Xoan did not respond, using his uninjured hand to take out a notebook and start working instead.Seeing as he was uninterested, Yaslyn set down the apple and took out her laptop, intending to investigate the mastermind behind the attack.Based on the thugs' facial features, she looked up their criminal organization, then checked their recent call and transaction records. All clues pointed to the Linton Group."Xoan, do you know who's behind the attack?" Yaslyn asked.Xoan's fingers lightly tapped the keyboard as he slowly replied, "The Linton Group."Surprise flashed in Yaslyn's eyes. "How did you know?""Recently, the Warren Group's shares have been soaring. Our development in the jewelry industry is growing, nearly monopolizing the low-end market and approaching the high-end market. Who do you think is most worried right now?" Xoan's mellow voice was unhurried. Glancing at the calm and unruffled Xoan, Yaslyn marveled at his powerful logic. However, she also had another questi

Yaslyn spoke slowly, "Mr. Xenos, if I'm not mistaken, you must be wondering why the loyal colleagues you bought over didn't speak up against Mr. Warren as you expected, right?"York was confused. "Yaslyn, what do you mean by that?"Yaslyn laughed coldly. "Mr. Xenos, don't pretend you don't understand what I mean."Flustered, York began speaking recklessly. "Yaslyn, don't spout nonsense!""Why don't we take a look at this evidence?"Yaslyn took out the documents and photos from a file folder and slammed them on the table.The documents were fanned out, revealing photo after photo of York entering the finance department and evidence of his sabotage."Do you have anything else to say, Mr. Xenos?"York's face turned pale. Seeing the evidence, fear gradually spread through him."These are fabricated! I would never do anything to harm the company. Never!"York suddenly yelled, "You must've staged this whole act to drive me out of the company! You'll face the consequences!"Yaslyn

Chapter 45 A Bet"Fire!"Someone shouted, and the room erupted into chaos as everyone rushed for the exit.The office was on the eighth floor, so the elevators were obviously out of the question. They discovered that the fire had reached the fourth floor as they ran downstairs. Thick smoke blocked the view of the stairwell, and the choking fumes were unbearable.The group had no choice but to go back.Yaslyn did not follow the others downstairs. Turning back, she saw Xoan standing beside her, holding two towels dampened with water."Use these, so you don't inhale the smoke."Yaslyn dialed the emergency line on her phone. Upon seeing the panicked crowd, she raised her voice."Everyone, don't panic! Getting anxious is useless, and it could put you in danger. If you don't want to get hurt, listen to me."The group looked up in fear but chose to trust Yaslyn's words."Everyone, get a towel or cloth. Wet them before covering your nose and mouth. Also, get yourselves as wet as possible to av

The man looked around twenty years old, with rugged features and eyes brimming with warmth."What's your name?"Rowan Yackley smiled gently. "You can call me Mr. Yackley."Yaslyn asked solemnly, "Why do you want to come along?""Like you, I have flight experience. Two would fare better than one.Yaslyn agreed, sensing his honesty.The pilots were extremely anxious. As newly appointed crew with little experience, they were about to break down.The pilot frowned when he saw Rowan and Yaslyn entering the cockpit."What are you youngsters doing here?" he scolded, "This is no place for you to be. Get back to your seats!"Yaslyn stepped forward patiently. "Captain, I have flight experience. May I try maneuvering the plane?""You? You're too young! Get back to your seat!""How can you determine I'm incapable without letting me try? The plane is clearly malfunctioning and about to crash. Are you willing to jeopardize everyone's lives?"Yaslyn had no patience to convince him politel

'York?'Xoan and Yaslyn looked at each other, instantly understanding who was behind it."I didn't expect York to do this. Does he really think I wouldn't dare to make a move against him?"Yaslyn angrily clenched her teeth. If it were not for Xoan, she probably would have been hurt by the thug."Can I leave now?"The thug slowly stood up, wanting to slip away. However, Xoan kicked him in the knee, making him fall again.Xoan hissed, "You attempted rape. You will be held accountable for your actions."The man cried, "Hey! I've already told you who's behind this. Just let me go!"Yaslyn glared at him. "Say one more word, and it won't be as simple as just jail time."The man was frightened and shut his mouth.Yaslyn called the police to take the thug to the station. Then, she tidied up, preparing to deal with York after the meeting.Xoan and Yaslyn met in a private room on the hotel's first floor. When Yaslyn walked in, she saw a familiar man standing across from her.Rowan sm
