Adam paced the entrance of the storage room, waiting for Cleo to come out. She’d gone in with the assassin for two hours now, and after helping to remove the bullets from his body, she asked him to leave them alone.He’d heard muffled screams and shrieks. He could only imagine what method of torture she was using on the man.Just as he was getting tired of waiting, Cleo stepped out, looking all calm as if she didn’t just torture someone.“It wasn’t your mother-in-law that sent the assassin this time.” She announced with a grim smile.“Then, who was it?”“Dr Walker.”“What?” Adam paused.He wasn’t too shocked though. It’s just that he didn’t expect that man would go through such lengths to silence him.“Birds of a feather flock together. Anyways, what’s the next plan?” Adam asked her.He just arrived back in Colorado and hadn’t accomplished any of his plans. He can’t die now.“We send the assassin back to the sender.”“Huh?” Adam stared at her like she’d grown two heads. “Do you trust

"That's right!" Derek butted in. "Who's this man anyway? He can't possibly be your cousin. Why should Senior Walters give him any position he wants?"Roberto's murderous gaze hadn't left Adam since they stepped in. "You want to know the people I hate the most?" He asked suddenly. "Who?" Adam responded. "Those that latch onto the thigh of an influential person, to get a post that they don't have the skills for!" Roberto gritted. "Do you know what happens to such a person at the end? They lose the job, their dignity, self-esteem and get humiliated by everyone!"With that, Roberto picked up the pen and signed the document. "I might not be able to prevent you from getting this job. But know one thing, you won't last long here!"Adam took the open threat with a smile. "Bring it on, Roberto. Let's see who gets to leave this company first!"The other three people in the room were stunned.Never had they thought that the men knew each other, or that they had such deep animosity towards each

"What have you done?" Cleo cried as soon as she saw Amelia's condition."What did you say to her? Do you know the efforts it took to get her into a stable condition?" She scolded Adam as though Amelia were her own sister. "I'm sorry." Adam was shocked when his sister suddenly went berserk, yelling that she hated him.As a doctor, he could tell that her symptoms showed she was triggered.Amelia was forced to remember the past when she saw his face, and her first response was to fight it. His heart stung with the possibility that she really detested him.Amelia didn't lose control when she was with Cleo, why did she get triggered by him? "Could you please leave the sitting room?" Cleo gritted, getting frustrated when the little girl refused to calm down. With pain in his heart, Adam picked suitcase and left. As long as Amelia remained in this condition, she would refuse to see him. It was all the Hemsworth's fault!And he was going to make them pay severely for this. After a whil

Adam arrived at work early the following morning, he noted his team members that arrived early and admonished them to do better. While threatening to sack the ones that came late. "If you can't make it to the company right on time, why else are you at this job?"His words were harsh, but it was only for the good of his company. Right now, he needed as many capable hands as he could get on board. After a short meeting with them all, Adam returned to his office. He met the reports he'd asked Richard last night for on his table. It was the reports of the Sales department, Marketing and Logistics department and Product Design department under the leadership of Sean, Max and Garrett respectively. He sat down and began to audit the accounts. Adam was able to quickly grasp and interpret the bulky numbers in a short while. This was an advantage he got due to being involved in his father's company. Back when the Carson's Pharmaceuticals was still functional, Felix always made sure he visi

By the time they were done searching the internet, it was already 11pm at night. Adam left to his bedroom, to get a shower.He sat at the table as he dried his hair, glancing through the documents he went through earlier today. A knock sounded on his door and Cleo came in. "You got a letter, I forgot to hand it over to you earlier.""From who?" Adam glanced up from the pile of documents in front of him. "There was only your name, no sender's name." She dropped it on the table and left. Adam gave the black envelope one look before immersing himself back into his work. .Adam arrived at work right on time the next morning, despite having only 3 hours of sleep, he felt very energized. He was able to finish up the auditing last night, and now he had substantial evidence that no accountant could refute! After dismissing his team for the morning, Adam headed straight to Richard's office to present the report to him."You're saying a total of 1 million and hundred thousand dollars hav
