Too Late to Hold Me Back novel Chapter 1148

It was painfully obvious that even though Eleanor had ruthlessly seized the company from her son and handed it to her grandson...

Her heart was still bleeding for him!

By doing this, she had publicly broadcasted to the world that Sebastian, a man in his forties, was far less competent than his twenty-something son. For Sebastian, it was a humiliating, resounding slap to the face.

From now on, he would be the laughingstock of their social circles, completely stripped of his dignity.

Yet, Eleanor had no other choice. She had given him countless chances, and he had failed her every single time. She couldn't sit back and watch him obliterate the foundation of the Quinn Group.

Furthermore, this move completely demolished Gwen's safety net. The only reason Gwen had acted so tyrannically was because she had Sebastian and the immense wealth of the Quinn Group backing her up.

"Sigh. Lawrence committed an unforgivable crime that severely damaged his own family's business and dragged the Quinn Group down with him.

Does he really have any chance of making a comeback? Anyone with half a brain knows he doesn't."

More importantly, Owen would never let him crawl his way back up. The obstacle that was his grandfather had finally been removed.

The only reason those parasites had survived this long was because of Leonard's interference. Owen couldn't bear to cause his grandfather a fatal heart attack, so he had shown them temporary mercy.

Eleanor took a shaky breath, her silver hair trembling as she spoke.

"But why is Sebastian still so blind to reality? Why does he let Gwen run rampant, throwing endless funds at Lawrence?

Even if Lawrence could somehow be saved, his legal fees are a bottomless pit!"

Aethelgard Airways had filed a lawsuit demanding an astronomical sum for their economic losses. Their business had been severely compromised for a year and a half, not to mention the compensation owed to the terrified passengers.

The first time was after her husband passed away, when rival tycoons had circled like vultures to tear the Quinn Group apart.

Overnight, Eleanor had severed ties with all their competitors, liquidated all their retail shares, and forcefully pivoted the entire company into a new industry.

In its early years, the Quinn Group had focused on shopping malls and hotels. Eleanor aggressively transitioned them into real estate and construction, catapulting their profits to unprecedented heights.

The second time was when she exiled her eldest son, Ethan, from the core of the business. At the time, Sebastian was young and fresh to the company, while Ethan possessed zero management skills and was tearing the corporation apart from the inside.

Truthfully, in terms of sheer management capability, Sebastian was highly competent—leagues ahead of Ethan. But he was weak-willed and entirely submissive to Gwen, making him a slave to his wife's whims.

But that was all in the past, and there was no point dwelling on ancient history now.
