Sienna Quinn rubbed her palms together incessantly as she spoke, a mischievous grin on her face. Evan Quinn chuckled dryly twice, secretly thinking how close it was.
Taking back his phone, he was relieved that he had already deleted the information inside. Otherwise, he really wouldn’t know how to explain it to Sienna. Breathing a sigh of relief, he set down the documents in his little hand and gave Sienna a playful smile. That innocent little face made Sienna doubt if she had been overthinking just now.
After dropping Evan off at kindergarten, Sienna returned to the company. Sean Carter placed a rush document on the table, looking a bit anxious.
"For you to show this expression, could it be that something big has happened?" Sienna smiled brightly as she spoke. Despite the smile on her face, anything that could make Sean Carter show this expression was not simple. Without saying a word, both returned to the office. Sean Carter suspiciously assessed Sienna up and down, always feeling that there was something different about her aura these days, although he couldn’t pinpoint what it was.
"HR Group suddenly moved up the review to three days later."
"So urgent?" Sienna frowned. Ever since their proposal was stolen by Lawson Group last time, they had been working day and night to produce a plan even more stunning than before. Moreover, the factories under Lawson Group and Yates Group were about the same in workmanship. Even if Jason led a team to inspect the factories, they wouldn’t be able to find any differences. After all, they are first-class groups and can ensure quality.
But this plan is different.
"Let’s have everyone put in a little extra effort these days. If we can secure the deal with HR Group, year-end bonuses will increase." Time is tight now, and if no effort is made, they are sure to fail. A failure in cooperation would have a significant impact on all plans for the second half of the year.
Although Yates Group’s influence in France is increasing, they haven’t expanded to other countries’ markets yet. Sienna’s objective this time is to secure this business.
Of course, there’s another layer of meaning.
"Are you really going to take action this time?"
"Of course. Since we’re taking action, we must muddy the waters without anyone noticing. It’s been too quiet here these years, almost eerily quiet."
Looking at that cold little face, Sean Carter sighed and gently patted Sienna’s shoulder, "No matter the suffering you endured back then, we will help you get justice. But this is a double-edged sword, so don’t hurt yourself in the process."
The sound of her cool laughter made the warm air around them drop a few degrees. The woman raised her head and looked at Sean Carter sitting right in front, "We’ve come a long way together over the years. After enduring for this long, I must make certain people pay, no matter what."
"But I’m afraid you’ll get caught up in it yourself." Sean Carter’s expression grew more solidified. When he returned to the country, Felix Orwell repeatedly reminded him to avoid too much contact with Landon Lawson. However, the very first task upon returning home is to compete with Landon Lawson for HR Group’s business.
Even though Sienna hasn’t seen him in five years, that layer of emotion can’t be eradicated with time. He’s afraid this contact will lead her to fall into Landon’s embrace again, like a drunk person falling into a lake without any ability to fight back.
Sienna chuckled softly, a look of weariness flashing across her young face. Despite her youth, she displayed such an expression, making Sean Carter feel a bit heartache. Clearly, they were about the same age, yet it seemed Sienna had experienced so much more.
"How could I get caught up? My only aim now is revenge, to make those people pay the price they deserve. As for Landon Lawson, I just hope Chloe can have fatherly love, that’s all."
Is it really like that? Sienna herself hesitated in her heart.
These days, the interactions with Landon Lawson have become more frequent, and her feelings for him have grown ambiguous. She vigorously shook her head, trying to cast all hesitations out of her mind.
"How’s the Grant Group doing?" Newest update provided by novèlfire.net
"Miles Grant, although a doctor, holds significant influence within the family business. It’s already confirmed that if Lawson Group can secure the cooperation with HR Group, they will collaborate with Grant Group and earn a share of the profit."
As soon as Sean Carter returned to the country, he began secretly investigating the Grant Group. Miles from the Grant family, although a lead surgeon, his family is next in line to Lawson Group’s enterprise. Although not comparable to Lawson Group, since Landon Lawson took over Lawson Group, their business dealings with Grant Group have become increasingly frequent.
Sienna had anticipated this HR Group cooperation from the start.
But she never got confirmation.
The people she always wanted revenge against from the onset were Miles Grant and Vera Yates. These two are a conniving pair.
"I’ll work overtime for the next three days to ensure that Lawson Group doesn’t secure this cooperation." Sean Carter nodded in agreement. He returned to the country with Sienna to be her right-hand man.
Sienna’s long, narrow eyes gradually squinted as everything was just beginning.
A few paparazzi squatted at the entrance of the kindergarten, exchanging glances, and saw a hint of shock in each other’s eyes, "You came too?"
"Yeah, I came too. I got an anonymous tip-off saying we could capture what we want here." The group squatted together, but they weren’t very interested in the upcoming scoop, appearing quite impatient. Initially, they thought today’s event would be an exclusive report, but now two other outlets had shown up, changing the atmosphere considerably.
Time ticked by, and the group grew increasingly impatient.
"Is the whistleblower’s information even genuine? We’ve been here all day, and there’s no sign of what they promised." One of them grumbled, rubbing his tired eyes. They’ve been staking out here, which is exhausting and mentally wearing, needing full attention, yet they’ve found nothing, his tone laced with impatience.
"Whatever, we’re here already. If we don’t catch anything soon, we might as well leave." Another person was equally impatient, recognizing the fake tips often encountered in their line of work, and the frequent times they waited but caught nothing.
Just as they were about to give up and conclude it was a wasted trip, they noticed cars gradually gathering at the kindergarten entrance. The three exchanged glances, suddenly reenergized. If they didn’t find any scoop by the time people dispersed, then they really would have missed it.
Just as they were exchanging glances, a familiar car appeared within their sight.
