“I loathe it when others threaten me!” Arthur was incensed as he pointed at Rachel’s face and rebuked her by saying, “Do you think that you can walk out of this place unscathed today?”

“Since I even bothered to come all the way here, I’ve naturally made ample preparations. If you dare to lay a hand on me, I won’t be the only one going down—you’ll be affecting all the Burton Pharmaceuticals resources that I own too,” Rachel answered in a bland tone.

“You think that I’ll cower because of that? So what if the entire Burton Pharmaceuticals crumbles?”

“I have the Carters backing me as well. Are you sure you won’t bat an eye when they breathe down your neck?”

I have made my decision—I will have her transferred to a subsidiary away from the headquarters!” Arthur stated, incensed. “What?” Justin’s expression turned stormy. “She is under my jurisdiction. Apart from myself, no one is allowed to transfer her anywhere!” “You wilful child!” Arthur smacked the top of the desk hard. “Do not forget that you are still engaged to Amber. The wedding will be held at the end of the year! Don’t you know when to stop avoiding your responsibilities? Have you not seen what the media has been saying about this?” Ever since Justin and Rachel announced that Samuel was their son during that press conference, countless speculations and theories had popped up online about their relationship, their hatred for each other, as well as their love.
