Unfazed, Reynolds carried on with a crafty grin, ““Cayson, we’re both men, why the pretense?


    Everyone has noted your feelings for Loraine!”


    Cayson’s countenance darkened immediately upon the mention of Loraine, and he experienced a


    twinge of embarrassment as if he had been stripped bare.


    Reynolds, however, appeared oblivious to his difort and leaned in, his voice dropping to an


    insinuating whisper, “Cayson, Loraine is just a woman, and winning her over is rather simple.


    Previously, we all had to tread lightly due to Loraine’s grandfather, a potent figure within the Torres


    family. But now that he’s not in good health as he gets older, and who knows how long he’llst, even if


    he recovers, it’s unlikely he’LL ever return to thepany…”


    Cayson’s ordinarily mild countenance hardened, his fists clenched as he questioned in an icy tone,


    “What are you implying?”


    A N G E L A ‘s L I B R A R Y


    Believing he had piqued Cayson’s interest, Reynolds’s smile broadened,


    “Cayson, your parents were instrumental in helping Loraine’s grandfather consolidate his power. And


    you have been stewarding thepany for years, a fact recognized by all. But when Loraine returned,


    she assumed the CEO role and usurped your position. Consider how she treats you. Are you content


    with being sidelined by her?


    Loraine is just a woman. Her only talent is capitalizing on a favorable situation. If you desire her, why


    not align with me? Together, we can seize control of Universe Group. Once you’re in the driver’s seat,


    you can dictate terms with her however you wish…”


    Blissfully ignorant of how terrible Cayson’s expression had be,


    Reynolds was lost in his own reverie, his eyes alight with anticipation. In his grand scheme, it was he,


    not Cayson, who would ascend to power and puppeteer Loraine.

    As aman, he assumed Cayson wouldn’t be able to resist such a beguiling proposal.


    In his tion, Reynoldsid a hand on Cayson’s shoulder, but was abruptly shrugged off in the next


    instant!


    Unwaveringly Loyal Dog


    Cayson’s patience had worn thin.


    His features hardened as he told Reynolds, “Mr. Watts, I am currently the acting CEO of Universe


    Group, as I was before, and will be in the future. Loraine is the CEO, and as her subordinate, I refuse


    to betray her trust. Today, I will let slide the implications of your words. But if there’s a next time, I won’t


    hesitate to address it formally.”


    Reynolds’s brows furrowed, his face a mask of perplexity.


    He found it challenging toprehend Cayson’s unwavering loyalty towards Loraine.


    Having interacted with numerous people, he presumed he had a thorough grasp of human nature. In


    his opinion, no one could resist the lure of money.


    His mind wandered to Duran, a former director of an equivalent position to Reynolds, who had


    undertaken questionable tasks for him, shouldered the me, and eventuallynded in jail.


    Upon some reflection, Reynolds deduced the crux of the matter. He hadn’t managed to sway Cayson


    because he hadn’t offered something sufficiently tempting.


    Cayson’s aspirations extended beyond mere possession of Loraine. He sought her affection!


    Reynolds’s countenance underwent a gamut of transformations before he finally conjured a smug smile


    and adopted a patronizing tone to chide


    Cayson, ““Cayson, you’re being naive. Regardless of your noble intentions towards Loraine, she


    doesn’t reciprocate your feelings. Why was she previously entwined with Marco? Because Marco used


    to be the sole CEO of the Bryant Group, far superior to you!


    If you’re satisfied with serving the Torres family, she’ll never regard you with respect. However, once


    you wield real power, the dynamics will shift. Loraine will vie for your attention, and then, you can


    choose any woman you desire!”
