Too Late to Hold Me Back novel Chapter 1211

Even after Sebastian and Miles had struggled for half a year to keep the Quinn Group afloat, the company remained on the brink of collapse, facing inevitable bankruptcy without a miracle.

It was easy to grow accustomed to luxury, but nearly impossible to give it up; both men had been born into immense wealth, living out their childhoods, highly envied youth, and arrogant adulthoods basking in the glory of the family empire.

Sebastian, in particular, had spent his entire middle age acting as the high-and-mighty CEO of the Quinn Group.

How could they willingly accept bankruptcy, being reduced to nothing, and living the lives of ordinary people?

No, once bankrupt, they would be worse off than ordinary citizens, forever labeled as the reckless heirs who destroyed a legacy.

The enemies they had made and the rivals who had envied them naturally didn't dare make a move while they were in their prime.

But the moment they fell from grace, those very people would scramble over each other to kick them while they were down.

At the same time, Eleanor's health was deteriorating by the day, and even though she had stepped back from the family's affairs, the news of the Quinn Group's bankruptcy would likely send her straight to her grave.

Owen asked Mira, "Aren't you going to help Miles?"

"I will, but not yet."

With Mira's current influence and wealth, reviving the Quinn Group would be a walk in the park, but she refused to step in so easily.

She needed them to taste the bitter reality of failure first.

Sebastian had saved her life when she was just a newborn, and no matter the bad blood, she still owed him an astronomical debt of gratitude.

However, she had to wait until they hit rock bottom before lending a hand, otherwise, they would never appreciate the second chance.

His eyes sparkled with renewed hope.

Sebastian's expression, however, remained complicated; in a way, the Quinn family's downfall was inextricably linked to his niece.

If Mira had never come to Aethelgard, his mother wouldn't have constantly praised her, which in turn wouldn't have driven Gwen and Seraphina mad with jealousy, ultimately pushing Seraphina to get engaged to Lawrence.

If things had been different, Gwen might have continued her career as a professor, and Seraphina would have peacefully finished college, married a suitable man, and lived a stable life.

Although Eleanor had never cared for Gwen, she had seemingly accepted her over the years, and despite occasional bickering, there had been no major conflicts between the mother and daughter-in-law.

That was, until Mira arrived in Aethelgard...
