286 Blame Keera

At this moment, Cindy was in the office coquettishly complaining to Howard about her grievances. “I just want to live in a villa, and your son wants to be born in

one too.”

Howard said, “Okay, I’ll go back and discuss it with her again.”

Cindy blinked and said, “Yeah, you should go back and discuss it with her. After all, she’s the owner of the

villa! The villa is under her name.”

She knew exactly how to infuriate Howard.

As expected, these words immediately provoked him, and Howard retorted. “Hers? That’s mine! I’m the head of the household! Haven’t you seen that I call the shots with everything at the company? Tonight, you’re coming home with me, and you’ll settle down in the villa with peace of mind!”

Seeing his reaction, Cindy quickly said, “Wouldn’t your wife be unhappy and kick us out? Didn’t she kick me

out last time?”

“She wouldn’t dare!”

Howard lifted his chin defiantly.

It was at this moment that someone knocked on the office door and entered, handing him the letter. “Mr. Smith, someone just delivered this! They say we haven’t submitted the research and development proposal on time, and Davis Corporation has sued us! They’re demanding we compensate them twenty million according to the contract!”

“What?!”

Cindy let out a shocked exclamation, looking incredulously at the indictment.

Howard dismissed it with a wave of his hand. “It must

be a mistake on their part. Mary is so good to Keera.

How could they sue us!”

He looked at his secretary, “But on the R&D

department’s end, the proposal wasn’t submitted on time, was it?”

The secretary immediately replied, “Mr. Smith, our core staff member in the R&D department was poached last month. He came to you asking for a raise,
