Chapter 568 Feeling Better?

Now it seemed he had worried for nothing.

Man…that nearly wore me out.

Seven headed into the kitchen, took a clean, sterilized plate from the cabinet, then pulled the crabs out of the bag and set them on the plate. He dragged a chair over and sat next to Sterling, then slid the plate in front of him.

“Want me to crack them for you?”

Sterling picked up a crab from the plate and quietly started peeling it himself.

By now, he was getting pretty good at it.

One bite of crab, one piece of chocolate.

Seven sat there with his mouth slightly open, eyes locked on Sterling without blinking.

The atmosphere felt weird.

Seeing Seven staring at him like that, Sterling freed one hand, grabbed another crab from the plate, and handed it to him.

“Eat with me.”

Seven reached out and took it, but just held it without eating.

He couldn’t quite figure out what was going on with the kid right now.

Sterling’s face had always been pretty expressionless before, but not like this, not this cold and distant.

Even his movements and body language felt detached, almost like…a of Cassia.

Just as Seven was about to ask something, Sterling spoke first.

“If I start running the company myself now, do you think I could make it number one on Zrario’s rich list?”

Seven froze for a second when he heard that.

“Yes. Absolutely.”

Then he added, “Everyone has their own strengths. In silver trading, you’re top tier. No question about it.”

“Then could I take over Wood Group?” Sterling asked again, his hands never stopping as he peeled the crab.

This time, Seven froze longer.

Why does it feel like the kid suddenly grew up overnight?

Am I imagining things?

“Yes, absolutely! Your company has already outperformed 80% of businesses in Zrario. Taking over Wood Group wouldn’t be a problem. Even Zimmer Education Group would be yours for the taking,” Seven said, getting more excited the more he talked.

Then his expression shifted, a trace of concern creeping in.

“But…aren’t you scared? Once you’re sitting in the CEO’s office, you can’t stay locked in your room every day like this anymore. You’ll have to deal with all kinds of people, not just me, Mr. Grey, and Ms. Wood, and handle all sorts of things. It’s going to be tough.”

The workload wasn’t the biggest issue. If problems came up, he’d help.

As payback for the kid teaching him silver trading, he’d been gradually teaching him business skills lately.

The kid was smart. He picked things up instantly.

Seven still couldn’t understand what the Zimmers were thinking. A kid this smart and this lovable, and they treated him like garbage.

Every time he thought about that family, it left him both frustrated and exasperated.

But that wasn’t the point right now.

What mattered was that the last time he mentioned taking the kid to the company, Sterling had looked terrified on the spot.

“Maybe I should just handle it for you?”

“No, I–I can do it myself. I will!”

When Seven mentioned dealing with all kinds of people, Sterling’s body trembled slightly, and his hands paused a few times while peeling the crab..

But..*pared to Cassia, what did that fear even matter?

Cassia never went looking for trouble with the Woods, yet they kept coming after her again and again, hurting her over and over.

She had always been the one protecting him, back at the orphanage, and even now.

But every time Cassia was in danger or got set up, he couldn’t do anything.

He didn’t want to stay like this forever. He had to do something for her.

He had to rise up. He had to become stronger. He had to protect Cassia. He had to make every single person who hurt her pay the price!

At that thought, it was like courage flooded his entire body. A bright, determined light burst from his clear eyes as he looked at Seven and said, “Take me to the company tomorrow.”

“Alright.” Seven was moved by Sterling’s resolve. He looked at him seriously, thinking to himself, My kid’s grown up…

Across the hall, in Draven’s condominium, inside the bathroom.

Cassia lay in the bathtub.
