Roderick's breath ceased immediately as the gorgeous woman flirted with him publicly. He couldn't understand how the Ice Queen could be so comfortable acting in such a manner in public.

Given how seductively the lady had interacted with him in the past, Roderick already knew her to be a shameless flirt. But this time, he didn’t even know what to call her, as he never expected her to be unconcerned about people's gossip.

"It's fine, Miss Bolton," Roderick managed to say under his tightened breath as he gently took the beautiful palm away from his chest.

Kate's alluring eyes were on Roderick when he spoke.

"Miss Bolton, I urge you to keep things professional this time. If not for anything else, at least to make me comfortable."

Kate giggled as she gave Roderick a sultry gaze and said, "If that's what you want, it's no problem."

Then, she slowly released her arm from Roderick's. "I guess we're good now?" she asked playfully as she got up from her seat.

Roderick let out a breath of relief

I already told her I would give her feedback on our investigation. And if I never call her, I think she should know her hundred million worth of goods are gone. After all, I told her all the goods would be disposed of by the end of today.""So, she can never come back for the goods."The man on the other end burst into crazy laughter before he commented, "Linus, I must say, you seem crazier than I am.""I thought I was cruel; I never knew there were le

    After Christina finally caught up with them outside, Kate was surprised by her secretary's sudden change of mind.She had been enthusiastic about the idea just moments ago. Now, she had just changed her mind.Kate felt quite suspicious about the look on her face and was about to decline, thinking she must have some dumb tricks up her sleeves.However, before she could refuse, Roderick, who had been quiet since the argument started, spoke up."It's no trouble. If she wants to go along with us, then allow her."Roderick knew what was on Christina's mind at that moment, and he didn't want to break her heart by denying her the chance to witness the turnaround of what she had planned.Even though it didn't seem like a good idea to Kate, she couldn't disagree with Roderick. If he said there was no problem with it, then so be it.Turning away from Christina, Kate asked Roderick, "Mr. Holmes, is there anything you will need before we leave?"Roderick squinted slightly before answering, "We do

    Early the next morning, Kate and Roderick were set to leave for the Quality Control Agency's office when Christina suddenly appeared.She was surprised to see Kate and Roderick look so determined. It was more like they were going out.She wondered where they could be heading. Then, Christina stared at Roderick disdainfully before shifting a calm gaze to her boss and asking, "Miss Bolton, I have come to ask about our plan for the day. Most especially, we haven't received any report from Linus until now."Kate answered her right away. "It's alright, Christie. Concerning the trouble we have on the ground, Mr. Holmes said he could handle it. So, we are both heading to the agency's office now."What?!Christina's head nearly exploded in disgust as her boss mentioned that."Roderick Holmes? How is it possible for him to handle such a critical issue like this?" Christina asked, contempt on her face.She couldn't imagine that a matter beyond both her and her boss's capabilities could be handl

    Kate and Christina settled in the car. For almost twenty minutes, they were both in deep silence.They were both lost in thought, trying to find a solution to the problem at hand.The source of this problem stemmed from the trust they had in people.Isn't it really sad that the people they trusted with a hundred million dollars' worth of goods betrayed them?Christina finally turned to her boss and said, "Miss Bolton, I can still vouch for Mr. Hill; he's very innocent in this matter. There's no way he would be involved in it or appear at the agency's office."Kate remained silent as Christina continued, "Moreover, the Hill Company is worth well beyond billions. Why would Mr. Hill involve himself in such a dirty game just for a mere hundred million dollars?"The amiable CEO of Bolton Group slowly sat upright and heaved a sigh. "You are right, Christie. But Mr. Hill said earlier that nobody can be trusted."Christina's eyes lit up slightly, and she asked, "Do you mean Mr. Hill has somet

    'What nonsense is this man saying?!' Alex screamed inwardly as rage overtook him.Back in his company, when Frey had come to get the goods, he was very polite and reasonable. How could he become so rude and unreasonable all of a sudden?The only reason Alex asked Linus to bring him forward was to clear his name.Unfortunately, this man here was only making matters worse.Even though Frey didn't give a direct answer, what he said amounted to nothing other than pointing at Alex as the mastermind behind the fake products.This confused Christina and her boss.Alex had always been known as a man of integrity and trust. What could have really made him indulge in such a dirty trick?Kate noticed the rage on Alex's face as he had turned completely silent. It was obvious that Frey's response had rendered the powerful businessman speechless.Then, Kate said to Frey, "Don't you think your response to Mr. Hill was quite rude? Besides, are you sure of your claim? Are you sure you're not making a

    Alex couldn't understand why Linus was making this difficult. What was there for him to bring out the importer just to ask a few questions to clear his name from the mess?Even though Alex's anger had already grown wild in his head at this moment, he didn't want to react.Instead, he asked Linus, "Since when do you have such a law? Do you think I'm ignorant about your laws?"Linus quickly waved his hands and said, "I never said that, Mr. Hill. Just that the situation on the ground was so serious that the new law had to be implemented.""Oh, wow! I see. Could you please explain why this law was implemented?" Alex was only hiding his anger behind the question."It's just to protect our investigation, Mr. Hill. The organization is trying to prevent the culprits from being coerced into agreeing to a forced claim, which would distort our investigation from the beginning."Alex wanted to pretend he didn’t understand what Linus was trying to insinuate, but he couldn’t keep it to himself."Ar
