The Long Road to Love: The Capable CEO Dad-Chapter 535: My Cousin Is the President of Apex Group

Chapter 535: Chapter 535: My Cousin Is the President of Apex Group

She pulled her hand back, suppressing the urge to mock the other person after holding it in for a long time.

But Nolan Nash wasn’t someone who could read the room. Seeing her blushing, he assumed his words had made her heart flutter and quickly stepped forward again.

"Miss, what’s your name? I can drive you home, my car is outside."

Eleanor Hollis had no doubt that this man was a womanizer.

She quickened her pace, but when she heard Nolan Nash’s next words, she froze in her tracks.

"My cousin is the wife of Apex Group’s CEO. In the future, I’ll own shares in Apex Group. Beautiful lady, do you really not want to come home with me?"

Nolan Nash’s face was full of pride.

Jean Nash’s cousin?

A flash of realization crossed Eleanor Hollis’s eyes. So, they wanted Apex Group’s shares. How whimsical.

A hint of a mocking smile played on her lips. She thought Jean Nash was really into Hugo Quinn; who knew she had such ulterior motives.

Nolan Nash saw her pause and thought she was swayed.

But soon, Eleanor Hollis crossed her arms. "Do you know who I am? If not, you can ask your cousin who Eleanor Hollis is."

Nolan Nash’s face promptly changed. Of course, he knew who Eleanor Hollis was, he just hadn’t expected her to look so young, like a girl of around twenty. He smiled awkwardly and left, blushing over his earlier words.

Seeing that she finally shrugged off this nuisance, Eleanor Hollis’s lips curved into a smile. She was about to step forward when her path was blocked by a heavily made-up woman.

"Are you the new flame of Young Master Nash? You don’t look like much."

The woman’s gaze swept over her from head to toe and she rolled her eyes.

This woman had been following Nolan Nash earlier. Just this morning, Nolan Nash had bought her things worth hundreds of thousands. A generous patron like that couldn’t be taken away by someone else.

Eleanor Hollis felt that today was just not her day; had she known she would encounter all this, she would have stayed home to rest.

"Sorry, I don’t know the Young Master Nash you’re talking about."

She thought saying this would make the woman leave her alone, but apparently, that was not the woman’s plan.

"Stop babbling! I just saw you talking to Young Master Nash. Let me tell you, Young Master Nash is mine. If you dare to fight me for him, I’ll have my girls take you down!"

The woman’s face was full of malice. After dropping her threat, she walked away.

Eleanor Hollis stood there, feeling a bit bewildered, but she still went into the mall to buy the things she wanted.

In the following days, everyone stayed put. Jean Nash was waiting for Shawn Yates’s news, while the old Nash patriarch was waiting for Jean Nash’s compromise. As for Hugo Quinn, he was fully in control.

Seeing Jean Nash getting thinner by the day, he knew she was worried about Shawn Yates. A smile played on his lips, indicating his plan was soon to succeed.

Jean Nash, meanwhile, was observing Hugo Quinn. His face showed no expression, seemingly uninterested in everything that had happened recently.

Thinking of the patriarch’s demand for Apex’s shares, she didn’t know how to broach it. But if she procrastinated any longer, Shawn Yates might be in danger.

"Hugo Quinn, how much is Marcus worth in your heart in terms of Apex shares?"

She finally couldn’t hold it in and spoke up, not daring to look him in the eye.

Hugo Quinn was stunned for a moment. Recovering, he looked at her calmly.

"You want shares of Apex? Miss Nash, if I remember correctly, you’ve used Marcus to threaten me more than once. Shouldn’t people have integrity? If it weren’t for the Nash family’s doctor treating Marcus, do you think you’d be sitting in my villa?"

Hugo Quinn’s words were sharp, causing Jean Nash’s face to flush instantly.

She was a person with a conscience and knew it was unreasonable to say these things to Hugo Quinn, but the patriarch was pressing her hard.

"Has something happened to Shawn Yates again? Whenever it’s about Shawn Yates, you can never stay calm."

Hugo Quinn took a sip of tea, his eyes clear and unperturbed.

Jean Nash’s shoulders slumped instantly. She now admitted that she cared about Shawn Yates; after all, he once held her in his hands, how could she not have any feelings?

"The patriarch is using Shawn Yates to threaten you?"

A smile curled up at the corner of Hugo Quinn’s lips, as if he knew everything already.

Jean Nash felt difficult to speak. Being threatened by one’s own family was a shameful thing.

"Yes, Shawn Yates is my ex-husband. I can’t ignore whether he lives or dies. Now, Grandpa hopes I can get Apex shares. Once I have them, he will release Shawn. Hugo Quinn, I have no other way. It was wrong of me to keep using Marcus to threaten you, but if anything happens to Shawn, I’ll never have peace for the rest of my life."

Upstairs, Shawn Yates had already heard these words, and desperately wanted to rush down and hold Jean Nash in his arms.

But he couldn’t; this was his and Hugo Quinn’s deal.

As long as he could bring Jean Nash back, he had no regrets.

"If Shawn Yates comes back, Miss Nash, would you be willing to start over with him? I can help you rescue Shawn Yates, but Apex’s shares are not negotiable. Since the patriarch is using this to threaten you, it proves that the Nash family wants to open the Serenford market. I don’t want to hand my company over to ambitious people."

Jean Nash looked down, her face turning red from his words.

"As long as you can bring Shawn Yates back, I’ll go abroad, and your ex-wife can return."

Hugo Quinn wanted just this assurance; a grin appeared on his face as he nodded slightly.

"Alright, tonight I’ll have someone rescue Shawn Yates. The medical team under Miss Nash’s control, I’ll buy it for a billion dollars. I’ll also purchase your tickets for tonight at nine. Once Shawn comes back, you can leave. That’s our deal, what do you think?"

The Nash’s medical team was actually under Jean Nash’s management, and it was because of her that the team remained tightly united.

A hint of conflict flashed in her eyes, but she finally spoke, "They are geniuses in the medical field. I hope you’ll treat them well. I agree to your deal."

Hugo Quinn stood up, relieved that he could finally bring Eleanor back.

At seven in the evening, Hugo Quinn sent his people to find Shawn Yates. Although Shawn Yates was already with him, the act had to be put on.

Jean Nash sat uneasily in place, fearing that Shawn Yates was being mistreated.

Half an hour later, Shawn Yates appeared before her, covered in dust, the injuries visible on him not insignificant but not life-threatening either,

"Jean."

Shawn Yates embraced her excitedly, his eyes slightly reddened, "I thought I’d never see you again."

Seeing his injuries, Jean Nash assumed it was Nolan Nash’s doing, losing all longing for the Nash family in an instant.
