"You are biting off more than you can chew!" Francine interrupted icily, "You should know the status of KCL in the field of electronic science and technology. They've only collaborated with Hunt Enterprise all these years. How can a fledgling company like yours work with them just because you want to?""That's right!"Briar, who was hiding behind Francine, also raised her voice. "With the scale of Azure Group, you are not even worthy of holding a candle to KCL; what more work with them. I think this is exactly why you used such an insidious method to harm Stefan. You were hoping that Hunt Enterprise and KCL would not be able to collaborate…"Liam nearly burst out laughing when he heard this. "I can't agree with you. I admit that KCL is strong, but they are not that unattainable. Strictly speaking, I have a good relationship with the boss of KCL!"Briar snorted disdainfully, "You must be bragging. Even Stefan did not have much contact with the boss of KCL, much less a person of your
"What is it, Madam Francine? Is there any news of Stefan?" asked Briar anxiously."Yes." Francine nodded without the slightest joy on her face."That's great. How's Stef now? Where is he? Did he say that it was them who did it to him?" asked Briar eagerly.She guessed that something unpleasant must have happened between Renee and Stefan. Liam's reaction wouldn't have been so defensive otherwise.Now that Stefan was found, she certainly wasn't about to let them escape!After a long silence, Francine said with a complicated expression, "Stef is… quite well. We have misjudged Ms. Everheart and Mr. Osborne.""What?" Briar and Liam shouted simultaneously in surprise."It's good that he's okay." Renee was relieved to hear the news.Liam would've concealed something to not make her worry, but a calculating person like Francine would've pounced on her long ago if something bad happened to Stefan. As Francine had no reason to hide from her, she had reason to believe that Stefan should b
Renee's expression was very calm, and she said with confidence, "We will just do what we should. Azure Group was not affected by Hunt Enterprise in the past, and so will it be in the future. Hunt Enterprise has been prosperous for so long, but it is time to change that. We'll let them taste how it is to be under the thumb of someone."Liam's confidence was boosted instantly. He looked at Renee with starry eyes as if gazing at his only God. He admired her so much that he could practically kneel down in front of her. "Don't worry, Boss. I have already set up the press conference site. Whether it is the media or our peers, they won't be attending this press conference just for fun. We shall let the whole nation watch how the magnificent Hunt Enterprise falls from grace!"The man was very excited. He and Renee had waited too long and put in too much effort for this day, so only success was allowed, not failure.He could not deny that the incident of Stefan happened just in time.Supp
Abigail clapped in excitement.As Aiden's biggest fan, Abigail regarded him as an all-powerful superhero. In her heart, her brother was the most powerful person in this world.As for the second, it was no doubt her beautiful and gentle mommy!As for the third… she thought that it should be Bad Daddy who hurt her mommy. Only he had the ability to make her strong and brave mother shed tears."Adie, I think the bad guy who hurt Mommy could be Bad Daddy. After all, Mommy is so powerful. Who else would bully her?" She blinked her big, round eyes and guessed suddenly."Well, it is possible." Adie nodded. Though he was a four-year-old child, his handsome small face already revealed its potential to charm. "I’ll soon be able to meet bad daddy, and I will naturally know if he is the one who harmed Mommy. If he really did it, I will not forgive him!""But Adie, Mommy said that he is very powerful. Can you beat him alone?""Of course, I can." Adie patted his small briefcase and said conf
At the sight of the man, Aiden put his small computer into his briefcase nonchalantly. He then took off his sunglasses, revealing his round, shiny, tiger-like eyes, and said sweetly, "Hello, mister. Nice to meet you!""Oh, what a little good guy!"The previously ferocious security guard's heart melted instantly the moment he had a good look at the face of the small handsome man. He smiled calmly and said, "What's your name, little guy? What are you doing here? Where are your parents?"Aiden was well aware that his cute and harmless face was his biggest weapon. No ordinary man would be able to resist once he saw his face. Therefore, he deliberately blinked his eyes and put on a pitiful look, and started manipulating the man. "Mister, I am waiting for my dad to get off work here. I feel so bored, but I can only play a game here. Aren't I look pathetic?""That's too much!" The security guard felt very sorry for Aiden when he saw him frowning and said angrily, "Who’s your father? H
After sending Aiden to the lounge, the security guard zealously went to get snacks for him. However, when he returned to the lounge with a plate of cake and fruit, no one was there!Adie successfully evaded all the cameras with perfection and got to the top floor of Hunt Enterprise. The top floor exclusively belonged to Stefan. It was where the CEO's office was.The floor was so spacious and cold that it was close to empty, save for his secretary and the executives.Because there was no news of Stefan these days, his secretary and the executives were so swamped with handling important business that they rarely went to that floor.Adie soon made his way to the door of the CEO's office. He entered the cracked code and unlocked the door easily."Hah! It's just as Mommy said. The security system of Hunt Enterprise sucks. That wasn't even a challenge!"The little boy shook his head in disappointment. Clenching his teeth, he pushed the door with all his might and strutted in.Stefan's
Aiden put down the envelope and looked at Briar calmly. "Who are you? Why are you here at Stefan's office?"His questions only invoked Briar's guilt."I…"Now, she was almost sure that this boy was Stefans's son. Not only did he look exactly like the childhood Stefan, but he carried the same strong and confident aura his father had! "Adie, I am your Mommy's good friend. You can call me Aunt Briar."Briar was all smiles as she approached Aiden gradually.She could only be sure that this kid was Stefan's. As for his mother, she was still unsure if it was Renee.Stefan was so outstanding. There were countless women who wished to bear his children. It might not be Renee, after all."You are Mommy's good friend?"Aiden's chubby but handsome face showed a confused expression.His mother had only talked about one best friend, Leia Osborne, his Aunt Lei. He had never heard of her having any friends named Briar.However, he heard that Aunt Lei often cursed a woman called Briar, sayi
"Aunt Briar, don't you like me?"Aiden blinked his eyes like how his sister, Abigail, always did. He tried hard to act cute with the same intention as Briar, to gain her trust, as he knew that it was her who worked with Bad Daddy to bully Mommy. Therefore, he needed to find a way to teach this woman a lesson!"I…"Briar couldn't bring herself to even say that she hated this little kid the moment she looked at his adorable face."Aunt Briar, can you pat and hug me? You are just like my Mommy. I like you very much!"Aiden beamed and held Briar's hand.Briar was instantly defeated. She failed to restrain herself and cupped Aiden's fair and soft cheeks and said, "How can I not like you? You’re so cute! Don't worry. I will take good care of you. Why don't I take you somewhere to play later?""Sure. You’re the best!"Aiden continued to hug Briar tightly while plotting a small plan in his mind.She indulged in the feel of Aiden's soft cotton-ball-like cheek, unwilling to let go.She
