After the divorce, he begged

Jeffrey’s words caught everyone’s attention, and all eyes turned toward them. Rebecca’s heart sank. ‘He’s doing this on purpose,‘ Rebecca thought to herself.

“Should I keep it here, or do you want to take it yourself?” Jeffrey asked when she didn’t respond.

“I’ll take it,” Rebecca replied, casually taking it from him to make it look like the most natural thing. “Otherwise, Jane will blame me.” Rebecca played it off as if the key was just part of her work duties.

Jeffrey’s eyes were still fixed on her. Rebecca couldn’t help but feel her nerves on edge. She unconsciously tensed up.

Right now, if Jeffrey said this wasn’t a company key but her home key, everyone would start guessing about their relationship. People might say something was going on between them, or worse, they might figure out they were actually married.

“You are so careless,” Jeffrey said, deciding not to expose the truth at the last second to save her from embarrassment. “You’re representing more than just yourself—you’re also representing Jane.”

“Understood,” Rebecca said, sounding obedient as ever.

Jeffrey didn’t say anything else. He told everyone to go find the one who was responsible for them, then left the gaming department and headed up to the CEO’s office on the eighth floor.

This time, aside from bringing Rebecca over, he’d come to take a look at the branch and assess each department’s performance.

Stephen was in charge of the Honnala branch. After Stephen pulled that stunt, Jeffrey figured it was time to take a closer look at his business abilities.

“All the managers and directors are waiting in the conference room,” Gregory reported, clutching his laptop. “Except for the gaming department, every department spoke to Stephen on the phone last night.”

Jeffrey asked, “How did Stephen react?”

Gregory replied, “He didn’t show any reaction. He just told everyone to give an honest report and let us do the inspection.”

Jeffrey wasn’t the least bit surprised by Gregory’s answer. Stephen was always meticulous in his work, never leaving any room for mistakes, and his ability to manage the company was every bit as strong as Jeffrey’s.

The main reason Stephen lost out to Jeffrey in the battle for inheritance was that, at the time, Stephen had too many reservations and wasn’t willing to take risks, while Jeffrey, driven by stubborn resolve, took a bold leap.

In the end, Jeffrey secured the ultimate decision–making power in the Hanson Group.

The two of them were about to step into the conference room when Jeffrey’s phone buzzed. Seeing the caller, he picked up without hesitation. “What is it?”
