How had she not known this? When she saw the agreement George held, her heart skipped a beat, and she stood rooted to the Spot George placed the agreement in the middle of the table, making its contents visible to everyone. Upon reading the agreement, the Davison Group executives fell silent. Some looked upset, clenching their fists as if they wanted to say something but held back. The document was a share transfer agreement. Eric had transferred 30% of Davison Group’s shares to Kate for free, complete with Eric’s signature and the company seal. George’s cold gaze swept over the person who had questioned Kate’s presence. Moments ago, he had claimed Kate had no right to be there. Now, with the share transfer agreement in plain sight, who could argue that Kate didn’t belong? Those who had objections instantly quieted down. George smoothly started the meeting, with Kate seated at the head of the table, her expression neutral as she scanned the room. Although Kate didn’t know much about the Davison Group, she could sense George’s deep understanding of the company and his outstanding business acumen through his precise directives. The public relations team quickly issued statements, clarifying Eric’s condition to the public, reassuring them that he was not critically injured. Regarding external collaborations, the Davison Group adopted a firm approach. They decisively. cut ties with opportunistic partners, blacklisting those who had turned to other companies. Conversely, they strengthened relationships with loyal partners. Internationally, the Davison Group took swift action against traitors, ensuring their message was clear.

Finished Kate watched George with a complex expression. When he finally paused to catch his breath after handling more tasks, she softly said, “Having you as the butler at Summer Estate is truly a waste of your talent.” George was taken aback by her comment, then replied earnestly, “Not at all. Whether at Summer Estate or the Davison Group, I’m here to support Mr. Eric.” “Lucas is more capable than I am and better suited to oversee everything. If he weren’t still unconscious, he would handle these matters more effectively and maintain better control over the staff. George paused as his phone buzzed. Glancing at it briefly, he quickly returned to his laptop, his fingers flying over the keyboard, resuming his work. His face showed signs of fatigue. Kate quietly left the office. She headed to the monitoring room, where she could view the entire Davison Group office area. Every employee was diligently working at their stations, the company functioning like a highly efficient machine, operating rapidly and orderly. She stared for a while, slowly clenching her fists. She realized she too needed to help alleviate Eric’s burdens. With Eric injured and hospitalized, and no clear indication of when he would recover, she resolved to hold the fort at Davison Group in his stead.

George was quickly getting up to speed with all the affairs of the Davison Group.

