Rhea proimed with confidence, her head held high.


    “Hmph, you’ve surely heard the rumors. Men are inexplicably drawn to ample bosoms. I’m convinced


    Marcus will be no exception. Just await the spectacle as I entice him away from your clutches.”


    And with that deration, Rhea sped away. Millie remained in a stupor for a fleeting moment, her gaze


    drifting down to her own chest.


    Did Marcus truly possess a penchant for ample bosoms?


    Was it urate that men universally favored generous proportions?


    With an eye roll and a dismissive snort, Millie mused, “Well, mine certainly isn’tcking.”


    Within the confines of the Thomas Group headquarters, Derek made his entrance into the CEO’s


    office.


    “Mr. Thomas, an incident urred this moming regarding thend in the western part of the city.”


    “What transpired?”


    The administration of thend had been entrusted to Leon under udia’s guidance. ns were


    underway to construct arge-scale shopping center in that vicinity.


    Their ongoing task involved the demolition of buildings and the relocation of their upants.


    “There was amotion during the construction process. One family disputed thepensation


    offered and consequently refused to vacate. They engaged others to obstruct the construction.”


    Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    Thepensation package was indeed in line with market standards, yet such scenarios were


    regrettablymonce.


    “How was this situation addressed?”


    “After work was temporarily halted due to the confrontation, Leon’s team confronted the instigator in a


    back alley. They resorted to force, kneeling him down and employing a degree of intimidation to


    ascertain whether he favored money or his life. Following this, construction was set to rmence in


    the afternoon.”


    Marcus’ eyes narrowed slightly as he inquired, “Coercion?”


    “Indeed.”


    Leon had executed a swift resolution, an aspect synonymous with the Thomas family’s identity. Fear


    was not a trait they embraced; decisiveness and swiftness were their hallmarks.


    This alignment with Leon’s temperament was hardly surprising, given his predisposition towards


    aggression from an early age.


    Yet, such resolutions often came with lingering consequences. Temporarypliance could evolve into


    a calcted bacsh.


    Nheless, it had nothing to do with Marcus.


    He leaned back in his chair, his fingertips massaging his throbbing temples.
