“I have no idea. Only Julian knows what’s on his mind. You should brief Ms. Nash on the situation. She’ll have her own plans.” Quill believed that they had covered all their bases, so nothing was of concern. Kaze checked out. He was just a regular employee. If there were any real issues, they were all in Julian’s head. Maybe Lyra was just imagining things. It might have been a coincidence that Kaze was present at the auction. He might have been allowed to work part-time. Quill stood by his belief that Kaze’s identity was solid, seeing that he personally vetted him. Nothing was out of place. “That’s all we can do for now, but Julian has some nerve to lie. It’s a good thing we held onto him yesterday. He can use a good beating today.” Since Julian was in quite a sorry state yesterday, Fletcher assumed that he had Julian under his thumb. Yet, Julian was up to another one of his antics. “People like him never learn. He must think that we can’t do anything to him, and that

“It’s about the Hanbergs.” Irene could not hide the smile on her face. Agnes was taken aback. “As in Julian of the Hanbergs?“What happened? What did the family get into?” Agnes was curious as to the situation with the Hanbergs. Julian was a decent guy. Sure, he was a little plump and rude, but his family was rich, and that itself was enough for Agnes to cozy up to Julian. Pride was not something that mattered a lot to Agnes as she was only after what she could get out of it. Everything else was expendable. “Weren’t the Hanbergs at the auction too? Word is that they are in a bit of financial trouble. They need a large amount of capital to keep the operations running, or the business might fall.” Irene was forthright about the situation. The news was bound to get out even if Irene kept it a secret. Surely, word would travel to Agnes. “That doesn’t make sense. Didn’t the Hanbergs flaunt their wealth? I recall that they were in the running when the bids went up to billio

“I honestly feel for your daughter. You’re the mother, but instead of caring for her, you insist on putting her down and using her.” Irene had no idea whether it was her place to make the comment. Agnes might not even take her seriously, but Irene could not keep her thoughts to herself. “I know that you’re looking out for my daughter, but you don’t know her.” Agnes dismissed Irene’s remark as wrong, thinking that Darcy had been playing the victim for sympathy. Irene knew right there and then that her advice was pointless. Agnes was beyond help. “You’ve made your decision, so I’ll let it at that. Your family’s affairs are none of my business anyway. “But from what I know, gender doesn’t matter when it comes to business. It’s all about competence. “I think you should reconsider. Stop favoring your son over your daughter,” Irene said from a place of kindness. It was a shame because Darcy put in a lot of effort in building a relationship with her mother, but the latter never

“That’s a good suggestion. While the approach won’t cost the company much, it was a huge risk for you to take.” Darcy shook her head, dismissing the idea. She did not doubt her staff’s abilities, but there had to be a better solution that did not involve a lot of manual labor. Jordy was displeased. He made a compromise, only to be shot down by Darcy. He simply nodded politely, willing to hear Darcy out. “I’m going away on a business trip to meet some of my former business partners. If I can convince them, we might find the answer to our problems.” Sensing the employees’ anxiety, Darcy assured them. If they were willing to wait, Darcy could have their backs and take care of their jobs. Jordy was a little upset at first, but Darcy just said the magic words. “Do you need help, Ms. Quint? We can go with you and help with networking,” Bert said eagerly, trying his luck to get on the business trip. “It’s okay. They are my friends. I’m pretty friendly with them. I can hand

The person seemed to have a problem with Kaze, even getting aggressive with him. The details did not go unnoticed, and Agnes saw it as a good thing. That was what Agnes was after. Her wish was for others to turn against Kaze, allowing her to benefit from the conflict while getting the opportunity to take a swipe at him. “What are you doing here? Do you need anything?” Darcy was not happy to see her mother. She assumed that Agnes would get tired of waiting and just leave. However, there she was. The point was, Agnes was not the least bit apologetic when she saw Darcy. All Agnes did was stare at Kaze in the crowd. Darcy went up to Agnes, worried that she might harm Kaze. Darcy had always known that Agnes was driven by greed. However, she never thought that Agnes would sell her daughter out completely. “Why else do you think I’m here for? Of course, I came to see you.” Agnes glanced at the crowd before striding into the office. She did not even say hello to the rest. Ber
