The Amazing Strike Back: Mommy Wants To Revenge! Chapter 176: I’m Not Even in the Running to Compete
Miles Willow rarely saw Quinn Locke co looking for him, and this ti he even brought soone along.
Miles glanced at Mary and asked Quinn Locke, "Quinn, is this your girlfriend? Why did you bring her to the company?"
Upon hearing this, Mary hadn’t had ti to deny it when Quinn quickly waved his hand, "No, she’s, she’s my friend. ...I, I didn’t dare go ho, so I had to co to the company to find you."
"What are you afraid of? Afraid Aunt Chambers will swallow you up? Or afraid your younger brother and sister will swallow you up?"
"No, no!"
"Speak properly!" Hearing him stamr, Miles frowned in displeasure.
Quinn’s personality was just too timid, even in front of his own father, he couldn’t stand up straight.
And as for Henry Willow, even at his age, he still wasn’t settled, hanging around won all day, never ho.
None of his sons were worry-free.
"Why did you specially seek out today? Need money?" Miles asked.
No wonder he’s a dad, he saw it right at a glance.
Hearing this, Quinn fiddled with his fingers bashfully and then said, "I ca today to ask for your help with sothing."
"How much do you need? I’ll have the secretary transfer it to you."
"No, I don’t want your money! I’m currently working on a movie, but there’s been an issue with the investors I negotiated with. I hope... you can make a call in your na, then they’ll definitely have ti to see ."
Since he was young, Quinn never asked Miles Willow for money, including those years when he graduated unemployed and stayed ho writing novels.
That’s also why he appeared so down and out!
"I’ve long said, find a decent job, or I’ll fund you to study abroad. You’ve graduated for years, why are you still chasing your unrealistic movie dream?"
"I’m not unrealistic, I just want to do what I love. I don’t want your money, I only hope you can make a call for ." Quinn refuted softly.
Upon hearing this, Miles sneered, shaking his head in disappointnt.
The aura of ’successful career’ hung around the middle-aged man, with an understated charm in every move.
Mary looked at President Willow, then at Quinn sitting beside her, still unable to believe they were father and son!
Even though the truth was right there, the difference was just too vast... Quinn seed not to have inherited a single excellent gene.
"You don’t want my money, but still depend on my face. So if they invest in you on my account and it fails, this ss, are you going to let clean it up?"
"It won’t fail!" Quinn thumped his chest confidently, "My movie will be great."
It’s said his chest is hollow, this kind of promise is not convincing.
But given their father-son relationship, Quinn rarely ca to him for help since childhood.
Considering this, Miles couldn’t refuse.
So, in the end, President Willow asked his secretary to make two calls for him.
After putting down the phone, Miles turned and said to Quinn, "I’ve arranged everything with them, no need to et, the investors will directly wire you the money."
"Really? That’s great."
"However, I can’t just give away this favor. You must promise , if this film tanks, you won’t ss around anymore, later you’ll be steady. I’ll send you abroad for further studies, consider it an explanation for your mom."
Upon hearing this, the joy on Quinn’s face instantly cooled as if doused with a bucket of water, "Okay... then I’ll be off now."
"Wait!" Miles called to Quinn who was about to leave with Mary, "You called dad when you needed help, now that everything is done, you won’t even call dad?"
"Dad!"
"If you still see as dad, co ho for a al at the end of the month."
"N-no need, I might be too busy filming then." Quinn wanted to brush it off,
But Miles insisted, "It’s just a al, won’t take long, I’ll have the driver pick you up."
Indeed, nothing cos for free in this world, once you ask for help, you’ve essentially sold yourself.
Fortunately, once Quinn and Mary got on the elevator, he received a transfer ssage from the investors.
Forty million credited, to sell himself at this price, was worth it!
He hadn’t let down Anna and everyone in the crew!
"Director Lucas, what’s really the deal between you and President Willow?" Mary couldn’t hold back any longer and quickly asked while it was only the two of them, "Is that your dad? But isn’t he Henry Willow’s dad? Are you and Henry brothers? Then why is your last na Locke?"
Mary alone, managed to ask the effect of a press conference, she truly had too many questions.
Fortunately, Quinn patiently answered her one by one, "President Willow is indeed my father. To be precise, I have the sa father but different mothers with that Young Master Willow who ca looking for Anna in the crew the other ti. As for the last na, I took my mom’s!"
"I only heard that Henry Willow’s mother was President Willow’s ex-wife. She later died in a car accident, and President Willow married his current wife."
Mary, being a bit of a gossip, recalled that President Willow’s current wife wasn’t surnad Locke after flipping through her ntal notes.
So, Quinn’s mother...
Seeing the awkward look on Quinn’s face, Mary imdiately understood.
Quinn’s mother had no title, he was an illegitimate child.
It’s said that Mrs. Willow was once a mistress who turned legitimate after the first wife passed away.
Mary had heard abroad about the chaotic lives of Aethelgard high society, seems it was true.
President Willow’s amorousness was also true!
"No wonder you were acting strange when Henry ca to the crew last ti, you were hiding from him!"
"Miss Mary, my mom isn’t like what you think, she never destroyed another’s family. She didn’t know my dad was married when they first t. When she found out, she imdiately cut off contact and even made take her surna. Throughout the years, no matter the hardships we endured, we never bothered him. Actually... this is my first ti proactively asking him for help."
"But no matter how you say it, my existence is indeed hurtful to so. That’s why I tried to avoid him at the crew last ti."
"You’re quite considerate!" Mary joked, patting Quinn’s shoulder, "Being an illegitimate child of a wealthy family, have you never thought of claiming your heritage and inheriting billions?"
Quinn shook his head sincerely, "No, those things weren’t mine to begin with. Plus..."
"Plus what?"
"My dad has many illegitimate kids, even if there’s a fight, it’s not my turn."
Mary: "!!!"
Another big scoop!
Indeed, Aethelgard noble sches are beyond unusual!
