When the person on the other line hung up on him, Noah clutched his phone in utter shock.

At the sight of this, Kingsley chuckled. “Did someone just lose his job?”

Noah was rendered speechless. He was stunned for a good minute before he slowly recollected his thoughts. Turning, he pointed at Kingsley angrily. “It was you! You were the one who called President Wynn!” A menacing grimace twisted his face as he demanded, “Who are you and what is your relationship with President Wynn?!”

Kingsley draped an arm around Serena’s shoulders and chortled as he said, “She’s our big sister. You got a problem with that?”

Satisfaction rushed through him. For the last ten years, he had tread on the edge of danger, dodging bullets left, right and center.
