Devon inquired.Travis furrowed his brow, delving into his memories before nodding in recognition. "Yeah, Gerald Kramer, the man who harbors deep animosity toward my father. I've never quite understood the reason behind their ongoing feud."Devon concurred with a nod. "Exactly. Well, Bianca paid him a visit, and I happened to overhear their conversation. They were discussing plans to bring your father down, and it's a grave situation because Mr. Kramer is fully committed to this scheme.

Quentin and his father were fraught with concern about their position in the corporate world. With a hint of nervousness in his voice, Quentin shared a thought that had crossed his mind, "Dad, could it be that the chairman of Danforth Group is planning a major reshuffle? It would explain why they chose Bloom Constructions, a lower-tier company, over all the top-tier construction firms in the country.""It's quite possible!" Quentin's father suddenly realized. "Since the new chairman took over, I haven't had an opportunity to visit. I've mentioned it to General Marshall numerous times, but he kept insisting that the new chairman isn't receiving visitors."Quentin's face displayed his concern as he let out a sigh and posed the question once more, "Dad, what can we do in this situation?"His father pondered for a moment before a realization struck him. "Ah, I remember! The Blooms are hosting a banquet tonight, and the memo mentioned that the chairman of Danforth Group will be in attendan

“...Sorry to burst your bubble, but that's nothing more than a lifelong fantasy."Seething with anger, Quentin's frustration reached its boiling point, causing his teeth to clench tightly as he directed a venomous glare at Travis. "You're a complete fool, Travis. Your self-importance will get you nowhere, do you understand? You are utterly incapable of giving her what she desires, but someone like me certainly can."Travis's voice grew colder as his patience wore thin. "It's about time you shut your vulgar mouth. You have no idea what I'm capable of if you continue spewing your filth in front of me."Quentin let out a disdainful huff, a smirk dancing across his face in amusement. "Are you trying to threaten me? You? Ha ha, you insufferable bastard!""It's not a threat, it's a warning," Travis clarified. Just as he was about to walk away, Quentin reached out and used his hand to stop him."Do you honestly think I'll simply let you off the hook after you've dared to threaten me, Travis

The remaining onlookers in the crowd were taken aback by the dramatic turn of events. Quentin, having answered the call, suddenly dropped to his knees before Travis, the son-in-law of the Bloom family. The scene left everyone in awe and curiosity.Travis, looking down at Quentin with a contemptuous smile, leaned in slightly and spoke in a low, icy voice: "I gave you a choice, but you made the wrong decision."Quentin's head shook frantically, his heart pounding in his chest. "I understand, Sir. I know I was terribly mistaken, and I sincerely apologize to you. I am kneeling here, begging for your forgiveness, Sir. Please, I implore you to save my family! I am deeply sorry. I never intended to meddle with you or Joanna, and I swear I have never laid a hand on her. You are right, I wouldn't dare to. I fabricated the stories about helping her with the Danforth Group cooperation. I beg you, please find it in your heart to forgive me and spare my family!"Quentin, with his head still bowed,