George answered the phone. his tone icy. If you break off the partnership now, the Davison Group will never consider working with you again!” Slamming the phone down. George resumed his rapid perusal of the files, not even noticing when Kate had entered. He instructed his secretary coldly. “Notify all departments to prepare for a meeting! The secretary quickly went off to distribute the notification. Seeing the Davison Group operating smoothly despite the chaos, and George handling multiple tasks like an octopus. Kate sighed deeply. Eric had chosen his people well; they were indeed very capable. George, in particular, had managed the Summer Estate previously but was now quickly handling the affairs of the Davison Group “Is there anything I can do?” Kate asked softly as she saw George take a breath and prepare to stretch. Madam George was started by Kate’s voice, looking at her in disbelief. “What are you doing here?” Kate pressed her lips together. I had a bad feeling, so I came over. Is there a lot going on?” George hesitated for a moment before replying. It’s good that you’re here. Join me for the meeting shortly.” Kate was taken aback. “Me?” George rubbed his temples and took a deep breath. News has leaked that Mr. Eric is in the hospital and unresponsive. Competitors are taking this opportunity to snatch our key clients and partners, aiming to exploit the Davison Group’s plummeting stock price and Eric’s incapacitation to seize our market share.” Even within the Davison Group, there may be disloyal individuals.” A fierce look flashed in George’s eyes. We need you to assert your presence as Mrs. Davison to stabilize the situation.” 112 PM Chapter 168 Unfolding Badly It was clear that things were unfolding as badly as she had feared. Finished On one side, public opinion was attacking her; on the other, a trap had been set for Eric, nearly killing him. Now, they were using this opportunity to target the Davison Group, seizing its market and clients. This deliberate attack had to be the work of Eric’s competitors. In the event that disloyal individuals were present within the Davison Group as George proposed. the company’s position was truly dangerous. Following George into the conference room, they found many people already gathered. When the executives saw Kate, they were visibly surprised but quickly offered respectful greetings, “Madam.” Kate nodded and quietly took the main seat, with George sitting beside her. He glanced around the room and said, “Let’s start the meeting once everyone is here.” “Wait a moment.” Just as George was about to speak, someone interrupted. A man frowned at Kate and couldn’t help but say, “Why is Madam here? Although she is Mr. Eric’s wife, she doesn’t hold any shares or positions in the Davison Group. At most, she temporarily. oversees the Miles Corporation project. She shouldn’t be attending this high–level meeting, should she?” The remark was blunt, and the questioning gaze directed at Kate was obvious. “Ha.” George let out a cold laugh, tapping his fingers on the table before slowly pulling out an agreement. His gaze swept over everyone, “Who said Madam doesn’t have shares in the Davison. Group?
Chapter 167 Shifting Perspectives In the tranquil embrace of an online community, the unexpected disclosure of Miles‘ orientation reverberated widely, catching many off guard. “Wait, Miles is gay? And he has a boyfriend? So, there’s probably no romantic involvement between him and Kate.” “Absolutely none! Those images they shared–they’ve been twisted beyond recognition. Even the original photos, untampered, reveal a different narrative. It’s clear as day they’re being misrepresented.” “Rumours hinted that Kate’s ascent in the global design contest stemmed from an improper bond with Miles, but such claims are utterly unfounded.” “Could it be jealousy at play, seeking to mar the reputations of both Kate and Miles?” The mood among the online community swiftly shifted. Ultimately, Miles‘ forthright revelation sufficed to dispel any shadow of doubt about his and Kate’s relationship. The unfounded criticisms directed towards Kate online were effortlessly rebuffed. However, in the same breath, scrutiny now focused on Miles himself. “Oh dear, so Miles is gay, huh?” “Hmm, well, it can be controversial in this sphere.” “Why’d he do it at this particular moment though? I mean him coming out! “I don’t think he did it per se. Someone leaked the intel. He just decided to say f*ck it and face it head on. Yeah, gays aren’t that many here at home, but you see them everywhere overseas.” “Love is love, people. No war, just peace.” The currents of online discourse veered swiftly from Kate to Miles. Miles‘ steady voice resonated from the other end, “Muse, fret not for me. My bond with Kyle shall soon be unveiled. It is time he received the recognition he is due.” Kate sensed a stirring within her heart. With eyes slightly damp, she found her voice after a lingering silence, sofily speaking, “Congratulations to you. both.” Miles chuckled warmly. “Muse, remind Davison to reward me handsomely when the moment. arrives!” Kate chuckled in return. I shall ensure it.” The revelation of Miles‘ coming out captured public attention, indirectly affirming Kate’s integrity. Balance: 1 Coins 1603 + 778 1 Pearls Chapter 167 Shifting Perspectives Finished if Miles‘ coming out was true, it should not have surfaced at this juncture. Thus, Miles chose to shoulder the responsibility now, deflecting focus to absolve Kate from undue scrutiny. Kate was resolute, her fists clenched, her gaze unwavering towards the prone figure of Eric, unconscious on the other side. The aftermath of the explosion had left him in a coma, the physicians grappling with the uncertainty of his awakening, his plight shrouded in concern over a severe head injury. After much internal reflection, Kate delicately removed her IV tube and turned to Hendrick with a firm countenance, Hendrick, escort me to the Davison Group.

Chapter 166 Out of His Mind Kate swiftly perused the messages before her, a glint of detachment in her eyes. She dialled George’s number, her voice crisp and authoritative, “George, what is the current situation of Davison Group?” George released a sigh tinged with resignation, his reply subdued, “Madam, your focus should be on your recovery. Davison Group is stable.” “Don’t lie to me.” Kate’s casual remark halted George’s response. “The legal and PR teams of Lowe Group are at your disposal. Inform me if issues arise.” There was a moment of hesitation from George before he answered, “Understood.” In the midst of the tumultuous call, Kate queried, “Have Davison Group’s rivals seized upon this situation?” Rubbing his temples, George unconsciously revealed, “Yes, they are exploiting Mr. Eric’s injury to spread false rumours, aiming to undermine Davison Group and seize market share.” A spark of resolve ignited in Kate’s eyes as she decisively instructed, “Stick to the strategy devised with Ric. Focus on countering Davison Group’s competitors, dispel the online falschoods about Eric’s condition or demise. As for myself…. that’s not your concern at present.” George paused momentarily before he sombrely answered, “Understood!” After concluding the call, Kate wanted to call Miles, but before she could make the call, a sudden notification flashed on her phone. Breaking news! Internationally renowned designer Miles comes out as gay!” Miles‘ coming out caught on camera!‘ Kate’s eyes widened in astonishment as she stared at the notification on her phone, instinctively tapping on it. The article displayed several photos, clandestine snapshots of Miles in what appeared to be intimate moments with a fair–haired, blue–eyed foreign youth. Taken in a dimly lit setting, the photos captured embraces and even kisses between them. The article boldly disclosed Miles‘ orientation, substantiating its claims with compelling evidence.

