After an exhausting seven-hour surgery, Derek was finally wheeled out of the operating room. The sun


    was just starting to rise.


    Marcus, his face etched with worry and determination, approached the chief surgeon and asked, “How


    is he?”


    The surgeon, removing his mask, answered, “Mr. Thomas, the surgery went very well. However, the


    patient was severely injured. Whether he recovers or not now depends on his fate.”


    Marcus’ voice was resolute as he said, “Regardless of anything, we must bring him back.”


    The doctor, feeling the weight of Marcus’ determination, took a moment before suggesting, “I


    rmend transferring him to a medical facility overseas. The medical expertise there is more


    advanced and would likely be more beneficial for his condition. If you agree, I can coordinate with a


    foreign hospital right away.”


    Without a moment’s hesitation, Marcus instructed, “Then make the arrangements at once.”


    “Okay, the doctor responded.


    Under Marcus’ intense pressure, the arrangements to transfer Derek to a foreign hospital were made


    swiftly.


    A dedicated vehicle carrying Derek was soon en route to the airport.

    Marcus, with Millie at his side, returned to thepany.


    As Millie entered the design department, she noticed that Nancy was away from her desk.


    Other than her and Nancy, the department was empty.


    What was Nancy doing at her desk? Millie’s suspicion grew as she pondered the unusual behavior.


    “Good morning.” Nancy greeted as she walked past, her demeanor cold.


    Millie shook her head, choosing to ignore her. She settled at her own desk, noticing the slightly


    disorganized materials.


    They had been neatly arranged when she left yesterday. Nancy must have tampered with her


    materials.


    It dawned on Millie that Nancy must have been trying to gain insight into the jewelry designs for Miss


    Fairclough’s wedding. However, Millie frequently took her work home, keeping it out of prying eyes.


    Her phone chimed, and she received a message from Grace.


    “Millie, I’lle and wait for you downstairs at yourpany at noon,” it read.


    Grace’s concern touched Millie, and she quickly replied, “Okay,e over. Let’s go eat at the dessert


    ce downstairs together.”


    Meanwhile, in the CEO’s office, Marcus stood surveying the approved documents on his desk. A frown


    creased his brow as he dialed an internal. Line.


    “Mr. Thomas,” came the immediate response.


    “Come up here for a moment.”


    Less than a minuteter, Trenton Torres appeared in the CEO’s office, standing at attention.
