CHAPTER 229
The secretary was unaware of Marcus's background. Suddenly, he had become the largest shareholder, threatening the current chairman's position, and she had unexpectedly found herself in a better situation because of it. Just from this one incident, it was clear that he was someone significant. She couldn't afford to be careless aboutanything he did; her job was now in someone else's hands."Mr. Marcus, understood."As the secretary stepped out with a list and a stack of documents, she collided with a familiar face, her gaze flickering slightly. She cursed under her breath, thinking, "Great, just my luck to run into him.""What did they have you doing in there?You seem to be running around quite diligently these days. Looks like being assigned to the new boss has really worked out for you," he said, his words dripping with sarcasm. She was used to his sharp remarks by now.Ever since Mr. Marcus arrived, he had been throwing cold jabs and looking for ways to provoke her. It all stemme
CHAPTER 228
"But you know what? Today I heard someone at the hospital say that he's a shareholder there, and I was shocked." The lawyer said this while still thinking about the hospital, and the doctor across from him looked incredulous."No way! Someone so low-key? Professor Mark usually has a pretty high threshold; it's not easy for just anyone to get in. Even Mr. Meyer might have a hard time." Hearing the doctor's words, the lawyer nodded. That was exactly why he felt surprised.The doctor, who hadn't dealt with this family for long, still had some understanding of how appearances could be deceiving. He looked at the lawyer again. "Could it be that he's just playing the part of a simpleton? Maybe he's actually a super-rich guy who's been keeping quiet all along."The lawyer chuckled weakly at the doctor's comment. Did he really think this was some fantasy novel? No way!I've been working with this family for a long time, and I've known Thomas for several years. He simply doesn't have that kind
CHAPTER 225
Kelvin was surprised at how easily he agreed. His mood was a mix of relief and lingering anxiety, as everything suddenly seemed to fall into place. He looked at Gavin and nodded. "Of course! Once you're abroad, I'll arrange for you to work at my dad's company. Don't worry, since l'm bringing you overseas, I won't let you have any worries."Hearing this, Gavin nearly jumped for joy. This solution seemed to clear up all his problems. Once he left the country, Mr. Caldwell wouldn't be able to touch him, and he didn't have to worry about his identity with Thomas. But there was one thing that still troubled him."But can we bring family members? If we can, wouldn't that complicate things a bit more?"Gavin's sudden question put Kelvin in a tough spot. The plan was to only involve Gavin; bringing family into it would be a whole different ball game."Well, that's a bit tricky. Do you think your family would support you going abroad? It might be better if you go first to get settled for six m
CHAPTER 226
Gavin opened the door again and stepped inside, noticing that the place was much less crowded than before. He glanced at his phone, checking for messages, and scanned the room for familiar faces, but found none. Suddenly, he remembered something and hurried up the stairs. Just then, he bumped into a familiar figure coming down the stairs- Miss Hutton.Seeing Gavin, Miss Hutton felt a wave of relief.She had been searching for a while, and at least she hadn't let her boss down. With a relaxed smile, she greeted him. But that smile startled him. What was this woman up to?No matter what tricks she had up her sleeve, he wasn't going to fall for them. Just her earlier call at the hospital had sent chills down his spine. Logically, they should have arrived at the same time, but somehow he had gotten back here first, which meant something was off.Miss Hutton seemed to sense his thoughts andpaused her steps slightly. The situation at the hospital was a bit abrupt, and I didn't manage to gr
CHAPTER 225
Miss Hutton rushed into the hospital, heading straight toward her boss's direction. Feeling a bit anxious, she glanced back at him and offered a small smile."You don't need to worry so much. I won't blame you for what just happened. It was my own impulsiveness; you did nothing wrong," Thomas reassured her. He focused on the issue at hand rather than the person, and besides, Miss Hutton was acting out of urgency as a competent secretary. Hearing this, Miss Hutton let out a sigh of relief, but the memory of her boss's furious expression still sent shivers down her spine. She knew how much he despised that couple, but he had plenty of people he disliked. Among them, those two weren't even the worst.Today, however, they had crossed a line, especially Iris, who wouldn't stop talking nonsense."I think we can change our plans now. Get back in touch with the kidnappers. I'll give you their contact information shortly. We need to come up with a new strategy," he continued. Iris swallowed ha
CHAPTER 224
Gavin felt that something was off, and it wasn't the right time to intervene. He sensed that today wasn't a good day to provoke Thomas, nor did he want Thomas to spill anything to Kelvin."Let's all just calm down and not make afuss. Today's situation calls for some understanding among us," he suggested,His tone was surprisingly diplomatic. This was quite unlike Gavin, and both Miss Hutton and Thomas turned to look at him, surprised that he had the sense to speak up. Iris, after several of Gavin’s attempts to defuse the situation, began to realize that things were indeed a bit off-kilter. But deep down, she couldn't shake off her frustration. Why did someone she looked down upon have to act so arrogantly, as if she were beneath him?For days, ever since the incident involving Gavin, she felt like there was a massive bomb ticking away in her chest, and she wanted to let it all explode today."You don't need to play the peacemaker here. Do you really think they'll appreciate your effo
