Lena didn't know how to react, and cold sweat was pouring out.

Hunter, however, slowly pushed the cup in front of him away and said in a lighter tone, "Father should come to talk to you soon."

And before this, Lena repeatedly assured the old man that she had no other thoughts about Hunter.

The old man was not someone else, and he would definitely not believe any of her excuses anymore.

She pursed her lips and remained silent, quickly pondering a solution.

But there was clearly no room for turning back in this matter.

She could only confess.

"Mr. Reid, I was just trying to help you out of trouble, and it seems like you didn't want to sit here either."

"Did I ask you for help?"

His tone was faint, surprisingly calm.

Lena was instantly speechless because, in fact, no one had asked her for help; it was her own initiative.

If the old man had made a move, she would definitely have had no way out.

She hesitated for a minute before asking, "So what should I do now?"

As soon as the words fell,

    She had just left when James pushed the door open and walked in, standing respectfully in front of Hunter, with a quick and alert mind.Those bodyguards were indeed Cayden's. The bodyguards are now on their way back to the Reid family. If the president doesn't intervene, Lena's words will indeed reach the old man's ears.He came in now to see the president's attitude.James didn't speak, he waited quietly.However, ten minutes had passed and Hunter still maintained his posture of reviewing the documents.The sound of the pen being polished was particularly clear.Watching as fifteen minutes quickly passed, James cautiously inquired, "Sir, should we intercept?"Hunter's pen paused in his hand, his eyes flickered for a moment, and then he became nonchalant, saying, "No need.""But..."If not stopped, the old man over there would really take action.James sometimes really didn't know what he was thinking.Hunter finally put down the pen and heard the footsteps outside the door, knowing t

    Hunter took out a handkerchief and lightly wiped the corners of his mouth, "Yes, but you can't afford it."Lena felt a bit embarrassed, as no one could match Hunter in terms of financial resources if it was a competition.She pondered for a while, then suddenly smiled as if she knew what to give.Taking a deep breath, "Mr. Reid, I went to choose a gift. If the one I chose satisfies you, could you please tell me about the matter related to that piece of land?"Hunter raised an eyebrow slightly, seeing the confidence on her face, a glimmer of anticipation flickered in his eyes.He lowered his eyelashes, concealing this emotion. "Hmm."Since Lena had thought of giving a gift, there was no need for her to stay here. She quickly left the hotel and started contacting Clara.Clara was surprised when she found out the appearance of the deceased Miss Wright while she was inquiring about the Wright family."Lena, why were you asking about this?""Clara, if you had her photo, could you send it t

    He "hmm" and was pushed out of the meeting room.The atmosphere in the meeting room was originally very oppressive, but in the moment Hunter left, the heavy mountain pressing on top of their heads seemed to instantly disappear.Everyone took a breath and felt relieved that they were still alive.After returning to the office, Hunter remained calm. There were still many files piled up today, but he couldn't focus on them.Data that used to be easily understood at a glance, now crawls chaotically on the white paper like tadpoles.He raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, saying to James beside him, "I'm going to sleep, wake me up at seven in the evening.""Okay."Hunter's insomnia has always been very severe, and in the past few days, he has also been suffering from insomnia, with faint dark circles under his eyelids.Lying on the bed in the lounge, probably because he was in a good mood this time, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.He often dreamed of past events, dreaming of those

    She, being close to Hunter, spoke and her hair fragrance inadvertently wafted into his nostrils. His eyelashes trembled several times, brushing against Lena's palm.She was feeling a bit itchy.Lena took a deep breath and brushed away the strange feeling in her heart. "You close your eyes first," she said.I thought Hunter would be impatient, but I didn't expect that he actually obediently closed his eyes.Lena suddenly realized that Hunter had really been cooperative with her tonight.With his current status, there were countless people trying to please him. The difference in their positions was so great that no one expected him to endure until now.She hurriedly sped up the process, turned on the lights in the room, and pushed him in front of Elyse.Elyse sat on the sofa and, after getting a clear look at Hunter's appearance, a hint of astonishment crossed her eyes.Is this the appearance of a real person?What happened to his legs? Will they never get better for the rest of his lif

    Lena originally wanted to ask him if he was satisfied, but inexplicably, she now hesitated to ask, as if she was entangled by something very dangerous.She couldn't figure out his thoughts, and she swallowed her saliva.James pushed Hunter and walked straight past her.Due to Hunter's powerful aura, Lena stayed still in her place until the two of them had entered the elevator, and only then did she react.She quickly pushed open the door of the room and went to the bedroom.Elyse sat on the sofa, her cheeks were already red, and her lips trembled with excitement.Lena didn't understand what had happened in the room and quickly asked, "Was he still satisfied with you?"Elyse's face turned even redder, to the point where it reached her neck."Should be satisfied, he kept staring at my face without saying a word."Lena breathed a sigh of relief, Hunter rarely stared at anyone, maybe he was really satisfied.As for why he left so quickly, it may be because his emotions were too turbulent.

