CHAPTER 345
Thomas walked in, followed closely by Miss Hutton and Lawrence. They exchanged glances, and it seemed like the numbers matched up just right.From the corner of his eye, Thomas caught sight of Gavin, who was sitting there nervously, avoiding direct eye contact as he entered. With a cold smirk, Thomas thought to himself that it seemed Lucas hadn't treated him well either."Today's a strange day at the office. While I was here working hard during the day, none of you bothered to show up. Now, you all rush in at night-are you here to check on the results?"Thomas smile didn't reach his eyes as he settled into one corner of the nearby sofa, observing Lucas and David’s.Now that he was here, he was curious to see what kind of game they were playing."Well, since you're here, you might as well take a look. We're all familiar faces, except for my secretary, but you probably won't run into him often. I just wanted you to see him," Lucas said, tilting his head toward Gavin.All eyes in the roo
CHAPTER 344
"She wants to get involved in this matter, which isn't impossible. If it comes to that, we can just let the kidnappers go first. We'll deny everything and cut ties cleanly." Right now, dealing with Gavin wasn't urgent for her. He was in her grasp, as easy to crush as an ant. "Boss, I've thought about that too, but Lucas has evidence of our meeting with the kidnappers, and one of them has a criminal record." If there were no solid evidence, just her own assumptions and guesses, she could easily wash her hands of the situation. She could find a way to distance herself without confronting her boss. But The problem was that Lucas had the evidence of their meeting, and it felt like he was trying to escalate things. "Does that woman really dare to do that? That kind of evidence isn't much, especially since the kidnapping hasn't even taken place yet." Thomas realized that Miss Hutton was getting anxious, which surprisingly calmed him down. Lucas was trying to stir up trouble, but if th

Thomas arrived at the office early in the morning, causing quite a stir. As Miss Hutton rushed out to greet him, she noticed the bright smile on his face, as if he had just received some good news."It's been a while since we've made any progress. We can't delay any longer. Starting today, I need you to hand over some business matters to me," he said, his relief evident. With the biggest issue at home finally resolved, how could he not feel at ease?He no longer had to hide or avoid people at work.Miss Hutton didn't care what good news her boss had received; she just wanted to focus on her own responsibilities."Let me grab the latest quarterly summary report for you. Please wait in your office for a moment," she replied. As Thomas headed to his office, Miss Hutton took charge of the situation, but something felt off. She almost overlooked the warning call she received from David. This was the first time David had reached out since leaving the company, and his tone was laced with dis
CHAPTER 342
Jack suddenly spoke up, his tone very serious.Ava met his gaze and instinctively felt that something was off."Dad, I'm not angry. I was just giving him a little push. You didn't take that seriously, did you?"Solara snorted at this."I knew this girl would defend him. What future does he really have?" Jack fell silent.This time, Ava decided to keep quiet and avoid arguing, not wanting to give her dad any more ammunition. His focus was definitely different from her mom's, and he might actually notice something."We need to come up with a plan regardingyour grandfather's situation. If possible, let's bring Michael Holmes in for another meeting. That should clear things up," Jack said.Ava could tell at the dinner table that her grandfather was quite fixated on David. Considering what Uriel had said, it really could be about that piece of land."Mom, just a heads-up, please don't keep linking Mr. David to Grandpa. Let him handle it on his own," Ava suggested.After all, Thomas was th
CHAPTER 341
Harry watched as Lucas approached him, wondering if this big shot was coming over to represent the general manager's stance. It wouldn't be good if he were really standing on that side."Ms. Johnson, is the vice president you're looking for in there?"Harry quickly stood up to greet Lucas, who waved him off, signaling that he didn't need to be so nervous."Just carry on with your work. I'll go chat with your vice president. I won't take up too much of her time."As he watched her walk away, Harry thought she seemed quite easygoing. He knocked on the door lightly. Ava had intentionally left thedoor open, curious to see who was coming in. She half-hoped it was Lucas himself."Ms. Johnson, you're here! Please, have a seat. Has the contract been confirmed?There shouldn't be any issues, right?"Ava didn't care about her visitor's purpose; she just wanted to get her own business sorted out first. As long as everything was fine, any mention of problems would just be stirring up trouble. Lu
CHAPTER 340
Harry walked out of the office with his head hanging low. It was hard to explain the situation; after all, he was just a small fry. Did the general manager really care about his opinion?His bad luck was that he couldn't confront Ava directly, so all the frustration ended up directed at him. He messed up a bit and brought the boss into it, but he hadn't even gotten Ava's approval yet.Knock, knock. Ava looked up at him, and it was clear that things didn't look good."Why didn't he sign? Is it because the general manager is upset that I didn't show up?"Harry grimaced and nodded in response."Vice President, you know how it is. He told me he can't sign off on it yet. He said he needs to follow the proper protocol and first clear it with Ms. Johnson." Ava let out a small laugh. The general manager was getting more creative with his excuses. It was obvious he just didn't like her and was trying to throw more obstacles in her way.But at that moment, Lucas didn't seem like much of a chal