Chapter 165 Court of Public Opinion. The scene turns to Silverwood Hospital. Pale and trembling, Kate lay on the hospital bed, her eyes slowly opening as if emerging from a deep slumber. Subconsciously, she sat up, her gaze searching for Eric. Hendrick, quick to her side, gently supported Kate and murmured, “Kate, take it easy. Eric is right beside you in the hospital bed. There’s no imminent danger to his life.” Hearing Hendrick’s reassurance, Kate finally found some respite in her heart. She turned to look at Eric, tears welling up in her eyes. Eric’s right arm and leg were swathed in bandages, an IV drip and monitoring devices tethered to him. His countenance was pallid and grave, brow slightly furrowed and his head wrapped in a bandage. Kate’s heart clenched with every beat. Hendrick had briefed her on Eric’s condition, easing her anxiety somewhat, but worry still lingered. Thank goodness… Eric hadn’t endured days trapped in that stifling darkness, as in her previous life. Few. had known of his venture to the abandoned factory in the city’s eastern outskirts then; his absence was only. noted after concerns grew, and he was eventually rescued from beneath debris. This time, though brief, Kate had seen the grisly bloodstains lining the walls of Eric’s confinement. She could only imagine his anxiety during those moments. The thought pained her deeply. She gazed at Eric for a long while before turning to Hendrick, her voice hesitant yet urgent, “Where is George?” George had always been steadfast in his vigil by Eric’s bedside during times of injury, yet now Kate couldn’t spot him anywhere. Hendrick pursed his lips, hesitated momentarily, then spoke with a touch of helplessness, “He’s gone to Davison Group to maintain order and handle business.” Kate was momentarily taken aback, recalling George’s role as steward of Summer Estate, formerly Eric’s trusted aide. Lucas, too, lay injured from the explosion, necessitating investigation and management of its fallout… Lost in thought, Kate reached into her pocket, only to find her phone missing. Confusion clouded her expression as she turned to Hendrick, “Hendrick, where’s my phone?” Hendrick’s eyes flickered briefly, before he advised, “Kate, you’re still weak.

Miles and the wife of Davison Group caught in affair scandal. ‘Kate advances to the finals of the esteemed International Design Competition thanks to Miles pulling the strings” ‘The nature of Kate’s relationship with Miles remains ambiguous. ‘Meanwhile, Hendrick, at the helm of Lowe Group, engaged in suburban racing, his pursuits echoing in distant streets. ‘A sudden explosion rocked the castern suburbs, plunging the fate of Eric, CEO of Davison Group, into precarious uncertainty. Kate furrowed her brow as she scanned through each successive news update. Shouldn’t the matters of the international design competition be settled by now? Why did these insinuations about her and Miles persist? The malicious gossip churned her stomach, yet her foremost concern lay with the news Eric’s mysterious disappearance. The news had already wrought havoc on Davison Group’s stock, plunging it into a rapid descent. Within Davison Group’s headquarters, George juggled a myriad of responsibilities, yearning for more hands to manage them all. Daily operations under Eric’s absence, strategising against opposition attacks, and quelling the deluge of negative online publicity concerning not only Eric but also Miles and Kate–these tasks demanded urgent attention. In essence, Davison Group resembled a relentless spinning top, whirling tirelessly amidst the tumultuous currents of crisis.
Chapter 164 A Matter of Time Kate, let the doctor see to your hand first, Hendrick urged gently, guiding the physician toward her. His eyes brimmed with sympathy as he observed her. Kate stared blankly at the closed doors of the operating theatre, offering no resistance as the doctor began tending to her wounded hand. Meanwhile, George and Miles swiftly completed the necessary hospital procedures before returning anxiously to stand vigil outside the theatre. Witnessing the distress etched on Kate’s face, both Miles and George were at a loss for words, uncertain how best to comfort her in such a trying moment. All they hey could do was wait, hoping for Eric to emerge from the surgery soon. By the time Eric’s procedure concluded, the first light of dawn painted the eastern sky. Anxious and eager, Kate rose from her seat, nearly stumbling before Hendrick steadied her. “Doctor, how is he?” Miles asked urgently as the operating room doors creaked open. The physician sighed heavily. “He sustained injuries from the explosion, but luckily, a nearby wall shielded him somewhat. However, there are concerns about his organs due to the blast impact, as well as a head injury possibly leading to concussion. He’s got a fractured shin, a broken arm, and significant blood loss, so he’ll need a period of rest.” Upon hearing the doctor’s assessment, tears welled up in Kate’s eyes as she peered at the pallid figure of Eric lying in the hospital bed. A sense of helplessness washed over her, despite having imagined this scenario during the agonising wait. Though she couldn’t change the events leading to Eric’s ordeal, she found barely any solace in having found him swiftly. All it accomplished was reducing the time he endured in darkness and uncertainty. You’re useless, Kate. Kate’s bitter smile wavered, a swell of self–blame and exhaustion clouding her vision until unconsciousness claimed her. “Kate!” Before drifting into oblivion, Hendrick’s desperate cry reached her ears. Swiftly, a group of concerned individuals rallied around her, ushering Kate into the emergency room. Hendrick steadfastly remained at her side, while George and Miles escorted Eric to the VIP ward.

