CHAPTER 231
Marcus nodded slightly. Adessa held back her frustration. It was clear from the start that he wasn't taking this seriously; otherwise, he wouldn't have scheduled their meeting atSuch a precarious time, leaving it open to interruptions."You see, I have other things to attend to.Let's meet again later. Don't worry, as long as you come to my side, I'll make arrangements for you," he said dismissively. Adessa felt a wave of dissatisfaction wash over her at his words, but she stood up and walked out anyway. As she passed the doorway, she glanced at the secretary, a hint of confusion in her eyes. The secretary noticed the tension from the conversation and wisely kept her mouth shut.Once outside Marcus's office, Adessa didn't leave. Instead, she turned and headed in another direction, toward Emily's office. As she walked through the company, she confirmed she was on the right track. The layout of the offices never changed, and she couldn't decide if that made the woman nostalgic or indif
CHAPTER 230
As the two of them stepped outside, theyspotted the assistant. The assistant took a glance at the person behind them and noted that they looked quite decent."Hey, who's this? It can't be that Mr. Marcus wants to meet with them, right?"The secretary shot a glance at the assistant, cursing under her breath. How many more times was she going to run into this today?Adessa remained silent. As she returned to the office, it felt like she hadn't encountered anyone who recognized her; everyone was a stranger."We're in a bit of a hurry, Miss Adessa," the secretary said, gesturing for them to move along. Adessa walked past without acknowledging him. Adessa watched them leave, spitting on the ground in frustration. It was infuriating to see such petty people getting ahead. When the chairman returned, he would see just how long they could keep this up. Just because they held a few shares didn't mean they were in charge."This is Mr. Marcus' office. Please hold on for a moment," the secretary
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
