Quentin used to not care about Grace''s matters, thinking it was just petty jealousy and minor squabbles between children.
But since it involved thepany''s interests this time, he could no longer ignore it. He immediately made a phone call to Grace.
Grace had previously blocked Carmen and Liam, but she forgot to block this nominal father of hers. Seeing the shing caller ID, she was a bit surprised.
After pressing the answer button, Quentin''s voice came from the other end. "Grace, what are you doing?"
He used a reprimanding tone.
"Is anything wrong?" Grace asked.
"Of course! Why did you have to stir up trouble in Southbrook? Now, Alice''s car is surrounded by those farmers. They can''t find you, so they''re taking it out on Alice. I don''t care how you messed around before, but Alice went there representing thepany this time. Only when the Farm Support Mission seeds can thepany have a chance in tourism development.
"Do you want the whole Lambert family to pay the price for the tantrums you throw?" Quentin scolded.
Grace suddenly found it funny. She didn''t bother exining and hung up the phone directly. But she couldn''t ignore the rising pain inside her. If she hadn''t lost her memory, she would probably be on the verge of breaking down and crying by
now.
Then, she blocked Quentin as well.
Quentin tried calling again, but when he realized he couldn''t get through, he angrily threw his phone onto the coffee table.
"She''s really going too far. She even blocked me now. Does she really want topletely cut ties with our family?"
Liam, who was sitting nearby ying games, knew who Quentin was talking about and immediately chimed in, "Dad, did Grace block you too?"
With a grim expression, Quentin instructed the person next to him, "Cancel her card."
"Mr. Lambert, Ms. Lambert''s card has long been canceled."
Quentin was stunned for a moment. Grace used to spend money extravagantly. If her card had been canceled a long time ago, why hadn''t shee back yet? Had Alice been secretly helping her again?
He took a deep breath and rubbed between his brows. A trace of disgust flickered in his eyes. "Forget it, I''ll just take it as though I don''t have this daughter. We won''t take part in the tourism development in Southbrook anymore. Get Alice back. Her safety is the most important."
But just as he finished speaking, someone called andplimented him, "Quentin, your daughter is impressive! Hundreds of thousands of pounds of apples were sold this time. I think this tourism development project will definitely be yours. You''d better secure this massive fortune."
Quentin was a little surprised. Didn''t the previous person who called him tell him that it had failed? "Didn''t the Farm Support Project fail?"
"Who said it failed? Now, the farmers are petitioning to give your daughter a que. It seems that women really are just as capable as men. I heard the que is already in the making, and all the farmers in the vige have signed it. It''s very meaningful."
A que was just a token of appreciation, but a que signed by all the farmers in a vige did carry a lot of weight.
Quentin''s eyes shed with a hint of pride.
