Chapter 1408


    Lina felt anxious. Zuko wanted to shield their baby from the incident, so he had forbidden her from


    visiting Renee at the hospital. To keep her upied, he had even invited Lena over.


    Naturally, Lena eagerly agreed to apany her friend. To her, Renee’s suicide attempt was like a


    ripple on a calmke—shocking at first, but the shock soon subsided. She couldn’t believe Renee


    genuinely wanted to end her life.


    Lena spected that Renee’s actions were meant to get Toph’s attention. After all, Renee hadn’t


    achieved her goals yet. Wouldn’t it be a waste for her to die like this?

    Lena brought the homemade chicken soup to the office, nning to deliver it to Lina during lunch.


    However, a colleague from another department stopped her. “You’re Lena from the sales department,


    right?”


    Lena was taken aback.


    The colleague smiled and said, “I’m Mr. Chriss’ secretary. He wants to see you in his office. Come with


    me!”


    Lena clenched her fists, her heart racing.


    Elijah’s office was below Lina’s. It was spacious, but only a couple of higher-ups worked there. His


    office had a prime location, overlooking the bustling business district and the distant ocean, just like


    Lina’s office above.


    The secretary left after escorting Lena to the office.


    Lena felt uneasy as she entered slowly.


    Elijah hadn’t gone for lunch yet—he was engrossed in a document on hisputer, reading it


    meticulously.


    “You’re here,” he said without looking up, his voice dripping with authority.


    Lena replied briefly, standing in silence until he finished reviewing the document. He showed no


    intention of inviting her to sit.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books

    “Lena?” Finally, he nced at her.


    “Yes.” She nodded.


    He wore a sly smile, resembling a cunning fox when he grinned and a cold, imposing lone wolf when


    he didn’t.


    “I don’t like beating around the bush,” he said, leaning on the chair and twirling his pen. “I called you


    here to ask… Do you have any issues with Jacquelin?”


    Lena was taken aback. Where should she begin? She had no desire to have issues with Jacquelin. It


    was thetter who refused to let her be.


    “Lena, please answer my question. My patience is limited,” he said coldly.

    Lena chuckled. “Mr. Chriss, you’re asking me this because of what happened the other day?”


    “Just answer the question.”


    “Of course,” she replied honestly. “I don’t think she’s worth my time for us to have issues, but it wasn’t


    about getting back at her that day.”


    “Then why?” he asked.


    “She’s a homewrecker.” She gazed into his eyes. “She deserves every bit of punishment for tearing


    apart someone else’s family!”


    He squinted and grinned. “You have quite the sense of justice.”


    “Mr. Chriss, I shouldn’t meddle.” She took a deep breath. “But since we’re discussing it, I must say…


    You have a wife and a kid, shouldn’t you—”


    “Daddy!” A sweet voice suddenly interrupted her.


    When she turned around, she saw a girl dressed like a princess entering cheerfully. Kasey followed


    closely behind her.
