CHAPTER 178
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
CHAPTER 175
After dinner, Gavin was left to handle all the household chores as usual. Since the recent events, Iris had become completely hands-off, relying on him for everything. Whether it was work or home duties, he did it all. He didn't dare to voice any complaints. He couldn't quite understand why their family dynamics had suddenly shifted to a situation where the man was weak and thewoman was strong. Once he finished tidying up, he retreated to his study and booted up his computer, starting to write up documents one by one.He had a lot of work to catch up on, especially since he no longer had his former secretary or any support staff. He had to take on many tasks himself, which inevitably meant long hours. Staying late at the office often drew criticism from his employees, especially since rumors about the previous incident were still circulating. He preferred to be out and about rather than stuck in the office, but the work piled up and had to be completed. So, he often found himself wor
CHAPTER 174
When Gavin parked his car downstairs, it wasn't too late. He thought about picking up dinner for Iris, a takeout from a nearby restaurant that included four dishes and a soup. As soon as he walked in, he heard music playing loudly. He saw Iris lying out on a mat and doing her yoga routine. She didn't even glance his way when she heard him come in. Last time, Gavin had been extremely unhappy with Iris over some issues. She had told him that unless he completely restored his career and returned their lives. The way they used to be, she didn't even want to talk to him.Their interactions as a couple had becomevery brief. Aside from their three meals a day, they hardly spoke about anything else. At this moment, his return was met with silence, clearly indicating her unwillingness to engage with him."I brought you dinner. Come eat when you're ready," he said, holding the bag as he started to walk toward the inner room. "Wait a minute. How did your company do today? Did you get that contr
CHAPTER 173
"Ava, I hope you're prepared for whatever else might come out about this situation. It might not be what you think," Uriel said, probing the edge of the truth with a hint of desperation."Cousin, I'm calling you 'cousin' for a reason. No matter what happens, it can't possibly involve my family's Thomas. I really hope the killer gets caught soon," Ava replied, shifting the topic abruptly. Since Uriel had just learned about this, it had nothing to do with Robison anymore. Now, she was here, urging Ava to reconsider her legal team, which made Ava wonder if a new suspect was lurking in the shadows."What are you talking about? That's not what I meant! I was thinking about people from other places—never mind..." Uriel felt that she shouldn't have said that. She had only wanted to give a hint. The truth was, there was a glaring misunderstanding between them."Oh, I see. So what other places should I be worried about? You're not suggesting it's about Grandpa, are you? What did the doctor say
