    Chapter 1717


    Following behind Griffon, Holden suddenly stopped after a


    few steps and looked at Emelyn sitting in the car.


    “If I don’te back, find someone else to mate.”


    Emelyn’s heart skipped a beat as she stared nkly at Holden’s retreating figure.


    She had a secret crush on him, but never spoke a word about


    1. it.


    Holden had always been emotionally distant and clueless


    when it came to love. He had no idea about her feelings for


    him.


    But the words he just said seemed to reveal that he knew she


    was in love with him, silently and secretly, all this time.


    Emelyn’s indifferent fox–like eyes gradually became sore and


    red…


    Bro, if you don’te back, I will never get mated.


    After Griffon left, Taya couldn’t bring herself to do anything. Most of the time, she would sit on the sofa


    in the study, curled

    Neil hade to urge the Lawrence pack’s design ns


    several times. Whenever he saw her looking distracted,


    he would pull Grace over to cheer her up. Taya would asionally force a smile, but it didn’te from


    the heart.


    The hardest part was at night, Taya was used to sleeping with Griffon in her arms, but now that he was


    gone, she was afraid.

    to even turn off the lights.


    In the middle of the night, she would wake up and reach out to


    the spot next to her. When she felt the coldness, she couldn’t help but feel sad.


    Griffon went toplete his mission without his phone. She couldn’t contact him or video call, so she


    just sat at home,


    drawing and waiting for him toe back…


    At the Knight Group, Preston announced internally, as instructed by Griffon, that Griffon would be


    heading to Europe to develop new territories. The trip was scheduled for one


    month, during which time Preston would act as interim CEO.


    He managed to calm down the rest of thepany, but he couldn’t calm down the other members of


    the Knight pack. When they heard that Griffon had left, they started arguing and demanding that


    Preston exin the distribution of


    shares.

    3/5


    Preston was almost blocked by a group of messy rtives at the entrance of thepany or in the


    meeting room every day. At first, with the persuasion of his brothers, Preston could grit his teeth and


    endure it. But after it happened multiple times, he started to lose his temper.


    But even the rtives who were still under the Knight‘ employment couldn’t be intimidated by his


    temper. “Preston, you are just an interim CEO, not the one in charge. Since you can’t give an


    exnation, then just sell your shares publicly.”


    They were afraid that Griffon woulde back for revenge, so they didn’t dare to ask Taya for shares.


    However, they


    weren’t afraid of Preston.


    But they underestimated Preston. Apart from his quick temper and impulsiveness, he was also quite


    ruthless. “Sebastian, the management of personnel in thepany, is it your subordinates‘


    responsibility?”


    “Sebastian nodded, ‘I am in charge of the administrative department, so it’s my subordinates who are


    responsible for


    it.”


    Preston’s eyes narrowed with malice, growing even more intense. “You fired everyone who opposed


    Griffon‘ share allocation!”

    The people in the conference room were stunned, even Sebastian doubted if he had heard it wrong. He


    sat up straight and leaned forward, “Did you say all of it?”


    There were many rtives currently working at the Knight pack, and if they were all fired, it would have


    serious consequences. Grandpa might evene back to make things right for them…


    Preston’s voice was cold and unquestionable as he said, “Make sure your people are taken care of this


    afternoon. I don’t want to see them again tomorrow.”


    With those words, Preston closed hisptop and got up to


    leave the conference room,

    As they watched the figure of the shooting star, Sebastian and Christopher exchanged a nce.


    Preston had changed a bit during this time, seeming to have gained a sense of maturity


    and courage.


    But it was also good this way, they’ve long been fed up with those old–fashioned rtives.


    After dealing with thepany’s affairs, Preston returned to his office and opened his calendar. He


    stared at the numbers counting down and his face was filled with worry. He didn’t know how Griffon


    was doing now and if he would be able to

    entrusted to Neil to deliver to the Lawrence pack. However, Griffon did not return within the specified


    time…
