Chapter 346: Support
Quinn could not help but sigh. This Adam MacQuoid was really a shrewd man. He had said everything that could be said. It seemed that whatever Quinn said now could be used against him.
If Quinn said that he cared, it would make him seem petty. But if he said that he did not care, he could not swallow the humiliation. Just when Quinn was pondering on how to respond, a man walked in from the front door.
"My brother may not care, but I do. I'm notoriously stingy."
Lauren, Quinn, and the rest turned and looked at the door simultaneously.
Franklin was back!
He must have just arrived, as he was still in his business suit. His face was clearly tired, but his eyes were sharp. With one hand in his trouser pocket, he stood tall and straight.
The reporters were all stunned.
What kind of dumb luck did they have today to see so many powerful people?
The reporters turned their cameras to Franklin. He did not stop them, which meant that he had given them permission, so they started to take pictures freely.
At this time, it was very lively in the live broadcast room.
"Oh my god, what kind of virtue do I have in this life? I actually saw so many important people gathered on the same channel on the same day! The two brothers, Quinn and Franklin, appeared in the same frame! This combination is too eye-catching."
"Exactly. The chairman of the Torres Group rarely gives interviews. We actually met him on the broadcast today. I'm so excited."
Although the comments on the screen were in a cheerful mood, the atmosphere at the scene was very awkward. When Adam and the rest raised their heads and saw Franklin, they suddenly had a guilty feeling as if he was a child who had barged into someone else's house.
Quinn's eyes lit up when he saw Franklin.
Although Franklin did not support him at the party, he came just in time.
"Why are you back? Come and sit down!"
Lauren bit her lip. Although she was very happy to see Franklin, she remembered that she was still in a cold war with him, so she did not open her mouth to call him.
Franklin walked over and sat down on the sofa.
Quinn asked Franklin, "Why did you come back all of a sudden?"
The current Quinn was not as serious as just now. He was now like a child who had found someone to rely on.
Franklin faintly glanced at the scene and said, "If I don't come back, I'm afraid someone will bully our family."
It went without saying who this 'someone' was. Adam quietly lowered his head, trying to hide his existence.
However, he thought about it again. He was Adam. He had worked hard in the entertainment industry for so many years. What was there to be afraid of?
Therefore, he mentally prepared himself and raised his head.
"You must be Quinn's brother, the chairman of the Torres Group, Franklin, right? Hello, I'm Adam, and I am an actor. I won the 'best actor' title last year. You should have seen me in a TV series, right?"
Adam did not dare to make a fuss in front of Franklin. After all, Franklin was a vicious businessman that even his boss was afraid of.
Just a casual word from him could probably cause their agency to go bankrupt. With just a flick of his finger, he could change the entire business scene in the country.
So, even though Franklin was almost 20 years younger than him, Adam did not dare to stir trouble. He could only greet him formally. After all, he was indeed stepping on someone else's territory.
Moreover, he thought that Franklin, as a chairman, would not care about such trivial matters. After all, the contracts that he handled every day were worth tens of millions.
Furthermore, he was facing the camera right now. Franklin definitely had to take care of his image.
But he was wrong. Franklin was a family-oriented person. If someone bullied his family members, he would definitely bully them back.
Franklin looked at Adam as if he was trying to recognize his face. Then, he shook his head.
"I'm sorry, I don't usually have time to watch TV series and movies, so I don't know you."
"Oh… I see." Adam's eyes fluttered to the side, feeling a little awkward. "You are a busy person, it's normal that you do not have time to watch these things."
"Although I don't know you as an actor, I will remember you as a person who trespassed on private property."
Hearing this, Adam's eyes widened, and he quickly waved his hand.
"Mr. Torres, we didn't trespass on private property. Quinn opened the door for us."
"Quinn opened the door for you, but how did you find us? We're the only household within a few miles of this place. Your motive is very obvious. You're clearly targeting Quinn."
"Don't you know how terrifying it is to expose an artiste's private address? And you brought so many reporters with you. There are at least ten cameras in total.. You're shooting without the consent of others. Do you know the consequences?"
