Chapter 14 There was silence at the other end of the phone. Summer felt stuffy. “I’m sorry. I can’t promise you. You can even fire me, and Alick won’t cause you trouble anymore.” “Rachel, you joined the UnitedIslands Group before it was not well known. You are the chief designer now. The company developed with you. Are you going to abandon it?” Lamont’s words touched Summer. Lamont was right. She had devoted herself to building the UnitedIslands Group. Alick had taken away her eldest son. She couldn’t let Alick destroy the UnitedIslands Group! Summer took a deep breath and said firmly, “What’s Alick’s request? I want to see him.” Therefore, Lamont hurriedly recounted what his secretary said. “Rachel, there are less than 20 hours left.” “Got it.” Before hanging up the phone, Summer added, “Remember it.” Fay heard their conversation and looked at Summer worriedly. “Summer, if you don’t want to go, we can think of other ways.” Summer shook her head slightly. They just met in the company designated by Alick. Alick didn’t dare to bully her in public. “I’ll drive you there tomorrow.” Fay was worried. “Okay.” The next morning, Summer took a car to the UnitedIslands Group. Fay parked the car and kept her eyes on Summer. “You really don’t need my help?” HOO Chapter 14 Summer took out her lipstick and fixed her make–up. “I’ll be okay. Go back, and you don’t need to wait for me.” Fay didn’t continue to persuade her. She just told Summer to contact her if anything happened. Summer opened the door of Lamont’s office in stiletto heels. However, there was only Lamont in the office. When Lamont saw Summer, his eyes lit up, and he stood up from the chair. “Rachel, you are finally here.” Summer looked around worriedly, fearing that Alick’s subordinates hid somewhere. “Where is he?” Lamont smiled and said, “Just now, Bill said that Mr. Hill was waiting for you in the Hill Group.” Hearing this, Summer wanted to leave. Lamont grabbed her arm in a hurry. “Rachel, you must go. The company’s fate is in your hands.” Suppressing her anger, Summer shook off Lamont’s hand. “I see.” 068% 17:52 After leaving the UnitedIslands Group, Summer didn’t take a taxi immediately. After all, there were still a few hours left before the appointed time with Alick. Just let him wait! It was rush hour now. Summer wandered outside for two hours before calling a taxi unhurriedly. “To the Hill Group.” Looking out of the window at the familiar street, Summer felt more depressed. She was familiar with any route to the Hill Group. A few years ago, when she was young, she fell in love with Alick regardless of Fay’s dissuasion.

Now, she just wanted to slap herself and tell herself, “Wake up!” The taxi stopped at the entrance of a towering building. After paying, Summer calmed down and walked in. Perhaps Alick or Bill had informed the receptionists in advance, so the receptionists didn’t stop her. Summer went straight into the president’s exclusive elevator, which attracted the employees‘ attention on the first floor. People gossiped. Who was this aggressive woman? As the elevator doors opened, Summer saw Bill waiting beside her. With a faint smile on his face, Bill said, “Ms. White, please follow me.” Summer raised her head. Bill led her to Alick’s office and knocked on the door. “Mr. Hill, Ms. White is here.” Bill stepped aside and signaled Summer to go in.. Summer took a deep breath, put her hand on the doorknob, and suddenly withdrew it. Anyway, she had to prepare for the worst. Bill looked at Summer in surprise. If Bill had known she would flinch, he would have opened the door for her. At least he must complete the task arranged by Alick. “Send a message. Summer said to Bill in a low voice while typing. Before Bill answered, Summer quickly connected to the wireless network and sent a message to Fay. Then she deleted the message record and turned off her phone. The whole process took less than one minute. She asked Fay to take care of Abby and Ballard if she didn’t come back. Summer put the phone into her bag and opened the office door without hesitation. Emergency calls only f Chapter 14 Alick sat upright in front of his desk and looked at her coldly. Somehow, her eldest son’s face flashed through Summer’s mind. No wonder Sanford was so stubborn. Alick had influenced him. 零售68% 68% 17:59 Seeing that Summer was absent–minded, Alick became more depressed. “Come here,” Alick ordered. The corner of Summer’s mouth twitched slightly. She took two steps forward and didn’t listen to Alick completely. “Mr. Hill, you tried every means to invite me here. You have decided what compensation you want, haven’t you?” “You have my son.” Summer’s heart sank, and her expression became stiff. How much did Alick know? No! Alick was snooping! “Mr. Hill, I don’t know what you are talking about.”
