Too Late to Hold Me Back novel Chapter 1149

Eleanor rested for a moment before continuing. "Today, I only confirmed Miles's position as chairman of the board, but I didn't hand over the shares.

I'm just letting him use the Quinn Group for practice.

I've given him a three-month probation period. I don't expect him to break new ground, as long as he can maintain the company's baseline.

As long as he isn't swayed by his mother, stops funneling money to Lawrence's people, and stays tough, I'll officially leave the group to him. I won't take it back.

Otherwise, I still reserve the right to reclaim it."

Eleanor knew Mira wouldn't interfere with their company. The main reason was that Mira simply didn't want to deal with that family.

Eleanor had given her fifteen percent of the shares, and Mira had accepted them. After all, whether a daughter or a granddaughter, she had the right to inherit.

But Mira couldn't accept the majority of the Quinn Group's shares. She would rather let that family ruin it completely than take it.

First, Mira already had a massive empire and didn't need those assets.

Second, if she took it, outsiders would think she had swallowed the Quinn Group whole, leaving nothing for the family. Coupled with the family's inevitable tantrums, it would only bring her endless trouble.

Although Eleanor spoke harshly, they were still her biological son and grandson. She could sanction them, but she didn't have the heart to leave them starving.

Therefore, if Mira took over, she would essentially be working for them. It could lead to a lifetime of messy entanglements.

However, Eleanor could entrust the company to someone else. She could hire a professional manager, draft a solid will, and have someone reliable oversee it. All she had to do was ensure the Quinn family got their annual dividends.

Of course, that was a matter for the future. It all depended on whether Miles could stand on his own two feet.

Eleanor looked at Mira and Owen. "Remember this. Kindness doesn't command an army, and righteousness doesn't run a business. The corporate world is a battlefield; you have to be ruthless and decisive.

If Miles can't pass this test, I will reclaim the group and hand it over to someone reliable."

"I'll keep that in mind, Grandma," Mira replied.

"Of course, I trust you and Owen. It's just a shame that none of my three children can hold the fort."

"Don't worry, Grandma. I can hold the fort on my own. I'm your granddaughter, I take after you."

Eleanor finally broke into a radiant smile. "That's right. As long as I have one capable girl like you, it's enough."

She made a mental note to privately remind Miles to be sharper and to consult Mira more often.