Their shares will surely plummet!” “And Lowe Group as well, with Hendrick, their CEO, embroiled in street racing scandals,” added another. Public opinion surged online, stirring the PR teams of both Lowe Group and Davison Group into frenzied action. Amidst the aftermath of the explosion, rumours of a supposed affair between Kate and Miles spread unchecked. Observing the unfolding drama, Simon’s face lit up with a triumphant grin. Turning to his companion seated across the private room, he spoke with evident admiration, “Mr. Younghusband, your strategy is truly masterful. A touch of deception and Eric was outmanoeuvred. It’s regrettable the scoundrel survived!” The man opposite him emitted a deep, chilling chuckle, his voice dripping with malice, “If once. isn’t enough, then we shall start anew. And again. And again if needed–let us see how long Eric can endure with his weaknesses laid bare before me!” Simon nodded enthusiastically, “Your tactics are peerless. It’s only a matter of time until Eric meets his downfall!” The man regarded Simon’s unctuous manner with disdain, issuing a scornful laugh in response.
Chapter 163 Found Him Kate observed Lucas’s quiet stance, fists clenched. Her gaze turned icy as she questioned, “Lucas, what’s behind all this?” Lucas met her stare unwaveringly. “Madam, I cannot reveal that.” A glint of frustration sparked in Kate’s eyes. “And why not?” What had driven Eric, who had moments ago been watching her accept an award at Starlight Tower, to suddenly abandon everything and charge headlong into this abandoned factory? Kate pondered this question, finding no answers, yei Lucas seemed to hold the key. His refusal to speak only deepened the mystery, Faced with Lucas’s unyielding silence, Kate took a deep breath. She She realised that no matter how hard she pressed, the answers she sought were not forthcoming from Lucas. Her only recourse now was to persist in her quest to find Eric.

Beside him, barely clinging to life, lay the last bodyguard, a testament to the peril that had befallen them. Vehicles swiftly departed, racing towards Silverwood Hospital. Kate, gripping Eric’s chilled hand tightly, boarded the ambulance. Tears cascaded down her face, yet her spirit soared with gratitude as she observed the rise and fall of his chest, the visible wounds not as dire as feared. Thank goodness, she thought fervently. Thank goodness he was still breathing, and the injuries, though serious, were not beyond remedy.

He must be!” Lucas remained conscious and had taken refuge in a corner, sustaining only minor injuries. When he heard Kate’s voice, he responded faintly, “Mr. Eric is still in there, but we’re not together A flicker of guilt shimmered in his eyes. “It’s all on me. I was ensnared and brought calamity upon Mr. Eric!” Lucas’s voice broke as his body trembled, emotions unravelling uncontrollably.

I’m sure of it. Now let’s just wait for the rescue team to show up. Don’t charge into danger again.” Kate nodded almost robotically. When she tried to breathe, she noticed her body was sapped of all strength. Hendrick helped her get to a safe spot, and they waited, but she wouldn’t stop staring at the explosion site.

Right now, the most important thing was finding out what happened in Eastward! Miles and a few Davison Group employees had just gotten into a car when the explosion happened. His expression altered dramatically as he heard the boom coming from the east, and he hurried in that direction.

She ignored everything and staggered out of the car, racing in the direction of the shuttered facility. As she ran towards the wreckage, her mind raced. “Kate!” Hendrick’s pupils constricted suddenly. He quickly grabbed the somewhat frantic Kate, loudly shouting, “Kate, it’s dangerous ahead. You can’t go in!” Kate struggled, shouting in desperation, “No! Hendrick, Eric is in there!” Hendrick’s body shook violently! But he still restrained Kate. “Kate, calm down!
