The bsecurity /bguard certainly recognized this man as the heir of the former Junior Quinn Group. But this was no longer the Quinn family’s territoryb. /bIt was now Hart Corporation. Of course, he couldn’t let Mason in.

The security guard stepped forward band /bbsaid /bfirmly, “Sorry, sir, you can’t enter

Mason’s beyes /bwidened as he red at the insolent security guard. ‘How dare this lowly guard try to stop me?” he furned inwardly. ‘He’s got some nerve. I have HR fire him immediately?

Tm giving you onest chance, Mason snapped. “Get out of my way now, or 111 call Sophie and you’ll regret it”

The security guard stood firm Just as Mason bwas /bbabout /bto explode, he spotted Zack, Sophie’s assistant. He bellowed, Zack, get your bass /bover here

Zack froze, then turned to see Mason. What’s he doing here? Zack frowned band /bwondered. Still, due to their past, he walked over.

bZack /bapproached politely and asked. “Mr. Quinn, may I ask bwhat /bbrings you here today?”

Seething with rage, bMason /bdidn’t even notice that Zack’s tone had be somewhat indifferent.

Fire him immediately. He’s ba /bplete idiot. He actually stopped me from going in. Where’s Sophie? I demand to see her now, Mason tried to barge in as he said.

But Zack swiftly stepped forward to block his path. “Mr. Quinn, you’re not allowed inside

Furious, Mason jabbed ba /bfinger at Zack and snapped, “Zack, now even you dare to stand in my way! Do you think I can’t do anything to you?”

Seeing Mason’s reaction, Zack realized that bMason /bprobably hadn’t heard about the Quinn bFamily’s /bbbankruptcy /byet.

Zack looked bat /bMason and said calmly, “Mr. Quinn, hasn’t your family informed you? This is no longer the Quinn Group”

“What do you mean by that!” Still furning, Mason froze at these words and wondered, “How can this not be Quinn Croup anymore!

Zack remained patient and exined bcalmly/b, “Mr. Quinn, the Quinn bGroup /bhas already gone bankrupt. This property now belongs to Hart Corporation. If you need confirmation, you can check the news onlineb./bb” /b

Mason immediately pulled out his phone. A tidal wave of trending news left him stunned band /boverwhelmed. Seeing his expression, Zack quietly bslipped /bbaway/b.

Zack was just an employee. After the Quinn Group went bankrupt and the Hart Corporation took over, the new management recognized hispetence and kept him on. For that Zack was simply grateful.

To Zack, loyalty meant nothing. It was just a paycheck, Whoever bpaid /bhim, that was who he worked for.

Mason finished reading the messages, utterly unable to ept them. His puplis diluted with shock as bhe /bscreamed. “No. This can’t be true. How could our family go bankrupt? bWhere’s /bSophie? Where is she?”

Mason screamed hysterically, while the security guard stood as brigid /bbas /ba tree, silent and watchful, ready to restrain him the moment he tried to charge inside.

“Mason, bwhere /bare your Sophie hade to the police station specifically to pick up Mason, but when she couldn’t find him, she tried calling, and to her surprise, he actually answered.

“Sophie, I’m outside Quinn Group. What the hell is going on bis /beverything they’re saying online really true? Mason asked.

Sophie paused for a moment, then said gently, “Juste back first We’ll btalk /bwhen you get here.”

Mason stepped binto /bthe tiny apartment, shocked by the appalling conditions. The ce bwas /beven smaller than his former bathroom. “How could anyone live like bthis/bb? /bhe thought in disbelief.

“Mom, bDad/bb, /bSophie, what the hell happened? How could our family go bankrupt?” Mason said.

Clearly. Mason couldn’t ept this. Just bdays /bago, he was the heir of Junior Quinn Group, living high, never worrying about money. Now they told Mason the family was bankrupt, penniless, forced to squeeze into this cramped room.

“Are you saying Sienna, Vivian’s sister, did all this?” Mason was both shocked and skeptical.

How could Hart Corporation possibly have bankrupted the Quinn Group, let alone taken over ourpany!‘ he wondered

Sophie lowered her head, her eyes burning with bitter resentment and envy. “That bitch bhas /bties with SIE Corporation. Now Hart Corporation’s got SIL backing them up,” she bsaid/b.

“How could this het How could SIE Corporation bpossibly /bteam up with a small fry like Hart Corporation! 1-1 don’t believe it. T–There must be—” For a long mortsent, Mason racked his brain but couldn’te up with a usible reason.

Amelia grabbed Mason’s hand, her voice trembling with excitement. “Mason, this changes nothing. You and Vivian are still engaged, You’re in a rtionship

“bAs /blong as you two get married, the Quinn Group will still be yours, and our family can bgo /bback to the way things were. So go find Vivian right now and marry her immediately.

pping his hands in sudden realization, Mason eximed. Tve got it. This was all Vivian’s scheme. She orchestrated the Quinn Group’s bankruptcy just to force me toe to her. She wants to be with me that badly.”

“Exactly. Mason” Amelia said innocently, “You’re absolutely right. Vivian is so obsessed with you. Everything she’s done is just for you.”

They were well aware of how bobsessively /bin love Vivian way with Mason. If Vivian marries Mason, I’ll make sure she pays dearly for it, Amelia thought to herself, feeling quite bpleased /b

Mason fell silent, utterly shaken. I never imagined Vivian would be so obsessed with me, he thought, ‘She’d even resort to such extreme measures just to be with me. Well, I suppose I could reluctantly marry her

Vivian had no idea what kind of schemes the Quinn family was ploning. She just went about her bwork /bbas /bbusual/bb, /bpletely unfazed.

Ever since Sienna bhad /blocked her up in the dark room, Linda hadn’t dared show her face around Sienna anymore. Whenever Sienna was bat /bhome. Linda would stay hidden in her room.

Linda’s first reaction was disbelief when she bsaw /bthe news about the Quinn family’s bankruptcy and Hart Corporation’s partnership with SIE Corporation. How could bSienna /bbpossibly /bpull this off? she thought

Aiden looked at Sienna, who was reading on the sofa, and smiled as he asked, “Sienna, I’m impressed you actually managed to get 512 Corporation to partner with Hart Corporationb./bb” /b
