"I've been targeted by some people recently who want to kill me. I don't know who these people are, but they are armed," Hesper said. A silent understanding passed between the police officers as they exchanged glances. Even minor offenses were considered serious in a small city like Salt City, so they knew that the magnitude of this case required assistance from Emperion."Alright, Ms. Rivera, we have noted down your situation," one of the officers assured her. Hesper nodded and had Sylvie see off the police. Turning to Zaylour, she said, "Xander and the others will probably take some time to regain consciousness. Now that we've captured them, we cannot let them escape again.""I didn't expect your medicine to work so well," Zaylour remarked, taking a gulp of water. "Who would have thought that this trip to Salt City would yield such rewards? If Xander wakes up, he'll probably be furious."Hesper pondered silently without responding. She was certain that Xander knew more than the

'That's not the power of the Lanes. That's the power of money,' Zaylour thought. However, regardless of the reason, Hesper instantly made him understand why Freddy was so afraid of her. "So, we'll keep waiting until Freddy has no choice but to compromise?""Of course not," Hesper replied. She paused for a moment, feeling the chill in Salt City as autumn approached. "A few days ago, when I was going through the files, I discovered that although Freddy appears to be the representative of the company, the person who truly holds the key to the company's core technology is his wife.""No wonder he hasn't divorced her yet. Turns out he wants to continue living off her," Zaylour sneered, feeling somewhat disdainful. After a moment, he remembered something. "Xander and the other person have regained consciousness. I just received a message from Sylvie, and I forgot to tell you."Hesper sighed helplessly and shook her head. "Let's go."Little did Hesper know that after she and Zaylour l

Putting Xander aside, Hesper turned around and said, "Freddy's weakness still lies with that woman. Sylvie, have you found out who accompanied Freddy to the hotel that day?""Yes, I did," Sylvie replied as she nodded. "Freddy's situation is quite predictable because the woman in question is Xenia, the younger sister of Zenovia. She was the one who initially clashed with you over Mr. Pisano, remember?"'Xenia?'Truth be told, Hesper had almost forgotten about her. She furrowed her brows slightly. "So, it was Xenia who persuaded Freddy not to cooperate with the Lanes? He's willing to jeopardize the benefit of his entire company for the sake of a woman?""Based on the current information, that seems to be the case," Sylvie replied sternly. "After breaking up with Mr. Pisano, Xenia became Freddy's lover. Freddy has showered her with affection all along, so if she truly wanted to obstruct the cooperation, it's highly likely that Freddy would comply."Hesper was surprised that Freddy wo

"Since Winona is capable of managing a company well, she must be an intelligent woman. By gradually revealing the information to her, she won't remain oblivious," Hesper remarked.Sylvie's efficiency was always commendable, and she quickly found a suitable candidate. However, plans could not keep up with the changes. The next morning, Freddy called Hesper, expressing his agreement to collaborate and mentioning that the person they talked about had also returned.As Hesper listened to the slightly fawning tone in Freddy's voice on the phone, she furrowed her brows. Freddy sensed something amiss and cautiously asked, "Is there anything else, Ms. Lane?"Even though Hesper hoped for a swift conclusion to the collaboration, Freddy's urgency over the phone, insisting on signing the contract that evening, seemed unusual to her. She did not think Xenia's influence over Freddy could dissipate in just a day.Could something have transpired during this brief period to prompt Freddy to change

On the third morning, Hesper decided not to reach out to Freddy but instead went straight to his company. The company was called Stiles & Rismount Tech, a name that once symbolized their union and marriage. However, their relationship was now hanging by a thread."Hello, do you have an appointment?"Hesper took out her business card from her jacket pocket and handed it to the receptionist. After the receptionist glanced at it, her expression changed and she cautiously asked, "Are you here to look for Mr. Stiles, Ms. Lane?" "Nope. I'm here for Mrs. Rismount.""Mrs. Rismount?" The receptionist had not expected that Hesper actually knew who the real person in charge of their company was. Other people always thought it was Freddy, but in reality, it was Winona who took care of their company."Alright, let me call Mrs. Rismount for you." The receptionist nodded and quickly made the call.Hesper nodded, and soon, the receptionist came over and led her upstairs."When Mrs. Rismount h
