Single Mom's Sweet Husband by Charlotte

"Christopher is trying to drive a wedge between the Steven Family and us." Braden frowned. "He may think that Caleb is scheming, so he wouldn't tell his sister about the data leak. Consequently, we wouldn't find out about it as well."

"Yes." Shane nodded. "Caleb isn't as smart as he thinks."

Avery sneered. In any case, both Christopher or the Stevens family was considered an enemy to him. Even if Christopher's plan succeeded, there wouldn't be any hostility with the Stevens family.

Kendall handed the phone to Rick, her head was lowered and she was silent. She was feeling a little nervous. She didn't want them to talk about her brother. She felt antsy every time they did, like she was shunned and needed to apologize to everyone.

This feeling was too unbearable. She wished she had never existed.

"Don't be afraid." Rick clasped her hand gently. "With me by your side, no one can bully you."

She was not afraid, just a little uneasy. However, Kendall didn't know how to explain this emotion, so she stayed silent.

This matter was no longer a clear-cut situation between Christopher and the Steven Family. There were many corporations on the prowl waiting for an opportunity. Kendall was not stupid, she understood these truths, therefore she felt powerless.

"The matter is within our control, and I don't want to see any report now," Shane said, facing Peter.

"I understand." Peter nodded immediately. "I'll sort out the data and hand them in as soon as possible to inform our higher-ups of the current situation. However, the success rate may not be very high. After all, to them, we are a bother."

"It doesn't matter. Just control it."

"All right."

Avery was on his phone trying to stop this from into turning into a media circus. "The situation isn't too dire. People aren't curious about the identity of the person who jumped off the building. They only know that it's suicide."

"Does the person in Brine know about the news?" Shane asked again.

The "person in Brine" alluded to someone named Raina. Avery understood this implication and nodded. "She already knows about this. I told my men to inform her."

Shane remained silent.

Avery opened his mouth wanting to say something, in the end only a sigh escaped.
