Chapter 315
Barry immediately recognized the small red leather drum in Alex’s hand. It was the same one Alex had snatched from a baby store five years ag during that desperate escape to see Ellie.
Back then, in the final moments. Ales had been shot by the police and dragged back to prison, leaving only this small drum behind, abandoned at the entrance of the Thompson residence.
When he woke up in prison later, thoughts of Ellie and their child drove him mad. To keep Alex alive, Nancy had no choice but to find someone to crase all memories of Ellie from Alex’s mind.
Even now, Nancy and Todd refused to acknowledge their own grandchildren for the sake of Alex.
“Mr. Warren, Mrs. Warren called and asked you to return to the manor, Barry said, interrupting Alex’s thoughts as he stepped forward. It was just past ten in the morning when Ales returned to the Warren Manor.
“With such chaos happening in the company, where have you been!!” Nancy bellowed as soon as Alex entered the living room, Without showing any emotion. Alex walked into the living room and sat on the sofa opposite his parents, grabbing an orange from the table.
“Mom, I’ve got everything under control with the company. Don’t worry about it.” Alex didn’t want his parents to interfere with the business.
Todd added, “In business, you need to use some tactics, but you can’t go too far and destroy everyone”

“Dad, being soft–hearted is the biggest mistake in business, Alex argued. “You want to give those old fools a chance, but look how they t family! They’ve drained so much from the Warren Group over the past five years! Alex said angrily.
“If I hadn’t acted when I did, there would be no Warren Group left in Jaslands. Out of respect for the past, I spared Minos, but Jerome and his son Hamilton will never get away from me!
Alex stated his position firmly. “Since you handed the company over to me, don’t interfere anymore. I know what I’m doing!”
Todd exchanged a glance with Nancy. He sighed, “Your counterattack isn’t wrong, but you need to learn to exploit others‘ weaknesses and turn their strengths to your advantage. Making allies is always better than creating enemies.”
“Got it, Dad” Alex said. He had his own ideas but didn’t want to argue with his parents.
“Mr. Todd Warren, Mrs. Warren, please don’t worry too much. Although Mr. Alex Warren has been busy cleaning out the corrupt executives at Warren Group, he hasn’t neglected bringing in fresh talent.

He’s also secured cutting–edge tech projects with eight countries. It won’t be long years ago,” Harry explained, seeing the concern on Todd and Nancy’s faces.
Hearing Harry’s reassurance. Todd and Nancy finally let out a sigh of relief, Nancy looked at Alex’s sharp, tired features, the faint exhaustion in his eyes, and couldn’t help but feel a pang of heartache. She sighed dreply, her worry for him evident.
After a brief silence, Nancy changed the subject. “Since you’re so confident about the company, why don’t you take some time off and meet someone I’ve arranged for you?”
Alex paused mid–bite of his orange. He glanced at Nancy, then Todd. He wondered. In the last blind date. I’d almost made the girl faint. How could they still dare to set me up:
“Mom, they faint after just a few words” Alex put down the orange and moved closer to
Nancy.
Nancy waved her hand dismissively. “Don’t worry, Alex. This time, I promise she’s really good.” Alex frowned
“The matchmaker says shes a piano teacher who lost her husband in a car accident just a month after getting married. She’s not only beautiful but also well–mannered. You two should meet; maybe you’ll hit it off.” Nancy continued.
“A widow?”
Alex asked skeptically
“Don’t say it like that. She’s a widow, but she hasn’t had any children, Nancy replied.
Alex suddenly thought of heartless Ellie and sand with dividam, “Even if I’m desperate, I haven’t sunk so low as to consider a second marriage. No
“Alex, there are good matches even in the second–manage market. As long as the person is of good character, the rest doesn’t matter. Nancy
Alex stared at Nancy in disbeliel “Mu
“Mom, you’re not against widows anymore!!”
Tm not against them. As long as you both like each other, that’s what matters, Nancy said calmly.
Alex was speechless.

“Am I a good listener. Aaron?” Diana asked. Aaron smiled and nodded.
“Then do I get a reward” Diana held out her hand expectantly: Aaron hesitated for a moment.
Holding Diana’s hand. Aaron pulled her closer. “I should have prepared something for your discharge. I’ll make it up to you later
“No, I want it now!” Diana poured, pressing herself against him.
Aaron sighed helplessly, giving in to her. “What do you want? I’ll take you to get it right now!
Dian stood on her tiptoes and kissed the corner of Aaron’s lips. “I want you to kiss me back Aaron touched the spot where she’d kissed him, his cars turning bright red in an instant.
He glanced nervously down the hallway, then quickly pulled her closer to the wall, out of sight. Looking into Diana’s eyes, Aaronis Adam’s apple bobbed. His gaze softened, melting everything away. Tonight, I’ll come to pick you up.”
“And you’ll kiss me then 100, right?” Diana pointed to her lips, trying to hide her excitement. They stared at each other, and Aaron couldn’t resist leaning down to kiss Diana’s lips.
At the doorway, Lacey and Ellie pecked out, watching the scene unfold in the corridor. “Ellie. Aaron has been corrupted by Diana! Kissing in public! Lacey grabbed Ellie’s arm, both excited and gossipy. Ellie quickly pulled Lacey back inside.

Im going to the outpatient clinic. Ellie said, using an excuse to leave after seeing Aaron and Diana enter the elevator. Mark hung up his phone and looked at Lacey, who was waiting for him, noticing the fleeting emotions in his eyes.

“I’m busy right now. We can talk later, Mark said.
He tried to leave but was stopped by Lacey. “It’s lunchtime now, your break, Just give me a few minutes, I’ll be quick, Lacey insisted. “Come to my office” Mark conceded, trading Lacey to his office.
Later that everung, just before leaving work. Ellie went to Orion’s hospital room. “Mr. Warren, I’m looking forward to removing your bandages in two days. I’m confident your face will fully recover”
“Thank you Dr. Thompson” Orion’s mood had stabilized significantly since he was admitted
