As Iris was dragged out, she was shouting curses at the top of her lungs. The hospital staff watched the scene unfold, but no one stepped in to help.Many felt a sense of relief; finally, someone was dealing with this crazy woman."Are you out of your mind? You're absolutely insane! Let me go, or I'll call the police!" she screamed. In contrast to Iris' wild shouting, Gavin struggled fiercely, trying to break free from his captors. He was holding on to thelast shred of his sanity and found it hard to match her hysterical behavior. Confusion clouded his mind as he tried to make sense of what was happening in the hospital, especially regarding Miss Hutton bringing him here. It felt like he was starting to grasp some clues about the situation. What was the relationship between Miss Hutton and Thomas?They clearly knew each other, but it seemed like there was more to it than just a simple acquaintance. Their connection felt complicated, almost like they were from two different worlds. Wh

Miss Hutton rushed into the hospital, heading straight toward her boss's direction. Feeling a bit anxious, she glanced back at him and offered a small smile."You don't need to worry so much. I won't blame you for what just happened. It was my own impulsiveness; you did nothing wrong," Thomas reassured her. He focused on the issue at hand rather than the person, and besides, Miss Hutton was acting out of urgency as a competent secretary. Hearing this, Miss Hutton let out a sigh of relief, but the memory of her boss's furious expression still sent shivers down her spine. She knew how much he despised that couple, but he had plenty of people he disliked. Among them, those two weren't even the worst.Today, however, they had crossed a line, especially Iris, who wouldn't stop talking nonsense."I think we can change our plans now. Get back in touch with the kidnappers. I'll give you their contact information shortly. We need to come up with a new strategy," he continued. Iris swallowed ha

Kelvin was surprised at how easily he agreed. His mood was a mix of relief and lingering anxiety, as everything suddenly seemed to fall into place. He looked at Gavin and nodded. "Of course! Once you're abroad, I'll arrange for you to work at my dad's company. Don't worry, since l'm bringing you overseas, I won't let you have any worries." Hearing this, Gavin nearly jumped for joy. This solution seemed to clear up all his problems. Once he left the country, Mr. Caldwell wouldn't be able to touch him, and he didn't have to worry about his identity with Thomas. But there was one thing that still troubled him. "But can we bring family members? If we can, wouldn't that complicate things a bit more?" Gavin's sudden question put Kelvin in a tough spot. The plan was to only involve Gavin; bringing family into it would be a whole different ball game. "Well, that's a bit tricky. Do you think your family would support you going abroad? It might be better if you go first to get settled fo

The secretary was unaware of Marcus's background. Suddenly, he had become the largest shareholder, threatening the current chairman's position, and she had unexpectedly found herself in a better situation because of it. Just from this one incident, it was clear that he was someone significant. She couldn't afford to be careless aboutanything he did; her job was now in someone else's hands."Mr. Marcus, understood."As the secretary stepped out with a list and a stack of documents, she collided with a familiar face, her gaze flickering slightly. She cursed under her breath, thinking, "Great, just my luck to run into him.""What did they have you doing in there?You seem to be running around quite diligently these days. Looks like being assigned to the new boss has really worked out for you," he said, his words dripping with sarcasm. She was used to his sharp remarks by now.Ever since Mr. Marcus arrived, he had been throwing cold jabs and looking for ways to provoke her. It all stemme

Marcus nodded slightly. Adessa held back her frustration. It was clear from the start that he wasn't taking this seriously; otherwise, he wouldn't have scheduled their meeting atSuch a precarious time, leaving it open to interruptions."You see, I have other things to attend to.Let's meet again later. Don't worry, as long as you come to my side, I'll make arrangements for you," he said dismissively. Adessa felt a wave of dissatisfaction wash over her at his words, but she stood up and walked out anyway. As she passed the doorway, she glanced at the secretary, a hint of confusion in her eyes. The secretary noticed the tension from the conversation and wisely kept her mouth shut.Once outside Marcus's office, Adessa didn't leave. Instead, she turned and headed in another direction, toward Emily's office. As she walked through the company, she confirmed she was on the right track. The layout of the offices never changed, and she couldn't decide if that made the woman nostalgic or indif
