanted to put him in a grave situation. It turned out, he had transferred all his resentment towards her onto Charlie!

Eva felt very anxious, but now, with Old Master Lesser's life hanging in the balance, without calling Quentin back, as a daughter-in-law, she had to return to take care of Old Master Lesser!

After a whole night of emergency treatment, Old Master Lesser's life was finally saved, but he had undergone surgery and was now under observation in the ICU.

Andrew was sitting outside the ward with Old Mrs. Lesser. Glancing back at the ward door, Andrew's expression darkened.

"Mom..."

His voice was soft but resolute, "I'm not suitable to be the general manager of Grand Era Group. Over the years, I haven't contributed anything to the Lesser family, and I don't understand how to manage a company. Dad's sudden decision to hand it over to me... I'm afraid..."

"Andrew."

Old Mrs. Lesser sighed, her fingers gently grasping Andrew's hand, "I know, you've always disliked business. After you disappeared, your father and I regretted forcing you for a long time. But the situation is different now."

Eva sat opposite them. Old Mrs. Lesser wasn't avoiding Eva, but since Eva was Quentin's wife, it wasn't appropriate to speak ill of Quentin in front of her. She turned her face towards Andrew, lowering her voice to the minimum.

"Andrew, you've seen how extreme Quentin's behavior has become. Actually, I not only agree with what your father said today, but I also strongly support it. He's going down a wrong path. If we continue to let him manage Grand Era Group, not to mention the company, I fear the Lesser family itself might fall into his hands. Andrew, I'm begging you, for the sake of the entire Lesser family, you need to step up and take charge."

She tried to keep her voice as low as possible, but at that moment, Eva stood up and walked towards them.

Eva first looked at Old Mrs. Lesser, then turned to Andrew, sighing deeply, "Big brother, mom is right. Quentin's thoughts are very extreme now. If he continues to control Grand Era Group, I fear the Lesser family will be doomed!"
