Chapter 256 The Culprit.

Connor had booked a nearby hotel. He ensured Madison was settled in bed before checking his reflection in the bathroom mirror and noticing his face was covered in bruises.

Connor felt somewhat relieved. Thankfully, I'll be busy lately, so my injury should heal when the team-building event comes around. How embarrassing would I be if I were to meet Lenora with this facet

There were no pharmacies around, and the hotel didn't have any ointment for bruises and injuries either.

Connor had ordered a box online and was now waiting for the delivery.

He was seated in a chair, scrolling through his phone.

Suddenly, Madison, on the bed, murmured fearfully as if she were having a nightmare. "S-Stay away. N-

No

Connor hastily put down his phone and sat by the edge of the bed, gently comforting, "It's all right now, The bad guys are gone."

Madison slowly opened her eyes, and suddenly, she threw herself into Connor's arms, sobbing in agony.

Connor paused for a moment, attempting to push Madison away. "You

Madison, however, didn't let go. He held onto Connor even tighter, weeping sorrowfully. "I'm so scared.... I'm really so scared.

Connor hesitated for a moment, then slowly withdrew his hand. She's probably terrified and feels no sense of security. Pushing her away now will be very cruel. Forget it. I'll let her hold on for a bit if that's what she wants. On the day of the team-building event, all the employees, accompanied by a family member, gathered at the company's main entrance.

Sophia parked her car on the side of the road in a temporary parking space and stepped out of the vehicle.

Lenora, wearing a mask, got out of the passenger seat.

She wasn't truly in love with Connor, so she never mentioned it to Sophia. It was only last night that Sophia found out about this. Under intense questioning. Lenora had no choice but to brush that matter off vaguely The two of them walked together toward the entrance of the company.

Several employees and their families were already waiting.

Connor was squatting on the stairs, holding two servings of bread and soy milk.

His eyes darted around the room until they landed on Lenora and Sophia. Immediately, he jumped to his feet and hurried over to them, unable to hide the delight on his face. "Lenora Sophia, you're here too"

Sophia gave Connor a playful punch on his shoulder. "Well done, Connor. You've won over Nora so swiftly. You better treat her right in the future, understand?"
