CHAPTER 417
"Mrs. Hutton, let's stick to what we agreed on. Please, right this way." David smiled as he escorted her out, but Miss Hutton was left in a state of disbelief. Once the door closed behind the woman, Miss Hutton rushed into Michael's office, her voice trembling with emotion."Boss, how can he blame me for this? It's not my fault at all!"By the end of her outburst, she was practically shouting. Yet, David remained remarkably calm, seemingly waiting for her to collect herself. After a long pause, he finally spoke."Miss Hutton, how long have you been working with me?""I've been at the company for three years, and I've been with you for about two and a half years." David nodded slowly, as if contemplating something important."Three years isn't a short time, but it's not very long either. It's about the right time to analyze things more clearly. You didn't do anything wrong today, but if he insists that you did, you'll have to accept it.""Why should I accept blame when I didn't do anyt
CHAPTER 416
"Miss Hutton, you've been with me for many years. I've watched you grow from an innocent newbie into someone who can command respect," David said, his voice surprisingly warm. After hanging up the phone, he turned to the glass window, while Miss Hutton suddenly realized that tears were streaming down her face. She quickly grabbed a couple of tissues to fix her makeup.To Miss Hutton, David was a unique figure in her life-part teacher, part friend, but mostly like a mentor. She had worked under himfor two years before being reassigned for reasons she still pondered. Reflecting on it now, she suspected it had something to do with Thomas. During that time, she often found herself by David’s side, overhearing many things about the company's inner workings. There was a period when she was young and full of ambition, believing she would soon climb the corporate ladder. However, the reality was harsh and cold, bringing her crashing down to earth. She found herself relying on Lawrence inste
CHAPTER 415
"I chose you for this matter because of your unique position. As for what makes it special, we both know it all too well." Lucas felt a wave of resistance wash over him at those words. Thomas's approach was anything but conventional, often leaving him questioning whether his initial judgment had been clouded. He shouldn't have believed that he could see through someone who had so expertly hidden behind the guise of family.Now that he thought about it, coming to this company had turned him into the one being scrutinized."I've heard about the struggle between you and Lucas. I've talked to her about it, and I want no part in your mess. Yet, both of you refuse to let me go. It's quite ridiculous."Thomas glanced up at him. The suddenness of his statement made Lucas wonder about its true intent. Was he confessing that Lucas had reached out to him privately, or was he trying to emphasize that he genuinely wanted to stay out of it?Regardless of his motivations, Lucas didn't care. What mat
CHAPTER 414
"No way, it has to be his computer, but you can choose the date to put on it." At least he still had a bit of choice left, and Philip didn't hesitate."Let's wait until everything settles down before we start." With that, he closed his email, not wanting to engage in any more conversation. Lucas watched and smiled.This kid was really in a tough spot. He also knew that Thomas had been quite busy lately, and he hesitated for a moment. His relationship with Lawrence wasn't great right now. He used to admire him and wanted him to invest in his technology, but later realized that decision was a bit pointless-useful yet useless, a kind of trouble that was both there and not there.Thomas sat in his office, looking at the documents in his hands, feeling a bit of a headache.He had originally planned for David to go on the trip to the U.S., so he wouldn't have to deal with all this hassle. But he suddenly realized that something seemed off. Lucas had lived in the U.S. for many years, so ther
CHAPTER 413
He glanced at the contents of his inbox, carefully checking his account. It became clear what he needed to investigate, and no wonder they were looking for him. This was almost a detailed account of Lucas's assets. Some hidden accounts weren't even concealed, which showed a surprising level of trust in him. He scrutinized the information, analyzing it closely. The recent transfers seemed a bit rushed, and some accounts were more obvious than others. At most, he could trace the source of the funds, but getting them back without permission was generally quite difficult-wasn't that common knowledge?Why was Lucas fixated on this? He had a gut feeling that there was something unusual about the situation, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.Knock, knock.There was a knock at the door. He instinctively closed the webpage and looked up to see Miss Hutton standing there."Well, well, what a surprise! Miss Hutton, what brings you here?"Miss Hutton paused for a moment at thedoor. It w
CHAPTER 412
The two people next to Lucas Johnson were taken aback by his words, feeling completely out of place. After all, only Lucas would have the guts to say something like that. His department had to work incredibly hard, while the other departments seemed to barely lift a finger. The tech development department was practically on the chopping block, with its responsibilities already handed off to others. If it weren't for Lucas's presence, it might have been eliminated. He was given the title ofmanager, but it was more of a figureheadI position. Instead of calling him "manager," everyone just referred to him as "Mr. Lucas," which felt like an extra privilege.Their department had no business metrics to speak of all year round, and with work being siphoned off, Lucas had spent most of his time just tinkering around in the office.He didn't even have a strict nine-to- five schedule and could come and go as he pleased, yet he still dared to claim he was working hard."I know it's not exactly
