“No way.” Rebecca shot back without a second thought.

‘So that’s it. He was playing nice at first, now he’s bringing out the heavy guns, Rebecca thought to herself.

Max’s gaze stayed cold, his voice as frosty as winter. “I’m not joking. You’re not qualified to inherit these shares -just walk away, it’s best for everyone.”

“Whether I’m capable or not–that’s for me to decide, not you,” Rebecca replied, her tone calm and unyielding.

“As compensation, if you walk away from those shares, I’ll drop 30 million into your account every year,” Max said, his words landing like an ultimatum. “You’ll steer clear of all that family mess, and my life gets a whole lot easier.”

“I’m after the shares, not the money,” Rebecca shot back, her voice steady–she really meant it.

If Rebecca was after money, she’d have never pushed for a divorce from Jeffrey.

‘For Rebecca, some things were worth far more than money!’

Max’s eyes narrowed in confusion. “So what do you want, then?”

“I’m here to reclaim everything that should’ve been my mom’s–all that she was made to give up,” Rebecca replied, her gaze unwavering as she spoke each word with fierce determination.

“The Quinn family isn’t nearly as simple as you imagine,” Max warned coolly. “Put me aside–you’re not even on Jack Quinn’s level.”

Rebecca couldn’t care less about his words. “Anything else?”

“If you really want to get those shares back for your mom, don’t divorce Jeffrey,” Max said, letting his family ties show for once. “With him by your side, a lot of people won’t dare mess with you.”

“That’s really none of your business,” Rebecca shot back, getting to her feet.

If she was the kind of person to stay married just for the shares, she would’ve just agreed back when Jeffrey asked her to accept Andrea in their life.

In this life, you have to stand for something.

There are some things you simply have to hold on to–no matter what.

At least for now, she still couldn’t let go of what happened back then.

“Rebecca,” Max called out, stopping her.

Rebecca kept it distant, her voice frosty. “Is there something else, Mr. Quinn?

“If you can, try not to get too close to Jack Quinn. He’s a lot more complicated than you think. Max said, his voice flat and businesslike, just going through the motions.

“Don’t trouble yourself.” Rebecca answered coldly, then turned and walked away.
