?Chapter 628:


    “They wouldn’t dare say anything to my face.”


    On the other hand, if he were to forgo overtime and leave the following day, he would face reprimands from the executives.


    Ellie chuckled. “Then I’ll let you go. I still have something that I have to do.”


    “Wait!” Kaiden stopped her. “Have you forgotten something?”


    “Didn’t you call me? What did I forget?” Ellie was confused once again. Kaiden parted his lips to say something but decided against it. Feeling crestfallen, he hung up the phone, gritting his teeth in frustration.


    Today, he witnessed a manager and his wife blowing a kiss to each other before ending the call.


    Why wasn’t Ellie like that?


    She still didn’t think to do it even when he dropped hints to her. Ellie felt cheerful after her video chat with Kaiden, and her smile persisted as she neared Kristopher.


    She continued where they had stopped before the video call. “Mr. Wright, regarding the hush money…”


    “Let’s talk about itter. I haven’t decided yet,” Kristopher teased. Ellie nodded. “Okay!”


    After a moment of silence, Ellie tentatively asked, “You… Are you in a bad mood?”


    Kristopher stopped twisting the ring on his finger and quickly regained hisposure. “No.”


    “If you encounter any difficulties, you can tell me,” Ellie said, suppressing her suspicion.


    After all, he had gifted her hundreds of millions of dors!


    Kristopher raised his head and looked at Ellie with a deep gaze. “Miss Gordon, if something that has always been yours suddenly bes someone else’s, what would you do?”


    The question seemed cryptic to Ellie, and she pondered momentarily. “What’s meant to be mine will stay mine. It will never be someone else’s. However, if it does be someone else’s, then it was never really mine in the first ce.”

    “Is that so?” Kristopher disagreed.


    That night, led by Garfield, Kristopher and his medical team were guided to a separate vi. Tobias looked on enviously.


    Darrell’s face darkened.


    Carole sighed. “Miss Gordon is popr!”


    Darrell snorted. “Bah! She’s just a social butterfly! A woman who’s been with Erick and is now fooling around. I don’t know how Kaiden can tolerate it!”


    Carole nced at Darrell and said sadly, “Miss Gordon and I have a grudge against each other. I’m afraid she won’t be nice to me for the next two days.”


    “Don’t worry, Carole. I’ll protect you! I’ll show her not to mess with you!” Darrell immediately reassured her, extending a supportive gesture.


    Carole averted her gaze and smiled. “I mentioned it casually, but I want to express my gratitude for your kindness.”
