Chapter 22
Vincent’s face was angry as he returned to his office at the Horizon Group headquarters.
He sat in his executive chair, and his eyes shone and gleamed with hostility.
“Damn it! This damned Taylor family,” he muttered.
“The Taylor family, those insolent fools, how did they have the courage to curse his master behind his back!
“This is unforgivable! They are looking for trouble!
“No. I must immediately sever all ties and cooperation with the Taylor family. Anyway, they no longer deserve a place in this world,” said
Vincent.
With this thought and determination in his eyes, Vincent pressed the button on his desk intercom.
“Come in! Find all the contracts related to the Taylor family and bring them to me!”
In no time, an employee wearing the Horizon Group uniform rushed in, carrying a thick stack of documents.
“Mr. Dunn, here are the documents you requested,” he said.
Vincent’s phone began to ring before the employee could finish his
sentence.
Seeing the displayed caller ID, he immediately sprang up from his chair. He waved to the employee who had entered the room.
Then, he said, “You can leave now. Remember to close the door behind you.”
The employee was dedicated and did as instructed. He promptly turned and left the office, closing the door behind him and leaving Vincent alone.
On this side, Vincent looked reverent. He then connected the phone by assuming a devout demeanor and a respectful and cautious tone to answer the call.
“Master, are you looking for me? How may I assist you?” asked Vincent.
That’s right. The call was indeed from Gavin,

He could then go to the Taylor family to inquire about clues about that year.
However, Gavin waited for Layla’s call in vain. When he tried to reach out to her, Layla didn’t answer. He had no idea about what was happening now. Thus, he decided to contact Vincent directly.
Gavin’s voice came through Vincent’s phone.
