After an exhausting seven-hour surgery, Derek was finally wheeled out of the operating room. The sunwas just starting to rise.

Marcus, his face etched with worry and determination, approached the chief surgeon and asked, “Howis he?”

The surgeon, removing his mask, answered, “Mr. Thomas, the surgery went very well. However, thepatient was severely injured. Whether he recovers or not now depends on his fate.”

Marcus’ voice was resolute as he said, “Regardless of anything, we must bring him back.”

The doctor, feeling the weight of Marcus’ determination, took a moment before suggesting, “Irecommend transferring him to a medical facility overseas. The medical expertise there is moreadvanced and would likely be more beneficial for his condition. If you agree, I can coordinate with aforeign hospital right away.”

Marcus, with Millie at his side, returned to the company.

As Millie entered the design department, she noticed that Nancy was away from her desk.

Other than her and Nancy, the department was empty.

What was Nancy doing at her desk? Millie’s suspicion grew as she pondered the unusual behavior.

“Good morning.” Nancy greeted as she walked past, her demeanor cold.

Millie shook her head, choosing to ignore her. She settled at her own desk, noticing the slightlydisorganized materials.

They had been neatly arranged when she left yesterday. Nancy must have tampered with hermaterials.

It dawned on Millie that Nancy must have been trying to gain insight into the jewelry designs for MissFairclough’s wedding. However, Millie frequently took her work home, keeping it out of prying eyes.

Her phone chimed, and she received a message from Grace.

“Millie, I’ll come and wait for you downstairs at your company at noon,” it read.

Grace’s concern touched Millie, and she quickly replied, “Okay, come over. Let’s go eat at the dessertplace downstairs together.”

Meanwhile, in the CEO’s office, Marcus stood surveying the approved documents on his desk. A frowncreased his brow as he dialed an internal. Line.

“Mr. Thomas,” came the immediate response.

“Come up here for a moment.”

Less than a minute later, Trenton Torres appeared in the CEO’s office, standing at attention.
