Chapter 628: Chapter 628: Special Exceptions and Favoritism Reserved for One Person

"Get out." Waylon Lewis’s voice was cold and unyielding.

"Boss, what did I do wrong?"

Waylon cast her a cold glance, unwilling to waste more words on her.

Elias Patel, however, was not willing to accept this. She didn’t want to leave. The last time she went to Hope Williams’s company, she’d already swallowed her pride.

Now the Boss wanted to fire her over such a trivial matter, and Elias was indignant.

"Boss, I’ve been by your side, staying with the company as long as Thomas Hughes has. Won’t you give me another chance? I was just momentarily confused, I promise it won’t happen again."

Elias looked to Thomas for help, but Thomas could only lower his head. Having been by the Boss’s side for so long, he knew better than anyone that the Boss despised those who broke the rules.

Especially after Mrs. Lewis came along, Waylon had gone out of his way to avoid all other women.

The only reason Elias was kept around was because she had never crossed the line before.

When she was reassigned back to Emperor Capital, he had kindly reminded her.

But it seemed she had always considered herself a capable person, believing that the Boss held her in special regard, and that he would always make exceptions for her.

It was true she had ability, but she had forgotten one thing: in this company, capable people were in no short supply.

And the Boss’s exceptions and favoritism were reserved for one person only—Mrs. Lewis.

Her misplaced confidence had cost her a good job.

If Thomas remembered correctly, when Boss reassigned her to Mrs. Lewis’s company back then, he had even offered her double the salary.

Thomas shook his head. Despite being colleagues for years, he still gave her a few meaningful glances as a friendly warning.

She should know by now to stop provoking and entangling the Boss.

Elias bit her lower lip, understanding the meaning behind Thomas’s look. Resentment in her eyes, she glanced up at the cold-hearted man and pushed down her emotions. In the end, she forced herself to walk out of the office.

Waylon cast a glance at Thomas and said in a frostbitten tone, "Speak."

Thomas quickly reported, "Boss, we have news about Sir and Madam. We found the bodyguards who were on the plane with them. The bodyguards stated that right before the private jet lost control, the altitude was just right for a parachute jump. So Sir and Madam ultimately used parachutes to escape."

Since the bodyguards who parachuted survived, it meant there was a good chance Christopher Lewis and Alitzel Williams had as well.

Barring any unforeseen accidents, it seemed only a matter of time before they were found.

From being presumed dead to having a lead, this was already the best news yet.

The tension Waylon had been carrying for days eased a little. "Keep searching. Assign more personnel."

"Understood."

Waylon raised his hand to massage his temples, his strikingly handsome face showing traces of exhaustion.

Standing nearby, Thomas observed that Boss hadn’t rested properly in days. During the day, he held meetings and managed various affairs at the company. At night, he visited the old family home to ensure the elder Mr. Lewis wouldn’t be overwhelmed by grief and have an accident.

In addition to maintaining such a grueling work pace, he had been relentlessly working to locate his parents. The one sliver of free time he had after a meeting yesterday, he’d flown to Y Country to accompany Mrs. Lewis, only to rush back early this morning, reviewing files and attending video calls even during the drive from the airport to the office. He hadn’t paused for even a moment.

Even an iron man like Boss could get worn out.

Thomas had just opened his mouth to speak when Waylon stood, grabbed his coat, and seemed ready to leave.

"Boss, where are you going?"

"To City A."

Boss was going to see Mrs. Lewis again!

Thomas hesitated before cautiously suggesting, "Boss, how about taking a break first?"

Waylon turned back to glance at him. "No time."

With that, Waylon strode out, and Thomas hurriedly followed.

Fine, he’d spoken out of line. The Boss’s only downtime belonged to Mrs. Lewis.

"Send someone to relay this news to the old Mr. Lewis. Put his mind at ease," Waylon instructed as they walked.

"Understood."

Thomas followed Waylon out of the office. As they entered the hallway, his gaze landed on Elias standing in the corner.

Elias’s face was etched with worry, clearly wishing to say something.

Thomas hesitated briefly before Elias quickly approached him.

"Assistant Hughes, help me."

"Sorry, I can’t help you. You know full well the Boss has Mrs. Lewis. He dislikes other women getting close to him, yet you still tried to fall into his arms. What were you thinking?"

"I..." Elias’s eyes brimmed with tears.

Thomas shook his head. "Take care of yourself."

"Wait, isn’t there really a way? I’ll go plead with Mrs. Lewis. I’ll beg her, will that work? She’s in City A, I’ll go and beg her."

"Don’t. Mrs. Lewis is swamped. Don’t go giving her more trouble." Thomas stopped her.

Elias’s eyes flickered, unwilling to give up. She suddenly recalled what Thomas had mentioned earlier. "You said something about a plane crash—Mr. and Mrs. Lewis’s plane crashed?"

Thomas frowned. "That’s not something you should pry into. Take my advice: accept your paycheck, write your resignation letter, and leave with some dignity. You can still find a good job elsewhere. Don’t push the Boss any further."

With that, Thomas rushed to catch up with Waylon.

Elias narrowed her eyes, raising her hand clutching her phone, and still booked a ticket to City A.

...

Luna Williams spent the entire afternoon at the hospital taking care of Jade Bell, seizing the opportunity to probe her with some subtly veiled questions.

To Luna’s delight, Jade hadn’t remembered a thing, including matters regarding shares.

Luna was overjoyed. Based on Jade’s demeanor and what the doctor had said, Luna had no doubts about the credibility of it all.

After completing her inquiries, Luna felt completely relieved. Having cared for Jade all afternoon, her patience waned by evening, and she headed back home.

Taking advantage of her absence, Jade made a phone call to Hope Williams.

When Hope arrived at the hospital, she coincidentally ran into Luna, who had returned to grab something.

"What are you doing at the hospital?" Luna glared at Hope.

Hope arched a delicate brow. "Since when does this hospital forbid me from entering?"

Luna scoffed. "What could you possibly accomplish here? Grandma has forgotten all about that incident. You won’t find any evidence. How do you feel about that? Frustrated?"
