Chapter 118: Chapter 106 What did Zenia Yates say when she saw you yesterday?

Hunter’s hand reached out into the empty air, then he tucked both his hands into his pockets, turning to watch the car tail as it drove away, a devilish curve at the corner of his lips.

He started walking towards his villa, dialing his secretary as he went.

"Shangyi, you don’t need to come to the office today.

Go find Zenia Yates, retrieve the apartment she’s currently living in, and have her move out today.

And freeze her account."

Shangyi was stunned for a moment.

"Don’t ask why, just do it."

"Yes."

Hunter got back to his room, lay down on the bed, and fell asleep soon after.

Faye Townsend arrived at the office, the lobby was very quiet, there were hardly any people coming to work.

She entered her office; Brielle Golden and Declan Rivers had not arrived yet either.

As soon as she stepped inside, she was in work mode, opening a contract document to look at it.

At seven thirty, Brielle pushed the door open to tidy up a bit and was startled to see her sitting at the desk.

"Director Townsend."

Faye looked up at her: "Good morning, Secretary Li."

Brielle hurried over: "Director Townsend, I’m sorry, did I miss any important arrangements today?"

"No, I just suddenly remembered there was some unfinished business from yesterday, so I came in early."

Brielle breathed a sigh of relief: "Then, Director Townsend, let me tidy up your office for you."

"No need, you go ahead and take care of your work."

"Yes." Brielle left, and shortly after, she returned with a cup of coffee for her.

Faye nodded with a smile: "Thank you. Oh, and please notify that there will be a meeting at the conference room for everyone above floor twenty at eight thirty this morning."

Brielle replied with more respect: "Yes."

At eight thirty, when Faye walked into the conference room, not many people had arrived.

Faye rubbed her temples, even Richard Townsend and several senior figures hadn’t shown up.

A few younger executives stood up: "Director Townsend."

Faye gave a slight smile as she walked to her seat: "Secretary Chen, note down the names of the executives who are absent today, announce this will be treated as absence without leave, deducting three days’ pay.

If they are caught again, ten days’ pay will be deducted.

If they accumulate more than three strikes, they will be dismissed."

"Yes."

Faye broke into a smile for the executives present: "Please, everyone, have a seat, let’s begin the meeting."

During the meeting, Faye’s demeanor was fairly amicable.

When addressing issues pointed out by some of the executives, she was also quite kind in her responses.

Just as the meeting was about to conclude, the conference room door suddenly swung open.

Richard sauntered in with his hands in his pockets.

"I hear there’s a meeting today?"

Faye didn’t even glance at him: "Everyone, focus, continue with the meeting. Manager Sun, please continue."

Manager Sun, who was giving a presentation with the slide projector, tensed up a bit, then turned and continued: "For the statistical data of the first half of this year, all twelve of our stores nationwide have been profitable.

However, the performance in South Town, Maytown, and Luton City has declined compared to the second half of last year..."

Richard walked over to Manager Sun and gently moved him aside: "What, nobody sees me here? Am I, the deputy director, just a decoration and none of you take me seriously?

Let me tell you, sooner or later, the Townsend group is going to be back under my control.

You better watch yourselves."

Faye looked around at everyone: "Does anyone have anything to add to today’s meeting content?"

Everyone shook their heads.

Faye smiled and said: "Alright, then today’s meeting is adjourned.

Manager Sun, you can come to my office in the afternoon to finish your report from today.

And everyone, rest assured, no matter how much Deputy Director Townsend tries to become the CEO here, he certainly won’t be able to fire any of you.

I promise you this with the shares I own.

As long as you work diligently and responsibly at Townsend, I’ll support you."

Upon hearing this, several people felt at ease and bowed before leaving.

Richard wasn’t angry, he just pulled a chair closer and sat next to her.

"Dear sister, not bad, you really have our father’s demeanor, don’t you?"

"Don’t talk to me about our dad, you don’t deserve such a great father."

Faye gathered her documents together and stood up: "Deputy Director Townsend, if there’s nothing else, step aside please, I need to get back to work.

Oh right, Secretary Chen, make a note, since Deputy Director Townsend is late to work, he will have all his bonuses for this month forfeited, and only receive his salary."

"Faye, you’re doing this on purpose, aren’t you?"

Faye shrugged and smiled: "Yes, I’m doing it on purpose."

After saying that, she turned sideways to leave.

"Stop." Richard called after her.

He confidently stepped in front of her: "You can dock my bonus, but let’s make a deal."

Faye raised her eyebrows: "Go on."

"I have information that could be very useful to you.

You give me this amount." He said as he extended a hand.

"Fifty thousand? A useful piece of information for fifty thousand is too much."

"Five hundred thousand." Richard was a bit frustrated.

