CHAPTER 146
To Gavin, the seemingly dual-choice answer was just a direction."I can do it, but you can't just give me a final answer when it's all said and done," Gavin replied quickly. Mr. Caldwell knew there was some hope for the situation, but he wasn't fully confident. Otherwise, Gavin wouldn't be here seeking forgiveness, even though what he feared most was accountability."Alright, Gavin, you've got some skills, I'll be straight with you. I can reinstate you as the manager for a month. If you don't achieve anything in that time, l'll call the police. How does that sound?" Mr. Caldwell said with a smile. Gavin could only nod in agreement, while Iris, though not entirely on board, found herself unable to speak up."Well then, it's settled. And since you're already here, it shouldn't be too hard to call Miss Hutton over, right?" I know she has a hidden agenda, wanting a solid backup plan."Of course, we can talk when Miss Hutton is around. She's probably busy in the back right now," Iris said,
CHAPTER 145
This business gathering was more than just a casual meet-up; it was a private chat among industry giants, a chance to lay all their cards on the table regarding potential collaborations. At this event, some attendees could confidently present their opportunities while holding a cup of coffee. This was precisely why the gathering was both discreet and significant. Ms. Hutton glanced at the invitation list in front of her, placing a red circle around the name Gavin, signaling the waiter to keep a close eye on him. She observed the couple, Iris and her husband, arm in arm. It seemed that Iris was still worried about her clueless husband and felt the need to take matters into her own hands. But that wasn't something she needed to fret about. Whether they came alone or together, as long as they followed Thomas' plan step by step, they would eventually fall into the trap, allowing Thomas to savor the thrill of revenge. That would be Ms. Hutton's way of fulfilling her duties as his secreta
CHAPTER 144
"I'll repeat it: none of us here is ignorant of the law. The lawyer has explained everything clearly. If Grandpa doesn't wake up by next Monday, we must proceed with a normal handover without dragging in any other issues." When the topic of the photos came up, Iris felt a pang of guilt. She didn't intend to protect the murderer; she had told the police everything, just without pointing fingers. Thankfully, the police had strict privacy regulations, or she wouldn't even be able to sit here right now. "I'm telling you, if this matter isn't resolved, even if you get the money next Monday, I will fight you to the end. You'll have to spill everything you took, and you'll still end up in jail." Uriel, who usually exuded an air of coldness, spoke with a fierce intensity that caught even Thomas's attention. He couldn't help but admire her a little. He had always thought the younger generation of the Meyer family was a bunch of underachievers, living off their parents' wealth, and that any o
CHAPTER 143
"Boss, I've met with Iris and shared the necessary details with her. I also gave her the invitation voucher. The next step is to let her meet with the Caldwell Family," Ms. Hutton reported. Although she didn't dare to speculate too much about Thomas's intentions, she had a good sense of her boss's style. It was clear that he wanted Iris to experience true despair. Just when she thought she had everything under control, he would push her into hopelessness. That was the thrill of revenge for him."Don't worry about the details; I'll handle the arrangements from here. You did well. You know how greedy Iris is-she'll always want more. Let's keep her hanging for now; she has her own issues to deal with," Thomas replied.After hanging up the phone, Thomas stepped back inside from the balcony and glanced at Ava, who was already fast asleep. A gentle smile crossed his face. The situation with the family was more complicated than he had anticipated. Without a clear resolution, it was unlikely
CHAPTER 142
After Thomas blocked Iris, he never thought she would reach out again. He always assumed Ms. Hutton would handle everything. Ms. Hutton did get involved, but it was a bit late. She hadn't planned on contacting anyone early in the morning. Around 11 a.m., she finally sent a message to Iris. At that moment, Iris had gone from anxious to disappointed, and finally to resigned. Just then, she heard a notification sound. She opened her phone to see a message from Ms. Hutton."Miss Iris, this is Ms. Hutton who contacted you yesterday. Let's meet today at the café on the first floor of Rodina Restaurant around 2 p.m. I'll have an hour free."Seeing this message, Iris was overjoyed. Finally, amidst all the bad news, she found a glimmer of hope. It was still early, but she couldn't sit still. She changed outfits multiple times, preparing different ways to expressherself, but she couldn't settle on just one.After getting herself ready, Iris took a deep breath and packed her diamond necklace.

CHAPTER 141
A group of people stepped out of the police station, and just a few steps away, Thomas was called out by a voice. "That photo was really sent to you by Iris, wasn't it?" "What's it to you? Curious, are we?" Lawrence turned around and came face to face with Robison, the person he suspected the most. "I just want to say, don't let yourself be used. If that photo ends up being yours, it could really backfire on you." Robison's tone was unusually grim, lacking the explosive anger he usually displayed. Thomas paused for a moment, realizing that this guy was playing mind games, but he probably wouldn't outsmart him. There was no way he would rely on that fool, Iris, to gather the final evidence. All she wanted was to drag Iris into the mess. "I could say the same to you. That shadow might very well be a guy. Who knows whose shadow it will end up comparing to? You should be more careful with yourself than warning me." As Thomas spoke to Robison in this manner, Ava grew increasingly sile
