Don't Fall For Me, CEO-Chapter 1075: An Illegitimate Daughter?

But Joseph didn’t expect to get feedback in just half an hour.

"The Earl said if you withdraw your investment now, you’ll have to compensate him twice the amount. He won’t lose out, it’s up to you."

"Two times the commission?"

It was only now that Joseph remembered when the Marsden Family wanted to increase their investment, the Earl had said the risks were too high, and he wouldn’t take over unless Joseph agreed that he would compensate double the investment amount should he withdraw without any loss.

But at the time, Joseph had been blinded by profit and agreed.

Since then, he thought that as long as he relied on the Earl, he could easily sit atop Desrozin City’s throne.

But now it seems...

At that time, his brain must have been kicked by a donkey.

Moreover, when you connect everything together, it’s easy for Joseph to think of the word "trap."

Yes, a trap.

The Earl likely approached the Marsden Family to help the Quinn Family, enticing him to experience the ease and pleasure of making money, then trapped him, binding the Marsden Family’s capital chain.

Currently, the Earl is using the Marsden Family’s money to invest in the Quinn Group, making it shine once more.

Joseph certainly doesn’t want the Earl to use the Marsden Family’s funds to pave the way for a competitor.

But if he withdraws the investment now, not only would the money already invested be completely lost, it would also cause significant internal damage.

If not withdrawing, he would just have to watch the Earl take his money to help the Quinn Group make profits?

Joseph could feel his blood pressure skyrocketing.

The only consolation was his commitment to taking care of his health.

Otherwise, the series of news he just received would have been enough to send him to meet his maker.

"So, should we withdraw the investment now?"

The person on the other end of the phone asked. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

"No!"

Right now, the Marsden Family’s funds are frozen, he can’t afford further losses.

The contract he signed with the Earl will expire in one month.

Yes, as long as he withstands this month, he can legitimately reclaim the funds.

Just one more month to endure.

"But without withdrawing, our current projects..."

Launching projects requires capital.

Now the capital chain is stalled, all projects are at a standstill.

If not started soon, the penalty fees would cause significant distress for the Marsden Family.

Joseph thought it over: "Sell the Penguin Hotel first."

Cutting the tail to survive, freeing up funds for the projects.

After giving instructions, Joseph asked: "The Quinn Family should be organising a funeral, find a few media outlets to stake out there and get some photographs to release."

Based on his deduction, Quinn’s health has been draining rapidly these past few years.

A few days without medication, not even a miracle would save him.

He’s likely already dead, but Laura Quinn is trying to maintain control, not daring to make it public.

But the more she tries to keep it low-profile, the more Joseph wants to make it widely known, letting Laura Quinn know he’s not someone to offend.

Unexpectedly, the people sent to stake out didn’t capture any funeral images of the Quinn Group, but brought him this set of pictures instead.

Under the sunlight, Quinn was accompanied by a young girl, strolling outside The Quinn Manor with a bird.

Not only was his mental state excellent, but the key was he had stood up!

It’s known that in the previous years, Old Master Quinn was so frail he couldn’t stand, relying on a wheelchair daily.

But now he’s not only alive, but standing?

Furthermore, who is the young girl beside him?

She looks extremely similar to Laura Quinn, but her age appears quite young.

A child in old age?

No, it’s definitely not.

Quinn’s wife has been dead for many years, and he’s never been seen with another woman.

That must be...

Joseph’s face immediately darkened!

Laura Quinn’s illegitimate daughter!
