It's somewhat amusing, really. Thomas woke up with his daughter beside him. Seeing her father still there, the child felt reassured for quite a while. After comforting her for a long time, Thomas decided it was time to head home. While driving, he suddenly noticed an unfamiliar number on his phone. This call interface looked different from before. In addition to the hang-up button, there was a black arrow below it, accompanied by the words "Not Transferred." It seemed this was what the hacker had mentioned earlier: if he didn't want to take the call, it would be forwarded directly. It was an unknown number, definitely not someone from Robison's contacts.He pressed the button for the voice changer, selected Robison's voice, and immediately answered via Bluetooth."Hello, who is this?"As soon as he spoke, there was silence on the other end. After a brief hesitation, he thought maybe it was the kidnapper. Finally, the other person spoke, their voice deep and somewhat eerie. "Who are yo

When Gavin parked his car downstairs, it wasn't too late. He thought about picking up dinner for Iris, a takeout from a nearby restaurant that included four dishes and a soup. As soon as he walked in, he heard music playing loudly. He saw Iris lying out on a mat and doing her yoga routine. She didn't even glance his way when she heard him come in. Last time, Gavin had been extremely unhappy with Iris over some issues. She had told him that unless he completely restored his career and returned their lives. The way they used to be, she didn't even want to talk to him.Their interactions as a couple had becomevery brief. Aside from their three meals a day, they hardly spoke about anything else. At this moment, his return was met with silence, clearly indicating her unwillingness to engage with him."I brought you dinner. Come eat when you're ready," he said, holding the bag as he started to walk toward the inner room. "Wait a minute. How did your company do today? Did you get that contr

As Gavin stepped out of Mr. Caldwell’s office, his brow furrowed deeply. Things were looking grim; he wasn't a miracle worker, after all. How could he possibly get everything done in just two weeks? After reviewing the partnership documents, the weight on his shoulders felt even heavier. Mr. Caldwell was indeed a cunning fox. He was all about profit and had his plans laid out perfectly, yet he wouldn't allow Gavin to set any terms. The worst part was that I didn't even have the standing to negotiate.The stakes were enormous. This deal wasso significant that even if it drove the company to the brink of bankruptcy, it could still revive it with this one transaction. The difficulty of the situation was clear; no smart business would tie itself to this company for a full three years.A three-year commitment meant that at times, the client would also be restricted to the role of a subordinate. This was especially true after already signing a deal worth $2 billion. Mr. Caldwell wasn't the

The words he spoke went unnoticed by the other party, who wore a faint, cold smile. This person was quietly reviewing all the information about Gavin in his mind. Indeed, he was the one provided by his wealthy benefactor. It was unclear how the man in front of him had angered this benefactor. At first glance, he seemed like an ordinary guy, though he spoke with the shrewdness of a businessman. Upon meeting, he thought to himself that this man really knew how to handle people."Hey, how can you say that? I'm just trying to be a good host here. We don't need to talk about all that; let's just get straight to ordering," he said cheerfully. Gavin felt no doubt about the other man's generosity. In fact, he was quite pleased, thinking about how beneficial it would be to build a good relationship with someone like this big shot. Who knows, he might even become a stepping stone for his future success. Right now, he was in a tense situation with Mr. Caldwell Business, where things were on the

Hearing this, Gavin nodded heavily. The person in front of him was so easy to talk toto. Who knows if he could get close to him and earn his trust? He might climb to a higher position and leave everything back home behind. After the last incident, it was already a miracle that things could be salvaged backhome. Staying with Mr. Caldwell, as Thomas had said, made it seem nearly impossible for him to have a breakthrough.Buzz buzz…”His phone vibrated twice.Gavin glanced down and saw a notification from the company. What was going on? He opened the message, and it was from Thomas, saying that Miss Hutton had arrived and was asking where he was. Miss Hutton's arrival was completely unexpected for him. Didn't she say she would notify him in advance? He had been watching his phone, but there had been no updates. Why was she messaginghim now? Mr. Johnson had been observing him closely and noticed that his expressionchanged after reading the message. He didn't know what was going on, bu
