"Ms. Fordham, the shareholders' voting is today. You shouldn't be here. "If you want to wait for Mr. Miller, I suggest you wait at the VIP guest room."Ethan hid her very well all these years.

Darrell had done everything in his power to gain favor from the majority of the shareholders. Thus, Ethan should be the losing party.But how could this be?Darrell requested to know the names of the voters only to realize that the people he bribed, especially those who held a lot of shares, were still siding with Ethan.Even those who swore that they would support Darrell sided with Ethan!Some of them even transferred their shares to Olivia without Darrell's knowledge.Now, she possessed ten percent of the shares!The effort he put in for years had gone down the drain.It was a huge blow to him.

Ethan explained the whole story to Olivia in his office.In fact, he had long known that Darrell was getting in touch with his men. Ethan played along with it by asking his subordinates to betray him in order to earn Darrell's trust.Darrell fell right into Ethan's trap, and Ethan was able to root out the rats in the meantime.Olivia was gaping the whole time. Two days ago, she came across a content regarding the business scenarios in real life.But the description was nothing compared to this. She thought, "Shouldn't it be like the boss asks me to remove the cable in the competitor's building or use black magic to ruin their business development?"Ethan grazed her nose. "You're drooling.""I mean, you can tell me more about your studd. Otherwise, I'll feel like I'm a good-for-nothing."Her adorable expression made him chuckle. "I don't really wanna drag you into this.""Since we've averted the company crisis, what about Mara's case? Kelvin and Brent are still detained. I heard the Fi

In an underground garage, Darrell stood there with a stormy expression. His phone was called by a virtual number. He picked up and said coldly, "If you want to make fun of me. I suggest you keep it to yourself." "I'm calling to offer you a job." "Oh?""I know you have spent a lot of money over the years. I have a billion-dollar job. Interested?""Tell me about it." The man over the phone said slowly, "I'll give you a billion dollars if you kill Olivia Fordham for me."In the CEO's office, Olivia turned to look at the man. "What is it? Do we have a new lead?""No leads on the person, yet. But it's about time we end this. Do you want to come along and watch the show?"Olivia blinked and asked, "Can I really?""Of course. They are the ones that should apologize, not you."Ethan finished dealing with work and personally drove Olivia to the beach.The sun was setting, and Olivia could make out the horizon.

When he rejected her, Kayla spent her days wallowing in sadness. She even did many extreme things. Thinking about it, Kayla felt like she had been a joke all along.