    Lena watched his back, pursed her lips. She had thought that Dillon, after looking at the proposal, would surely soften his heart, but she didn't expect that now he didn't even want to look at it.What went wrong exactly?She wanted to give it another try, so she quickly walked up to his car window and said, "Dillon..."The words were not even finished, Dillon stepped on the accelerator and left.Lena took a deep breath and quickly drove after.Dillon came from the Dawson Group and prepared the contract for share signing overnight.Lena saw that he was determined and knew that there was no room for turning back on this matter.Tristin didn't come to work today. Dillon was waiting in the conference room and started packing his things. Once the stock agreement is signed, he will resign from the company. After all, the wealth he has accumulated over the years is enough to last the rest of his life. There is no need to risk his own life.Lena saw that this path was not going to work, so s

    After Clara finished speaking, Zander lowered his eyelashes and his lips curved for a moment. "It's really not difficult for me, so how are you planning to reward me?"Clara certainly knew what reward he wanted, pretending to be ignorant at this time was useless.She raised her hand and rubbed her temples, "What do you want to do?"Zander also didn't hide his intentions, his tone became very low, "Sleep with you."Clara was stunned for a moment, sometimes she really couldn't believe why Zander had turned out like this.They grew up together, she treated him like a younger brother. When did he develop such thoughts? Even the role reversal was so natural, and his speech was so vulgar.Thinking about Lena, she was helpless, but it's not like she had never slept before."In the evening, I went to your place."Since she unilaterally broke up, she has not visited the Farley family again. After that, Zander moved out from the Farley family and bought a villa for himself, and she has never be

    Lena received the news from the police station that Tristin would be detained for ten days. She breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that there would be at least ten days of buffer period.You can take this time to think about what to do.If Dillon couldn't be taken down here, she could only think about whether she could bribe other executives. The stocks they held together were also quite substantial.However, these higher-ups currently do not have a positive view of her and Randy, unless they can perfectly resolve the issue with that piece of land. This way, everyone will be reassured, at least knowing that the company will definitely thrive under her and Randy's leadership.Currently, Hunter knows the news, but he is unwilling to speak up.She gave him a gift, but he didn't respond, and now she feels very passive.After thinking it over, I ended up back on the ground.She tried to call James, but he didn't answer.She could only send one text message."James, is Mr. Reid satisfied or

    Kianna's lips were trembling, her eyes were turning red, and the words she spoke were slightly broken."You made my boyfriend get exiled by Jordan, and you ruined his whole life. I never expected that the owner of this number would be you, which means that all of this was planned by you! Lena, I hate you so much!"Her eyes were filled with hatred, but she reluctantly stepped back in fear of the dagger in Lena's hand.Lena squatted on the ground, looking into her eyes, "Did you really not contact Lillian?"Kianna's face changed, how could she not have contacted Lillian.Lena wanted to ask a few more questions, but she faintly saw a person standing below the small building, as if they had just come out.It was Mr. H.She quickly got up, and at the same time threw the dagger back into the car, and instructed Jovanni."You keep an eye on her, I'll go talk to Mr. H."Jovanni also noticed the man standing several meters away.

    Lena squinted her eyes and curved her lips, "So, Owen, did you know?"Since Jovanni was following her, he should have been familiar with her recent whereabouts.He indeed pursed his lips and said, "I know.""Was it him who arranged the person I had to deal with tonight?""No, it was Kianna."Lena lowered her eyelashes and said, "Kianna, that was easy to deal with."She took out her phone and sent Kianna a few strongly emotional text messages using the previous number. Kianna indeed agreed to meet up.Lena couldn't help but laugh. With a mind like that, if it weren't for her last name being Wright, she would have probably been eaten up and left with nothing but crumbs.She was about to drive away when Jovanni instantly caught up, "Why are you going alone?""I went to meet Kianna to see why she had this inexplicable hatred towards me, and I wanted to find out if Lillian had anything to do with it."Jovanni opened th

    Jovanni opened the car door and sat inside. Because the weather was too cold, the breath he exhaled was all white. He lowered his eyelashes, not knowing what he was thinking.Lena sat in the driver's seat, but she didn't start the car right away.She had felt several times recently that someone was following her, but she didn't know if it was just her imagination.She leaned back and adjusted the temperature of the air conditioning in the car. "Where is your brother Gael? Why did you come out alone?"And in the middle of the night, he even followed her. What on earth was going on?Jovanni looked out of the window, and in his mind, he recalled the scene of being kidnapped that day.The man, of course, didn't actually kill him and Gael, but Gael was detained.Gael has always been the calmest one, while Jovanni is different, he had a more volatile temper and has always been very outspoken.Although they were not blood brothers, he

