Leyed Dexter warily, my expression darkening.
What was got into this man again?
“Who are you yelling at? Knock it off, it’s gross.” | shoved past Dexter, eager to escape the
elevator.
But Dexter, in a sudden fit of paranoia, clutched at my wrist, yankingback. “You're Phoebe,
aren't you...”
His voice was hoarse and also laced with a tinge of excitement.
Panic fluttered in my chest, but | mustered a calm strength to push him away. “If you're gonnal have a meltdown,
do it somewhere else. This is the Langley Group, not your home.”
The elevator dinged open, and the staff filed out onto their respective floors, leaving just me.
Dexter, and his assistant.

Dexter didn’t speak again, his gaze fixed on me, sending shivers down my spine.
“Mr. Fitzgerald, right this way, please.” The elevator doors parted, and Eric was waiting.
He didn’t seem the least bit surprised to see me.
Dexter's look was complicated as he stepped out of the elevator.
| followed, my heart still racing.
He couldn’t possibly recognize me, could he?
He's deluding himself,
My clenched hands slowly relaxed, and | wiped the sweat from my palms, trailing behind Eric..
“Did Colin... Caleb run into trouble at the company?”
Eric seemed unfazed as he glanced back at me, “A few businesses of Mr. Henry's are in trouble. and under the
police’s investigation, so he’s been tied up and hasn’t had the chance to cby. For now, it seems like no one
else at the company has the guts to mess with the young master.”
| was taken aback for a fleeting moment. So Henry's business had problems too. Was it Caleb’s dumb luck or...
It all seemed a bit too convenient.
“With Mr. Henry's people being the only ones bold enough to stir things up and him being out of the picture, they
naturally wouldn't dare make a move,” | nodded.
Brendan's influence in the company wouldn't just vanish due to days of bedridden. Most people were still wary of
him.

Chapter 125
If Henry wanted a shake-up in the Langley Group, it would take time,
“Mr. Henry won't be held back forever. He'll cafter the young master sooner or later Eric whispered, as if for
my ears alone. “That's why the deal with the Fitzgerald Group needs to so
through.”
“I've looked into this deal. Dexter coming personally to the Langley Group, so it looks like they're the ones
desperate for a partnership anyway. Besides, with the Langley Groups clout in Sea City, they shouldn't be held
back unless Henry and Dexter have struck a deal and are planning smischief.” | lowered my voice.

Dexter didn’t seem to have allied with Henry yet.
“No, it's not that...” Eric spoke again, just before we entered the office. “It's the young master.... he's the one
refusing to cooperate with the Fitzgerald Group.”
It was Caleb who unilaterally refused any partnership with the Fitzgerald Group.
And it was also him who was making moves against the Fitzgerald Group.
“I heard on the news that several of the Fitzgerald Group's projects have run into issues...” | murmured softly,
then looked up at Eric. “Caleb can’t possibly have the means, can he?”
He was just a fool. He'd been wandering all his life, even living in an orphanage. He had only just returned to the
Langley family; how could he suddenly have the power to take on the Fitzgerald Group and Dexter?
Eric didn’t respond, simply opening the door and gesturing forto enter.
| stood at the threshold, taking a moment to collect myself before stepping inside.
In the office, Caleb sat in a suit beside the floor-to-ceiling windows, looking isolated and untouchable. But after
all his years of roaming and never having handled company matters, it would take tfor him to get the hang
of it.
| used to think Dexter had the right presence, at least he seemed pretty convincing when he was acting like a
gentleman.
