"No need to thank me," Solomon said as he looked at Robin. "Just get John to give me the CEO position at Henderson Group."Robin kept his tone polite. "You must be joking. If a single word from me could do that, I would've asked the boss for a huge payout ages ago and gone home to retire.""Then you can tell me about all the mistakes John's made over the years," Solomon said."Mr. Henderson doesn't make mistakes," Robin replied.Solomon chuckled. "I'll pay you double. Come work for me.""Sure," Robin said.Solomon was momentarily caught off guard. A hint of surprise crossed his eyes. He clearly had not expected that answer.Before Solomon could think it through, Robin finished the rest. "Anyone in Henderson Group can be assigned wherever the CEO wants. You're treating me very well by giving me a chance to get double pay for doing the same work."Solomon laughed softly. Robin really was something.Sierra watched Solomon's car drive away. Even after it disappeared from view,

"Kenneth!" Danny shouted at Kenneth, furious.Kenneth kept a cold look on his face, his attitude perfectly clear. Bringing up the past had stirred up his emotions too. He walked to the door, pulled it open, and told them to leave. "Please."The moment he said it, he saw Sierra standing outside. At the same time, Danny and Agnes walked over as well, and their eyes met.Danny turned all his anger on Sierra. "You've still got the nerve to come here!"Sierra stayed perfectly calm. "If you two can be here, why can't I?""I really don't know what John ever saw in you," Danny snapped."Viciousness and heartlessness." Sierra calmly threw the words back at him without the slightest change in expression. "Or maybe coldness and greed."Kenneth froze as his mind went blank for a few seconds. Was this really Sierra?"I told you she was up to no good. Now you've heard it for yourself!" Agnes seized the chance and started making a scene again.Danny gave Sierra a hard stare and threw out t

That kind of situation was quite common back then, but Danny simply couldn't handle losing."After that, Danny started holding a grudge against Albion's family," Kenneth said softly. "At first, he made it obvious. Once John got a little older, Danny saw his value and understood his temperament, so he started hiding that hostility. In the end, he found a chance to wipe out Albion's whole family."It happened when John was sixteen.Danny had never let go of what happened back then. On the surface, he acted as if he had moved on. In truth, he remembered every bit of humiliation.John knew his parents had a problem with Albion's family, but he only thought Danny was still bitter about losing that business deal to Albion's father. He kept trying to calm things between them and hoped Danny would finally let it go. Danny agreed on the surface and promised he would drop it as long as John did two things for him."What two things?" Sierra asked."First of all, he had to finish the diffi

"What?" Kenneth blinked as he looked at Sierra."If I want to stab him, you're going to hand me the knife," Sierra said.Kenneth stared at her for a long time. Thinking of her gentle nature, he agreed without hesitation. "No problem."Sierra gave a slight nod, agreeing to it.A moment later, the two of them walked out of the lounge in the private ward.Kenneth glanced at John on the bed. He pressed his lips before saying carefully, "I'll head out for now. If anything comes up, call Robin or me anytime.""Alright," Sierra replied.Kenneth gave her a quiet nod and walked out.Marcus and Robin were both standing outside the room. The second they saw Kenneth come out, they spoke almost at the same time."How did it go?" Robin asked."How is Ms. Bell?" Marcus asked."It went alright." Kenneth answered honestly, then looked at Marcus. "For now, your boss needs to take care of something with Robin's boss. We'll arrange a place for you to stay during this time. Once everything is se

Sierra blinked at Marcus's statement, while he simply gave a slight nod. She pouted, but in the end, she said nothing. Maybe leaving that kind of impression was not a bad thing if it kept everything cleanly divided."Ten seconds," Marcus said as he looked at Kenneth."First, let me ask what this employment contract actually requires me to do." Kenneth did not want to get tricked, so he asked ahead of time. "You're not going to pay me fifteen hundred and expect a million dollars' worth of work, are you?"Marcus looked at Sierra, and the meaning was obvious. She had the final say."It won't involve any real work. It's just protection for both sides." Sierra spoke calmly and reasonably. "If John causes me trouble next year, you have to stand by my side and handle it for me.""He won't cause you any trouble," Kenneth said.John wanted nothing more than to get back together with her right now. There was no way he would deliberately cause trouble for her.Even stupidity had its limi
