CHAPTER 54
Wasn’t their boss Ava’s husband? Ava’s words were really strange. Ava was just as confused; she had no idea what was going on. All she could do was ask, "Could you give me your boss's contact information? I want to thank him for helping my assisting my husband in saving me." Ms. Hutton found it odd. Didn't Ava have Mr. Brown's contact info? But she agreed, saying casually, "Of course." Ms. Hutton pulled out her phone and quickly called out Thomas's number. Ava hesitated, her grip on the phone tightening as her hand turned slightly pale. But she steeled herself and dialed the number. As the ringtone filled her ears. At that moment, Thomas's phone suddenly rang. He reached into his pocket and pulled out the other phone he usually used as Mr. Brown. When he saw the number, his eyes widened in disbelief. No way, Ava had never known this number. What was going on? He had never used this phone number to call Ava before so how did she get it? Only David Torres, Poppy Hutton, and Lawren
CHAPTER 53
___Ava’s Office___ Ava arrived at the office early, only to sense a heavy atmosphere. Everyone seemed to be glancing her way, whispering among themselves. It wasn't until James Cox led the meeting that Ava realized something had happened at the company. "Have you heard? Mr. Luis got fired," someone said. "What? How could he get fired? He's been with the company for over a decade! What was the reason?" another employee replied, shocked. "You haven't heard? Just a few days ago, he crossed paths with a big shot at the Bayrock Club. That big shot made sure he disappeared from Lake City, and the company didn't dare keep him around, so they let him go. If they had tried to hold onto him, the consequences would have been dire. That big shot warned that anyone who tried to keep Luis and even employ him would be in serious trouble, bankruptcy was on the line." "Wow, that's intense! Who is this big shot? I want to know more! Spill the details!" the employees eagerly chimed in, their curio
CHAPTER 52
"No way! I won't come back without a good reason!" Andrew was furious. He looked up and caught Thomas's amused gaze, which only fueled his anger. He shot back defiantly, while Mr. Hughes felt a headache coming on from his son's attitude. "Do you know who's behind the boss of the investment company? Lawrence Cobb. He's a notorious man we can't afford to mess with, Although Lawrence claimed to have turned over a new leaf, his connections still loomed large. Who in Lake City would dare to disrespect him?." "Lawrence Cobb? Who cares who he is? Does he have a stronger background than ours? Dad, this situation has to be resolved." "They say it's tough dealing with little fools, and someone like Lawrence is best left alone." Mr. Hughes let out a deep sigh, feeling a bit exasperated with his son's rebellious behavior. Andrew hung up the phone, feeling gloomy. As he turned around, he was met with Mrs. Solara's eager gaze. She rushed over, her eyes sparkling with anticipation. "So, wh
CHAPTER 51
Thomas said casually, "It's not a big issue. I just wanted to ask if you know the owner of the Major Investment Company." Hearing this, Lawrence's heart sank. He suddenly had a bad feeling and instinctively glanced at Lawson, who was standing nearby. What did Mr. Brown want with him? Could it be that this brat got himself into trouble? "I know him, I know him, Mr. Brown. I'll have him visit you right away. How does that sound?" Lawrence quickly replied, shooting a fierce glare at Lawson. Lawson was confused by the sudden tension. He had no idea why Lawrence was so upset with him, and he shivered slightly, becoming even more humble in his demeanor. "It's not a big deal. He cashed out a property belonging to my mother-in-law, and I just want him to return it," Thomas explained. Lawrence was taken aback by this revelation. "Don't worry, Mr. Brown. I'll make sure he sees you right away." After hanging up the phone, Lawrence wasted no time and stormed over to Lawson, kicking him hard
CHAPTER 50
As Solara spoke, she looked pleadingly at Andrew. After all, her mistake could jeopardize her and her husband's future. If they couldn't find their boss, wouldn't that mean she'd never get her money back?After listening to her, Andrew began to understand that these elderly folks had been scammed, and this was a problem he couldn't easily solve. He pondered for a moment and, catching a glimpse of Thomas's indifferent gaze, felt a surge of frustration. He took a deep breath and replied, "Don't worry, Aunt Solara. I'll help you sort this out!"Upon hearing Andrew’s promise, Solara's face lit up with joy. "I knew you'd have a way, Andrew!"Seeing Andrew’s confidence, others chimed in,"Andrew, I have a good relationship with your Aunty too. Can you help me find a way to get my money back as well?""And me! I've always supported you and Ava being together!"Hearing their words, Andrew's mood brightened. Feeling the weight of their expectations, he beamed and declared, "You can all rest as
CHAPTER 49
But all she could see was a blurry figure, making it impossible to discern any features. Zia couldn't help but complain, "What is this? I can't even see their face.""This situation was handled by PR, and I barely managed to download this video from the internet," her friend said, clearly annoyed. Zia was even more surprised. She took a closer look at the video and noticed that the silhouette resembled someone she knew. But she quickly shook her head. Thomas was just a loser who had borrowed money from her good friend before. There was no way he could be this kind of wealthy person. No matter how she thought about it, it seemed impossible. She must be overthinking it.Still, Zia was intrigued by this mysterious man.After Thomas and Ava returned home, Ava covered the sleeping Emma with a blanket. When she stepped out, she saw Thomas standing by the window. After a moment of hesitation, she walked over to him. Hearing her approach, Thomas turned around and looked at Ava with surprise.
