“You got that right!” Peter quickly jumped in. “Only your big uncle could pull something like that.”
“Peter!” Michael’s face suddenly clouded over.
His good mood for the entire evening was shattered in that instant.
He honestly hadn’t expected Rebecca to have inherited so much of Amelia’s attitude when it came to stuff like this.
She always spoke with hidden barbs, never missing a chance to throw in a sharp jab.
“I’ll have someone send you the company documents and the assessment criteria in a couple of days,” Max said, his tone as cold as ever. “I’ll go over the details with you later.”
Rebecca replied, “Alright.”
“Come on, Cousin Rebecca, you’re really not sticking to your guns,” Jack teased, his tone light. “Uncle Michael just said he’d hand it straight over to you, didn’t he?”
Rebecca shot back, “Didn’t you hear him say there are risks involved?”
“Seriously? He’s the head of the family and CEO of Quinn Group. You think he can’t handle some tiny risk?” Jack said lazily, propping his chin up like he didn’t have a care in the world.
Rebecca said, “He could totally take care of it–he just doesn’t want to.”
“Then what’s with all that talk?” Jack questioned.
Rebecca replied, “Just so he can look like a big shot.”
Jack tsked, clearly enjoying the drama.
Michael was left speechless.
Michael was about to blow a gasket.
But he really couldn’t afford to blow up right now. If he let slip even a little bit of irritation toward Rebecca, all that pretending earlier would go straight down the drain.
“Mr. Sebastian Quinn, if there’s nothing else, I’m heading home,” Rebecca said. She really wasn’t in the mood to hang around any longer–tonight had peeled back the curtain on what the Quinn family was really like, and she didn’t need to see any more. ‘I’ve seen everything I needed to see, she thought.
Jack jumped in right away, flashing a grin as he said, “Let me walk you out, Cousin Rebecca.”
Sebastian’s eyes were full of unwillingness as he watched her go.
But he knew that tonight had upset Rebecca. He glanced over at Oliver and instructed, “Hand it over to her.”

Oliver immediately placed a box in Rebecca’s hands and said, “Ms. Rebecca, please accept this.”
Rebecca was like: ‘Huh?‘–totally lost for a moment.
“Come on, open it up,” Sebastian said.

Rebecca shot a quick look at everyone around her.
Sebastian noticed her hesitation and smiled, “It’s alright, go ahead.”
Rebecca rested her hand on the dainty sandalwood box, her slender, pale fingers gently lifting the lid. Nestled inside was a finely carved jade thumb ring, gleaming softly under the light.
‘Wait–what is this?‘ Rebecca thought, genuinely taken aback.
“Dad!” Peter snapped, unable to hold back anymore. “How could you give her something that valuable?”
“Dad, isn’t that a bit much?” Patricia added, her mood dropping fast. “Max is outstanding, and you’ve never given him anything like this. Why would you give it to someone who’s not even family?”
Michael’s face clouded over, dark and stormy.
No one could believe that Sebastian would actually present the jade thumb ring–the ultimate symbol of the Quinn family’s power–to Rebecca.
Traditionally, the jade thumb ring was supposed to be handed down through the generations–Sebastian would leave it to Michael after he passed, and Michael would pass it on to the most capable heir, Max.
But now…
It had somehow ended up in Rebecca’s hands!
An outsider–someone who wasn’t even a Quinn!
“What is this…” Rebecca murmured, her eyes widening as she caught the shock on everyone’s faces. “This must be some sort of big deal, she thought.
“It’s nothing particularly valuable, just something finely crafted that I thought you might like,” Sebastian said, playing it down. “If you like it, go ahead and put it on.”
The jade thumb ring was originally made to fit a man’s thumb.
Sebastian knew Rebecca’s fingers were way too slim for it, so before giving it to her, he had someone set an extra inner band to make sure it would fit her just right.
Rebecca instinctively glanced at Oliver and Max. Max didn’t bat an eye, and Oliver gave her a reassuring nod, signaling that it was okay to accept.
“This ring was your mother’s,” Sebastian said. Age had taught him a lot–he saw things clearer now. “I’m just giving it back to its rightful owner.”
