"Don't worry about whether I have the right to say this. Just see if you can make it happen. I've cleaned up your mess so many times, yet you show no gratitude and keep making things worse. Now, you can deal with it yourself." He grabbed a file from the side and was about to leave when a knock sounded at the door. Looking up, he saw his parents standing there. He quickly turned his head, glaring at that little brat."Do you have any ambition at all? Shouldn't you be solving your own problems?"He actually called his parents over. He glanced at them, feeling like he had found a lifeline, but then recalled the argument he had just had with his brother. Good things were never without their worries."What... is it wrong for me to call my mom and dad to come see this?""You little brat, if you can say that in front of Dad later, I'd like to see if you can back it up."Just as he finished speaking, the people at the door stepped inside. Hearing his words, Daniel felt a knot in his stomach.

Miss Hutton was hiding behind a pillar, her heart racing as she contemplated David’s words. A strange thought crossed her mind: what if David had been pretending to be loyal all along while secretly plotting behind the scenes?"Don't worry, I have eyes and ears at the company. If you can't be there, they'll keep me informed. If something goes wrong, I'll let you know right away," he had said."I hope you mean that. Otherwise, if I have to dig up the dirt again next time, I'll start questioning our loyalty to each other," she had replied.David had glanced at his watch, and the other person had clicked their tongue in disbelief."You're just too paranoid. I'm old enough to know better than to tie myself to you in such a risky way. I wouldn't dig my own grave," he had said before hanging up without hesitation. Miss Hutton watched as the call ended, noting the six-minute duration displayed on the screen. She could tell from the commotionon the other end that the conversation hadbeen in

"I know this isn't going to be easy, but everyone needs to put in their effort," David said, trying to sound like he was on the same page as them. But deep down, they all knew it was going to be a tough road ahead."Don't worry, we will definitely follow through. We won't let you down this time. We're already very grateful that you're willing to step in," one of them replied, their words dripping with flattery and politeness. Whether there was a hint of ulterior motive behind the gratitude wasanyone's guess. Daniel, who had been silent, felt that this was a situation he didn't need toelaborate on."So, have you decided when to meet? And how do you plan to apologize? Instead of waiting for our young master to take the initiative, it might be better if he steps up for himself," he said, glancing at Daniel. Daniel felt a wave of uncertainty wash over him. He had no real confidence in this situation; even today's meeting had been arranged by his dad and brother. If he had known how to h

"What's he doing here all of a sudden? Are you roughing him up just to get back at the boss?""Exactly. We still haven't settled things from that incident at the other bar. We gave both of them a good beating, and now just a few days later, Zach shows up here and stirs up trouble."Even though the other guy didn't show up, it was still kind of fun to have a confrontation.After all, Lawrence wasn't going to let him off the hook easily."Good thing someone recognized him and tipped me off. This guy was actually planning to run away, but I couldn't stand his pathetic attitude, so I gave him a good thrashing. You can trust me to handle it." Trusting him was one thing; Zach's presence was another. Zach’s was really something else. It hadn't even been a week since he got beaten up, and here he was, back out and about, right in front of Lawrence."So, what do you plan to do with him? Are you going to end up sending him to the hospital again?""No need for the hospital; medical bills aren't

He seemed to have come alone, which made everyone feel a bit more at ease. Kelvin strode over confidently, taking a moment to glance at Lawrence, the bodyguard he had brought along. Then he looked at Miss Hutton, who appeared much the same as he remembered from their last meeting. He offered a slight smile. "Sorry for the change of plans today. I had to come early, but it looks like you both arrived quite early as well."The way he greeted them was perfectly normal for social interactions, and Lawrence found it rather amusing."It's no big deal. Would you like some coffee?" Miss Hutton asked.Kelvin nodded and signaled to a waiter to bring him a coffee. The three of them sat facing each other, sizing one another up, and for a moment, no one seemed willing to break the silence. Once his coffee arrived, Kelvin finally spoke. "Today's meeting was moved up because of Miss Hutton's situation. Why don't you explain the reasons for the changes?"Miss Hutton cleared her throat, realizing that
