    He barked sternly as an ominous aura surrounded his figure and was spread across the office. Edward


    could sense the rage from his boss’s figure, making his teeth chatter with fear. He red at the staff


    members who failed toplete their duties and felt the urge to scold them as well. Did they forget


    how scary the president can be when he’s mad? Things must have been too peaceful at thepany


    for a while.


    The other staff members who had chased after Hayley looked like they were about to piss their pants.


    Hayley didn’t look as brave as before either. When she exchanged gazes with Nichs’s sharp and


    cold re, goosebumps began to form all over her body. She felt as if some demonic entity was ring


    at her. However, her fear was soon reced by her anger. T


    She straightened her figure and clenched her fists as she looked directly into Nichs’s eyes. “I didn’t


    want to barge in, but I had no choice since you refused to see me,” she announced haughtily.


    Nichs’s face darkened upon hearing her words. Although she was terrified at that moment, she


    gritted her teeth and forced herself to stare back at him. Since things had ended up like this, she


    decided she would give it her all and question him directly.


    With that thought, she strode forward and mmed her hands on the table while ring at him.’ “I just


    want to know-what is it you don’t like about me? Why do you have to go against me and Stone


    Enterprise?!”


    A sinister aura surrounded Nichs’s figure as he directed his cold re at Hayley. The atmosphere in


    the office was extremely tense. When Edward sensed the air around them turning cold, he decided to


    usher the rest of the staff members out of the room so that they wouldn’t get dragged into this matter.


    But, on the other hand, he remained in the room out of a sense of responsibility. After all, he knew that


    Nichs would call him back in even if he left the room then.


    Meanwhile, Nichs had already turned his gaze away from Hayley. “What? Don’t you know the


    reason?” he asked in an icy tone. Then, he stood up from his desk before giving her a side re. “Do


    you think I don’t know about all the nasty tricks you’ve been using?”

    Fear surfaced in Hayley’s eyes when she heard what he said. Did Nichs find out about something?


    “After what you’ve done, I don’t think you’d be able to repent for your sins even if you died a thousand


    times. I’ve never taken action against you because I value the rtionship between our families. But,


    you should know your limits!” he hissed in a cial tone


    Hayley felt like an invisible blow struck her after hearing what he said. She stumbled backward as terror


    spread across her pretty face. I see… It seems like he has found out about what I’ve done… That


    exins why he’s treating the Stone Family like that. However, the more she thought about it, the more


    resentful she felt.


    “Isn’t this all about one woman? Will you ruin the rtionship between the Sawyers and the Stones


    over one woman?” She clenched her jaw as she red at Nichs. She clenched her fists so tightly


    that her knuckles had turned white.


    It felt like ayer of ice was covering Nichs’s face as he shot her a threatening re. “A woman? Did


    you forget what else you’ve done? Do you want me to tell you the reason?


    Hayley couldn’t stop herself from shuddering as she felt chills slither up her spine when she heard his


    words. “What else did I do?” she asked in an uneasy tone. Her teeth were chattering as she spoke.


    “What? Did you forget how you poisoned my grandfather?” Nichs’s voice was icy. Nothing could


    conceal the rage in him. Her face turned pale when she heard his words. He fixed his vicious re on


    her as he spoke in a dangerous tone. “You should have considered what would happen to your family


    the moment you poisoned my grandfather!”


    Hayley’s lips were trembling. She felt as if a pair of invisible hands were choking her, and she couldn’t


    seem to speak at all. She only managed a few words in the end. “I didn’t harm your grandfather


    intentionally… I just wanted to get you back… You were—”


    “That’s enough! I don’t care about your reasoning! What’s done is done!” He interrupted her words


    heartlessly. “After what you have done, you should be grateful that I’ve allowed the Stone Family a


    chance to survive.”
