Chapter 41: Sending Abbie Home


    Chapter 41: Sending Abbie Home


    If not for "Mr. X" appearing at just the right time, there would have been no way for Kelvin to make it


    on his own.


    As soon as Cody finished speaking, others in thepany began whispering, causing chaos once


    again.


    Just then, the tightly closed office door suddenly opened, revealing a tall and handsome man


    standing before them all. His short, slightly disheveled hair clung to his face.


    His charming eyes were dark and cold, making it difficult for anyone to look directly at him. Despite


    the mud and water stains on his white shirt, the man exuded an air of nobility.


    He strode forward, tossing his suit jacket onto the back of his chair with precision. Sitting down


    elegantly, he surveyed the room before speaking in a low voice, "Let''s begin."


    The people who had been expressing their dissatisfaction moments ago all fell silent, heads bowed


    as they focused on their files.


    Only Cody still seemed unhappy about Kelvin being an hourte to today''s meeting. He raised his


    head to stare straight at Kelvin and asked, "Shouldn''t you exin why you''rete?"


    Kelvin''s gaze sharpened instantly upon hearing this question.


    With just one nce from him, Cody felt a chill run down his spine but stood up straight


    nheless, strong andposed as he met Kelvin''s stare head-on.


    Kelvin suddenly mmed the file in front of him onto the table with a loud thud that echoed


    throughout the conference room.


    Although it wasn''t very loud, everyone could hear it clearly.


    "I don''t have to exin anything to you," Kelvin said coldly. "If you don''t want to stay for this


    meeting, then leave."


    Cody was so angry that his face turned pale. After all, he was the secondrgest shareholder in this


    company!


    When the Foley Group was founded, the Berry family was one of the five founding members. His


    older brother, Foster Berry, died in the line of duty, leaving behind a sickly daughter named Abbie,


    who had been around Kelvin for so many years without being acknowledged. He was constantly


    suppressed by Kelvin in thepany. With all this in mind, how could Cody not be angry. The Foley


    family never even considered them as part of their own.


    "Mr. Foley, even if you don''t exin it to me, you should exin it to all shareholders here. We''ve


    wasted an hour for nothing!" Cody spoke up fearlessly once again.


    Upon hearing this, Kelvin nced at other shareholders and gave a faint smile.


    "Do others think I need to exin?" This smile made people shudder with fear.


    They would rather see Mr. Foley get angry than see him smile like that because it felt extremely


    dangerous.


    "No, no, no, there must be a reason why Mr. Foley iste. Time is running out; let''s start our


    meeting quickly."


    "Yes! Mr. Foley seems exhausted from rushing here too."


    "Mr. Foley, let''s start our meeting now. It''s about time for lunch break but we really need your input


    on our work."


    The ttery filled the conference room, making Chris feel sick to his stomach. These people were so


    fake and insincere.


    Earlier, when Mr. Foley hadn''t arrived yet, they had all been echoing with Cody about needing an


    exnation. But now they were all ttering Mr. Foley.


    Kelvin raised his hand expressionlessly and ordered everyone to stop speaking. He announced in a


    cold voice, "Since we all agree that time is valuable, let''s start the meeting now. Chris, turn on the


    projector for the slides."


    "Yes, Mr. Foley," Chris replied.


    Today''s meeting was much faster-paced than usual and not as long-winded. In fact,pared to


    other meetings they had attended before, they''d rather attend meetings hosted by Mr. Foley, which


    didn''t drag on forever just toe up with a conclusion.

    However, Mr. Foley''s presence was always too strong for them; they often needed to be fully alert


    just to keep up with him.


    When it was time for work hours to end, Kelvin summarized what needed attention again before


    announcing that everyone could leave now that their tasks had been assigned.


    There was an obvious sigh of relief from everyone in attendance who then left one by one from the


    conference room.


    Cody remained silent throughout the entire process, but it seemed like he had something to say as


    he dragged his feet to leave.


    Kelvin lifted his head and looked at him with cold, sharp eyes. "Is there anything else that Mr. Berry


    needs rification on?"


    Under Kelvin''s stare, Cody couldn''t vent his frustration and answered through gritted teeth, "It''s just


    a personal matter. Since my niece has returned home, I want to pick her up tonight and bring her


    back home. It wouldn''t be right to disturb Mr. Foley."


    Cody thought, ''Since Kelvin has divorced for Abbie''s sake, he must have some feelings for Abbie.


    As long as I can control Abbie, I can also control Kelvin.''


    But unexpectedly, Kelvin nodded without hesitation. "That''s right. Chris, notify Abbie and tell her to


    pack her bags."


    "Okay," Chris replied.


    This left Cody bewildered.


    Shouldn''t Mr. Foley express some courtesy or show some hesitation?


    But instead of that expected reaction from Kelvin, he simply nodded nonchntly.


    Cody couldn''t understand Kelvin; although Kelvin was more than twenty years younger than himself


    in age, Kelvin was much more scheming than he expected.


    "Alright then, thank you very much for letting my niece go."


    Chris snorted disdainfully and thought, ''Mr. Foley hasn''t restricted Miss Berry freedom at all! It''s


    Miss Berry who went to thepany with Mr. Foley once she returned home. Mr. Foley had no


    choice but to temporarily send her to the vi. Surprisingly, she settled infortably and even


    acted like the mistress of the house by changing up the room''s decor.''


    It was just a small matter of spending some money. The vi had plenty of rooms, so Kelvin went


    along with it.


    However, most of the time Kelvin actually lived in his bachelor apartment.


    It was a small ce that he and Cheyenne bought near downtown after they got married. It was


    only about three hundred square feet in size.


    It was close to hispany and made it convenient for him tomute.


    Abbie wanted to live in the apartment with him, but Kelvin said he didn''t like being disturbed and


    refused her request.


    She had no choice but to request to live in Cheyenne''s old room instead.


    Kelvin instinctively frowned when she asked. "How about you pick another room? Don''t you love


    reading? There''s an empty room next to my study that you can stay in."


    The study?


    Wasn''t that close to Kelvin''s bedroom?


    Abbie agreed anyway without knowing that Kelvin never really stayed at the vi. He only went


    there asionally with Cheyenne.


    He leftter that night. The study was just for show; all of its books such as romance novels and


    comic books belonged to Cheyenne.
