The meeting had ended, and Hailey, guided by her assistant, moved into her new office.

It wasn’t large, but it wasn’t small either. The office had been vacant for some time–previously Isaac’s, but after he was promoted to General Manager, no one had been assigned to take over.

Hailey stood by the window, gazing down at the city below, taking a slow, steady breath.

They were on the thirty–sixth floor, and from this height, she could look down on the world below as though she were a god observing her domain.

After living two lifetimes, she had finally entered the Dalton Group.

But even now, her vengeance–her mother’s vengeance–had only been partially fulfilled.

She stood there, her gaze growing darker, lost in her thoughts.

Meanwhile, Aiden, seething with anger, returned to Mattie’s place.

He hardly ever went home anymore, often staying with her.

This was the villa he had bought for Mattie: three floors, extravagantly decorated.

Mattie, ever considerate, made him coffee and gently tried to soothe the fire of his rage.

With her warmth and soft affection, naturally, his anger began to subside.

But soon, Aiden’s phone rang. It was Rose.

The mere sight of her name on the screen made Aiden want to hang up immediately.

Mattie stopped him. “You should answer. It might be urgent.”

Reluctantly, Aiden answered the call.

The moment the phone connected, Rose’s voice erupted, full of frantic curses.

Aiden, not wanting to argue in front of Mattie, looked visibly pained as he quickly hung up.

Mattie blinked, her expression innocent and confused. “What happened?”

Aiden stood, clutching his chest as though his anger was causing physical pain. “I need to go back for a while.”

Mattie nodded, her voice soft. “Okay, I’ll see you out.”
