Despair hung in the air in the room.
A call came on his phone, interrupting his grief.
It was Quintin.
Upon answering, Quintin immediately adopted a fawning tone.
Mr. Simmons, Ive given your offer a lot of thought. Im willing to end the engagement with Noelle, but I might need to delay it by two days.

Ill come up with a suitable excuse which Ill inform Mr. Shaw. Can you help me manage the negative news on the internet first?
Cyrus expression darkened, and he retorted, You havent taken any action yet. And you want my help with the Hudson familys problems.

Quintin began to explain.
Ignoring his explanation, Cyrus issued an ultimatum, I expect to hear news of the Hudson and Shaw families ending the engagement by noon.

Cyrus threat had a profound effect.
Quintin realized he was blocked and understood the depth of Cyrus anger.
In a desperate rush, Quintin called Mekhi and made his way to the Shaws house within thirty minutes.
Even if he had to remain unmarried, Quintin knew he could always find women to have sx with at the club.
However, the survival of the Hudson Group was non-negotiable.
It held the most important place in his life, as important as even his descendants!
