Mr. Han was quiet for some time, but that was only because he was trying to find the right words to say amidst the anger and confusion that gripped him.“Do you realize that this is Mr. Han? I’m sure you know the kind of person I am.” Quin scoffed. “You are the older version of your son. You think the world revolves around you because you have some little power you acquired forcefully. Your son and the Doctor will be locked up for a very long time, and you are next.”“Who the hell is this?! What have you done to my son! I will look for you, and when I find you, I will kill you!”“That’s a shame, Mr. Han. You don’t have to look for me, because you already know where to find me.” Quin said calmly, and then he sniggered at the man who was still struggling to figure out who he was.“Mr. Quin?” He said as soon as he recognized Quin’s voice from the snigger.“Good! You are smart, I love it when people are smart. This makes it easier for us.”“How dare you!?” Mr. Han was furious. He growled

At that moment, everyone was silent including Quin. But as soon as the crowd saw who the commenter was, they began to whisper among themselves.“That’s Mr. Dan Rodrigues. Lady Xerxes’ ex-fiancé.” “I heard she dumped him after she found out that he was after her money and was sleeping with one of her employees.”“You are correct! They used to run the company together until he messed up and she ended things with him.”Quin had never met the man before, but from the little gossips he was able to pick from the crowd, he had a little idea about him.The was barely five feet tall, and with a face that looked like he had never smiled in his life. Quin wondered why Lady Xerxes chose to be with that kind of person, but he had to get distracted as soon as Dan halted his steps in front of him.“It is you, you are the Doctor everyone has been talking about.” Dan scowled at Quin as though he had taken what rightfully belonged to him.Anyone who saw the two of them could feel that they had known

Everyone was full of anticipation in the city over what was going to happen between Quin and Dan who looked like he was going to do something to hurt Quin if he didn’t back off from the position of President of Lincoln holdings, and that was not going to be the first time he would do that.Dan’s reputation had also been accompanied by so much news about how he treated people and bullied them like they didn’t matter at all.His family owned so many properties all over the city, and that gave him access to so much authority and power, but he needed more badly, and looked like in his desperation, he could do anything to get what he wanted. But Quin still remained unfazed by all of that. He was preparing for the greatly anticipated event that Emily about the next day.After checking the mirror to be sure that his tie was perfect, he headed out of the mansion and searched for his car.He grunted as soon as he remembered that his car had been burnt by Angus and his mercenaries. “I will ma

More people were heading into the hall. The news that the rumored husband of the precious daughter of the Famous family had arrived spread and everyone wanted to see what he looked like.Emily smiled when she saw more people walking into the hall, and she waited to make sure that they were all in suitable positions.“I see that you still insisted on coming to this party even after you did to, Quin. Where is your shame?” James had been waiting for the right time pounce on Quin, and as soon as the music stopped, he continued.“I am here to clean up the mess you made, Quin. Emily told me about the way you put them into trouble by attacking Mr. Ham’s son. I am kind enough to render my help…”“Oh, really?” Quin reacted the way no one had expected him to react. He looked at James like he didn’t matter and that gave him negative goosebumps. “You should be grateful to James, Quin. He has decided to help us deal with the terrible situation you put us in. I hope you don’t try to ruin this one

Quin remained calm, he didn’t think he needed to prove to Emily that he was truly the president of Lincoln Holdings even though beyond all reasonable doubts she could have believed him. Some of the guests were still whispering about the situation, they heard what was going on and had different opinions to talk about the situation. “This is wrong! How can that loser over there claim that he is the new president of Lincoln Holdings? Not even the Famous family have any right to claim that.” One of the male guests said with a disgruntled look while sipping wine from his glass.“I think he is trying so hard to prove that he is worthy of being married into the Famous family. Can’t you see the difference between the two of them? Emily deserves better.” Another scoffed, rolling her eyes at Quin. Emily saw that the commotion was getting intense. She sensed that Quin was going to ruin the party even before it got started.“Didn’t you hear me?! I asked you to tell everyone the truth before t

