"The Secretary, just pretend you didn't hear anything I just said. I've been so busy lately that I've lost my sense of discretion," Kiara quickly reined in her emotions.In this company, there were hardly any trustworthy friends, and the person in front of her was just a dreamer. Miss Hutton looked at her and soon revealed a professional smile."I'll act as if I didn't hear anything.However, we must be careful in our work; otherwise, it will leave traces behind." At those words, Kiara felt her other emotions fade away. She hadalready allowed herself one mistake; there wouldn't be a second."Is that so? We in the legal department need to be especially cautious. After all, we face far more backlash than you do," Kiara replied, her tone sharp. Miss Hutton couldn't help but admire Kiara, she was truly a master at managing her emotions, especially since she had just shown a hint of wavering."Exactly, Miss Kiara. We must prioritize the company's interests above all else. For the boss, th

She decided to follow through with the sob story she had just discussed with her dad. She was sure her daughter would be convinced. Jack nodded, fully aware of how serious the situation was. Only Ava could help them out."So your dad came over for this reason too?""Of course! We can't waste any time. Let's pack our things and go find her today."Once Solara learned about Thomas's identity, she couldn't sit still for a moment. It felt like a knife was hanging over her neck, and if they didn't act quickly, it would be too late.Surprisingly, Jack agreed with her."Why don't you start gathering your things? I'll go register with the nurse, and we'll leave right away."As they packed up, they soon grabbed a taxi to head over. On the way, Jack called Ava."Hey, sweetheart, are you home right now?"Ava glanced at the clock, wondering how they knew she had taken the day off."Yeah, Dad. What's going on?"When her dad reached her, she could only think that something must be wrong. Hearing t

Solara couldn't shake the feeling that the woman in front of her was being a bit too cryptic. It was as if she knew her on a levelthat went beyond the usual employee-boss relationship."Excuse me, miss, how should I address you?" Solara asked, trying to keep her tone casual."Auntie, I'm with the Hutton Family. You can just call me Miss Hutton," the woman replied with a smile that seemed friendly enough, but Solara sensed something beneath the surface.In their line of work, it was all about knowing how to talk to people- saying the right thing to the right person, whether they were a friend or a foe. Just yesterday, her secretary had pulled a fast one on her, and now Solara felt it was her turn to play a little game. After all, how would this woman know her last name?Besides, Solara was acting a bit sneaky herself, which only added to her unease. Even if she said something out of line, she doubted Miss Hutton would dare to run straight to Thomas with it. It gave her a sense of fals

The day before the storm arrived, the Robison family's home was already in chaos. Early that morning, the doorbell rang nonstop.Ding. Ding. Ding.Nancy stormed toward the door with an ugly expression."Who is it this early in the morning?"She yanked the door open, ready to curse at whoever was outside. But the moment she saw two people in official uniforms, the words got stuck in her throat."Hello."One of them showed his identification."We're from the tax office.""We need to conduct an investigation regarding your company."The color drained from her face."Tax... tax office?" "Yes."Her legs almost gave out. She quickly forced a smile and stepped aside."Please come in."As the two officials entered, she secretly glanced at the maid nearby and signaled upstairs. The aunt immediately understood.Robison needed to come down.Upstairs, Robison had already heard the commotion. The moment he spotted the uniforms through the railing, his heart sank.The aunt hurried over."Young Mas

"Thank you all for waiting so long; it's truly our fault. We hit a bit of traffic on the way."With just a few casual words, he exuded the confidence of someone in charge, as if he were the host of the gathering. His tone sparked some discontent among the guests, leading to a few cold huffs, but an intense glare from the old man quickly silenced them.'It's no problem at all. After all, you're the star of the show today, so we should be the ones waiting," the old man said, his tone surprisingly accommodating. The others, still unaware of the situation, were taken aback. When did their elder start buttering up Thomas like this? This was certainly not the old man's usual style. Thomas smiled slightly at the comment and walked furtherinside."Since we have so many people here, let's gather around the big round table. It'll be easier to discuss things that way." Thomas demeanor felt different from usual, and Solara couldn't help but notice the variouscomplex expressions on her relatives
