Right after that, tears started rolling down her cheeks. She broke down and sobbed like a child as she covered her
mouth with her hands.
She didn’t know how she should face him after putting him through so much, and she never thought that he’d

calls from unknown numbers. However, the caller’s number wasn’t saved, but the call could still go through.
After Douglas came out of the bathroom, he saw Emily holding his phone. He dried his hair and asked, “What’s
wrong?”
When she heard that, Emily pulled her gaze away from the phone and responded, “Someone called you just now,
but the number wasn’t saved in your contacts. The call ended after I answered the phone. It just seemed odd.”
Douglas furrowed his brows when he heard that the number wasn’t in his contacts, but he subsequently put on a
facade and remained calm.
When he looked at the phone number, his gaze darkened. “Don’t worry about it. It’s just someone I’ve known from

read the notification, he realized that three billion had been stolen from his account. The hacker left him a message
that read, ‘You ignorant a*shole!’

funny, he was furious at the same time.

As he looked at the additional three billion in his bank account, Hayden didn’t feel guilty at all. Instead, he thought

While Nicole was at home, she received a call from a director of Gardner Corporation.
She wasn’t surprised to get the call. As she smiled, she asked, “How may I help you?”
Since the board of directors hoped that she would take responsibility for the issue that had happened, they tried to
be friendly with her. “After some careful consideration, the management feels that the issue with Aimee
International should be handled with care.”
They were trying to sound righteous, but Nicole knew what they were scheming; they merely wanted to get
someone to carry the blame. “I see. Since I’ve left Gardner Corporation, it has nothing to do with me anymore. You
