Chapter 244

“I haven’t met them, but their story is kind of well–known in our circle, Jessica said, picking up on the fact that Rebecca wasn’t big on gossip and deciding to give her the scoop. “They tried to mess with the relationship between Charlotte and her brother, but it totally blew up in their faces.

Rebecca nodded, signaling that she got the gist.

She’d heard snippets about the Pierce family from her mom before.

There are only two kids in the younger generation of the Pierce family: the older brother and the younger sister. Everyone in their circle knows that Ms. Jensen and her brother don’t really get along.

Brian and Jasmine were probably hoping to get on William’s good side by bringing Charlotte down a notch.

After all, compared to Charlotte, who hardly ever bothers showing up at work, William–the CEO of Pierce Group–is the real asset here.

But what they didn’t see coming was that, while Charlotte and William seem at odds on the surface, when outsiders come poking around, those siblings always team up together.

“Just keep an eye on those two from now on,” Jessica said, giving her a heads–up. “I’m not always around, so stay wary, and steer clear of them whenever you can.”

Rebecca nodded. “Okay.”

“Let’s move somewhere more private so we won’t be bothered,” Jessica said, knowing Rebecca liked a quieter vibe.

Rebecca was just about to say yes when a stylish woman in a crisp white suit, high heels, and sleek long hair walked up to them. She called out, “Rebecca?”

Rebecca nodded. “Yeah.”

She recognized her immediately.

According to the Quinn family files, Max Quinn, CEO of the Quinn Group, had a personal assistant named Winston–a woman whose reputation for efficiency was well–known.

“Mr. Quinn would like to see you,” Winston said, all business and keeping a professional distance. “He has something important to discuss.”

Rebecca nodded. “Okay.”

She’d barely taken two steps with Jessica when Winston spoke up again. “Mr. Quinn wants you to come alone.”

Jessica’s brows knitted with concern.

Rebecca shot her a reassuring look. “It’s fine.”
