Chapter 686

Penulis: Eli Sole
At that moment, Sean stood outside the Jenkins estate. He was pale and visibly weak, attracting the curious stares of the neighbors.

He had slipped out of the hospital early that morning, determined to see Kiera no matter what. By now, the hospital must have realized he was missing, and his phone was probably being bombarded with calls.

With a sigh, he turned off his phone. Just then, the villa’s door swung open, and Kiera stepped out. Sean’s eyes lit up immediately.

“Kiera! You finally agreed to see me!”

But Kiera stopped at the iron gate, making no move to unlock it. She looked at him through the intricate metal pattern.

“What are you doing here? Didn’t you receive the court notice?”

Sean rushed forward, gripping the iron bars so tightly that his desperate face pressed against them, startling Kiera.

His once sharp, confident features were now shadowed by a sickly, defeated look. His face was pale, his cheeks sunken, and his eyes burned with desperation. Even the muscles of his

  • The CEO’s Obsession: Layla, You’re Not Allowed to Die   Chapter 714

    As online buzz continued to intensify, Perry Corporation’s internal selection process finally reached its most critical moment.After counting the votes, Simon had secured support from more than half of the employees—an overwhelming lead, far ahead of the other two candidates.Naturally, the other two candidates were clearly unhappy.“There’s got to be something wrong with the voting system! How could he possibly have that many votes?”“He totally gamed the system! He only focused on employee benefits because he knew the vote was today! In Perry Corporation’s current situation, what’s the point of focusing inward?”“Exactly! The company’s already hit rock bottom. This is the time we need unity and real solutions. He didn’t offer a single plan to help the company, just tried to win over the staff. How can someone like that be a leader?”“Enough,” Mr. Zane snapped, slamming his cane against the floor. “The board’s votes haven’t even been announced yet. What’s the rush?”The room f

    “You’re the one being naive.”Sean’s voice was cold. “The company is about to fall into the hands of outsiders, and you’re still busy picking fights within the family.”“So what if the new CEO doesn’t have the Perry name?” Felix smirked. “You’re just bitter because your guy’s going to lose.”“It’s not over yet. No one knows who’ll win.”With that, Sean turned his eyes back to the stage, clearly signaling that the conversation was over.Felix followed his gaze to Simon, his expression turning even more contemptuous. “A backwoods bumpkin thinks he can be CEO? What a joke,” he scoffed.*While the internal selection at Perry Corporation continued smoothly, the PR department had already edited and uploaded Sean’s public apology to the company’s official social media account.Within minutes, it exploded with online discussion.“Look who finally crawled out of his shell. I thought he died in there.”“That crying performance was ridiculous. The real victim never even played the symp

    For a full twenty minutes, Sean gave a deeply emotional apology for his cheating scandal. At one point, tears streamed down his face, and he choked up so badly he could barely continue.“I made a terrible mistake that brought shame to the entire company,” he said, his voice weak. “These past few weeks in the hospital, I’ve spent every day drowning in regret. I keep thinking about my grandfather’s words.“If I had truly taken his teachings to heart, I never would’ve strayed so far or ended up in this position. Everything that’s happened is a consequence of my own actions.“I hope the three candidates can learn from my mistakes. When you’re in a position of power, you must be even more cautious in your words and actions. Always put the company first. Never forget why you started.”When he finished, Sean bowed deeply to the camera and stayed bowed for a long time.Watching the screen, Layla nearly clapped. The performance was that convincing.He had expertly framed the affair as a p

    Layla had so firmly refused Gwen’s request for an interview, yet Gwen still personally took her to the hospital. Layla had never forgotten that.So now, hearing that William had agreed to the interview, she felt a pang of jealousy but at the same time, she let out a quiet breath of relief.“Tomorrow’s the final round of internal selections at Perry Corporation. Are you ready for it?” William asked casually, changing the subject.“What would I even be ready for?”Wrapped in her coat, Layla sat on a camping chair and looked up at the stars scattered across the desert sky. “At this point, it’s not something I can control anymore.”“Perry Corporation needs someone to step up. No matter who it ends up being, at least the company will finally have some stability for a while. Whether they’re the real deal or just pretending to be, they’ll have to prove it eventually.”Hearing the weariness in her voice, William fell silent. His gaze deepened, and for a moment, he hesitated to speak.Th

    Three days later, Gwen arrived at YT Corporation’s headquarters right on schedule. Following the assistant’s lead, she was escorted into the reception room to wait for William.She sat on the sofa with her interview notes clutched tightly in her hand. Without realizing it, her palms were beginning to sweat.“You okay?” the accompanying cameraman asked with concern. “You don’t look so good.”“I’m fine,” Gwen replied, shaking her head. “Probably just didn’t get enough sleep.”Since her last meeting with Chris, she had been buried in research, digging into cases of hostile takeovers from recent years. She had pulled two all-nighters in a row.And on top of that, her formal interview with Xena was scheduled for the day after tomorrow. That meant as soon as today’s interview wrapped, she would have to rush back and finish writing up William’s feature.The thought of another sleepless night made her temples throb.Just then, the door opened.Gwen instinctively looked up and met Willi

    “Why sabotage your own future?”Chris’s eyes lowered slightly as he glanced sideways at Xena. “If you think I’m smart, then you should know that I’m not being irrational.“And from now on, don’t call me your brother. We’re not blood-related. We’re not family.”“Miss Xander,” he added flatly, “sorry for the disturbance just now.”With that, he turned and walked away, his posture rigid, his departure final.Xena stood frozen. Then, as the realization settled, she let out a sharp laugh—mocking and cold.“Fine. So he has some backbone after all. Let’s see how long that righteous act lasts,” she thought.*In the underground parking garage, Chris tore off his tie in frustration as he stepped out of the elevator. In the distance, he spotted Gwen standing near a pillar.He considered pretending not to see her, but she called out crisply, “Mr. Xander!”He had no choice but to stop.Gwen walked up to him with a warm smile. “I was waiting for you.”Chris frowned. “You haven’t left ye
