Chapter 42
"Marry into the Carter family?"
Matthew was caught off guard. After all, he and Rachel were still at the stage of getting to know each other.
Why was marriage suddenly mentioned?
Nonetheless, Matthew needed to keep up the act for Rachel. Even though he had many questions, he couldn't ask them yet.
Everyone present looked at Matthew. They wanted to see his reaction. After all, it was humiliating for a man to marry into a woman's family.
Nevertheless, there was nothing odd about Matthew's expression.
Everyone was surprised. How could Matthew not have any reaction about marrying into the Carter family?
Quinn had been looking forward to seeing if Matthew would react. He was a bit disappointed. It seemed that using Rachel's gender to attack her was useless.
Quinn had no choice but to use his trump card. "Even if you don't marry into another family, you're still a woman.
"The families we partner with are already dissatisfied with you. If they end the collaboration with us, a lot of our projects will be put to a halt. Can you shoulder this responsibility?" Quinn thought he had the support of the White and Lloyd families, so he was confident when he spoke.
He was certain that he would take over the position of the president.
The more Rachel spoke, the more confident she became. "Who told you that they're dissatisfied with me? It seems that we've heard different things.
"I heard that many families we partnered with are very satisfied with my performance. They want to work together on other projects, too."
Quinn sneered. He found Rachel to be arrogant. She had only been the president for a few days, yet she already didn't know her place.
Among the families that had collaborated with the Carter family, the Lloyd and White families were the most important ones.
Quinn had discussed the matter with Rowan. As for Zayden, he had been Malcolm's classmate.
So how could Rachel say something like that?
Quinn exposed Rachel's lies right away. "Nonsense. How dare you say that? When I met up with the head of the Lloyd family, he told me that he would never collaborate with you. "On the other hand, the head of the White family has been busy recently. Even though I didn't meet him, he has expressed his dissatisfaction with you." Everyone watched Quinn and Rachel get into a heated argument. Even the families the Carters had partnered with had been dragged into the argument. As they watched the argument unfold in silence, they realized that the conflict between Quinn and Rachel was irreconcilable.
Rachel looked at Quinn coldly. "Are you trying to say that I'm lying? Since our relatives, friends, and business partners are here, let me say something. "If they don't support my work, I will resign from the position of president. Then, you can be the president instead.
"But what if they support my work?"
Quinn hadn't expected Rachel to express her position herself. He didn't even need to put in a lot of effort.
Without hesitation, he said, "If they support your work, I will never fight for the position of president.
"But that's impossible. After all, they support me. You should resign. Then, I'll become the president of Wealthwave Group."
Rachel stared at Quinn with a coldNôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

will walk off the stage and resign as president!"
Quinn had a sarcastic expression on his face. "Since you're unwilling to give up, I will let Mr. Lloyd say it in person. Then, you will give up!"
After saying that, he walked over to
Rowan. With a smile, he said, "Mr Lloyd, I'm sure you heard our conversation just now. Tell her who you support. Let her give up the idea
of being the president."
Rowan got up and looked at everyone. He shouted, "I'm Rowan Lloyd, the head of the Lloyd family. Since you asked me who I support, I will give you a clear answer. I support Rachel." Upon hearing that, Quinn was stunned. Hadn't Rowan said that he supported Quinn the day before yesterday?
Why had Rowan suddenly changed his mind?
"Mr. Lloyd, did you misspeak? Have you thought it through? Are you sure you support Rachel?"
Rowan raised his voice again. "I have thought it through. I'm very calm. I won't collaborate with you. I will collaborate with whoever can bring in profit.
"You and your father are useless. If Wealthwave Group falls into your hands, it will go bankrupt!"
Quinn's face turned pale.
Not only had Rowan refused to support him, but he had also switched sides and called him useless. Quinn wanted to fight back, but the Lloyd family was powerful; he couldn't afford to offend them.
Even Malcolm, who had been silent, had been insulted. His expression darkened, but he didn't speak up.
On the other hand, a smile appeared on Rachel's beautiful face. "Now that Mr. Lloyd has expressed his opinion, what else do you have to say?"
Quinn still didn't want to give up.
"The projects on which the Lloyd family collaborated with us only take
up one-third of the total projects.
The White family has more projects
with us.

"However, the head of the White family is in a meeting. He doesn't have the time to come here and express his opinion. Without Mr. White's opinion, this bet doesn't count." Just then, someone stood up from a seat in the corner. "Quinn, I don't have a meeting. I just didn't want to see you."