Quin was a bit disappointed that the old man didn’t want to give him a chance to explain before he began to give in to the accusations his three assailants were making against him.“You are getting this all wrong, Lord Famous. This is the new President of Lincoln Holdings.” Oliver made another attempt to convince the old man that Quin was telling the truth, but the look on his face showed that he doubted, even though he didn’t want to say it at that moment. “How have I offended you, Mr. Stone? Is this how you have chosen to make fun of my family? Is this worth it?”“I am confused, Lord Famous. Why would I want to make fun of you? My father was your best friend.”“Exactly, Mr. Stone! That is the reason why you shouldn’t be making such stories up. I will not stand here and watch you do this.” Lord Famous frowned. He looked very upset at that moment.“Quin? Why? Why did you choose to do this to me? Is it because we made you marry Emily against your wish?” The old man almost had tears o

It was Lady Xerxes, and her entrance stunned everyone except Quin.As she marched toward Quin with so much aura, everyone left the way while they kept on staring to be sure she was truly the one.“How is this even possible? Lady Xerxes is too busy to attend such parties.” A lady in a black gown said she couldn’t believe her eyes.“Could what Mr. Stone said be true? Is Quin the President of Lincoln Holdings?” Emily said to herself while she stared at Xerxes, who was ten times more sophisticated than she was.She could never bring herself to dine and wine on the same table with her, and she remembered all the times her grandfather had begged to be granted audience with her so that their family business could be saved.Lady Xerxes was moving only to Quin, who remained calm. Everyone thought she was moving to Oliver, who worked for her at first, but then they knew it wasn’t him when she stopped in front of Quin. “I am sorry for coming late.” Xerxes apologized, bowing in respect as she s

The look on the faces of the men showed that they were not pleased to see Quin, but it didn’t look like they had any choice since the decision had been made.All the men in the room decided not to speak except one, and he was ready to speak up no matter what.“This is unacceptable, Lady Xerxes! Why would you pick a random stranger to be the new president of Lincoln Holdings?! What happened to the four of us seated here?!” Mr. Stan Wales said.He was the biggest investor in the City and had shares in almost all the big companies in Eastside City. He had always had eyes on the position that was given to Quin, and he was the first to move the motion of casting the vote of no-confidence on Xerxes as a plot to take over by the time she was relieved of her position.“The decision has already been made, Mr. Wales. There is nothing you or anyone can do about this.” Xerxes stood her ground.With Quin’s presence, her confidence increased, and she was glad that he was there with him.“But we st

While Lady Xerxes was still struggling with her anxiety, Quin maintained his composure. He had his eyes staring at the men seated on the table with him one after the other.“Do something!” Lady Xerxes said with a loud whisper. She was still afraid of losing everything she had worked so hard to build for years.“I am pulling out as well! Ivan threatened too, and that caused her blood pressure to go higher than it was.“I think I will do the same if you allow this man to remain the President of Lincoln Holdings, Lady Xerxes,” Leo said, but it was clear to everyone that he had been forced to say what he said. The look on his face seemed like he didn’t want to leave. Stan sniggered at Quin. He was convinced that he was winning the show, and that meant that all his plans were going to work out just the way he expected. “It’s all over, Quin. If you want to show mercy to Lady Xerxes, I expect you to relinquish the position and hand it over to me. I am a better person to be in that position

“It’s about to go down! I am removing all the shares I have in this company. By the time I am done, you will have nothing remaining, Lady Xerxes.” Stan said while he waited for the person he was calling to pick.“I am doing the same as well.” Ivan said and picked up his phone, but Quin remained calm.“I am not sure if I can be able to trust you, Quin. This doesn’t look good at all.” Lady Xerxes expressed her worry, but Quin was there to give her assurance.“Don’t worry about them. I need you to trust me, can you do that?” Quin asked, and she nodded reluctantly. There was a voice inside her head that asked him to trust him.Stan wanted Quin to back down because he wanted to be the President of the company, but he didn’t budge.“Before the two of you make that call, I want you to look at the shareholders in this company.” Quin said calmly, and Ivan dropped his phone slowly from his ear.“What the hell are you talking about?” He asked, but Quin said nothing.“He is just bluffing.
