CHAPTER 360
"How about this? I'll call my colleague to check the door over there. You two can wait down here for the result." Even though he said this, there was no way he could let the two of them inside. He would definitely send someone from another area to take a look. With that thought in mind, he picked up the intercom."Security at the entrance calling, security at the entrance calling."The static crackled through the device, but the other side remained silent. The anxiety was palpable, and sweat began to bead on Ethan Duncan and his companion. Thiswas a rare opportunity for them."This can't be delayed. Why don't you go in and call out? We'll stay here at the door." The security guard considered this suggestion. He looked at the two of them and felt a bit uneasy. If he let them in directly, it could lead to trouble.Noticing the guard's hesitation, Philip stepped out of the small security booth."This really isn't good. You should go check as soon as possible." After hesitating for a mom

“I understand the reasoning, but could you give me a specific timeline? Knowing whenI can expect something to make waiting hereA bit more bearable," he said, trying to mask his frustration.The Secretary pondered for a moment. How could she know when these two powerful figures would settle their differences? After careful consideration, she thought it should be resolved before the shareholders' meeting."About a month and a half, give or take.There will be an important meeting comingup that requires both of them to attend, and before that, there should be a clear outcome."The thought of spending a month and a half in such a confined space did not sit well with him, but he had no choice. If he could secure his freedom after that time, it would all be worth the wait."So, does that mean I'll be free again in a month and a half? I would be very grateful for your boss's help," he replied, trying to sound hopeful.What was with that bargaining tone? He had no leverage to persuade his
CHAPTER 358
Thomas shifted his gaze to Philip."If what you're saying is true, then things might be easier than we thought. But I can't shake the feeling that Lucas isn't that foolish."After all, Lucas must know about Philip. It's hard to believe that he would let himself be discovered just two days later."Boss, before we met, no one could guarantee this was the case, but it's definitely the most suspicious location," Philip replied. Thomas nodded thoughtfully; there was no doubt about Philip’s skills."Do you have any other suspicious locations? If so, let's hear them all."If they were going to this place to catch someone, they had to be careful. One outing would surely alert Lucas, and that would make it nearly impossible to have another chance."There are a few more, but if we go to all of them, it could get a bit tricky," Lawrence said, knowing that some locations were sensitive areas where they couldn't bring the team. Thomas glanced at the clock; there was still a little over two weeks
CHAPTER 357
"Ava, do you think your mom is stupid? What can you do with that little money? What can Thomas do with it? Maybe you can scrape together enough to buy a car or even a house, but it's definitely your grandpa's money you're using."Ava knew that not revealing her true identity wouldn't explain the money situation."Mom, I really didn't mean to argue with you, but I'm telling you the truth. There are some things I can't talk about right now, but I promise I'll explain later.""Whatever you have to say, you can say it now. I absolutely don't believe you." Looking at her mother's attitude, Ava wondered whether it mattered whether she believed her."Fine, I'll tell you this: if you really want to find a way to get your own money without touching that cash, then I'll give you credit for being capable. But you have to take me to see these things later. I need to know where your money is going." What she really wanted to say was that she had to meet Thomas and see howhe felt about all this. S

"You just focus on your work, and I'll support you completely. But remember, if anything comes up-especially complicated matters like Gavin and Iris-don't forget to give me a heads-up."Seeing Ava's serious expression, Thomas understood that she was a bit worried about their different social standings. She feared that such a significant gap might create challenges for their families and marriage.However, Lawrence was confident that Ava’s commitment to him would never waver."Don't worry, I'll definitely keep you in the loop. If there's ever something I don't tell you, it's only because I don't want you to worry about it. I'll try my best to be open with you from now on." Ava nodded, satisfied that her request had been met. They both decided to get some rest quickly. The next morning, Ava headed to the office bright and early.Recently, Lucas had been completely absent from the company."Mrs. Ava, it seems like the progress on our project is a bit slow. The funding from the investors
CHAPTER 355
Lawrence wasn't very good at comforting people; she often stumbled over her words in these situations. She knew that Philip had a somewhat tragic background, and some things were better left unsaid."Lawrence, I think it would be better if we just charged in there with a group," Philip suggested, trying to steer the conversation in a more straightforward direction. Philip was well aware of the difficulties others faced, and after spending time with Lawrence, he came to understand her personality. He knew that discussing this topic would only lead to awkwardness, so he decided to revert to their previous discussion."It is a bit tricky. I'm not sure if we can rush in without consulting the boss first, especially since Lucas's situation is a bit unique," Lawrence replied. Philip nodded in agreement."Honestly, I don't really understand why Lucas is targeting the boss like this. She could just stay in the States and avoid all this trouble," he mused. Throughout this whole situation, Phil
