<b>Chapter </b>583


    Hugh stiffened for a moment before his expression turned furious.


    “What we’re discussing is how you’ll do anything to get back into the Raynor Group. I asked you to leave because you’re jeopardizing thepany’s interests for a woman. I won’t tolerate that!” he barked.


    Oliver nodded, his gaze cold. “Isn’t it because you want Fred to take my ce and use me as a stepping


    stone?”


    Hugh shot up from his seat. “What nonsense are you talking about?!”


    His face was flushed with rage, but Oliver noticed a flicker of guilt in his eyes.


    “Whether I’m talking nonsense or not, we both know the truth. I just want to understand why you’re paving the way for Fred at my expense,” Oliver said calmly.


    “That’s enough!” Hugh mmed his hand on the table, shouting, “I don’t want to argue about this useless stuff! You’ll get your position back, but I’m very disappointed in you!<b>” </b>


    Meeting Hugh’s enraged gaze, Oliver chuckled. “Dad, I’ve been disappointed in you too.”


    With that, he turned and left.


    Back in his room, Oliver immediately called Liam.


    “What’s going on with the Keithstone Group? Didn’t they say the Raynor Group wasn’t under


    consideration? Why are they suddenly interested in coborating, and why are they insisting that I must


    be the CEO for the contract to go through?” he asked.


    Liam’s voice held the same confusion. “Mr. Raynor, I’m not sure about the details yet, but I’m investigating. I’ll get back to you as soon as I find out.” All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org.


    “Okay,” Oliver replied.


    Less than an hourter, Liam called back with an update. “Mr. Raynor, I’ve looked into it. It seems Ms. Kinsey has a connection with the Keithstone Group’s CEO. She reached out to Ms. Keith, and that’s why they agreed to give the project to the Raynor Group.”


    Oliver tightened his grip on the phone. “Got it. Thanks.”


    After hanging up, he thought about calling N but decided it would be better to see her in person the next day to get the full story.


    Oliver smiled. Even if N hadn’t helped him, he had other ways to return to the Raynor Group. Still, it felt nice to think she cared. At least now, N would worry about him.


    The next morning, N ran into Regina and Kayden while dropping Mason off at school.


    Regina, who had been so arrogant the day before, looked haggard. Her eyes were red and swollen, a clear sign she hadn’t slept well.


    N had no intention of greeting her. After reminding Mason to call her <i>on </i>his watch if anything happened<b>, </b>she turned to leave..


    Just as she was about to go, she heard Regina call out, “Ms… Ms. Kinsey, please wait a moment.”


    Surprised, N turned back.


    “Is there something you need?” she asked. –


    Regina approached, her face full of guilt. “Ms. Kinsey, what happened yesterday was mine and Kayden’s fault. After I got home, I thought it over and had a talk with Kayden. He won’t speak out of turn again, and I hope you can forgive us.”


    The night before, Noah had a huge argument with Regina. He had warned her that if the situation wasn’t handled properly, he would definitely lose his job, and the whole family would suffer the consequences. When Regina learned Mason was Damon’s son, she instantly regretted her actions.


    Damon was not someone they could afford to offend. If they angered him, it wouldn’t just be about Noah losing his job–it could be a matter of life and death.


    Although Regina wasn’t highly educated and had a fiery personality, she understood the gravity of her choices.
