Chapter 1789


    Gavin''s face was a picture of shock, “I thought your rtionship was a typical office romance. But now,


    it seems it''s a dramatic reunion after a broken rtionship!"


    Charlie seemed a bit annoyed, "A dramatic reunion implies there are cracks.


    Emily and I are a perfect match!"


    Gavin was left speechless by Charlie''s response.


    After Gavin left, Charlie called the head of the branch office, asking, "How is Elliott doing?"


    The manager, surprised by Charlie''s personal interest, immediately replied, "He''s doing quite well, sir.


    I''ve been preparing to discuss a promotion and raise for him in the uing meeting."


    Charlie''s voice was ice cold, "No need. Fire him."


    The manager was taken aback, "Fire him?"


    "Yes. Terminate his contract, andpensate ordingly as stipted. He''s dismissed” Charlie''s tone


    was firm and decisive.


    “Understood, sir"


    For the rest of the morning, Charlie reviewed documents while Kya sat next to him, engrossed in her


    drawings. The heartwarming scene made everyone who came to get his signature tread lightly.


    When Kya got tired of drawing, Charlie picked her up and let her run and y in the office. She was


    thoroughly enjoying herself.


    The James family.


    Although Kya had only been at home for a few days, Mrs. James felt empty without her. She couldn''t


    muster the energy to do anything.


    Mr. James spent some time in Kya''s yroom upstairs. When he came down, he asked Mrs. James,


    "Is the nanny we hired for Kya reliable? Is she a professional childminder?"


    "I heard she''spetent,’ Mrs. James replied nkly, then added, "I think I need to talk to Ms.


    Sullivan.


    "If you''re not going to ept her, I suggest you reconsider. It would upset Charlie," Mr. James warned


    as he sat on the couch. "Think about it. Ms.


    Sullivan gave birth to Kya abroad, and then raised her for two years. Would she willing to give Kya up?


    And from your previous conversation with her, she doesn''t seem like someone driven solely by money."


    Mrs. James was getting frustrated, “But I can''t let Charlie marry a woman from that kind of family. It


    doesn''t matter who Charlie marries, but it can''t be a girl from such a family. They are greedy and clingy.


    I can''t let Charlie be a source of gossip in J city"


    Mr. James said, "We could deal with it easier before, but now with Kya in the picture, things won''t be so


    straightforward,"


    Mrs. James suddenly remembered something, "Regarding the incident at OrbitaTech Ventures, was it


    because of Emily''s father?"


    Mr. James frowned, “Although it was because of Emily''s father, he did help to resolve it."


    “But the problem originated from him!" Mrs. James considered, "I might not need to approach Emily; I


    can talk to her family. Ask them about their thoughts on Emily''s rtionship with Charlie. Their attitude


    might give us a clue about what''s going to happen in the future"


    If the Sullivans were desperately trying to ingratiate themselves, Mrs. James couldn''t agree to this


    union, no matter what Emily said! While Emily herself wasn''t driven by money, her family seemed to


    have such tendencies, and that could lead toplications in the future.


    If the Sullivans weren''t the type to seek favor, then she would consider a different approach. At least


    she won''t embarrass Emily and her family.


    Mr. James didn''t agree with her approaching the Sullivans family directly; he believed that Charlie


    should handle this matter on his own.


    But Mrs. James couldn''t bear not seeing Kya and felt the need to take action.


    Around noon, Mrs. James called Bard and asked him to take her to the Elliott''s house.


    Through Barret''s connections at the branch office, they were able to ascertain the Sullivan''s address.


    Upon reaching their destination, Gina and Bonnie were both home. However, their expressions soured


    when they saw Bard.


    “What do you want?” Gina''s face clearly showed her displeasure.


    She recognized the man as the head of OrbitaTech Ventures. They had met at the hospital before. The


    woman apanying him, who appeared to be around fifty, exuded elegance with a well-maintained


    demeanor. It was clear she was not an ordinary person.

    Could it be that Emily couldn''t afford the losses from the fire, so thepany’s representatives had


    <pe to their home? How did they know she lives here?
