CHAPTER 283
As the evening settled in, Thomas found himself alone in the car. Ava insisted on staying at the hospital, and her father agreed. Solara was indeed fragile at thismoment. If Thomas had a bit more love for himself, he might have wished to stay with her too. But someone had to go back to grab somenecessary clothes and make the appropriate preparations, and that responsibility fell squarely on Thomas's shoulders. The meeting today, along with the arguments that erupted among the group, finally came to a temporary close before the night turned completely dark.As Thomas gazed at the familiar city, he suddenly felt that the family he had built on lies was heading in a wonderfully positive direction. In his eyes, these lies hadn't harmed anyone; they weren't intentional, just temporary.In contrast, Iris's lies were the epitome of intention."We can't access Grandpa's money fornow. He was a bit cautious, so you need to perform well on Mr. Caldwell Day." From the moment Iris walked in, th
CHAPTER 284
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

"Don't worry, I'll handle everything on my end. I have to seize this opportunity to go abroad; apart from this chance, I won't have another shot at changing my life." His words were filled with determination, but Kelvin on the other side of the table scoffed at him. Once he made up his mind, he would fall right into their hands, and whatever the backers decided to do with him-whether it meant taking his life or dumping him somewhere-was the least of their concerns."Now that I hear you say that, I feel much more at ease. It's clear you're hoping for a hidden surprise with this matter, and I will do everything I can to support you."At this moment, he was the person in the organization who had the most direct contact with Gavin. However, he was about to completely change his identity on this trip abroad. There was no need for him to return home. He glanced at the surveillance camera, thinking that leaving behind a few more pieces of evidence wouldn't hurt."Thank you for your help toda
CHAPTER 286
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
CHAPTER 287
She couldn't fathom who she had offendedto provoke such powerful adversaries. As she noted the direction they were heading, she felt a flicker of relief that her eyes weren't covered. She desperately committed the route to memory; it could very well be a matter of life and death.Eventually, they drove toward the outskirts. The woman's heart raced with anxiety.Surely, they weren't planning to dispose of her in the wilderness, were they? The thought sent shivers down her spine. Sensing her distress, one of the men pulled out a knife again."We don't want to hurt you or rob you, butIf you keep being difficult, we'll have to find a way to make you cooperate. You won't be able to run away again." His warning had a chilling effect. He continued to scan the roadside, and while the two of them were somewhat concealed in the middle, the group made no effort to hide their path.In fact, their blatant disregard for caution only heightened her fear. It felt as if they believed they could act
CHAPTER 288
"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
CHAPTER 289
Compared to the driver's unease, the woman understood Philip’s true nature much better.This guy had really hit the jackpot. It wasunclear where he found this group of people, but there was no doubt they were on his side. If she kept pushing this issue, the only one who would end up in trouble would be her."Don't talk big. If those people over there tell me to stay away from you, I will. After all, I'm part of the Gang." That last part was a warning. She could feel the resentment simmering beneath the surface; he wished he could deal with her right then and there. The Gang was a disgusting organization that couldn't be wiped out completely, and he couldn't just throw her behind bars, so he kept thinking of ways to handle the situationhimself."It's fine. You'll eventually learn that people get what they deserve. I won't be around forever. Driver, please stop at that intersection up ahead." This wasn't where he needed to stay, and the driver obediently pulled over at thecorner. He

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

"Mom, can we just talk? It's really uncomfortable when you stare at me like that."Solara shot him a glare. Here she was, trying to do him a favor, and he was acting all weird about it."I just spoke to that little kid, and they said they would waive all of the medical fees for him. Isn't that a huge savings?"Ava and Jack were both taken aback. What kind of request was that? Someone helps you out, and you bring up something like this?"Mom, how can you say that? Their moneyIt isn't just nothing! Besides, Iris' medical bills are something Thomas and I can easily handle."Solara scoffed at her. Just because they could both pay didn't mean Ava wasn't mostly footing the bill. Saving money was saving money, after all. Ava knew that Thomas'The situation was different from what she hadthought before. His family might be doing business and had some wealth, so he was the one mostly covering the hospital expenses for their daughter."I'm just looking out for you two. Raising a child takes m
CHAPTER 292
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
