CHAPTER 385
After wandering around for about ten minutes, Miss Hutton began to feel that something was off. The entire company was unusually quiet. Moreover, the design of the office was uniquely distinctive. While Miss Hutton had seen her fair share of unusual office buildings in her career, this one was particularly rare, resembling more of a personal collection than a corporate space. "I know you put in quite a bit of effort to come here, Miss Hutton," the man said, "so I chose one of our most representative office buildings for you to tour. This also reflects our new direction in real estate development." The implication was clear: they hadn't taken her to the headquarters. Previously, their headquarters had been nearby, but they had mentioned moving without providing a specific address. Now, it seemed they were deliberately keeping things secretive, as if wary of her presence. "You're too kind. This office building is indeed special, and I appreciate you taking the time to come here for t
CHAPTER 384
Right now, the best thing for me is to stay out of trouble and not get involved in these matters, or 1 might end up in a real mess. "Don't give me that! Don't drag me into this. How am I supposed to talk to him? He hasn't been that nice to me anyway." "Why can't you? You're his mother-in-law, after all! Can't you just help me out? Please, I'm begging you to save my son." Mr. Bailey really didn't want to stick around. He thought about leaving, but unfortunately, they didn't have a car and couldn't just walk away. "That's really unfair! Who doesn't have some kind of connection to him? You saw how he acted; aside from caring for my daughter, he seems to hate us both." That wasn't entirely wrong. Thomas had just aimed at everyone, including Mr.Bailey, and it was clear he didn't like him. But what could they do now? This group was clearly in Thomas's crosshairs, and it was obvious they were outmatched. They needed to find a way to get information from the tree, which seemed like the
CHAPTER 383
"You don't need me to remind you of all the stupid things you've done. Let's just talk about the latest one. You went to the tax office today and spent a ton of money, but do you think it was worth it? What do you think they would do if I didn't cooperate?""Just as I thought, it's you." Robison was the calmest among them. Thomas shook his head slightly."This is exactly what I mean. You just don't know when to stop. You lost a leg and still act so clueless. Maybe if all your limbs were broken, you'd finally understand what manners and boundaries really mean." Thomas words were blunt, and everyone suddenly realized that it wasn't an attack that had cost Robison his leg; it was Thomas who had done this to him. Robison's mother, still trying to grasp the situation, became furious upon hearing that Thomas had crippled her son."It's you! How could you be so cruel as to break my son's leg?"Robison watched his mother's outrage and firmly held her down to keep her seated."Mom, getting ang
CHAPTER 382
"Thomas, what exactly do you want? Can't we just clear things up with them?"Thomas looked at Ava, signaling her to stay calm. It wasn't going to be that easy with this group of people. Solara couldn't hold back any longer. If they agreed to even a little, it would mean a million dollars, and in just ten minutes, they could be looking at ten million."Let me go first. As your mother-in-law, I was the one who gave the nod when you two got married. Doesn't that count as helping you?"Her words drew a collective scoff from the relatives. How could she even say that?Back then, she had opposed the marriage fiercely, looking down on Thomas because he had no money. She had hoped her daughter would marry a wealthy guy and even tried to meddle after the wedding.And now, she had the nerve to claim she helped Thomas?But Thomas didn't deny it. Instead, he handed her a check from his pocket."Alright, I can agree with that." This opening remark ignited the entire atmosphere, but surprisingly, i
CHAPTER 381
"Thank you all for waiting so long; it's truly our fault. We hit a bit of traffic on the way."With just a few casual words, he exuded the confidence of someone in charge, as if he were the host of the gathering. His tone sparked some discontent among the guests, leading to a few cold huffs, but an intense glare from the old man quickly silenced them.'It's no problem at all. After all, you're the star of the show today, so we should be the ones waiting," the old man said, his tone surprisingly accommodating. The others, still unaware of the situation, were taken aback. When did their elder start buttering up Thomas like this? This was certainly not the old man's usual style. Thomas smiled slightly at the comment and walked furtherinside."Since we have so many people here, let's gather around the big round table. It'll be easier to discuss things that way." Thomas demeanor felt different from usual, and Solara couldn't help but notice the variouscomplex expressions on her relatives
CHAPTER 380: A MEETING
Kiara stared at the file on her desk, then looked up at Miss Hutton. The more she looked at the documents, the darker her expression became."You're joking, right?""You want me to handle this case?"Miss Hutton didn't even look up. She calmly flipped through another file."Do I look like I'm joking?""This came directly from the boss." Kiara almost laughed."So now I'm being used for family matters too?""I'm the deputy head of the legal department, not a babysitter." Miss Hutton finally raised her head. "The shareholders' meeting is coming soon." "The boss wants you occupied for now.""You won't need to appear in court.""And you don't even have to win."That somehow made Kiara feel even worse.She leaned back in her chair."Can you tell the boss something for me?""Our department actually has real work to do." "We can't spend every day dealing with his relatives." Miss Hutton simply slid a business card across the table."They've already started making contact.""You'll probably ge
