Kevin’s face twitched as he realized his verbal slip. “You worthless piece of trash! If something like this happens again, you can forget about taking over my position!”
Quinton touched his burning cheek, his eyes filled with viciousness. He hid it well, though, replying obediently, “I’ve learned my lesson. I will definitely remember it.”
Kevin grunted and asked, “How are the recent matters you’ve been handling going?”
Quinton straightened his posture. “I’ve basically familiarized myself with and mastered all of the Wright family’s internal affairs. The family’s income has also increased by 500 million this quarter.”
He tried hard to hide the pride in his voice, but failed to mask it completely.
Kevin smiled approvingly. “Not bad. You truly are the Wright family’s most outstanding member of the next generation. Keep up the good work. At this rate, whether it’s me or the family elders, we’ll likely all choose you in the end.”
The ambitious Quinton nodded. “Father, the current achievements don’t satisfy me. My goal is to at least have the Keller family under our feet. At a minimum, I want our Wright family to become the leader among the Five Apex Families. We Wrights no longer need to keep a low profile!”
Kevin waved his hand dismissively. “It’s good to have dreams, but you need to be realistic. As things stand, we Wrights still aren’t in a position to challenge the Keller family.”
Quinton glanced at Yara and suddenly smirked. “By the way, Father, you also assigned Yara some tasks, didn’t you? I wonder if she has lived up to your expectations?”
Kevin shook his head. “Yara is just a girl after all, unlike you. Even if she doesn’t achieve results, as her father, I can’t demand too much from her.”
Though he tried to sound reasonable, his condescension and disregard were evident. Clearly, in the Wright family, apart from Quinton, people like Yara never received much attention. No one expected them to accomplish anything significant.
“I’m sorry to disappoint you both, but everything on my end is going very well. The South Lake villas will be completed soon,” Yara stated expressionlessly.
Kevin was surprised. “So quickly? Yara, you’ve made great progress.”
Quinton sneered. “Our family’s main industry is backing you, with the family putting in the effort for you. Of course, you didn’t have to lift a finger. Yara, relying on family resources doesn’t count as an ability. Why don’t you tell us what you’ve accomplished on your own?”
Kevin looked at Yara with an approving expression. “Take it slow, Yara. Being able to handle the family’s affairs properly is already impressive enough.”
Yara replied calmly, “Besides family matters, I’ve also made some progress in other areas. For example, I’ve already established contact with Supreme Capital Group. We’re just waiting for a suitable project to begin cooperation.”
“Furthermore, I even made some small progress with Mr. Andrew Lloyd from Supreme Capital Group,” she continued, her tone measured. “I wonder if you consider these achievements not worth mentioning?”
Kevin frowned. “Supreme Capital Group? Mr. Lloyd? Which company in Blumedale is that? Which figure? I can’t recall off the top of my head.”
Quinton quickly interjected, “It’s just a garbage company, not worth mentioning at all!”
