The area outside his office had been transformed into a children's play area, with not even a single couch for seating. Thus, the meeting, which lasted about half an hour, was conducted while everyone stood.During the meeting, Thaddeus listened to his subordinates' reports while occasionally glancing through the crack in the door to check on what the two children were doing and if they were coming into contact with anything dangerous.After the meeting, the dozen or so executives returned to their respective seats. Soon, the company's internal chat group became lively."Breaking news! Breaking news! Mr. Holt brought his kids to work today. They're super adorable twins, and they're currently in the CEO's office.""What? Mr. Holt has kids? With his cold demeanor, won't the kids be scared?""What would they be scared of? The two kids are bouncing around on his couch. That couch was air-shipped from Italy by Mr. Holt himself. Every time I go to his office to report, I dare not sit on

The father and son were currently at a standoff. Lucas' call to Jessamine went unanswered earlier, but now Jessamine was calling back. Seeing her call coming in, Lucas felt like he had found a refuge. He wasn't afraid of Thaddeus anymore."Lucas, did you and your sister have fun today?" Jessamine's gentle voice came through Lucas' smartwatch. Before Lucas could reply, Layla stood up and held Lucas' arm, blurting out, "Mommy, Daddy and Lucas are fighting.""Huh?" Jessamine's mind was filled with many questions.Lucas, playing the victim, followed Layla's lead and complained, "Mommy, I'm scared. Sob!" His voice sounded as if he had suffered a great injustice. He hadn't even cried when he was bullied by classmates in kindergarten, but this time, it was unbearable.The two children had been pampered by Jessamine since they were young. She was strict in their upbringing but restrained her temper, never resorting to violence or losing her temper with the children. Her educational approac

After a while, Jessamine turned and said, "Lucas, Daddy's computer has important work files on it. You can't just use it casually. Do you remember?"Lucas knew he had done something wrong and nodded obediently. "I know.""Why did you lie to Mommy?"Lucas, feeling guilty, pouted and didn't dare to speak. If Jessamine found out what he had done, she might never let Xander return the computer to him.Meanwhile, Thaddeus parked the car outside a large mall."Lucas, a real man should be brave enough to admit his mistakes. Do you want to tell Mommy the truth, or should I?"This time, Lucas was really caught. After weighing his options, he felt that confessing on his own would be more likely to gain Jessamine's forgiveness."Mommy, I used Daddy's computer to go online."Thaddeus, sitting in the driver's seat, had already unbuckled his seatbelt and turned to look at the three of them in the back. When he heard Lucas' words, he couldn't help but chuckle again.He had asked Lucas to con

Thaddeus secretly felt that his son was amazing for doing something he couldn't have done at his age. He recalled himself at the age of four. He was most likely climbing walls and trees while chasing pigeons with another group of kids. Not only did he doubt himself, but he even doubted his friend, Corvus, who made his fortune through programming. He probably couldn't have achieved what his son did either.After dinner, while Jessamine was cleaning up the kitchen, Thaddeus sent a WhatsApp message to Corvus.Thaddeus: "Corvus, at what age did you start learning programming?"Corvus: "Probably around junior year. Why? Are you thinking of learning?"Thaddeus: "My son learned it when he was four. Impressive, right?"Corvus: "???"Corvus thought Thaddeus wanted to discuss something important, but it turns out he was just showing off.Thaddeus: "My son can hack into people's systems, impressive, isn't it?"Thaddeus: "Do you believe my son can hack into your company's intranet?"Tha

"You heartless bastard! You're still trying to shift the blame! Let's beat him!"Noah looked up at his front door. It was just a few meters away, and yet, he couldn't return home."Surveillance cameras are overhead. If you're sure about resorting to violence, it's your choice. The legal department of Holt Jewelry will pursue justice to the end. Each person here will be held accountable. No one will escape."These people lacked experience. Noah's words scared them into not daring to advance further. They couldn't take physical action, but perhaps they could still use their voices, right? The scene fell quiet for a few seconds, but then the clamor resumed.A group of people pointed fingers at Noah, cursing and spitting.Noah, trapped in the crowd, couldn't move. He began coughing violently. When he realized his asthma was acting up again, he reached into his bag for his medication. But just as he grabbed the inhaler, his bag was snatched away by the troublemakers, who tore it apart
