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
CHAPTER 172
It's somewhat amusing, really. Thomas woke up with his daughter beside him. Seeing her father still there, the child felt reassured for quite a while. After comforting her for a long time, Thomas decided it was time to head home. While driving, he suddenly noticed an unfamiliar number on his phone. This call interface looked different from before. In addition to the hang-up button, there was a black arrow below it, accompanied by the words "Not Transferred." It seemed this was what the hacker had mentioned earlier: if he didn't want to take the call, it would be forwarded directly. It was an unknown number, definitely not someone from Robison's contacts.He pressed the button for the voice changer, selected Robison's voice, and immediately answered via Bluetooth."Hello, who is this?"As soon as he spoke, there was silence on the other end. After a brief hesitation, he thought maybe it was the kidnapper. Finally, the other person spoke, their voice deep and somewhat eerie. "Who are yo
CHAPTER 171
"I asked if you could even understand me. It doesn't matter what floor I'm on; call Thomas out, and I'll show you that I'm indeed his friend." Gavin was convinced that Thomas was inside. Otherwise, the woman wouldn't have said that. The woman scoffed at his words. She knew just how impressive her young master was. There were plenty of people who tried to casually claim friendship with him, but unfortunately for them, she could see through their facade. She recognized many faces.Today, those few people had relaxed their guard simply because the young masterwas present, allowing someone like this to linger at the entrance."Listen, stop making a scene. This is a patient rest area. I don't want to argue with you. If you don't leave, I'll have to call security to throw you out. Gavin had already faced a lot offrustration that day-first in the parking lot, then with the long queue. He never expected to be confronted by a rude aunt at this point.He turned sharply and slammed the door, a
