Her Spy in Ardora Construction
Soon after, Johnson arrived and saw his wife and son with me. His little one’sughter made him smile
as he politely greeted, “Chloe, sorry to impose on you.”
He then exchanged pleasantries with my parents and even told us he bought snacks for Ava.
The dinner was joyous and harmonious. I knew it had lifted a weight from Myra’s shoulders. She yed
with the children after dinner. My parents realized Johnson and I needed to talk, so they went for a
walk.
together.
I–discussed Ardora Construction’s current situation with Johnson and understood that the Thompsons
had been activetely. They had snatched several projects from others and pulled in a few significant
shareholders.
It seemed they yed a big game and were unafraid to take risks. The mastermind behind everything
was
Liora. Even without Johnson’s exnation, I knew Keegan was not the one making things happen.
It had always been Liora. She didn’t want tock money because she was married to Atticus. I
wondered
why she couldn’t stay content.
Another thing puzzled me. Was Liora not afraid of Atticus’s retaliation for seizing his resources and
connections? From my understanding, Atticus would never tolerate a woman taking advantage of him,
even if she was his wife.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have hesitated to remove the Thompsons‘ influence from hispany. I figured
Liora’s schemes would return to bite her one day.
It seemed I needed to have a word with Atticus beforehand, even though he had hinted that I didn’t
need to spare Liora any mercy. It indicated plenty of hidden information in this situation, which
warranted some thorough investigation on my part.
That was how the upper ss functioned. Many things remained unspoken yet understood by
everyone. However, that only urred when one had the power to speak.
Before parting ways, I had to tell Johnson and Myra. “You can’t leave Ardora Construction yet. You can
rest assured I will always wee you at mypany if you’re willing to return. But for now, you must
stay at Ardora Construction. Of course, the decision depends on you.”
Although I didn’t state my intentions, Johnson dered, “Chloe, I’d brave any storm for you If you’re
willing to ept meter,
Thank you for saying that, Johnson, I know it puts you in a difficult position, but I need this I need you
sry.
“You can’t do that, Chloe. You’ve already been too kind to me. I can’t take your money,” Johnson
protested, shaking his head.
Myra agreed, “Absolutely not, Chloe!”
“Don’t refuse so quickly. I understand how tough it is for you two. You can easily move to work at a
better
ce, but since you’re working for me, I can’t let my employees suffer,” I assured them.
“Plus, your kid is still too young for kindergarten, and Myra won’t be able to work for a while. I know
your
pressure is immense, Johnson. So don’t refuse because it’s only fair for me to offer you that. On the
contrary, it’ll put my mind at ease.”
I appealed to him with reason and emotion–it wasn’t an empty statement. After some thought, Johnson
responded, “Okay. Thank you, Chloe. I will do my best for this.”
I knew he was knowledgeable. His ready eptance also reassured me. The trio stayed at my ce
untilte before leaving. It seemed my n had a more definite direction. However, I knew this
approach would also pose significant risks. I had to be cautious and not act hastily.
On Friday, I went to the hospital to remove my cast. I felt much lighter afterward. While heading
downstairs, I picked up som
medication for my dad. I saw a burly man ahead of me when I reached the
payment counter. I couldn’t see how many people were still in line ahead.
Finally, when the man bent to hand over his prescription, I saw a snake tattoo on his wrist. I instantly
recognized this tattoo. I had seen the same tattoo during my kidnapping. It was the burly man who had
carried me through the tall grass
Though I hadn’t seen the man’s face that night, I remembered this tattoo vividly. My heart raced as
stepped aside to get a better look at him.