    Lena had been staying in the hospital until evening. She hadn't been sleeping well recently and couldn't resist lying down by the bed and fell asleep like that.Three hours later, she was awakened by the doctor."Ms. Dawson, you go back and rest first. Don't wait until your brother wakes up and you collapse."Lena's eyelids had dark circles, and she rubbed her eyes upon hearing the words."Did his high fever not go down?"The doctor sighed and said, "Considering his own fate, perhaps there are some things he himself cannot understand, which is why he is like this. As family members, you can talk to him more."But she had no idea what Randy's knot was.She got up and, after returning home, was extremely tired and fell asleep right away.But in the middle of the night, she always felt like she heard a sound outside the window.She got up, turned on the nearby light, and saw a strange man leaning on her house window, holdin

    When Lena woke up, it was midnight and she felt like there was a furnace beside her.She quickly got up and reached out to Randy's forehead to check, and he was running a fever!"Randy!"She shouted, but he didn't respond. He had already burnt it to a crisp.Lena quickly dialed the local emergency hotline.But she had to arrive at daybreak, so she continued to add firewood to the bonfire and moved Randy closer.But even in this state, he resisted.He was curled up in a daze, and woke up once in the middle, seeing her probing his forehead, unable to help but ask, "Who are you, after all?"If he hadn't been sick, Lena would have slapped him.She forced herself to calm down and then tore off a piece of fabric to wrap some ice and snow from outside, placing it on his forehead to cool him down.Randy's face was completely red, and his hands were reaching out haphazardly to the side, as if he was trying to touch somethi

    As she approached, she fiercely slapped him.Randy's clothes were still hanging nearby, and there were many bruises on his body, indicating that the car accident had injured him, but not to the extent of being life-threatening.His face was intact, but now it swelled up instantly after being slapped, indicating that Lena showed no mercy in her attack.Lena was so angry that she grabbed his thin clothes and pulled him closer."You came all the way to this place to find you, who are you giving a bad attitude to? Speak up! What's the matter after all?"Randy turned his head away and silently stared at a certain spot on the cave wall, tears streaming down "drip, drip".Lena knew her little brother Randy well. If Randy had been wronged, he would have wanted to grab a megaphone and shout in front of her, demanding that she focus more of her energy on him. For example, if he had been humiliated by Mr. H, he would not hesitate to ask her to break up

    Lena was not going to let him have his way at this critical moment. She pushed him away and straightened her clothes."I left first."He did not try to stop her either, sitting in place and nodding very obediently.Lena's preferences for men were sometimes strange. She didn't believe that men necessarily had to be strong and powerful, like Mr. H. It was also not a bad thing for him to need her protection.She left and drove away, with her destination set to her hometown on the navigation.It took a long time to drive, and in the meantime, she ate two cookies to satisfy her hunger before arriving.She went to Dashawn's house first, and he was in the yard digging herbs. When he saw her coming, there was a moment of surprise in his eyes, and then he realized."Are you Lena?"Lena was a bit unclear about this location. If she hadn't asked along the way, she wouldn't have been able to find it at all.She nodded politely and s

    She quickly turned around and walked towards the house.To my surprise, Mr. H had been standing obediently at the entrance, without moving at all. It seemed that he was unaware of the death outside.She took a deep breath and held his face in her hands, comforting him, "Something happened outside, don't go out for now. Is your doctor friend, the one from Wraith Manor?"Mr. H's eyelashes trembled, and his cheek unconsciously rubbed against her palm, showing some attachment. "Hmm.""You called him over, I needed him to help me with something."Since it was Wraith Manor, they should have been proficient in dealing with dead people.Mr. H immediately made a phone call and asked the other party to come over."Lena, why do I feel a smell of blood?"Lena pulled him and sat on the sofa in the hall in the dark. "I accidentally scratched my arm just now, but it's okay."Mr. H remained silent, slowly caressing her fingertips, his t

    She stepped on the accelerator, never having driven at such a high speed before.After rushing to the small western-style building outside Mr. H's, she quickly got out of the car and ran towards the inside.The people in those cars probably didn't expect her to stop here, but they also stopped, their faces filled with excitement. This was all Lena's doing. Tonight, she was going to be killed in this place, fulfilling her employer's mission.Lena arrived at the door and entered directly using the password.As soon as she stood still, she was embraced by someone."Mr. H?""Hmm."She raised her hand and patted his back, "Do you have any handy weapons here?""Yes, I had obtained two guns from Wraith Manor earlier, but it was too dangerous, so I never used them."Wraith Manor, a place located in a lawless area, was common to have access to guns.What Lena needs the most right now is this."Okay, you gave me the
