Logan had always been impartial towards the younger generation of the Farrell family. Right and wrong were clear in his heart. Today, Vivienne’s offense wasn’t merely against Tina; it was more significant. As the head of thepany’s jewelry design department, she represented thepany’s image. Being exposed for lying in front of so many people warranted dismissal to avoid a devastating blow to thepany, especially with important business partners present. Had Vivienne been humble enough to seek advice, she wouldn’t have ended up this way. Seeing Logan’s demeanor, Vivienne knew her fate was sealed. There was no returning to thepany for her.
Vivienne pursed her lips and said, “Grandfather, keep the money for yourself.” After speaking, she grabbed her bag and turned to leave. After she left, Jared remained seated in the living room, silent. Logan nced at him several times before finally striking his leg with his cane, “You rascal, what exactly happened tonight?” Jared rubbed his leg, “It’s nothing, Grandfather. Don’t worry.” Despite his age, Logan still had strength.
Blowing on his beard, Logan continued, “When the incident urred, I had already left the hall with Si Yun. I heard a faint explosion and called Vivienne to handle it. She said it was a car ident.” Jared’s lips curled slightly, “It was indeed a car ident, but it’s been resolved.” Hearing this, Logan didn’t ask further and, leaning on his cane, returned to his room to sleep.
Jared was also nning to rest but then saw Orson sneakily lying at the top of the stairs. “Haven’t you had enough jumping?” Jared asked coldly. Orson shook his head repeatedly, “Brother, that… is Tina really Hawk’s top trainer?” “Didn’t you see her in the lounge earlier?” Jared raised an eyebrow. Orson felt as if his brain had exploded like it had been struck by lightning. His brother had admitted it; the matter was undoubtedly true! “Save me! What have I done to my idol!” he thought. “I’m going back to my room,” he said, no longer wanting to speak to his beloved brother. Furious for not being told earlier, Orson trudged back to his room, extremely disappointed. Jared watched him go, considering for the first time to take his brother for a brain check.
At the TCLb, Lily’s experiment failed again. She mmed everything to the ground in frustration. Why couldn’t she make a breakthrough? After so much time, all experiments had ended in failure; how long would it take to develop the virus? “Director, are you alright?” researchers asked, knocking on the door. “I’m fine, you can leave,” Lily shouted back angrily, slowly closing her eyes. The noises outside the door gradually subsided until thest sound of a punch card, leaving Lily alone in theb. A fear slowly spread throughout her body.
Jasper had already been captured; why was she still working for them? Suddenly, herb door opened. Lily picked up a dagger hidden on the table, holding it defensively in front of her. A figure in a ck coat and a masked hat entered, dressed exactly like Jasper used to. Lily stepped back, “Mr… Mr. White.” Mr. White walked in, flicked his finger, and effortlessly knocked the dagger from Lily’s hand.
“Don’t point such dangerous things at me,” came a voice, altered by a special device, tinged with a hint of chill.
Lily swallowed, unconsciously stepping back.This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.
Mr. White, however, paid her no mind, merely ncing at the shattered experimental apparatus on the floor and the scattered data on the table. He frowned, “Had I known you were so useless, you might as well have died in prison.”
Lily felt her breath catch, her legs giving way as she fell to her knees. “I… I will continue to strive and never disappoint you, sir. Please, spare me,” she begged.
Mr. White looked over coldly, a trace of disdain shing in his eyes. “I’ll give you one more month. If you still haven’t seeded by then, don’t me me for being merciless.”
With that, Mr. White disappeared like a gust of wind, as if he had never been there.
Lily slumped to the floor, drained, as cold sweat imperceptibly soaked her entire body.
At some point, her phone had fallen to the ground and suddenly lit up.
On it was a news notification.
“Mr. Jared Farrell’s fiancee Tina Reed turns out to be Master Irene! How many identities does Mrs. Farrell have…”
Lily stared at Tina’s name on the screen, her eyes growing fiercer.
Tina!
It was all because of Tina that she had ended up in this situation!
If not for her, Jared would have been hers, and the position of Mrs. Farrell too!
All because of that wretched woman!
Lily picked up a dagger from the ground and viciously stabbed the phone screen.
Again and again, each thrust filled with boundless hatred.
Not until the phone was split in two did she stop.
Raising her head again, Lily had regained herposure.
She stood up, changed into her regr clothes, and left theb.
The next day.
Tina slept until the sun was high, exhausted from the past few days but grateful for the chance to catch up on sleep today.
Upon opening her eyes, she saw a mass of messages on her phone.
‘Tina, are you up?’ ‘Tina, what do you want to eat?’ ‘Tina, I miss you so much!!!’ ‘Tina…’ Among the flood of messages, she finally spotted one from ‘Serena’.
Tina clicked it to find a picture sent by Jayden.
He had used a newly learned disguise technique to transform himself into Ember Saffron.
“Serena, I’ve pretty much mastered the disguise skill, should we still keep them?”
Tina considered. Callum Maguire and Snow Judd were quite skilled; keeping them at Mountain Veil Order seemed useful.
So she replied, “Mutual benefit, teach them some of our tricks, having extra hands isn’t bad.”
“Alrighty, also, Serena, Fatty lost Wraith again.”
Typical, even that could be lost.
Tina texted back, “Let him figure it out himself.”
After replying, Tina sent a video to Jared.
Meanwhile, the doorbell rang outside.
She opened the door to find Jared ying with Zackary with LEGO.
A sh of surprise crossed Tina’s eyes, “Uncle?”
“I took Bobby and your parents to see a psychologist, I was a bit worried,” Jared began, only to see Tina already indulging in the strawberry cake on the table.
Jared, “…”
So it wasn’t for me.
He sighed silently, “We’ll head over in a bit, just wait at home.”
Tina nodded repeatedly, “Okay, go ahead.”
That’s it!
He had no time to pay her any more attention.
As Jared left with Hugo’s family, Elsa emerged from the bedroom.
