“You act as though you’re always in the right,” Ryan retorted, his face red with fury.


    “You’re endangering thepany. The Thomas Group has filed awsuit. How do you intend to handle


    that?”


    Had Ryan been able to release that work earlier, he would not have hesitated. Why had he waited for


    Humphrey to take action?


    He was reluctant to further strain his rtionship with Millie. With the release of her work, she would be


    livid, no doubt considering them utterly without shame.


    “I’ve already prepared the drafts, and I’m unafraid of awsuit.


    After all, we were the first to publish it. We have the upper hand,” said Humphrey, his voice filled with


    confidence.


    Ryan swiveled his chair and sat, his dark eyes narrowing into slits.


    Since Millie’s departure, thepany had struggled to produce substantial works, dimming its once


    brilliant reputation in the jewelry industry.

    “Don’t worry, Ryan. We’ll undoubtedly win thiswsuit. Even if they present their drafts, we have our


    evidence,” Humphrey reassured.


    Ryan lit a cigarette and nced at Humphrey, his expression hard.


    “The damage is done. Under these circumstances, we can’t afford to lose this case. Prepare yourself


    well,” he instructed, his voice firm.

    From another viewpoint, winning thiswsuit would deal a serious blow to both Thomas Group and


    Marcus. After all, Thomas Group had never known defeat, no matter the legal battle.


    “Rest assured, Ryan,” Humphrey stated with confidence.


    “Alright, Leave now,” Ryan said, flicking ash from his cigarette.


    As Humphrey walked towards the door, he turned back, his curiosity piqued.


    “Ryan, what were you doing overseas these past few days?”


    It was odd for Ryan to have traveled abroad for several days, especially when thepany had no


    international business.


    That night, when Ryan made a phone call and Humphrey overheard a woman’s voice, his interest was


    further aroused.


    “Just meeting someone,” Ryan responded.


    “Was it a woman?”


    “Yes.” Ryan looked up, his eyes meeting Humphrey’s, an impatient edge to his voice.


    Humphrey’s curiosity grew. Since Rosa’s passing, there had been no significant women in Ryan’s life to


    justify a special trip overseas.


    “You should prepare for thewsuit,” Ryan finally said.


    Ryan understood what Humphrey was implying, yet the idea of being interested in that woman was


    inconceivable. She was simply a useful contact.
