Lydia spoke with calm determination, her gaze steady and firm.Quincy was a bit surprised. Lydia wasn’t just capable but perceptive too. She had already figured out what he was thinking. Still, while her abilities seemed promising, he couldn’t be certain what her real intentions were. After all, she was hired to be Nash’s new secretary. That meant she would eventually need to work alongside him closely. They couldn’t afford to make any mistakes."Your background doesn’t matter to me," Quincy said slowly, a small smile playing on his lips. "At York Corporation, we value skill above all. If you really have the ability, then handling a simple contract like this should be a breeze, right?"He paused briefly, then added, "Besides, you won’t be going in alone. I’ll be there with you."With Quincy present, even if Lydia struggled, he could step in and take over. Lydia didn’t argue and replied, "Since you’ve arranged everything, I’ll follow your lead."Hunter, Caleb, and Ben were all
Nina had not expected Nash to still have so much stamina at his age.Taking advantage of a brief moment, she quickly pushed him away. "Aren't you worried about missing something important with all those calls you’re ignoring? What if it’s urgent?"Nash smirked and leaned in closer, silencing her with a kiss. "If it’s important, Quincy can handle it. Right now, nothing is more urgent than us."Over on Hunter's side of things, after Nash ignored two of his calls, then turned off his phone entirely. Hunter quickly figured out what was going on. Nash must be preoccupied with someone special, and there was no chance he would be picking up. A real shame, Hunter thought.Quincy, not wanting Hunter to start playing matchmaker, said, "She’s new here, and sure, she’s capable. But I still need to figure out what she’s really here for. Can you just hold off on the matchmaking? Not everyone is like you.""What’s wrong with me?" Hunter replied, unfazed.Caleb chuckled. "Do you really need it s
Lydia lifted her head and said calmly, "If you think that’s the case, then show me the evidence. If you don’t have any, don’t go around making baseless accusations."Quincy didn’t respond. He thought to himself, "Evidence? It’s just a matter of time."Meanwhile, over on Orion's side, the carnival was bustling with people. Orion’s eyes were glued to a stall selling candy floss. "I want the biggest one!" he exclaimed. His face flushed with excitement from all the playing.Pharaoh handed over the money and gently advised Orion to eat slowly as he passed him the candy floss. As Orion took the treat, Pharaoh watched him with a fond smile.Orion took a bite and said, "Grandpa, this is so sweet! You should try some.""Grandpa doesn’t need, you go ahead and eat. If you like it, have more," Pharaoh chuckled. Orion nodded and ate.Just as he was about to take a third bite, his body suddenly stiffened. "Grandpa, I don’t feel well…" Before he could finish his sentence, he collapsed."Orio
After sending the message, the caller stopped laughing and spoke in a cold tone, "Mr. York, have you already forgotten me after I just returned your child? Let’s get to the point. I’ve injected something into your son’s body. If you want to know what it is, bring him to this address." Miss Flores then recited an address, which turned out to be in a residential area. Her carefully crafted plan was about to unfold. After all, she wouldn’t have gone through the trouble of taking Orion only to return him without a reason.Nash memorized the address and warned her, "Don’t try any tricks. You should know who I am. I can crush someone like you with just a flick of my finger.""Mr. York, there’s no need to be so angry. If I dared to return your son, then I’ve already considered what you might do to me. I’m not afraid. At worst, it’s a life for a life."A life for a life? Her life couldn’t compare to his son’s.Nash had been quietly monitoring this situation without alarming Nina to avoid
Miss Flores intentionally gave them the wrong address. Was she afraid they might call the police?Nina stepped out from behind the door with a polite smile, addressing the plump woman, "Sorry to bother you, we’re looking for a friend. Her name is Miss Flores. Do you know her?"The woman thought for a moment before slapping her thigh in realization. "Oh, Miss Flores? Yeah, I know her. She’s upstairs. I heard she bought the whole floor. She’s well-off, but it’s a sad story. Her son passed away."After sharing this, the woman closed the door, leaving them to ponder. Her son had died, and she bought the entire floor, yet she told them it was Unit 501. What was her intention? Was it really just to prevent them from involving the police?Nina and Nash exchanged glances, both sharing the same suspicions.What they didn’t know was that every move they made was being watched by Miss Flores.At that moment, Miss Flores sipped red wine, listening to children’s songs while lovingly gazing
Before Nash could react, Nina lunged at Miss Flores. Her movements were swift as lightning, and she quickly locked her arm around Miss Flores’ neck."Whether we love Orion or not isn’t up for you to judge. But what happens to you next is up to us!"Raising Orion in the entertainment world was supposed to be just a way to nurture his interest in acting. But it had turned into a nightmare, with people like Miss Flores taking advantage of the situation.Miss Flores instinctively struggled, but Nina’s grip was strong, and she couldn’t break free. Furious, Miss Flores shouted, "Do you think capturing me will help Orion? I’m telling you, that poison was custom-made!"What parent doesn’t love their child? Especially in a family like Orion’s, where he was the only child of loving parents from a wealthy background. Miss Flores had counted on this, crafting her plan step by step. But what she hadn’t anticipated was how calm Nina and Nash were in the face of this crisis. Nina kicked Miss
Early in the morning, after the doctor finished his rounds, Orion jumped out of bed, insisting on being discharged. Pharaoh, feeling helpless, had no choice but to call Nina. After getting her approval, they proceeded with the discharge.As they stepped out of the hospital, they were suddenly blocked by a group of reporters. One of them pushed a microphone in front of Orion and bluntly asked, "Orion, you’ve missed a few days of the variety show recording. Is it because you were really sick or just being difficult?"Orion didn't know how to respond and looked up at Pharaoh. Calm and experienced, Pharaoh picked Orion up and faced the reporters with a smile. "Orion had a cold and fever recently, which is why he missed the recording. But don't worry, he's recovering well, and after a couple of days of rest, he'll be back on the show.""Just a cold and fever? Does he really need two more days of rest? And who are you to him? Isn't his mother supposed to be his guardian?" The reporter
"No need," Nash replied coolly. "Since it’s my wife's decision, we’ll handle it her way. Don’t bother asking me for favors. I always follow my wife’s lead."With that, Nash hung up, a cold glint in his eyes. He immediately instructed Quincy to investigate this so-called child star, Orin. The information was quickly sent to his inbox.After reviewing it, a sinister smile played on Nash’s lips as he called Quincy. "Based on what you found, make sure this Orin never has a comeback.""I’m on it."Dealing with a child star was a simple task. Within half an hour, Nash’s phone rang again, but he ignored it and turned on the TV instead. The screen showed the breaking news. Orin’s guardian had been arrested for illegal contracts, and his entire management company was under investigation.The caller must have been desperate, but there was nothing they could do now.When Nina heard about it from the bodyguards, she rushed home, threw her arms around Nash, and planted a big kiss on him."
