Everything was going smoothly. When Gavin finally changed into a fresh outfit and settled into his office, he took a moment to catch his breath and think things through. He locked the door, immersing himself in his own thoughts.At first, he had considered his family, but now he no longer felt the need to. He decided to team up with Kelvin, using his connections to escape the country. He was curious to see how Iris would handle the mess he was leaving behind. Did he really think he could just run away?He was determined to board this escape ship; it was his chance for a new beginning, free from any obligations to Iris. If she were unkind, then he could be ungrateful too.Now, he needed to calm down and carefully devise a plan. If he wanted to flee the country, he had to sort out his passport. It wouldn't be easy to pull this off right under the noses of Iris and his boss. The only person he could turn to for help was Kelvin. The atmosphere in the office had shifted; it was no longer a

As Iris stepped out, she took in the sight of the messy bedroom, clothes strewn about, and the closet in disarray. She noticed Gavin still rummaging through things, feeling a bit puzzled."What are you doing? Why is the room such a mess? I really don't have the time or energy to clean up right now," she said, irritation creeping into her voice. Gavin turned around quickly, shoving something into the closet and slamming the door shut with a loud thud. He looked back at her, a hint of apology in his eyes."I brought home a contract, but I can't find it now, and I'm a bit anxious," he admitted.Usually, he took his time in the shower, but today he was unusually quick, hoping to use the time to dig out their important documents."I can't believe you'd leave a contract in that closet. Seriously, stop messing around. I need to sleep; we can deal with this in the morning," she replied, clearly frustrated.At that moment, he really didn't want to argue with Iris. He stepped forward and starte

"The chip injection hurts a bit; it requiressurgery to stitch it in. But don't even thinkabout trying to take it out yourself, because that will let us know."After saying this, Lawrence glanced at Thomas, seemingly seeking his approval. Thomas nodded, giving his silent consent. The two men in black swiftly moved to restrain the woman's arms. She trembled in fear, and they dragged her outside, taking her to get the chip injected."You had this plan from the start. The chip is a clever idea; it must have been Philip’s thinking, right?"Indeed, Thomas knew his subordinate well. Lawrence nodded; he hadn't intended to take credit for this."This woman is too cunning. She insisted on handling this herself to feel secure." Lawrence thought it might also be a form of torture. After all, cutting into flesh to implant a chip sounded like some cruel punishment, especially without anesthesia."It seems he guessed from the beginning that I wouldn't kill her." As Thomas opened the door, he still

Philip looked at Solara in front of him, feeling like a fake shareholder. If he knew Thomas's true identity, he couldn't imagine how Thomas would react. He was also puzzled about why his boss kept hiding his identity."Well, it's not like that. It's just that you need to focus on resting at home. That's what really matters right now," he said, trying to sound reassuring. His words were smooth and caring, almost like a warm blanket wrapped around her."Oh, dear, you have no idea how happy I am to be in this hospital. I'm just worried that the doctors might look down on us common folks. Sometimes it feels like they prioritize patients based on status. But now that you're here, I feel like I'll get the best treatment," she replied with a smile."What are you talking about? Doctors treat everyone equally. You shouldn't say things like that," Philip said, trying to lighten the mood. Ava couldn't help but intervene. She thought about her mother and how it was better not to reveal too much i

Miss Hutton was a thoughtful and intelligent secretary, a fact that Thomas never doubted, and right now, it was perfectly evident."The old man definitely approved it; he made all the decisions himself." Thomas tone was calm, making it hard to guess his true feelings, but Miss Hutton had a keen intuition and was familiar enough with her boss to sense that this was just a brief calm before the storm."Boss, why don't you take a look at this confirmation letter first?"The personnel appointment was only three short pages, emphasizing both parties' requirements and important notes. Thecontent and signatures clearly illustratedeverything. She had to inform Thomas early in the morning, not because she wanted to take a shot at David, but because he refused to cooperate.Miss Hutton couldn't afford to delay this matter. If she knew something important anddidn't report it to her boss in time, she would have to answer for it later. She wasn't foolish enough to make that mistake. Thomas flip
