Chapter 28

Natalie’s identity as a hacker was so unique that she couldn’t afford to slip up. She was a silent shareholder in the company, a secret known only to Gavin and his father.

Brian couldn’t help but let out a snicker, tilting his head slightly as he looked towards Natalie. “I heard a little rumor, Ms. Wright is about to get engaged to the eldest son of the Foster family, am I right? Don’t you know anything about avoiding conflicts of interest?” His words stung more than a slap to the face.

Natalie stood still for a moment, then turned to lock eyes with Brian, her voice cold as ice, “Thank you for the heads–up, Mr. Howard. But I trust everyone here is a close ally of Gavin and wouldn’t indulge in baseless gossip.”

With that, she said to Gavin, “No need to see me out. I can find my way.”

Gavin watched silently as Natalie stepped into the elevator. When he turned back, his gaze met Brian’s, chilling and intense.

After a tense moment, Brian stood up and walked into the adjacent conference room. Gavin followed, overhearing Brian’s soft remark, “You’d do well to weigh your worth before you mess around with some women…”

Gavin was speechless.
