After freezing for two seconds, Seven’s face flushed bright red as he hurriedly shut the door.

Then he turned to look at Sterling, who was standing behind him.

“Kid, you didn’t see anything!”

Inside, Seven was screaming, When did those two get this far? And seriously, if you’re gonna hug and kiss, could you not do it in front of a kid?

Sterling glanced at the tightly closed door.

“Draven treats Cassia really well.”

“Wait, s–so that means…”

Seven’s eyes went wide as he stared at Sterling.

“So that means… you… saw everything?!”

If I had known, I never would’ve brought the kid along. This is exactly how kids get corrupted!

Just as Seven was fuming internally, the door opened, and Draven looked at Sterling.

“Dinner tonight at Atelier Zrario. Order whatever you want. It’s on me.”

As he said that, his brows lifted slightly, his expression clearly in a good mood.

“I want crabs.” Sterling smacked his lips at the thought of big, plump crabs, waving his arms excitedly.

“Done. I’ll call Atelier Zrario and have them prepare 100 of the best.”

After saying that, Draven looked at Seven.

Huh?

Seven froze for a second, then immediately got what he meant.

Draven wanted him to call the hotel and reserve 100 premium crabs.

The kid is Ms. Wood’s adopted little brother. Ms. Wood is Mr. Grey’s woman. So that makes the kid…Mr. Grey’s future brother–in–law?

:.

Wait… he’s trying to impress his future brother–in–law, and I’m the one doing the work?

But then Seven saw Sterling smacking his lips with that eager look on his face, and all his complaints disappeared.

Honestly, if the kid wanted to cat, he didn’t mind doing the legwork. The only problem was, after all that effort, the kid wouldn’t thank him–he’d thank Draven instead.

That part felt a little bitter.

Still, whatever. As long as the kid was happy.

The next day, Cassia arrived at Cosmo Group.

Since she had visited Nicole before, most of the employees already knew she was Nicole’s close friend. So when Cassia walked through the doors, she didn’t even need to check in at the front desk. She went straight to the elevator, rode it to the top floor, and headed to Nicole’s office.

‘Cassia, you’re here!” Nicole’s face lit up with joy as she hurried over in her heels.

“The time’s come.” Cassia looked at her, her expression calm and emotionless as she spoke.

Nicole froze.

“You mean… acquire the Woods?”

“Yeah.”

Cassia nodded.

“Finally! Cassia, you should’ve done this a long time ago!” Nicole said, clearly excited.

There were things Nicole already knew, like how the Woods constantly mistreated Cassia or how Vance wanted to use her as a pawn in a marriage alliance…

With how they treated her, if Cassia hadn’t been soft–hearted and kept giving them chances, they wouldn’t have lasted this long.

Still, Nicole was curious.

“Cassia, didn’t you use to say you didn’t care? What made you change your mind?”

“It’s nothing. I’m just pissed.” Cassia said it without hesitation.

Nicole looked at her. Her face was as still as dead water, but beneath that, there was a storm of

rage burning in her eyes.

:

Looks like the Woods crossed the line again. And this time, they went way too far.

Serves them right. If you don’t court death, you won’t find it. Cassia’s acting now is already more merciful than they deserve.

When Aspen received the call from Nicole’s personal secretary, he was standing by the floor- to–ceiling window in the CEO’s office.

Hands clasped behind his back, he stared outside for a long, long time.

At the sky, the ground, the empty air, the buildings, and the people passing by.

He didn’t even know what he was looking at anymore.

Below, traffic flowed endlessly past. In front of him stood the four–story headquarters of Wood Group, a company built from the ground up by his grandfather, stabilized over decades by his father.

After today, none of it would belong to the Woods anymore. They’d never rise again. For the rest of their lives, they’d be crushed under Cosmo Group’s heel.

The head of Cosmo Group was Nicole. Vance had told him before that Cassia knew Nicole and that they were close.

So when he heard that Cosmo Group wanted to acquire Wood Group, Aspen wasn’t surprised at all. If anything, it felt inevitable.

It had been less than a week since control of the company fell into his hands. He had just managed to stabilize everything, and now the work of two generations was about to be destroyed under him.

He didn’t know how long he stood there before yesterday’s events replayed in his mind.

Aspen clenched his fists and let out a heavy breath.

Then he walked to his desk, sat down, picked up the landline, and dialed Nicole’s secretary.

“I agree.

Meanwhile, at a securities firm, Sterling sat in the CEO’s office, looking completely overwhelmed.

In front of him were stacks of complicated documents, piled up like small mountains, burying
