CHAPTER 373
"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
CHAPTER 374
____At the hospital ___The strange things have been happening lately. For three consecutive days, someone has been coming to see Solara. This time, Solara couldn't afford to be as tough as before."Dad, what brings you here to see me out of the blue?"Mr. Meyer looked around the hospital room. It was indeed nice; he had never heard of this private hospital before, but after taking a look around, he could tell that it had all the amenities. It was a good place."I've been busy with work and couldn't come to see you earlier. But I figured it's better late than never." Solara wanted to point out that she had been recovering for several days and was about to be discharged, so it wasn't really late at all. Still, she smiled brightly."Better late than never! Even if it's just for a second, it counts."Mr. Meyer wasn't in the mood for small talk. He scanned the room and noticed signs that someone had been keeping her company."Has Thomas come to see you recently?"The moment he mentioned
CHAPTER 375
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
CHAPTER 376
Thomas glanced at Solara’s face, hoping to catch a hint of what she was thinking."I'll take my parents home. You go ahead," he said. Ava stepped in to divert the attention, knowing that this awkward situation couldn't go on any longer. Solara looked at her daughter with genuine admiration.Even after learning about his identity, Ava still maintained her usual demeanor."Do you want me to give you a ride?" Solara offered."No!"The three of them replied in unison. After that, a heavy silence fell over them, as if they were all trying to hide something."I understand. Just be careful on the way," Thomas said, breaking the silence as he headed upstairs.As she watched his figure disappear, Solara finally found the courage to speak."If he's driving, who would dare to get in the car with him?"Ava shot her a glance but didn't respond.Once they were all in the car, Solara kept quiet during the ride, her eyes wandering around the interior. It was a really nice car. They had never owned on
CHAPTER 377
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
CHAPTER 378
As Solara stepped into the house, she froze.Jack was sitting on a chair right by the door, his arms folded across his chest as if he'd been waiting there for hours. The sight startled her."What's wrong with you? Why are you sitting here like some kind of ghost trying to scare me?" she said, pressing a hand against her chest.Jack let out a short laugh."Oh, so you finally remembered this house exists. Why not stay out there a little longer and collect more gossip before coming back?"It was obvious he didn't believe her story about going out for a simple walk.Solara rolled her eyes and walked past him with her bag."I'm about to make breakfast, so spare me the drama."Jack laughed coldly."Breakfast? Solara, look at the time. If you're cooking now, that's lunch."The comment immediately got under her skin.She had spent the whole morning trying to figure out a better future for their family, yet Jack made it sound like she'd been roaming around causing trouble."What's your problem
CHAPTER 379: TAX OFFICIALS
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
CHAPTER 380: A MEETING
Kiara stared at the file on her desk, then looked up at Miss Hutton. The more she looked at the documents, the darker her expression became."You're joking, right?""You want me to handle this case?"Miss Hutton didn't even look up. She calmly flipped through another file."Do I look like I'm joking?""This came directly from the boss." Kiara almost laughed."So now I'm being used for family matters too?""I'm the deputy head of the legal department, not a babysitter." Miss Hutton finally raised her head. "The shareholders' meeting is coming soon." "The boss wants you occupied for now.""You won't need to appear in court.""And you don't even have to win."That somehow made Kiara feel even worse.She leaned back in her chair."Can you tell the boss something for me?""Our department actually has real work to do." "We can't spend every day dealing with his relatives." Miss Hutton simply slid a business card across the table."They've already started making contact.""You'll probably ge
CHAPTER 381
"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
CHAPTER 382
"Thomas, what exactly do you want? Can't we just clear things up with them?"Thomas looked at Ava, signaling her to stay calm. It wasn't going to be that easy with this group of people. Solara couldn't hold back any longer. If they agreed to even a little, it would mean a million dollars, and in just ten minutes, they could be looking at ten million."Let me go first. As your mother-in-law, I was the one who gave the nod when you two got married. Doesn't that count as helping you?"Her words drew a collective scoff from the relatives. How could she even say that?Back then, she had opposed the marriage fiercely, looking down on Thomas because he had no money. She had hoped her daughter would marry a wealthy guy and even tried to meddle after the wedding.And now, she had the nerve to claim she helped Thomas?But Thomas didn't deny it. Instead, he handed her a check from his pocket."Alright, I can agree with that." This opening remark ignited the entire atmosphere, but surprisingly, i
