Quintessa''s words sent shockwaves through the Lott family, all eyes turning to Tyrone in disbelief.


    Could her boss be Tyrone?


    As realization dawned that Quintessa''s boss was none other than Tyrone, the phrase "easy to talk to"


    suddenly took on a whole new, terrifying meaning!


    A chorus of bitterugh filled their hearts, marking it as the coldest joke heard that evening.


    Tyrone, with his hand on Quintessa''s waist, gave her a gentle squeeze and said, "Quintessa is my


    talent at York Financial Group. Mr. Lott, whether you''re looking forpensation or an apology, let''s


    not make this hard on my people. Speak directly to me, let me hear it. Whatever your demands, feel


    free to voice them."


    Of course, he wouldn''t agree to any of them.


    Though Tyrone spoke those words, the threat behind them was unmistakable to anyone listening.


    Nathan felt utterly humiliated by Tyrone in front of so many people, making him seethe with rage


    internally.


    Yet, he knew all too well that losing his temper now would only lead Tyrone to use his influence to inflict


    heavy losses on the Lott familyter.


    Swallowing his pride was a necessity. Nathan immediately adopted a contrite demeanor, lowering his


    status and offering a half-bow to Quintessa: "I''m sorry, truly, it was all a misunderstanding. On behalf of


    myself and the Lott family, I extend my apologies to Ms. Young. I hope you won''t hold this against an


    old fool like me."


    Though Nathan''s words carried a hint of ying the age card, his apology sounded genuinely sincere,


    and his attitude was remarkably humble.


    Quintessa hadn''t expected Nathan to apologize and back down so readily. In that moment, her view of


    him shifted.


    It seemed Nathan had no choice but


    to yield under Tyrone''s aggressive stance, resulting in a loss of face for the Lott family. Yet, Nathan''s


    decision to prioritize


    38


    self-preservation-even at the cost


    of his, which could make him subject to ridicule-was not something everyone could manage. Nathan


    was far moreplex than he seemed.

    Tyrone snorted inwardly, cursing Nathan for being willing to shed his dignity.


    This forced him to significantly dial back his approach, forcing him to hold back his prepared tactics.


    With Nathan already lowering himself so much, any further action on his part would only make the York


    family appear to be bullies.


    Tyrone wasn''t about to make such a mistake. With a thin smile, he decided to let it go for now, but


    inwardly vowed to make the Lott family''s business suffer greatly the next day.


    Tyrone''s smile shifted subtly as he retorted sarcastically, "How can Mr. Lott be considered old when the


    young master is only five? You''re clearly still in your prime. My congrattions, Mr. Lott, for having


    a sessor to carry on met


    legacy."


    The mention of a "sessor" turned Jerome and Fiona''s faces dark with anger, while snickers spread


    through the crowd.


    Quintessa nced at Jerome, "I


    always thought the Lott family had


    just one son. Little did I know there was another young one hidden.


    1.n


    away it''s not easy having children at an advanced age, is it? Why not bring him out for us all to see?"


    Their tag-team mockery left Nathan flushed with awkwardness and humiliation, and through gritted


    teeth, he said, "Mr. York jokes. Today''s incident was our fault. We will surely visit to offer a proper


    apology another day."


    Tyrone raised an eyebrow, his tone arrogant, "No need for a formal apology visit. Just remember this,


    Mr. Lott: you''re not yet in a position to touch anyone associated with me."
