Chapter 1407 - 1401: The Difficult Quinn Family
The two discussed for a long time, and finally, it was Juliana Lancaster who made the decision.
The daughter is about to give birth, and with such a condition, it’s not suitable to hold a wedding. If you really want to have one, wait until after the child is born to discuss it.
That day, Evander Lancaster suggested that Juliana move into his apartment with her daughter, after all, the environment there is better and the house is more spacious than here.
At first, Juliana refused, not wanting to add a burden to the two of them, but Evander said he had to work, and having the mother-in-law take care of his daughter is more reassuring than hiring a nanny.
For her daughter, Juliana had no choice but to agree.
Early the next morning, Evander drove the mother and daughter to the apartment. Seeing her son-in-law’s apartment was not only extremely luxurious but also clean, Juliana kept secretly sighing; she couldn’t understand the world of the rich.
She heard from her daughter that the decorative panel on the foyer wall cost tens of thousands of dollars. Tsk tsk, that’s several months’ salary for a normal family.
Worried that Evander’s extravagant spending might prevent him from saving money, Juliana uneasily asked, "Evander, how much is your monthly salary now?"
Seemingly noticing his mother-in-law’s concern, Evander took the clothes Juliana brought and walked toward the guest room, smiling as he said, "Mom, don’t worry, I guarantee you’ll have a comfortable life with Sophia."
Juliana wanted to ask something else, but Evander was already walking into the guest room with the luggage bag, while Sophia supported her mother’s arm as they made their way to the sofa.
"Mom, you don’t have to worry. Isn’t all his wealth practically in my hands? With your daughter in charge, you’ll never go hungry."
"Oh, stop it, you know that’s not what I meant!" Juliana laughed teasingly and settled in comfortably at her daughter’s home, where Evander hired a helper to come daily to clean the rooms and bring over some groceries.
At Juliana’s suggestion, the helper only handled the cleaning, leaving the grocery shopping to her, using it as a form of exercise.
...
Meanwhile, before heading off on vacation, Joseph Lancaster and Violet Zimmerman instructed their assistant to contact Dominic Quinn. Since it was the Lancaster Family that proposed the engagement, they didn’t want to involve the innocent, so Joseph prepared a contract indicating the cancellation of the marriage between Evander and Vanessa Quinn. As compensation, the Lancaster Family would hand over two projects from their subsidiary to the Quinn Family.
Joseph thought everything through carefully, but when the assistant discussed with Dominic Quinn, Dominic was playing hardball.
Dominic Quinn leaned back in his executive chair, legs crossed and propped up on the desk, clearly showing no respect for Assistant Wang.
Seeing his disrespectful behavior, Assistant Wang merely furrowed his brows slightly and did not argue. However, Dominic Quinn, with a half-smile, said, "Assistant Wang, technically, I shouldn’t make things difficult for you, since you’re just running errands!"
Hearing Dominic Quinn’s arrogant words, Assistant Wang found it amusing. Who was the Second Lord of the Lancaster Family? His assistant had more authority than the CEOs of most companies in T City!
But someone truly with power and ability would not say such things, and seeing Dominic Quinn’s brash attitude, Assistant Wang smiled and politely said, "Mr. Quinn, although I’m just running errands, this is an assignment from the Second Lord before his business trip, so I do have a say in this matter."
Assistant Wang subtly indicated that the Second Lord of the Lancaster Family had given him full authority to handle the matter!
Yet Dominic Quinn didn’t seem to appreciate this and picked up the contract to look at it before tossing it onto the desk with a sneer.
"The Second Lord thinks he can brush off the Quinn Family with just two small projects, what a joke!"
