Chapter 862
Quentin’s shameless behavior left Mira utterly speechless. Sometimes, having incredibly thick skin really paid off.
Mira had actually secured phones for Liora Bennett and Celine Ward as well, planning to give them over the New Year holiday.
After classes let out that afternoon, Seraphina Quinn and her sister-in-law, Luna Lance, cornered Mira once again.
Seraphina’s eyes were bloodshot. “Are you happy now p>
“Happy about what p>
Mira honestly didn’t know what she was talking about.
“Cut the act. Owen just snatched the Lance Group CEO position. Don’t tell me you had no idea.
“You two did this on purpose. You just want to keep me beneath your heel p>
“On purpose? Beneath my heel?
“I’m not just keeping you beneath my heel. I’m lightyears ahead of you. Why would I care about doing this just to spite you?
“Seraphina, you are nothing but dust beneath my shoes, understand? No matter how hard you scheme, you will never be on my level.
“If you had any sense, you’d accurately weigh your own worth and find a guy who actually suits you. Don’t let your jealousy blind you. You’re only ruining your own life p>
Mira’s words were brutally harsh, but they were for Seraphina’s own good. She was only offering the warning out of respect for Grandma Eleanor.
But that was where her charity ended. Whether Seraphina listened was up to her.
Owen’s true motive was vengeance. Taking over the Lance family’s assets was merely a bonus.
Knowing her uncle and Gwen’s greedy personalities, who knew if this corporate shake-up would make them reconsider their plans?
Meanwhile, Owen was currently sitting in his grandfather’s estate.
“Let go of the grievances from the previous generation.
“Lawrence is your own brother. Don’t cause scenes that make us a laughingstock. Guide him well, and he can be an asset to you p>
Leonard stared intensely at Owen as he spoke.
“Grandfather, I treat all my subordinates equally. I won’t deliberately target anyone.
“If you don’t want us to clash, you need to tell him to actually obey the law and follow the rules. Then we won’t have any issues p>
Of course, that peace would only be temporary, Owen thought. As for mentoring Lawrence? That would happen when hell froze over.
And let go of the previous generation’s grievances? It was his mother’s murder. How could he possibly let that go?
Leonard frowned, his eyes locked on his eldest grandson with a complicated expression. “I’ll make sure he understands p>
“Grandfather, I need you to make Lawrence’s parents move out of that villa.” “Move out? Why?
“Your father and Lilian have lived there for years. Why should they move out now p>
If they were kicked out, the family would become a social joke. This grandson was becoming far too overbearing.
“That estate is my mother’s personal property, yet he’s living there with his mistress. Do you really think that’s appropriate p>
Not to mention, those were the very people who had murdered his mother.
Although they had erased the physical evidence years ago, every single red flag pointed directly at them.
“Lilian is your stepmother. I can
accept you refusing to acknowledge
her properly, but calling her a
mistress every time you open your
outh
What would outsiders think if they heard that? God, this boy is impossibly stubborn, Leonard sighed inwardly.
Though, to be fair, his son’s past behavior had been entirely disgraceful.
“Grandfather, stop playing dumb.
“Lawrence is only two years younger than me. When my mother passed, I was five. Which means Lawrence was already three years old.
“If Lilian wasn’t his mistress, then Lawrence is an illegitimate bastard p>
Owen held his grandfather’s gaze, absolutely unyielding.
Leonard had no counterargument. He could only pivot. “Wasn’t that property jointly owned by your parents?
“Since your mother is gone, your father has inheritance rights to her share p>
Leonard stated defensively.
“Inheritance? Does he even deserve that word? How much of my mother’s life has he already stolen?
“That was her personal property, purchased entirely with her own
money have the paper to net
prove it. It was never a joint asset p>
Three years ago, when Owen left, he hadn’t cared about these material things he only wanted to get as far away from those people as possible.
But his mindset had changed. He was going to take back everything that belonged
to his mother, down to the very last cent.