"Then forget it, you can keep your useful information."

"If you don’t want it, you’ll regret it." Richard said, whistling as he spoke.

He smiled mischievously: "This is the good news you’ve been waiting for."

Faye raised an eyebrow: "Tell me, see if it’s worth that much."

"It’s about... Isla Linton." Richard teased, word by word.

Faye furrowed her brow, Richard laughed: "Well, worth trading for five hundred thousand, isn’t it?"

"Straight price, one hundred thousand."

Richard proudly shook his head: "No, five hundred thousand, not a penny less."

"If you don’t tell me, I can have someone investigate where you’ve been these past few days, who you’ve seen.

Although the news may come later that way, I wouldn’t need to pay you a cent."

Faye crossed her arms.

Richard’s mouth twitched, this pesky girl, just as stingy as their old man.

"Three hundred thousand, can’t be less."

"One hundred and fifty thousand, can’t be more."

"Two hundred thousand."

"Just one hundred and fifty thousand."

"You’re deducting my bonus this month too, I end up giving you good news for nothing."

"The former is the company’s payment, the latter is from my own pocket.

Besides, it’s called making up for your mistakes.

Deal or no deal, if not, I’ll quickly find someone to investigate."

"Fine, one hundred and fifty thousand."

Richard beckoned her to come closer, and Faye leaned in, listening. After he finished, she frowned: "Are you sure you’re not lying to me?"

"If I’m lying, I’m a dog, I saw her photo on that person’s phone.

I’ve met Isla Linton, she’s so beautiful, I couldn’t possibly forget.

I recognized her at a glance.

Come on, my money." Richard finished, extending his hand to her triumphantly.

Faye looked at Declan Rivers: "Declan, issue a check for one hundred and fifty thousand in my brother’s name on my behalf."

Declan glared at Richard, unhappily saying: "Understood, Director Townsend."

Everyone else’s brothers support their younger sisters.

Never seen a brother who drags his own sister down.

Having said that, Faye had already turned and jogged out of the meeting room.

Back in her office, she immediately tossed the documents aside and called Henry Sullivan.

As soon as the call connected, Faye spoke: "Henry, it’s me."

"Faye? Why did you change to a number from Eldoria, are you in Eldoria now? When did you get back, why didn’t you tell me, so I could take time off to see you?"

"Henry, I’ve returned to Anchester, it’s a long story.

Listen to me first, I called you because I have important news.

I have news of Sister Isla.

She’s getting married, to a businessman named James Yinley."

On the other end, Henry Sullivan was stunned for a moment.

"Henry, are you listening?"

Henry’s voice suddenly became very calm for some reason.

"Faye, is your information reliable?"

"This... I’m sorry, I haven’t checked the reliability of the information.

Richard just told me about it.

He was drinking at a bar last night and ran into an old friend.

This friend was flipping through his photo album showing beauties on his phone, and my brother happened to see a photo of Sister Yaya with a large family group when he quickly scrolled past it.

He asked who that woman was.

The guy said she was his brother-in-law’s fiancée, getting married in a few days.

I was in such a rush to tell you that I didn’t bother to verify the information’s credibility yet.

But my brother says he wouldn’t be mistaken.

Henry, don’t worry, let me send someone..."

"Do you know where that man is from?"

"My brother said his friend is from Mountain City."

"Mountain City... I have a comrade named Scott Quentin, he’s from Mountain City. Faye, you don’t need to handle this, let me take care of it."

"Henry, you have to bring Sister Isla back, you must."

"Don’t worry, I will." Henry Sullivan hung up the phone, immediately finding Scott Quentin’s number to start investigating the matter.

Faye sat back in her office chair.

She’s been giving unrequitedly, never finding love.

Yet, Sister Isla and Henry, who truly love each other, can’t seem to walk into marriage.

Heaven sure likes to make a joke out of lovers.

Those who don’t understand love enter marriage without cherishing it.

While some just want simple happiness, yet they can’t get it.

Sister Isla, please, please go back to Henry’s side.

You two are so perfect, you shouldn’t be apart, you really shouldn’t.

Faye flipped open the file, feeling a bit agitated, unable to focus on a single word.

Hunter was sleeping soundly when his cell phone suddenly rang.

He raised his hand to rub his temples, irritably grabbed his phone.

Seeing the caller ID was Zenia Yates, his anger flared up instantly.

Yet, this call came at just the right time.

When he picked up the phone, Zenia Yates’ crying voice came from the other end.

"Hunter Warren, why are you doing this to me?

Why did you have Shangyi come to take my house?

This house was bought by me, not you."

Hunter curled his lips; the louder she cried, the more satisfied he felt.

"If I remember correctly, that house was bought with my five hundred thousand."
