Reading Juicy Gossip in Her Mind Chapter 340 Bennett Eaton
Those who went to the airport were cousins his age. His eldest cousin, Sarah Quirk, came with her husband and child, as well as her bachelor of a brother.
âSarah, Alexanderâs condition seems to be pretty good this time. Do you think we can find an opportunity to discuss the matter of investment with him?â Bennett Eaton, Sarahâs husband, ventured while driving.
Sarah frowned and said, âDidnât we already do so last time? He felt that it wasnât suitable.â
âYou two only communicated remotely previously. Now that youâve met in person, maybe some drinks and a warm welcome might do the trick. Itâs truly a great project. Perhaps Alexander just doesnât understand it well enough yet,â Bennett couldnât help arguing.
âItâs already rare that Alexander could come and attend Grandfatherâs birthday party this time. Letâs not put him in a difficult position,â Sarah chided impatiently.
Bennett couldnât help but grow slightly anxious. âHow can it be considered putting him in a difficult position? You canât be so unbothered just because itâs not a subsidiary of Quirk Group. At the end of the day, itâs an investment company we both worked hard to establish.â
âWhat did you mean by that?â Sarah immediately demanded in displeasure. âIf Iâm so unbothered, I wouldnât have sought advice from Alexander back then. Grandfather said that in the Quirk family, no one surpasses Alexander in business acumen. He is a genius!
Bennettâs expression stiffened a touch. He couldnât help but grouse, âYour brother is a genius too.â
Sitting at the back, playing a musical game with his niece, Carlos looked up, a faint smile gracing his lips.. âI canât compare with Alexander. I may have some talent in music, but heâs genuinely intelligent. I still remember that he was already solving my math problems meant for an eightâyearâ
old when he was just four.â
Sarah was tickled pink. âThe nerve of you to mention that. You couldnât finish your homework because you were too busy practicing the piano, so you asked Alexander, who was four years your junior, to help you with it. Youâre the only one whoâd do such a thing.â
âWere you that stupid, Uncle Carlos? You fell short of a fourâyearâold child?â Sarahâs daughter, Nina, asked that lethal question.
Carlos tapped Ninaâs nose lightly and said with a chuckle, âYouâre seemingly a year older than the new kid, but I heard heâs pretty smart. So, if you have any difficulty in doing your homework, donât come to me. Go to him instead and let him crush you with his intellect,â
âGet lost. Donât lead my daughter astray,â Sarah immediately interjected with a laugh.
âExactly. Iâm not stupid. I want to compete with him. But even if he turns out to be smarter, itâs fine. I can always ask him to teach me what I donât know. As long as Iâve understood, I wonât be considered as having lost to him!â Nina declared proudly.
âAwesome!â Carlos immediately chuckled and pinched her cheek.
Just when the atmosphere in the car seemed to be improving, Bennett brought up business again.
âCarlos, do you also think we shouldnât ask Alexander for help? We simply want to accomplish something personally. Being part of the Quirk familyâs company means always being under Alexanderâs control.
Well itâs not bad hun ir alers Jacks challenge. We want to da comething of our em B Kiss Chapter 340 Bennett Eaton
As Carlos noticed the palpable disappointment of Nina beside him, his gaze fell on the back of Bennettâs head, a slight frown creasing his brows.
Sarah was about to interject in displeasure when Carlos replied, âBennett, you know I donât involve myself in Quirk Groupâs affairs. Nor do I understand them. But I trust Alexanderâs judgment. If he says something isnât feasible, it can never succeed in the end. At the very least, under his leadership, not a single new project in the vast Quirk Group has ever gone wrong. Is it that hard to accept someone elseâs negative opinion?â
With a single sentence that sounded gentle, he imperceptibly rebutted Bennett.
He then asked, âDonât you have your own judgment, Sarah?â
Taken aback, Sarah recalled her initial assessment of the matter and immediately said, âYouâre right. Hubby, I had doubts about your project proposal from the very beginning. But you wouldnât believe me and insisted that I consult Alexander. Alexander also said the same. Why wouldnât you just take us for our word?â
At that, Bennettâs expression darkened even further.
Glancing at the man through the rearview mirror, Carlos found it amusing inwardly. This brotherâinâ
law of mine truly doesnât know his place. When it comes to business acumen, he canât even hold a candle to Sarah, let alone Alexander. Why is he so persistent? Anyone in the industry whose idea was rejected by the two members of the Quirk family would have the sense to switch to a different project. Itâs not like weâre forbidding him from pursuing other ventures.
âOkay, fine. I wonât lecture you anymore.â As Bennettâs temper flared, Sarah immediately ceased talking, giving her husband a bit of respect.
