Miranda stepped aside to let him in and said evenly, “Come in.”Felix narrowed his eyes with a faint smile, changed into house slippers at the entryway, and walked into the living room. Just then, Gigi came bounding toward him. Felix laughed, crouched down, and rubbed its head. A few strands of dog hair immediately stuck to his expensive custom suit.Gigi circled around him excitedly, rubbing its muzzle against his palm again and again, as if welcoming home the master of the house after a long absence.Of course, Gigi had no way of knowing that this home no longer had a man of the house.Miranda came over with a paper cup of water and handed it to him. Felix didn’t mind in the least. He took it and drank.After finishing the first cup, he held it back out to her. “One more.”Miranda took the cup and went to refill it. When she came back, she saw his phone ringing just as he pulled it out to look at it.Felix declined the call, took the water she handed him, and said, “I need t

On the other end of the line, Helen couldn’t hide the relief in her voice when she heard Hayden asking about what gift he should bring.“Buy something nice, Hayden. Make sure it’s a little upscale. We can’t show up looking careless.”“I’ll pick out some good wine and tea,” Hayden replied.“Good. As long as you go, that’s enough,” Helen said. It was rare for her son to take the initiative to attend the Yates family’s birthday gathering.“Got it,” Hayden said as he hung up. Sera’s face came to mind. Although she hadn’t asked for anything after that night, Hayden still felt a lingering sense of guilt. After all, he had taken her first time. If he didn’t show at least some sincerity now, he really would be no better than a scumbag.*In Xena’s chauffeured SUV, Lily looked at the bruising forming where Xena’s blood had been drawn and winced in sympathy. “Why did they take so many tubes this time? They never took that much before.”Xena didn’t look very good. “There were more tests

Xena wasn’t the kind of woman who would ever bow to fate. If she had agreed to this, then Felix must have given her more than enough in return. It seemed that over the past ten years, he had given her everything: status, standing, and love.Miranda turned off the faucet and slowly dried her hands with a paper towel before stepping back out into the hallway.Just then, she saw someone from the front desk walking over with a man, and her eyes lit up.“Uncle Zion.”Zion had been extremely busy lately, so he and Miranda had not been in touch much. He had just returned from an overseas business trip, and he looked surprised to see her too.“What are you doing here?”Miranda turned to the receptionist. “I’ll take it from here.”Then she said to Zion, “Come with me. We can talk as we walk.”As they walked, Miranda explained everything she had learned about Mia possibly inheriting a rare blood disorder. After hearing her out, Zion asked, “Was Felix the one who told you?”Miranda fro

Felix closed his eyes briefly. When he opened them again, the usual cold steadiness had returned to his gaze. “Give me the details.”“The overseas medical construction project York Corporation invested in has run into serious environmental issues, along with labor disputes. The local government has already stepped in to investigate, and the entire project has been suspended,” Gavin said quickly. “York Corporation wants to meet with you as soon as possible.”York Corporation had already formally become a publicly listed company backed by Gibson Corporation’s investment. Even so, Gibson Corporation hadn’t been directly involved in that specific project. Felix was only one of its shareholders and a member of the board. Now that this crisis had erupted, the other York shareholders were probably too anxious to sit still.“Understood.” Felix’s voice didn’t reveal a single hint of emotion. “I’ll be at York Corporation in an hour. I want everyone responsible there when I arrive.”“Yes, Mr.

Everyone watched him leave. First came a wave of relief. Then their nerves tightened all over again.He wanted a solution by four that afternoon.How were they supposed to come up with one in time?Roger looked especially stricken. He had originally thought he could lean on his status as Felix’s “future father-in-law” and win a little leniency. But just now, he hadn’t even had the courage to meet his future son-in-law’s eyes.He finally understood exactly how Felix handled work: iron-fisted, decisive, and utterly merciless.A little later, a consultant from Gibson Corporation arrived. The moment Roger saw him, he let out a breath of relief. He had known Gibson Corporation wouldn’t just leave him to deal with this alone.Sure enough, Gibson Corporation’s people had a precise system for handling this kind of crisis.The consultant issued one sharp, well-structured instruction after another, each one aimed straight at the heart of the problem. He worked efficiently and without a tr
