"I want to cut him off at the knees. Make sure he can never get back up," Conrad said, his tone ruthless.

Justin laughed. "What did he do to you? Why so vicious?"

Conrad brushed a stray lock of hair from his forehead, a cold smile playing on his lips. "He's not my assistant anymore. This is the path he chose."

Justin was sharp. He didn't need any more explanation to understand what Conrad wanted. They were close friends, after all.

"Alright, don't worry. Taking care of Hank will be easy," Justin said, his laugh laced with a chilling venom.

Her intuition told her something was seriously wrong.

"Where are you?" she asked.
