Instantly, the dining table became silent.Chloe glanced at her father and sister in turn and shrank her neck, trying to minimize her presence. Autin and Caitlin didn't dare make any noise either. Both of them knew clearly what was going on, so they lowered their heads and shrank their bodies out of sight."Father, I-" Clarita was speechless."Why, aren't you also my daughter? Compared to Chloe, you're more suitable for that position. However, for now, you're still second only to me. Clarita, you're no longer a child. Are you going to keep playing around like this forever?" Mr. Zay's gaze dimmed slightly, and looked at Clarita helplessly.He loved his children dearly, but they were always playing with the limits of his patience. The dilemma of being a single parent made him sometimes think it would be better if his children had an understanding and caring nature.Clarita was stunned. She pulled her gaze away and looked down, playing with her hands on her thighs. "Father.""I'm not for

However, Felix didn't care. He remained focused on his food without even looking at the girl in front of him.That, of course, made the girl a little annoyed. Her beautifully drawn eyebrows twitched slightly but then calmed down with a charming smile that filled her beautiful face. "Hey, look at me!""Let's get acquainted! On a normal day, I rarely have the initiative to ask people out, but you're different." As she spoke, the girl moved her body forward until her chest was pressed against the table. Her delicate hands stretched forward, moving to stroke the table in a seductive motion. "Just by catching a glimpse of you, I'm already stunned. What is your name, and where is your house? Can I play there?"Felix's hand movements instantly stopped. He swallowed the food and raised his gaze, looking at the girl in front of him flatly. "Aren't you here to eat?"Instead of feeling embarrassed or scared, the girl widened her smile. She tucked her well-groomed hair behind her ear and said, "E

"Watch out!" shouted the girl in the arms of the Thug Chief.Felix's instincts had sharpened since he had improved his physique without even being told by the girl in front of him.He ducked and spun around, grabbing the wrist of the thug who had attacked him. "Only a coward would dare to attack an enemy from behind."The thug didn't care. He hit Felix's stomach with his other hand, causing Felix to jump back. He took advantage of this to stab Felix with a vicious move. However, Felix moved quickly to the side and kicked his hand, knocking the dagger away. Then, Felix grabbed the thug's hand and twisted it to press it against his neck.With his breath catching, Felix looked at the troubled girl with tears in her eyes and then turned to the thug chief. "You loved them like family, but you dragged them into a dark and endless vortex of suffering.""Let him go, or I'll kill this girl!" Anxiety and anger mixed, making the Thug Chief feel frustrated.He looked at one of his me who was stil

As Felix and Ardo walked towards their table, a mocking exclamation sounded from the other end. "Whoa, look, who's here? Tsk tsk tsk! After being absent from work for days, he's now casually coming in as if the company is his. How amazing! An honorable employee is back at work!"Felix's pace didn't slow down at all when he heard this string of words. Instead, he casually sat down in his chair and started to turn on his computer.Ardo, on the other hand, stopped his steps and looked at Bella with obvious displeasure. "Bella, stop bothering Felix. Everything he does has nothing to do with you. Even if he goes on vacation for a month, it doesn't have any impact on you."Bella's face became ugly. Her brows furrowed, and her eyes became sharp. She kicked the table vigorously and stood up. "Nothing to do with me? Hey! It doesn't matter if he's not part of the marketing division. When he comes into this division, then we're all one team. Everyone has their duties, and if he's not around, who

Ardo, who was pushed into the room, was startled and almost fell as he tripped over his feet. But a hand suddenly reached out to help him before he could control himself.Ardo instantly felt embarrassed. He straightened up and said, "Thank you."However, as soon as he raised his head, his eyes widened. His body felt stiff, and his throat choked.Haris was no less surprised. His mouth was even half open with heavy breathing.The atmosphere in the room instantly became quiet.Diana, who was on the gurney, could not see Ardo's figure because Haris's large body blocked it. So she said, "Why are you silent? Let's get the boy to sit down! He's a guest brought by Felix."Her weak voice filled the room. Ardo's reddened eyes trembled softly. He wanted to say something, but no words could come from his lips. The same was true for Haris.Seeing that both remained motionless, Diana tried to straighten her body with difficulty. "Hey! What are you doing standing there like statues? Honey, tell him
