Hearing this, Marcus set down his glass and sat on the couch before him, his expression heavy. "I know you have your own way of doing things, but Kiara has put in her share of hard work. What happened last time was a bit much, don't you think?" David had been waiting for Marcus to speak up. He thought Marcus would keep his thoughts to himself, but as Kiara's mentor, it was impossible for him to stay silent about the injustice. The last major case had involved a lot of complications. To avoid any leaks, they had to hand it off to someone else at the last minute. While Marcus credited Kiara for her contributions, he had no idea about her personal aspirations; his focus was primarily on the company's interests.

Kiara’s actions were driven by her own interests, which was understandable, but it was Marcus's last-minute change of heart

that had caused the issue.

"I admit I was wrong in this situation, and I've explained it to her. But there's no need to hold a grudge, right? You know my per

    Upon hearing this, Miss Hutton raised an eyebrow slightly. This person seemed to have some sense regarding work; they weren't completely clueless."Well then, you can lead the way. Let's keep a low profile this time. Aside from a few individuals, no one should be too aware of my identity. Let's not make things too tense; I just stopped that secretary from making a suggestion." Miss Hutton mentioned the secretary again, this being the second time, and it wasn't by accident. She had done her homework on the company and knew that the secretary was one of Mr. Caldwell's mistresses, but she was unique. This secretary had been around for a long time, was highly capable, and familiar with Gavin's schedule. Miss Hutton could clearly sense that Gavin was surprised by her presence, likely because he had initially set this up underher name.When she was introduced, although she didn't directly expose him, she made her dissatisfaction with Gavin clear. The dynamics between the two intrigued her,

    Hearing this, Gavin nodded heavily. The person in front of him was so easy to talk toto. Who knows if he could get close to him and earn his trust? He might climb to a higher position and leave everything back home behind. After the last incident, it was already a miracle that things could be salvaged backhome. Staying with Mr. Caldwell, as Thomas had said, made it seem nearly impossible for him to have a breakthrough.Buzz buzz…”His phone vibrated twice.Gavin glanced down and saw a notification from the company. What was going on? He opened the message, and it was from Thomas, saying that Miss Hutton had arrived and was asking where he was. Miss Hutton's arrival was completely unexpected for him. Didn't she say she would notify him in advance? He had been watching his phone, but there had been no updates. Why was she messaginghim now? Mr. Johnson had been observing him closely and noticed that his expressionchanged after reading the message. He didn't know what was going on, bu

    "I don't have much to say about this matter, after all, it was my promise. I thought that eventually, his son would get better, and things wouldn't be like this anymore," the other said. Person added, their tone now calm and no longer filled with disbelief. Mr. Johnson wasn't really a friend; he was just someone who had completed a transaction with Thomas. The financier orchestrated this whole situation. If he were to put this person in charge of overseeing things, it would only lead to trouble.Looking at the person in front of him, it was easy to imagine that any supervision would likely create more problems for the financier. Besides, the financier was willing to spend a large sum of money to kidnap him; could their relationship really be as simple as Gavin suggested? Hearing this, Gavin felt disappointed; it seemed the other person wasn't as naive as he had hoped. This situation couldn't be rushed; haste makes waste."Right, right. After all, it's a matter concerning a child, whic

    The words he spoke went unnoticed by the other party, who wore a faint, cold smile. This person was quietly reviewing all the information about Gavin in his mind. Indeed, he was the one provided by his wealthy benefactor. It was unclear how the man in front of him had angered this benefactor. At first glance, he seemed like an ordinary guy, though he spoke with the shrewdness of a businessman. Upon meeting, he thought to himself that this man really knew how to handle people."Hey, how can you say that? I'm just trying to be a good host here. We don't need to talk about all that; let's just get straight to ordering," he said cheerfully. Gavin felt no doubt about the other man's generosity. In fact, he was quite pleased, thinking about how beneficial it would be to build a good relationship with someone like this big shot. Who knows, he might even become a stepping stone for his future success. Right now, he was in a tense situation with Mr. Caldwell Business, where things were on the

  • CHAPTER 177

    Ms. Hutton was busy handling some new contracts when she noticed an unfamiliar number calling her. She frowned; she didn't recognize it, and her personal phone didn't have this number saved. Ms. Hutton was someone who kept her work and personallife separate, managing her contacts meticulously. She even had a bit of a compulsive streak, categorizing and naming her contacts with precision. Typically, if she didn't recognize a number, she wouldn't answer it and would simply block it. But this one felt oddly familiar. She hung up the call and headed over to the registration department. If a number seemed familiar, it was likely registered somewhere. To her surprise, it turned out to be Gavin's number. Ms. Hutton wondered what was going on. Why was he calling her personal number? It seemed her number had circulated morethan she thought. Meanwhile, Gavin stared at his phone after the call was disconnected. Did she reject his call because it was from anunknown number? It looked like he w

  • CHAPTER 176

    As Gavin stepped out of Mr. Caldwell’s office, his brow furrowed deeply. Things were looking grim; he wasn't a miracle worker, after all. How could he possibly get everything done in just two weeks? After reviewing the partnership documents, the weight on his shoulders felt even heavier. Mr. Caldwell was indeed a cunning fox. He was all about profit and had his plans laid out perfectly, yet he wouldn't allow Gavin to set any terms. The worst part was that I didn't even have the standing to negotiate.The stakes were enormous. This deal wasso significant that even if it drove the company to the brink of bankruptcy, it could still revive it with this one transaction. The difficulty of the situation was clear; no smart business would tie itself to this company for a full three years.A three-year commitment meant that at times, the client would also be restricted to the role of a subordinate. This was especially true after already signing a deal worth $2 billion. Mr. Caldwell wasn't the
