Chapter 341 A Hint Of Warning At that moment, the atmosphere at the home of Eric Quirk, Davidâs third bro
was somewhat tense.
Eric personally went to the airport to welcome David and his family. Given the importance Eric placed on Alexander, he initially wanted to bring his wife, Joanna, along. However, the latter felt unwell then, so she didnât join him.
Eric went with his son and daughter instead.
Right then, his son, Dylan Quirk, wore a sour expression. âI still think todayâs reception was overly grand. If it werenât for the circumstances not allowing it, were you all planning to turn up in full force?
When Uncle David and his family returned previously, this never happened. Is it just because Alexander is among them this time? Even if heâs now in charge of Quirk Group, you and Uncle Felix are his elders. Was there a need to personally make a trip to the airport? I donât think he cared much anyway.â
Eric was a relatively stern father. Upon hearing that, he immediately retorted frostily, âHave you forgotten what I taught you usually? You showed no consideration at all in your words. As elders, we bear some responsibility for Alexanderâs current temperament. If it hadnât been necessary for David and Selena to go out and shift their focus to work for the Quirk family, Alexander wouldnât have been left alone at the Quirk estate so young, developing psychological issues due to a lack of his parentsâ company. This time, he finally overcame his trauma to come back and visit your grandfather. Naturally, this should be taken seriously.â
In truth, Dylan didnât dare talk back to his father. But at that moment, he couldnât help but argue, âI find it strange that the lot of you would choose someone psychologically unstable to be the heir.
Whatâs the rush? Waiting for a few more years wonât hurt. If Uncle David wants to step down, arenât there still you and Uncle Felix?â
âShut up! Heâs your cousin. What are you thinking?â Ericâs words already carried a hint of warning.
Suppressing the urge to argue for a moment, Dylan relented, âWell, I was just curious⦠Everyone out there says so.â
Eric snorted coldly, saying, âThe people here in Yrinas usually donât deal with Alexander firsthand, so they naturally wouldnât know. Do you think it was David who wanted to retire? It was because he knew he wasnât Alexanderâs match in capability. There was nothing he could do to stay there, so he retired. Youâve just started working at Quirk Group and have yet the authority to interact with him.
Once youâve worked with him a few times, youâll understand.â
Seeing the proud expression on Ericâs face, Dylan couldnât help but clench his fists. It was because of Alexander that this usually reticent father of mine engaged in such lengthy idle chatter with me.
However, he simply couldnât accept it, finding that there was nothing so great about Alexander. He didnât think that his father was inferior to David, so naturally, he didnât believe that he was inferior to Alexander either. The only difference was that Alexander was born a few years earlier.
âDo you not remember how much you admired him when you were young?â Eric couldnât help but ask, fearing that his son might be overly prideful and arrogant.
With a dry laugh, Dylan said, âNo, I donât.â
After some thought, Eric found that it made sense. Well itâs to be expected. Since Dylan started to retain memories, Alexander became taciturn.

ni Caitlinâs daughter, grown incredibly âAnyway, learn more from him in the future and work closely with him. Just do whatever he directs you to do. I guarantee that youâll achieve more than our generation ever did. Sarah, y does that.
Felixâs two children joined the company a year before you did, and fast. It was all thanks to Alexanderâs guidance. He may not be someone who shows his emotions openly, but heâs beyond reproach in treating family Dylan felt that he might burst a blood vessel speaking to his father about that matter.
Other families have fierce internal strife. Why is the Quirk family filled with simpletons, easily manipulated by a few smart ones? But thereâs one area where Alexander doesnât seem so smart.
He was somehow tricked into marrying an utterly useless woman. Not only is her family in complete disarray and had no background to speak of, but she is not highly educated herself. Rumor has it that she even became a comedian. In this, he lost to me forever.
He didnât want to continue speaking of that topic, so he changed the subject and asked, âBy the way, will you be announcing the matter of about you and Mom adopting a goddaughter openly in front of the whole family this time? Weâre supposed to bring Ceci along this time, but you insisted that it wasnât appropriate.
Dylan complained incessantly, failing to notice that his sister, Janice Quirk, who had been huddled in the corner without saying a word, flinched upon hearing that.
Ericâs brows furrowed slightly. âIâm still thinking about it. Iâll discuss it with your grandfather first. If he doesnât agree, weâll drop this matter.â
Immediately, Dylan retorted furiously, âShe saved Momâs life!â
