?Chapter 345:


    Demi was seething with rage and about to reply when she stopped short.


    Thement resonated with her: “You share the surname Gordon with her. I assumed you knew each other.”


    A realization struck her; she had another move to y!


    Houston enjoyed coffee with a group of business associates in the cafe. After the discussion, they simultaneously brought up their children.


    A bald gentleman remarked, “By the way, I fear none of our children can match Mr. Gordon’s excellence! I truly admire you, Mr. Gordon!”


    Another executive chimed in, “Absolutely! Lately, my ineffectual son has been idolizing your daughter’s pictures, Mr. Gordon. I’m clueless about his intentions. Hahaha, I genuinely don’tprehend the youth nowadays.”


    “Precisely! Mr. Gordon, my daughter shared your daughter’s resume with me. Oh my god! Graduating as a master in advance with outstanding academic aplishments. Numerous individuals must be vying to tter her.”


    “Are you referring to Ellie?” Houston hesitated to acknowledge it, but the individual graduating as a master in advance couldn’t be Demi.


    “Yes!” The bald man affirmed. “Even though Ellie isn’t your biological daughter, you’ve raised her for twenty years. She’s still your daughter.” He implied something more.


    Those observant could discern the Gordon family’s favoritism towards Demi due to her return, particrly Litzy, who not only praised Demi but also diminished Ellie.


    Houston’s expression grew somber, devoid of a smile. He harbored regrets. Despite being aware of Ellie’s exceptional qualities, Demi was, after all, his biological daughter. Moreover, due to Litzy’s favoritism towards Demi, he had overlooked the mistreatment Ellie endured from Litzy and Demi.


    However, now he sincerely regretted it.


    If he had maintained a good rtionship with Ellie, many would have envied him. Furthermore, Ellie married Kaiden, the CEO of GT Group.


    Now, pondering their words, he found them quite reasonable, and a tinge of remorse gripped his heart.

    Ding-dong!


    The elevator doors opened on the highest floor.


    On her way to Kaiden’s office, Ellie sighed with relief, relieved not to encounter any senior executives.


    “Miss Gordon?” Zoey, seated at the primary desk in the secretary’s office, spotted Ellie immediately.


    “I’m looking for Kaiden. Is he in his office?” Ellie nodded and asked.


    Zoey appeared taken aback. “Mr. Thorpe didn’t mention you wereing…” She swiftly changed her tone and added, “Miss Gordon, but you’re an exception. Please,e with me.”


    Zoey then guided Ellie down the hall.


    Ellie silently raised an eyebrow as she observed Zoey’s back. The way Zoey responded didn’t align with typical chief secretary behavior, and Ellie found her words off-putting.


    The initial part of Zoey’s statement seemed deliberately ambiguous, making Ellie wonder if she was overthinking things.


    Ellie recalled calling Kaiden on the day she won her YEAR prize. Kaiden had assumed Zoey answered, so his phone should have been with her. But Ellie couldn’t help but question why Carole had the phone at that moment.
