Chapter 95

Ophelia added. "If no one objects, I'll bring in a professional team to assess your strengths and assign resources. This way, you'll each have work lined up after the new year."

Back at Hastings Villa, Heather was frantic. She couldn't get through to Owen, so she swallowed her pride and tried calling Opheha, only to discover that she'd been blocked.

When Owen finally answered, he immediately started berating Heather. Learning that Nathan had been caught embezzling company funds gave him a massive headache. With the end of the year approaching, everything was a mess. "Give the phone to Emily, Owen demanded.
