Chapter 5

Did Darian and the others think I was a fool?

Before I could respond, a loud noise came from behind me.

A middle-aged man with a big belly walked over and many guests hurriedly stood up to greet him.

Seeing the fat middle-aged man, his eyes suddenly lit up. He left me and hurried over to the man.

Darian smiled brightly and said in a slightly humble and flattering tone, "Mr. Garfield, you are finally here."

"It is such an honor for me that you can take time out of your busy schedule to attend my son's birthday party."

Not only Darian, but also Aleena and our son acted fawning and licking in front of Martin Garfield.

Many guests were whispering to each other.

"Although the Quinndom Group has gradually declined over the years, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse."

"The Vice President of the Ethereal Group, Martin Garfield, even come here. Does this mean that the Quinndom Group has established a connection with the Ethereal Group?"

"If that's the case, then the Quinndom Group is likely to be reborn from the ashes. Who doesn't know that Ethereal Group is a huge company? As long as they can hold onto Ethereal Group's thigh tightly, they can fly up."

"Even though Martin is the Vice President of Ethereal Group, he only holds a temporary position and does not have much real power. If it weren't for him being the nephew of Kyler Etheridge, how could he have become the Vice President of Ethereal Group?"

"That's also his ability. If you have the ability, go find an uncle who is born rich!"

Martin was very arrogant. He shook hands with Darian and said calmly, "Mr. Quinn, I'm busy, I don't have much time. Let's sign the contract first!"

"After signing the contract, I'll go back and tell my uncle about investing in your company. How about that?"

Darian was a little hesitant.

Aleena hurriedly said, "No problem, we can sign the contract now."

After that, she whispered to Darian. "If we can't seize this opportunity, the Quinndom Group will really be finished."

"The Quinns' manor is not very useful to us. Even if we sell it at a high price, we can only get fourteen million dollars at most, which is not enough for the company's capital operation."

"Although Mr. Garfield has lowered the price of the manor and only offered one million four hundred thousand dollars, as long as he can convince Mr. Etheridge to invest in our company, all of this doesn't matter!"

Haghen also advised Darian, saying, "Dad, if our company goes bankrupt, it's useless to keep this house!"

"I don't want to live a poor life. You promised me that you would buy me a luxury car and a mansion after my seventeen birthday."

Darian excitedly nodded and said to Martin with a smile, "Okay, since Mr. Garfield has said so, I won't say much."

Martin smiled proudly, took out a contract to purchase the Quinn Family's manor and asked Darian to sign it.

I, who had been silent the whole time, said in a deep voice, "This manor is the ancestral property of the Quinns. Even if our parents were in the most difficult times, they never thought of selling it!"

"Darian, are you going to sell it for only one million four hundred thousand dollars?"

"If the ancestors of the Quinns knew about it, I'm afraid their graves would explode with anger."

Hearing this, Darian was furious and shouted at me. "Hansel, shut up!"

"You're just an adopted son and you dare to teach me a lesson?"

The Quinns’ manor is my property under my name. I can sell it if I want. If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will have someone kick you out right now!"
