Between Ruin And Resolve My Ex-Husband's Regret novel Chapter 414

Chapter 414 An Exorbitant

Demand

“You disgusting creep, let go of me!” Kyla shouted as she struggled.

Vivi’s eyes widened in shock as she instantly grasped what was happening.

Fueled by rage, she stormed upstairs. When she saw Kyla, her anger erupted, and she slapped her forcefully.

“You shameless woman, how dare you seduce my father?” Vivi accused, grabbing Kyla by the neck with a firm grip.

Stunned by the slap, Kyla momentarily lost her bearings. Regaining her senses, she shoved Vivi away, screaming in protest, “That’s absurd! Why would I seduce him? He’s the one who should be ashamed!”

“Enough! Both of you, shut up!” Moses interjected, his voice booming as his temples throbbed visibly.

He shifted his piercing gaze from Vivi to Tiana, who stood nearby. “What’s going on with her?” he demanded sternly.

Vivi faltered, her eyes flickering as she stammered, “She…she just came to talk to me about something.”

But Moses, having raised Vivi, saw through the excuse. His suspicion deepened the more she tried to deflect.

“Mr. Quinn.” A deep voice suddenly cut through the tension.

Anson, buttoning his shirt, descended the stairs with casual indifference.

“Vivi hurt Amy and pinned the blame on Sadie,” he stated calmly, as if discussing a trivial matter.

Vivi’s face drained of color at his words.

She stared at Anson in horror, her voice quivering.

“How do you know?”

Anson didn’t respond directly, merely offering a nonchalant glance her way.

Tiana moved to Anson’s side, her head lowered, avoiding eye contact with Vivi.

Struck by the revelation, Vivi felt as if lightning had hit her.

Tiana wasn’t there for help- she was working for Anson! It was all a setup!

Moses, in a sudden fury, backhanded Vivi, sending her sprawling on the floor.

“Didn’t I tell you to talk to Amy and secure the deal with Zoe? How could you hurt Amy?” he roared, his eyes bloodshot

with anger.

Vivi clutched her face, tears streaming down her cheeks.

“Amy was biased. She never intended to help me. She deserved it!”

At this point, further excuses were pointless.

Moses suppressed his anger and turned to Anson, mustering a sycophantic smile.

“Anson, Vivi was just not thinking clearly. Please, be magnanimous and don’t hold it against her. We need your support and

the marriage alliance!”

Anson regarded Vivi with a faint smile.

“My grandfather is concerned about Vivi’s reputation, but I am indifferent. However, the Quinn family is now at odds with the Wall family. You should be aware of Noah’s capabilities. He will find out what Vivi did.”

Anson paused, seeming to consider the Quinn family’s situation.

“If the Quinn family wants a chance of survival, there’s only one way–to ally with my family against the Wall family.”

Moses furrowed his brows.

Anson was correct. Moses had seen Noah’s cruelty firsthand.

But Anson was just the heir, not the head of the Olson family. Could he really make such decisions?

Moreover, even the Howe and Perry families, when allied, hadn’t managed any advantage over Noah.

The Perry family had even relocated abroad entirely.

What chance did the Quinn family have?

“Mr. Quinn, you’re being short–sighted,” Anson said, looking at Moses with disdain. “The Howe and Perry families failed because Alex betrayed his family. But if our two families work closely together, we can succeed. Mr. Quinn, don’t you want to achieve something great?”

Moses stared at Anson, his gaze flickering with uncertainty.

If they could genuinely challenge the Wall family, the Quinn family wouldn’t have to be subordinate to anyone.

“Anson, are you serious? If our families unite, can we truly succeed?” Moses asked, his voice tense.

He swallowed hard, his throat tight.

Anson looked confident. “Of course, Mr. Quinn. You’re a smart man. This is the best opportunity for the Quinn family. The decision to seize it is yours.”

Moses’s breathing quickened, but his years in business allowed him to maintain a semblance of rationality.

Striving to appear calm, he inquired, “Anson, you speak of cooperation, but what specific form should this take? You know dealing with Noah is no small challenge.”

Anson had prepared for this question and responded smoothly, “Rest assured, Mr. Quinn. True cooperation requires both parties to demonstrate sincerity and unity. Right now, Noah could crush you at any moment. We are also taking a significant risk. Thus, the Quinn Group needs to transfer sixty percent of its shares to the Olson Group.”

Moses gasped.

Sixty percent! That demand was exorbitant!

“Anson, isn’t that a bit excessive?” Moses asked.

“Dad, agree to it,” Vivi suddenly interjected, having been silent until now.

Her mind was overwhelmed with the fear of Noah’s retribution, and the possibility of imprisonment left her shaking.

She rushed to Moses, grabbing his arm with urgency.

“Dad, please, we have to agree. We have no other choice!”
