“Mr.


    Johns, Rowan isn’t cut out to handle thepany affairs.


    I’ve noticed a backlog of documents that haven’t been dealt with yet!” The assistant hesitated to disturb Glenn, but the situation at thepany was growing dire.


    If these matters weren’t addressed soon, the entire business could suffer.


    “Let him deal with them.


    I can’t do this now,” Glenn replied, his voice weary, before hanging up and returning to his drink.


    The assistant was left frustrated, unsure of what to do.


    A voice cut through the assistant’s frustration.


    “What’s the situation? Has Glenn note back yet?”


    The assistant turned to find Rowan standing there, his expression a mix of concern and confusion.


    With a helpless sigh, the assistant replied, “No, Mr.


    Glenn Johns has had far too much to drink.


    I’ve never seen him like this before.”


    As the weight of the words sank in, realization struck Rowan-Madisyn must truly be gone.


    “I’m also heartbroken over what happened to Madisyn, but what Glenn must be feeling.


    it’s unimaginable.


    I get why he’s drowning in alcohol.


    But I can’t let thepany suffer in the meantime.


    I’ll take care of the documents.


    Thepany must stand strong, no matter what.”


    “Mr.


    Johns, thank you.”


    “Don’t mention it.


    I’m doing it for thepany,” Rowan replied.


    When Rowan returned to his office, he found Courtney was waiting for him.


    “Dad, has Glenne back yet?”


    “No, his assistant just called him.


    He’s probably had too much to drink.” Rowan sighed.


    He hadn’t anticipated Glenn to be like this.


    He used to be invincible, showing no vulnerabilities, but now he seemedpletely overwhelmed.

    Courtneymented, “I heard that Andrew was at a bar too.


    It looks like they handle their distress the same way!”


    Courtney was infuriated knowing how upset Andrew was, especially over someone as trivial as Madisyn.


    To her, it certainly wasn’t worth it!


    She quickly regained her smugness.


    “I’ve handed over the documents to Chapman Group.


    It won’t be long before they sue Johns Group for copying their designs.


    When Johns Group fails to settle, they’ll be forced into bankruptcy, and Chapman Group will swoop in to acquire it and eventually hand thepany over to us!”


    “Good.” Rowan nodded in agreement.


    After the discussion, Courtney departed.


    She had more pressing matters to attend to!


    At Nightfall Bar.


    This establishment was the epitome of luxury in Ansport, frequented only by the affluent and influential.


    This was Courtney’s first visit to a bar, a ce she normally looked down on.


    However, with Andrew present, she had to be here, too.


    She made sure her appearance was wless, having chosen a ck, low-cut dress for the night.


    This was Tatiana’s advice; to rise in status, she couldn’t afford to be modest.


    After all, men were often swayed by appearances.novelbin


    Courtney made her entrance into the bar.


    The deafening music was almost painful to her ears.


    The bar was expansive, bathed in dim light that danced with vibrant colors.


    Courtney scanned the crowd until she spotted Andrew in a booth.


    Even in the low light, Andrew stood out.


    He was dressed in a ck suit, looking slightly intoxicated.
