Harry Lambert looked at the approaching person, a young man wearing glasses.

“Can I add you on WhatsApp?” The young man timidly handed over his cell phone, which was slapped away by Harry Lambert.

Looking to the side, Violet Summers had already left with the black car, leaving no trace behind.

Harry Lambert’s face immediately fell.

The bespectacled man had just picked up his cell phone when he was yelled at by the “beautiful woman” in front of him. “Scram.”

The crisp voice was a pleasant baritone

“You you you ”

The bespectacled man was greatly shocked, his mouth wide open.

Damn it, this “beauty” turned out to be a trans man!

Seeing the panic in front of him, Harry Lambert took a deep breath, his face livid, and left.

Thompson Tower, CEO’s office.

Daniel Thompson looked at the stack of documents in front of him, holding his head in pain.

Phoebe Belmont’s face turned ashen: “Mr. Thompson, after Michael Gallagher’s death, several companies closely cooperating with the Gallagher family don’t want to work with us. Now the projects are stalled, and our superiors are pressuring us.”

Listening to this upsetting message, Daniel Thompson felt a throbbing pain starting in his brows, as if it radiated through his entire brain.

“Besides companies related to the Gallagher family, are there any other companies that want to withdraw?”

They couldn’t handle this big project alone and had cooperated with many small companies. However, today, without exception, they seemed to have received orders to dissolve their partnership with the Thompson Group.

“Yes ” Phoebe sighed, “There are more than 100 companies cooperating with us, and now more than 50 have encountered problems.”

She didn’t know where the problem lay.

The Thompson family’s funds were not an issue, and the projects were proceeding in an orderly fashion. However, for some reason, these companies began to deliberately distance themselves from them.

Daniel Thompson immediately thought of one person.

Someone capable of organizing this could only be Violet Summers.

If Gillian had told her about it, it wasn’t impossible for her to pull a stunt like this.

He quickly called Gillian Thompson.

“Dad ” Gillian’s voice was still sweet. Daniel lowered his voice and asked, “There’s been a minor accident at the company recently. Did you tell Violet Summers anything?”

Gillian was silent for a few seconds.

Daniel immediately understood: “Your mother was impulsive before; ask her to back off. I’ll never let you suffer as long as I’m here.”

Hearing this, Gillian quickly said, “Dad, don’t say that. The company’s business is also my business. I’ll ask her what’s going on, and I’ll definitely help with the company’s affairs.”

After hanging up the phone, Daniel finally let out a sigh of relief.

Phoebe Belmont said to Daniel Thompson, “Mr. Thompson, Ivy Thompson is still in the hospital. Shall we go see her together later?”

Ivy Thompson

Daniel squinted his eyes, his heart sinking.

Why is she in the hospital again?

This child had not had a moment’s peace since returning to the Thompson family. She had been in and out of the hospital many times, a bad omen.

“No need, you go ahead.”

He leaned back in the boss’s chair and closed his eyes to rest.

Phoebe Belmont gazed at him deeply, obsessively tracing his features from his eyes down to his mouth. After thinking for a moment, she mustered up the courage to approach him.

Daniel opened his eyes and squinted, “Anything else?”

Phoebe quickly lowered her head and handed him the blanket in her hand, “I was afraid you might get cold and wanted to cover you.”

Daniel accepted the blanket, “Thank you.”

Phoebe pursed her lips, her hands at her sides, hesitating whether to speak. In the end, she gritted her teeth and turned around.

As she reached the door, Daniel’s voice sounded, “Phoebe, do you like me?”

Phoebe’s shoulders trembled, and she shyly nodded.

“Don’t like me anymore.”

It was both advice and a warning.

Phoebe’s eyes reddened, and she felt as if she had been struck hard.

She knew that this man had always liked that person, but she liked him too!

With courage she didn’t know where it came from, she suddenly turned and walked towards him, choking: “Mr. Thompson, I do like you, but I’ve never asked you to like me, let alone thought of destroying your family. You can’t be so overbearing in demanding this from me.”

Hearing this, a hint of ripple appeared on Daniel Thompson’s calm face.

Women’s passionate pursuit of him had not happened in a long time.

At the elevator entrance of the CEO building, Amanda Leaford, wearing black sunglasses, carrying a handbag, and stepping on high heels, came out of the elevator.

Seeing her, people at the company covered their mouths in surprise and began gossiping.

Black waist-length hair, fair skin, a beautiful face, and figure. She looked like she was only in her thirties, and it was hard to guess that she was a woman who had given birth to four children.

Her daughter was in the hospital, but the baby’s father was nowhere to be seen, and he wouldn’t answer calls, so Amanda Leaford decided to come directly to the company.

“Where is your CEO’s office?”

Amanda Leaford removed her glasses, and the security guard at the entrance to the CEO building immediately recognized her.

“CEO’s wife!

The security guard wanted to report it immediately, but Amanda Leaford stopped him: “I’ll go in myself.”

She stormed angrily towards the office door, which suddenly opened, and a red figure rushed out.

It was Phoebe Belmont.

She covered her mouth, her eyes red like a rabbit’s, and when she rushed out, she violently collided with Amanda Leaford, causing her to lose her balance and fall to the ground.

“I’m sorry!” Phoebe didn’t even look at her, apologized softly, and hurried out.

Amanda Leaford frowned, feeling something was strange.

She got up and walked into the room.

“How come you’re here again ” Daniel Thompson’s words stopped abruptly. Seeing it was her, a hint of embarrassment appeared on his face. “Why are you here?”

Amanda Leaford looked back, then looked at Daniel Thompson, her lips pursed into a tight line.

There was a deep meaning in her eyes that was hard to read.

Daniel Thompson’s heart skipped a beat and he got nervous, sweating from his palms. He hurriedly stepped forward to grab her arm, “How come you didn’t let anyone notify me when you came?”

This was like reproaching her for coming abruptly.

Amanda Leaford calmly broke free from his hand, staring at him: “What were you just doing with that woman?”

That woman looked off.

Daniel Thompson’s eyes evaded for a moment, then affectionately moved closer to her, speaking softly: “Nothing, she asked me for a raise, and I refused.”

This was an obvious perfunctory response.

Amanda Leaford’s beautiful brown eyebrows tightened, and her face showed her displeasure.

“I don’t know what your relationship is with her, but regarding our children, you can’t let them lose face.”

“Ivy’s in the hospital, and you can’t even visit her. Are you still their father?!”

Every word Amanda Leaford said made Daniel Thompson’s face stiff.

“I see that the only person in your heart is Gillian, your adopted daughter. Since it’s like this, there’s no need for us to be husband and wife.”

These words stunned Daniel Thompson.

“What do you mean?”

“The meaning on the surface.” Having said that, Amanda Leaford left without looking back.

Seeing her like this, Daniel Thompson didn’t follow her for the first time.

It’s always tiring to coax someone, and now, he was a bit tired.

At the hospital, Molly Walker looked at the message Harry Lambert sent to her, and her eyes deepened.

“Thompson family’s project has encountered difficulties, do we need to help them?”

Harry Lambert asked.

To help meant to use the organization’s connections.

If it was in the past, she wouldn’t have helped, but now there were people she cared about at Thompson family, and she didn’t want anything to happen to the company.

“Find out the reasons for their lack of cooperation.”
