Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 1374 Taking Decisive Action

"But if we stop now, we'll be throwing away everything we've accomplished," Ryan protested. It was clear he didn't want to give up on this opportunity. After all, such chances were rare, and who knew when the next one would come along.

"No, I'm ordering you right now. Halt all actions. If you don't comply, I'll stop cooperating with you in the future. Think it over." Kendrick's voice was firm as he spoke, interrupting Ryan's attempt to convince him further. With that, Kendrick hung up the phone.

Kendrick stared at his computer screen, feeling a mix of annoyance and confusion. It seemed like both Benjamin and Colton had become aware of his existence and had unearthed his past identity. Although he had concealed his identity as the sole heir of the Hofstead Family when he gained power, he had made numerous enemies over the years in the business world, making retaliation inevitable.

Caught between a rock and a hard place, he had hoped that his and Ryan's actions had been subtle enough to go unnoticed. Unfortunately, it seemed that they were exposed after all.

With a loud thud, a vase was forcefully smashed onto the ground, shattering into pieces. Kendrick's frustration was evident.

Meanwhile, Ryan glared at his phone, seething with anger after Kendrick abruptly ended the call. Who does Kendrick think he is to just order me to stop? Why should he disregard all the efforts I've put in? If that is how things are, then Kendrick should prepare for what I'm about to do next.
