Chapter 1998: Opening A New Company
Chapter 1998: Opening a New Company
Joyce returned to her study and slumped into the office chair in front of her desk. She was covered
in sweat, feeling hot and slightly annoyed, which only made her even hotter.
Originally nning to try on wedding dresses in the afternoon, she had intended to visit JK
Intelligence. But now, she had been drained of all her energy and had no desire to move. She would
have to work tomorrow. She seriously suspected that he had done this on purpose, finding every
possible way to keep her at home.
Oh well.
Joyce opened herputer and decided not to go out today. Instead, she would handle some
business online. Alisha''s shooting coach, Chinn, would arrive in the evening, so she needed to
make arrangements.
She opened her email and browsed through her messages, working for a short while.
Suddenly, the video call icon on her desktop lit up. The caller was none other than Kane.
Joyce hesitated for a moment before answering the call. On the other end of the video call, Kane''s
young, vibrant face appeared.
"Hey, sis, good afternoon!" Kane''s voice was clear and cheerful.
Joyce frowned. "It''s the middle of the night over there. Why aren''t you sleeping?"
"I can''t sleep, I miss you," Kane replied.
"Stop being cheeky. What do you want?" Joyce scolded.
"Sis, you''re not being considerate enough. I heard that Wilson and Cullen are almost a month old,
and you didn''t even inform me! I was nning to ask you in a couple of days, thinking it was your
due date. I only found out when Andres told me while we were ying online! I think I might be the
last one to know!" Kaneined.
Joyce apologized, feeling genuinely sorry. "I forgot to tell you. I gave birth a month early and was
too busy at the time. Itpletely slipped my mind."
Kane felt even more aggrieved. "You really forgot about me. You left me behind in Mufron! Not cool
at all."
Joyce couldn''t argue with that. "Sorry about that. What do you want? I''ll try to make it up to you."
Kane, relenting, said, "Never mind. Talking about it might hurt our rtionship. Sis, you look tired. Is
it because of the baby? Taking care of a newborn must be exhausting."
Joyce shook off her fatigue. However, it had nothing to do with taking care of a child. It was mostly
due to someone annoying!
"Yeah, a little bit. By the way, how is the situation at JK Intelligence and Mufron now?" she asked.
"With me there, do you really need to worry? The orders keep increasing, and three new
technologies have been implemented. Thepany is thriving. Sis, I''m considering whether to
move the headquarters back to Khebury. I don''t want to stay here alone. It''s so boring! I want to
work with you," Kane whined, pouting like a big boy.
Joyce considered it. "I''ve thought about it, too. Either way, my future will be in Khebury. But do you
really not want to inherit the family business?"
"Of course not, sis! How many times do I have to say it? I have no interest in the media. I love
computer technology. It''s my life," Kane emphasized.
"Let me think about it," Joyce nodded.
Kane was eager. "Sis, think about it quickly. I can''t wait to go back! Can I see Wilson and Cullen?"
"They''re sleeping, and I''m in the study. I was about to handle some business. How about I send you
picturester?" Joyce suggested.
Kane agreed, albeit a little disappointed. "Okay, but don''t forget."
"I won''t," Joyce assured him.
"How''s the situation over there? I heard that Jude was kidnapped some time ago but was safely
released. Is that true?" Kane suddenly turned serious.
"Yes," Joyce admitted. "That''s why I wanted you to stay in Mufron. Jude''s kidnapping is rted to
warlords. It shouldn''t affect you directly, but I''m still worried."
"I''m more worried about you! Sis, I can help if I go back!" Kane insisted. "Let me go back. I can buy
a ne ticket anytime I want. I asked for your permission because you understand why."
Joyce understood Kane''s respect for her. With Jude retiring early, she was in dire need of technical
personnel. However, she didn''t want to involve Kane. If she did, would he really be safe outside? If
the other party really wanted to harm them, what information couldn''t they find? She would have no
control over the situation.
"Kane, are you willing to do this? Open a branch in Rohomes?" Joyce''s eyes lit up. She had a
feeling that everything started in Rohomes. If she could infiltrate Rohomes, even if it was only a
temporary base, it would be better than knowing nothing.
"Rohomes? Open a branch? Right now?" Kane was very surprised. "To expand our market? We
can''t even handle the current orders. It seems unnecessary."
"It''s not for market expansion. I just have a hunch that Rohomes might have the answers I''m looking
for," Joyce didn''t reveal everything. "Darrin is one of my bodyguards and he''s in Rohomes. If you go
and open a branch, he can help you."

Kane didn''t ask too many questions. "It''s just opening a branch. No big deal. Sis, leave it to me. I
promise to support whatever you ask me to do. Whether it''s going through fire and water, I''ll be
there for you."
His sincere promise made Joyce chuckle.
"Don''t be so dramatic. Where''s the fire and water? I wouldn''t dare to ask you to do anything unsafe.
Opening a branch, contacting some clients, and handling a few orders. That''s it," she rified.
"Got it, sis. I understand. I know you want to gather information about Rohomes through the branch.
Don''t worry, Media is my family''s specialty. I have connections and information channels. It won''t be
difficult for me. I can even set up thepany directly in our family''s Rohomes Media Building. I''ll
have contacts and stay low-key," Kane reassured.
"Great idea," Joyce agreed. "I''ll contact Darrinter to help you."
"Okay!" Kane gestured.
"I have to go. I have work to do. Goodbye," Joyce waved and ended the video call.
At that moment, Luther gently pushed open the door to the study.
