CHAPTER 148
"You have a point," Mr. Caldwell said, his mind racing. "I've been thinking about this for a while, considering handing this big case over to him to see if he has what it takes to close the deal. If he can manage it, then we can put this matter to rest."In just a few sentences, he had turned into a cunning old fox, testing Thomas. It was clear that this big deal was about Gavin’s life or death, and now it all depended on Thomas's next move."I may have overstepped my bounds," Thomas replied calmly. "This is ultimately a decision for you, the CEO of your company, to make. I shouldn't interfere too much. Let's get back to the two deals at hand. Do you want me to focus on the big deal or the small one?" Thomas wasn't falling for the old fox's tricks. He had his own strategies, and he wasn't going to take the bait. The conversation was going in circles, and he refused to engage with the insinuations. Mr. Caldwell found himself in a bind, realizing that his earlier proposal was now back o
CHAPTER 147
This group of people was surprisingly composed, perhaps even too composed. Miss Hutton found this quite strange. She had expected them to rush in like dogs after a bone. With Thomas already present, it was clear that they should be eager to geta piece of the action. These business tycoons seemed to be holding back, each maintaining their pride. Once one of them made a move, it would be difficult for the others to hold back. Miss Hutton anticipated this situation; no one was truly calm in their hearts.Sure enough, someone stood up. To Miss Hutton's surprise, it was a familiar face. She felt a bit uneasy about this person— Mr. Caldwell Business. Gavin, standing nearby, recognized Mr. Caldwell and understood the implications immediately. His legs were shaking with anxiety as he debated whether to approach. But in the end, he hesitated, especially since his boss had already stood up. Holding onto his own leverage, standing up now would be more trouble than it was worth for Gavin. He cou
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
