Chapter 975
At that moment, a young woman around twenty-five with long dyed hair and a professional skirt walkedin from the secretary’s office, carrying a cup of coffee. She stuttered nervously, ” M-Mr. Harrison, yourcoffee.”
Kevin frowned slightly, barely concealing his annoyance. He ordered, “Leave it on the table.”
Susan, Kevin’s new assistant, was filling in for Blake. She, clearly uneasy, placed the coffee down andasked, “Mr. Harrison, is there anything else? I still have some documents to print.”novelbin
Kevin replied without looking up, “Go ahead.”
Aware of Kevin’s reputation as one of the toughest people to please at Jardin Corporation, Susanhurried out, relieved to escape his scrutiny. She knew that a single mistake could mean a scolding oreven dismissal.
As Susan left, Kevin’s voice halted her. “Have you contacted Ms. Dion yet?”
Susan reported, “Yes, Mr. Harrison, as per your instructions. Currently, she’s on a business trip. Noone, aside from you, has seen her for a while. I tried calling her but couldn’t get through.”
“Understood,” Kevin acknowledged, returning to his work.
Once alone, Kevin put down his pen and checked his phone. Apart from a few messages aboutappointments with the CEO, other company heads, and important business matters, the messages hehad sent Blake days ago remained unanswered.
Kevin, known for his efficiency, was now being blatantly ignored by Blake. The task he assigned to herwas executed disastrously. Frustrated, he sent another message: [Return within two hours or face
dismissal from Jardin Corporation.]
Meanwhile, on vacation, Blake lounged in the sun, casually responding to messages. Kevin’s suddenmessage startled her. She had saved Kevin’s contact as “Meanie.” She scoffed and cursed under herbreath, “Damn, mister. Do as you like; I don’t care! I only worked there because of Madelyn. Theovertime, the salary deductions. Forget it!”
Then, Blake blocked Kevin’s number, finally feeling at peace.
Blake’s parents were scientists under the Secret Service’s protection. Since her childhood, she hasalways been close to the Harper family. She took her mother’s surname as her father had married intothe family. Blake’s father, often labeled as living off his wife, never complained about the arrangement.
Although Blake was not as wealthy as Mya, she never felt neglected and was well cared for. As forliving expenses, she eased Mya’s family’s burden through part-time jobs.
When she returned, Blake noticed a black military vehicle parked outside the Harper residence. Shesensed something was amiss.
‘Could it be that the jerk is here?’ Blake pondered. She rushed inside, brandishing a stick. Ready toprotect Mya, she shouted, “Don’t worry, Mya. I’m here!”
Inside, Blake was met with a chilling presence. Mya, clutching a doll, hid behind Grace, trembling infear. The man before them, clad in a black uniform adorned with an eagle
insignia, exuded a terrifying aura. Blake realized something had happened in her absence and that thisman was likely the cause of Mya and Grace’s distress.
