Thiago’s face softened slightly. Despite Brenna’s apparent indifference to her reputation, he believed that her

reputation was important since she was a young woman.

Just then, the receptionist walked to him after receiving a phone call. She approached Thiago with a polite demeanor. “Mr. Moreno, the CEO has asked me to escort you to his office. Please follow me.”

Thiago nodded appreciatively. “Thank you.”

Just then, a loud voice echoed from the entrance. “Stop! Where do you think you are going? Thiago turned to find Jayceon striding toward him, his expression contorted with anger.

Thiago knew the cause of Jayceon’s anger. His expression turned sardonic, a thin smile on his lips as he casually slid his hands into his pockets, unbothered by Jayceon’s fury.

Jayceon lunged forward, aiming to seize Thiago by the collar and hurl him to the floor.

But Thiago smoothly avoided his attack.

Jayceon stumbled, missing his target.

As tensions escalated towards a confrontation, the receptionist hastily dialed the CEO’s office for intervention.

Failing in his aggressive attempt, Jayceon felt his anger intensify. He rushed at Thiago again, only to miss as Thiago dodged his attack effortlessly.

Thiago’s smile spread wider, a mocking gleam in his eyes. “Don’t you get it? You’re no match for me,” he taunted, his gaze full of provocation.

Jayceon adjusted his tie, frustration evident. “What’s the deal with you and Ellie?”

With a dismissive tone, Thiago said, “Ellie isn’t under your command, nor do I answer to you. We don’t owe you any explanations.”

Meanwhile, in the top–floor office, Ethan had received the receptionist’s urgent call and descended to the first

floor.

Exiting the elevator, Ethan saw Jayceon stagger from a kick by Thiago, sliding across the slick floor.

Ethan was momentarily surprised by Thiago’s fighting skills. But then, he quickly remembered how Thiago and Brenna had once defeated Jay and many of his henchmen.

Dealing with someone like Jayceon seemed very easy for Thiago.

Jayceon, his anger at its boiling point, was set on reclaiming Ellie by confronting Thiago, the one who had taken her from him.

His clothes were torn, exposing the shirt beneath, while his face was swollen and bruised, making him appear rather pitiful.

He faced Thiago, defiance in his voice. “I won’t give up on winning Ellie back. I’m Patrick’s father. You’ll never take my place!”

Thiago straightened his tie calmly. “So what? I was there for Ellie when she needed someone the most. All her hardships back then? They were your doing. She hasn’t forgotten that.”

His words struck Jayceon harshly, leaving him speechless and overwhelmed, unable to muster a comeback.

The four receptionists nearby averted their gaze, steering clear of the escalating tension. They were well aware of Jayceon’s close ties with the CEO and his frequent use of Ethan’s private elevator. They wouldn’t dare

intervene in his matter.

This time, it seemed they had stumbled upon a piece of drama they were never meant to know. Now, they feared that Ethan might silence them because of it.

They recoiled, acting as though they hadn’t seen or heard a thing.

Ethan approached Jayceon, taking him by the arm to stop him from lunging at Thiago again. “Enough. You are no match for him in a fight. Let’s talk upstairs.”

He then turned a stern look towards Thiago. “Come with us.”
