Chapter 3166 Ripples

At the thought of it, Sylvester realized that Mavis' request for stock options before joining was a calculated move. Even if she were to offend him, he could not just fire her.

The shares she held were enough to ruin his company.

Sylvester fell silent with frustration.

Mavis stopped talking too when she noticed the man was keeping silent.

The atmosphere in the car plummeted to freezing point. Even the driver sitting in the driver’s seat dared not utter a word, afraid of displeasing the two most powerful figures in the company and losing his job.

As the silence settled, Mavis recalled the look on Luke's face just now.

They had worked together, but Luke's demeanor was as distant as when they were at the zoo. He treated her like a stranger.

Not only was it strictly business, but his words were also filled with indifference.

Mavis could not tolerate this version of Luke.

However, she also knew that this was the real Luke. He had no affection for her, and that was why he was cold to her.

She recalled the time at the zoo when he was with that woman named Luca along with his kids.

Mavis' sense of injustice intensified. She stared at the roadside and suddenly saw Luke's car speeding by.

She could not help but clench her fists.

Luke Crawford...

That name engraved in her heart seemed impossible to erase.

Mavis' growing sense of injustice made her want to grasp more, but if she could not even get close to Luke, how could she hold on?
