Henry was in a critical situation but tried to stay calm. His mind recalled something important. He glanced to the side and steered his car into an intersection.A loud crash echoed. Regina covered her ears. The limited sport car came to a halt, and Henry gently pulled Regina's hands away. "You can open your eyes now," Henry said.Slowly, Regina opened her eyes. "Did we make it?" She examined her hands and checked the rearview mirror. No serious injuries. "But I heard such a loud crash.""I managed to avoid them, and they collided with each other."Regina looked back. It wasn't very clear, but she saw smoke rising. The accident seemed severe.Henry resumed driving. Regina glanced at him. "How did you know about this route?""I remembered Kevin's directions. He mentioned there might be a path I could take if I got trapped between two cars."Regina paused, surprised by Henry's cleverness. "Turns out Kevin's advice was useful. You should thank him for the help that saved us.""I know, bu
"Mom?" Kevin turned to Regina, who was opening the door. "It's time for you to rest, and what Henry said is right. You shouldn't get any more involved," Regina insisted. "But Mom--" "Your safety is my priority. Henry, let's go out and let Kevin rest." Henry and Regina exited Kevin's room. Henry walked behind Regina, staring at her for a while. "Hey, Regina. I want you to stay at home until I can put those people in jail." "No. I can't stay still at home. Did you consider what Kevin said? I'm sure nothing will happen to me." Henry sighed, "Regina, I think Kevin has a point. You could become their target, and someone working with that family might have a grudge against you." Regina stared sharply at Henry, "What's the benefit of targeting me, unless they're just using me as bait. They won't kill me because of this." Henry sighed, "Regina, do you remember what we talked about yesterday? What if it happens?" Regina remained firm in her thoughts. "It's impossible. Anyway, it's late
Regina listened in silence to the conversation between her father and her secretary. Her heart raced, trying to digest every word they uttered."It's not as simple as that. If we expose both of them as the cause of the case, then we have to let them see the recording, and we will--" "Regina, do you have a habit of eavesdropping?"Mr. Tan looked at Regina, a middle-aged man sensitive enough to realize there was another party who shouldn't be there. Regina was startled, but she tried to remain calm."I wasn't eavesdropping. I needed to talk to Dad, so I waited for him to finish talking with the Secretary."Regina opened the door wider. Mr. Tan spoke coldly, "What do you want by coming into my room?""Dad, I want to introduce my new Assistant." Regina pulled Amelie into Mr. Tan's room."New Assistant? CEO Tan, you already have me; why hire an Assistant just to waste the budget?""She's right; you don't need an Assistant for your light workload. Ask her to leave! If you insist, I won't le
The man stared at Henry's phone screen, his emotions a jumble of uncertainty and concern. "What do you mean you want to sue Mr. Tan? I'm not sure that's possible."Henry frowned, "Why not? I'm certain when you looked through these documents, you found evidence of Mr. Tan's involvement."The man sighed, "Sir, do you know why Mr. Tan, despite being the second son-in-law, ended up owning Grace Corporation and earned such respect? It's because he's notoriously cunning." He tried to dissuade Henry, "There are rumors that Mr. Tan removed the eldest daughter of the Grace family, who should have led the company. But no one has ever been able to legally charge him. Many have tried to bring him down but failed. Sir, it's best you forget this idea."Henry listened intently, "Aren't those just rumors? It's hard to believe Mr. Tan has that much influence.""Mr. Tan has connections and power that are hard to confront. Many who tried to expose his frauds ended up disappearing or dying under mysterio
Regina greeted Henry with a piercing gaze. As Henry loosened his tie, he frowned, "Why are you looking at me like that?""Henry, are you planning something behind my back? You didn't send Amelie just as my assistant and bodyguard, did you?"Henry denied it, "No. I only assigned Amelie to that task. Nothing else."Regina was not satisfied with his answer. "Are you sure? You didn't have her steal company information illegally?"Henry stared at Regina, "What's going on with you? Why are you asking me this? Did Amelie say or do something to harm Grace Enterprises?""No, but—""Then what's your reason for suspecting me and Amelie if she hasn't done anything wrong? Regina, we're in the same boat here. As business partners, if you suffer a loss, I'll be in an even worse position. Stop being suspicious!" Henry said, stepping towards the bathroom.Regina paused, still feeling unsettled. She knew Henry might be cautious.Regina grabbed Henry's phone from the couch. The screen showed a series of
"You can't find the document I'm looking for," Mr. Tan said.The secretary breathed a sigh of relief. "Mr. Tan, I've told you it wasn't me. Someone else must have tried to--"Mr. Tan pulled out a document from the secretary's bag, his expression turning serious. "What's this, huh? Why is this document in your bag?"The secretary fell silent for a moment, her face turning pale. "I don't know how that document got into my bag. I didn't steal anything, Mr. Tan, please believe me!"Mr. Tan angrily threw the secretary's bag, "This is enough evidence! You stole confidential company documents!" He lifted the document he was looking for.The secretary panicked, trying to defend herself, "Mr. Tan, I didn't do this! Someone is trying to frame me!"Mr. Tan stared sharply at the secretary, "Who is trying to frame you? Don't you dare lie to me!"The secretary pointed towards Amelie. "It's her! It's all her doing.""Do you have any proof?" Amelie asked calmly."Why don't we just check the CCTV foot
Henry glanced at Regina with a flat expression. "Alright, I admit it. I'm the one who asked Amelie to get rid of her. Regina, I've told you, if you can't handle their oppression, I will act. I've helped you, shouldn't you be grateful?"Regina smiled bitterly. "Henry, do you think I don't know what game you're playing? You didn't remove the Secretary for me, but for your own benefit.""I don't know where you got this idea from, but what benefit do I get? The Secretary was even useless.""Really?" Regina smiled thinly. "Then why did Amelie have her eye on her from the start? I heard what Amelie wanted from the Secretary and her strange behavior.""Regina, what exactly are you suspicious of? She's just a secretary, what she knows surely isn't important.""If it's not important, why is Amelie seeking information from her? Henry, can I trust you as a partner with all the tricks you're hiding?"Henry sighed. "Even if you don't trust me, you can't break your promise. Regina, whatever you fac
"Why don't you manipulate him? At first, I thought maybe he was quite infatuated with you, but I think he's just using you. If you manage to make him truly infatuated with you, you'll reap all the benefits and you could even snatch important projects and ruin him!" Mr. Tan cunningly advised Regina.Regina fell silent for a moment, unable to openly oppose Mr. Tan."Dad, I'll seriously consider your advice," Regina finally said.Mr. Tan nodded satisfactorily. "You should accept that proposal if you still want to survive, isn't this also a way to redeem your loss because that guy has taken everything from you? It's good revenge."Regina nodded.Mr. Tan left the room. Amelie was already there. They glanced at each other. Then Mr. Tan cut off contact and walked away. Amelie, putting her phone that she initially held, into her jacket pocket."CEO Tan, I'm back," Amelie acted as usual. However, Regina didn't respond."Are you going to start a cold war? Until when? Why don't we forget about t
