All Chapters of The Return: Dad Quest Initiated: Chapter 291 - Chapter 300

At the lobby of the Marquez Group building.Shawn finally released his grip on Hattie after he managed to drag her downstairs with much difficulty, and before he could say anything, she immediately slapped him.A loud smack was heard. Shawn’s head turned to the side from the force of the slap, and a visible imprint of her hand could be seen on his face.Hattie had placed a lot of force behind the slap, so her hand stung from the impact, and her fingers trembled slightly. However, it didn’t help to quell her anger, and she pointed furiously at him as she said, “What the hell do you think you’re doing? I wanted to find out why Javier didn’t attend the gala. Do you know how the other Marquez family members looked at me as I sat there? What about my pride as a Snyder?”Shawn felt his own temper flaring up, and the look in his eyes hardened. “I’m begging you, Hattie, stop being so naïve and get your facts straight. You were the one who wanted to attend the gala. Besides, you and Javier

Furthermore, with his quirky character, Charles wouldn’t take anything Claire told him seriously and would probably snuff her out before she could even tease him. Hence, she did not need to waste her breath or energy on him when nothing would come out of it, so she should just focus on handling her own matters. Moreover, she could barely take care of herself right now to have the mind to care about him.She glanced at the clock at the thought of this and realized that it was already 11.30 pm. Without sparing any more time with him, she tidied up the table and collected her things before heading upstairs. She took extra care when climbing the stairs and trod lightly so she wouldn’t wake him. She might dislike him very much, but it wasn’t to the point of hatred, except when he did things that made her abhor him.Once Claire had tiptoed upstairs, she quickly set her things on the table, grabbed her pajamas from the closet, and entered the bathroom. It wasn’t long before the sound of flo

The female secretary quickly collected herself.Charles opened his computer the moment he sat down in his office.“Your breakfast, sir.” He wasn’t one to eat at home before coming to work, so a female assistant placed food she usually bought before him.“No thanks.” He was so engrossed with the numbers on his computer that he didn’t even look up at her when he replied.The assistant took the sandwich away with a look of surprise on her face. She wondered, “Is the president unwell today?” However, this wasn’t unusual as well. Rumors had it that he was a womanizer, so he probably spent the night at a woman’s place yesterday. She couldn’t help being curious about this woman who had managed to capture his interest. She didn’t think about it further and returned to her desk to continue working.It had been two hours since Charles arrived at the office. His face grew darker and darker as he looked at the information on his computer. He didn’t expect the company’s performance to be so po

All eyes were fixed on Joe, who chose to remain silent at that moment. He still sat there impassively as if he was frozen in time.In reality, those close to Joe could easily see that he was currently furious, seeing as his expression had already darkened.Joe then shot a glare at Pedro, completely revealing the resentment in his eyes.Pedro was so frightened that he shrank back in fear. At the same time, he had just found out that Javier had spent 100 million dollars for the sake of a woman’s life.He had no idea how the director, who was also his younger brother, found out about it.The people in the conference room didn’t dare to make any noise, let alone urge Joe to come up with a response. All they did was watch the elderly chairman anxiously as though they were waiting for the final judgment.Of course, Pedro was the most anxious one out of all. He had already predicted that today’s incident would cause a huge uproar.However, he had witnessed the others targeting Javier r

When Yannis heard Morrow’s complaints, he just snorted loudly before turning to glare at him in disappointment.“It’s all because of you, you useless brat! If it weren’t for you fooling around instead of contributing to the Marquez Group, your grandfather wouldn’t have insulted you to this degree!”Morrow had no choice but to endure Yannis’ lecture.He was dissatisfied on the inside. Yannis was the one who kept fooling around as a youth just because he came from a wealthy background. Even now, the older man still had countless mistresses waiting for him outside.However, Morrow didn’t dare to say such things in front of his father, so he could only hang his head low and endure Yannis’ lecture.After lecturing Morrow for a short while, Yannis started to calm down. Only then did he begin to think about the next course of action.He tried to make his tone more relaxed, saying, “For now, it seems that Javier has the higher ground, but there’s no reason why we should be worried. I’ve
