Chapter 1770

[ 632 words ]

Even if she couldn’t completely block Quentin from getting together with that girl, she was determined to make their lives a living hell.

While the newly reunited family celebrated, Claire and Pandora were essentially just there for the ride.

Queenie didn’t just present the photographs as proof; she handed over the massive dossier of investigation files she had compiled over the years to Yvette and Quentin.

“These documents prove my identity beyond a shadow of a doubt, but we can do a DNA Paternity Test this afternoon.”

“Once the results are in, everything will be finalized.”

Yvette and Quentin were cautious, but Queenie was even more so.

She had kept her search highly classified, but rumors had inevitably leaked over the decades.

Grifters had repeatedly tried to present fake “relatives” to her, even going so far as to forge DNA results.

Because of that history, even with everything aligning perfectly, Queenie absolutely insisted on an ironclad DNA test.

She refused to blindly hand over her empire without scientific absolute certainty.

“Also, regarding your leg-if you want a full recovery, you should come abroad with me.”

“The medical technology there is vastly superior. We can focus on your physical therapy while I slowly introduce you to the business operations.”

“I know the Young family owns several supermarkets, and Yvette, I know you aren’t hurting for money, but the boy needs proper grooming.”

“Even if he has zero interest in running the empire, he needs to understand how it works so he isn’t bled dry by Asset Managers down the line.”

Asset Managers?

Yvette was comfortable, sure, but her wealth was built entirely on her father’s groundwork. She had never been particularly ambitious.

Hearing her mother-in-law casually mention corporate Asset Managers made Yvette’s head spin. Exactly how massive was this inheritance her son was stepping into?

Wasn’t this like a winning lottery ticket dropping straight out of the sky?

It was a shocking windfall, and nobody was ever going to complain about getting richer.

But if her son went abroad for treatment, what was she supposed to do?

Tag along? Or back off completely and let her mother-in-law mold him?

She knew that if Queenie truly was a corporate titan, Quentin’s future would be infinitely brighter in her hands.

Besides, he was a grown man. He was always going to leave the nest eventually.

A man had to carve out his own empire.

But he was still her baby. The

thought of him moving overseas et

and potentially only seeing him once every few years was terrifying. What if he decided to stay there forever…?

Queenie read every flicker of anxiety and temptation on Yvette’s face.

“Don’t worry. He won’t be staying abroad.”

“My overseas empire already has a designated successor. Finding you doesn’t change that arrangement.”

“What Quentin will inherit is the entirety of my Solenian operations.”

Queenie laid her cards on the table immediately. She was wealthy, and she had

zero interest in playing mind games to test their character.

She was a seasoned predator, and both Yvette and Quentin were incredibly naive by comparison.

She wasn’t worried about them scheming for her money.

In fact, she wanted them to be hungry for it. Her only real fear was that this mother- son duo lacked ambition altogether.

And Queenie’s instincts were spot

on. Yvette was floored by the sheer scale of the domestic and

international assets, but beyond the initial shock, she literally couldn’t fathom how one would even begin to spend that kind of money.

Quentin was even more amusing. His entire soul was dedicated to dancing He didn’t care how many.. zeros were in the family bank

account, and he had zero interest in corporate management.

Queenie’s strategic corporate planning was entirely lost on them. It was like winking

at a blind man.

Standing off to the side, Claire observed the entire exchange with perfect clarity, quietly marveling at how refreshingly simple Quentin was.

To stare down an inheritance of that magnitude without blinking—he truly was a man possessed by the stage.
