Ryan had never been involved in the company's operations because he worked for the government. This was his first time entering the Carousel Group headquarter. Also, he had brought a group of subordinates with him

"What brings you here, Ryan? | can handle it all. You can go back home now." Jennie appeared nervous, fearful that Ryan would ruin his career on impulse

"It's okay, Mom," Ryan said, clutching his mother's hand

"This is an internal meeting of the group's board members, Mr. Tyler

Why did you suddenly break in with government officials? What do you want? Let me tell you, what you're doing is illegal!" One of the board members said to Ryan in dissatisfaction

"| haven't told you what Fm going to do yet. Why are you accusing me? If you really think I'm abusing my power, please report me. | am willing to accept all investigations," Ryan turned to face everyone and said, "| brought people here today because the Carousel Group is suspected of disrupting the stock market. So, | need all of you to cooperate with the investigation. The group's operations will be halted until the investigation is over."

Hearing that, everyone was shocked. Then another board member stood up and snapped, "No way! The Carousel Group is a publicly traded corporation. So, if we stop all of our operations, we will lose a large sum of money every day. The group paid a lot of money every day to keep it running. And we will not be able to survive a week if we suspend all of our operations. You're threatening us!"

Late at night, a cab pulled up in front of a grocery store in the town near where the incident occurred. After that, Tammy, Alicia, and Natalie stepped out of the cab

"Can you stay here and wait for us?" Tammy asked the driver

The driver pressed his hand against the window and asked, "How long do you want me to wait for you? It's quite a distance from downtown Birmingham."

Tammy handed him some cash from her purse. She said, "Will this make you change your mind? I'll give you more if you stay here for us."

The driver was taken aback. He thought, You must come froma rich family. Didn't your parents ever tell you not to show strangers how rich you were? You should feel lucky that I'm not a bad guy

With that in mind, the driver answered, "I'm not interested in your money, so keep it to yourself. I'll be waiting for you here. Please come back soon."

Smiling, the girls all thanked him gratefully. The driver then put on his sunglasses and leaned back in his seat. Gradually, he was lost in thought

By the time the three of them arrived at the town, it was already getting dark. As they walked in the town, Alicia clutched Tammy's arm
