Seeing Peter sitting there with a sour look on his face, Michael asked casually, “Didn’t you say Rebecca was here? Where is she?”

“As the Quinn family’s precious little princess, of course Dad took her to show her around the Hanson residence,” Peter said with a mocking tone, shooting Michael a look full of disdain.

Michael didn’t ask any more questions and just walked over to his seat and sat down.

“Aren’t you going to go see her?” Peter said, his tone dripping with sarcasm. “Our niece has got a temper on her, just like Amelia–she’s not easy to handle.”

“Works out pretty well,” Michael replied, sounding completely unbothered. “A girl with that kind of attitude isn’t going to get taken advantage of out in the world.”

Peter’s scowl deepened.

Peter didn’t care that Michael was the head of the family–he just let him have it. “Come on, it’s just us brothers here. Drop the pretense, all right? No one knows better than you do that you don’t want Amelia or Rebecca back in the Quinn family.”

“They’re part of the Quinn family. Why wouldn’t I want them here?” Michael never let anyone see what he was really thinking.

“Hypocrite,” Peter scoffed. “Let’s see if you can keep pretending you don’t care when Dad tells you to sell off the shares that belong to Amelia to her daughter, and at the original price, no less.”

‘Michael glanced over at Peter. “Aren’t you handing over your shares too?”

“Mine are hardly worth mentioning, so it doesn’t matter either way,” Peter shrugged, sounding completely laid–back. “You’re the one with the big chunk.”

Michael’s expression stayed unreadable–he didn’t mean a word of it. “Those shares belong to Amelia anyway.”

Peter let out a dry laugh.

Yeah, those shares really do belong to Amelia.

If it weren’t for Amelia, the Quinn Group wouldn’t even exist, and the Quinn family might’ve been kicked out of The Big Four Families ages ago.

But once you’ve been in the game for so long, it’s hard to let go. If Michael hands over those shares to Rebecca, he’ll just be a figurehead as the head of the family, and even his son Max will get dragged down with him.

There’s no way Michael would ever give up those shares.
