Why should I ask you?
Jake sneered. Keira, this is a personnel change within the Horton Group, your opinions are irrelevant.
What about Dr. Souths opinion?
Keiras tone was very light, with a hint of mockery in her expression.
Jake was taken aback. What does Dr. Souths opinion have to do with you?
Could she know Dr. South?
The smile on Keiras lips grew colder. I am
Before she could say the words Dr. South, Luca suddenly stepped forward, blocking her way.
Ill follow Jalens instructions!
Keiras pupils contracted in shock as she looked at
Luca.
The other members of the team also laughed and
chimed in.

Yes, well follow Jalens instructions!
Keira looked incredulously at the team members.
Just half an hour ago, they were attacking her for not working effectively, but now, they were unequivocally standing with her.
Jake wasnt just a deputy head of the RD Department, but he was also the legitimate grandson of the Horton family.
Once his power became invincible, how could these people, who had enraged him, continue to work at Horton Group?
But they werent considering this at all
Keiras throat tightened, and there was a smile in her
eyes.
Jakes face grew even uglier. He suppressed his anger and sneered. It seems that the pressure of RD on you all isnt as much as I thought, hence the lack of need for Dr. Souths help. In that case, I presume the final task of this project wouldnt be much of a challenge for you all? Have the solution submitted by the end of this Friday.

The entire project timeline was divided into two parts, with teams one and two responsible for one part each.
The biggest challenge of the project was to perfectly integrate these two parts.
Handing over this task to Group One wasnt an issue. Jalen could certainly solve the problem in a couple of months. However, Jake had only given them a week!
Jalen protested angrily, This is totally unreasonable!
Jake simply retorted: If Dr. South were to do it, it would be solved in three days. You dont need Dr. Souths help because you think youre great, right? One week is more than enough!
Having left those words, he turned and left.
Keiras eyes darkened slightly. She followed him out of
the office and said, Shall we talk?
Jake narrowed his eyes, and the two went into the
corridor outside.
Keira looked at him. Care to make a bet?
The sudden proposition made Jake feel bewildered.
He was reminded of his senior year in college when he

had also used this method to pursue her.
He had said to her, Keira, do you dare to bet? Lets see who finishes their graduation thesis first. The one who loses must grant the winner a request.
She had looked at him in a way that suggested that she found him childish, but she eventually nodded in
agreement.
He had stayed up several nights in a row to complete his thesis successfully.
When he went to find her, he proposed to gift her something at the graduation ceremony, which she shouldnt refuse
But in the end, that gift was never given.
She was an illegitimate daughter. This rendered his four years of pursuit seemingly pathetic!
Jakes expression gradually turned contemptuous as he looked at Keira. Why should I bet with you?
Keira goaded him on. Are you afraid of losing to me again?
Jake was startled. Again?

Keira took out her phone, opened her email and handed it to him. I won last time.
Jake looked at the time of the email on her phone, only
to find out that she submitted her thesis the day after they made their bet!
He narrowed his eyes.
Only then did he realize that he had never caught up
to her pace
His male ego couldnt stop him from asking, Whats the bet?
Keira slowly said, If Group One can submit the
solution before the end of this Friday, and Dr. South has yet to provide you with a solution, then you will never interfere with Group Ones work again!
She wasnt going to stay here for a long time, so she wanted to help her colleagues in Group One resolve
their future concerns.
Jake sneered. If you guys dont hand it in, but Dr.
South provides me with a solution, youll have to follow my orders from now on!
Deal.

Jake looked at her decisive demeanor and couldnt help but ask, Keira, I know youre excellent in your field, but what makes you think you can beat Dr. South?
Keira sneered. Do you really think that Dr. South is going to help you solve the problem? Did he promise you in person that he would serve as technical support for Horton Group?
Jake was taken aback.
Keira didnt pay him any more attention, she went back to Group One in the RD Department, only to find everyone sighing.
When they saw her, they quickly exchanged glances and intentionally started making comments.
Hey, meeting Dr. South isnt really that exciting Hes a high and mighty god. Even if we meet him once, its not like well be instantly enlightened!
Yes. If I meet him once, will my IQ increase to 250?

Keira, dont worry. This project is so challenging. Even if we cant complete it, what can Jake do to us?

Even Jalen coughed loudly and roared. Enough! Cant you see that new work has been assigned? What are you all gossiping about here?! Get to work! Meet me in the conference room. Were redistributing the tasks!
Coming!
Keira watched as everyone rushed into the conference room, then casually sauntered in after them.
Jalen seemed to be waiting for her. Only after she entered did he start distributing the tasks
At the end of the day, Keira thought everyone would need to work overtime, but surprisingly, everyone packed their things and left.
Keira, with her laptop in hand, headed for the underground parking lot.
She didnt notice that after she left, all of her colleagues from Group One who had already left
returned to work overtime.
In the underground parking lot, inside a Bentley.
Tom asked, Boss, shall we go?
Theres no rush.

Lewis said lightly, still holding a thick book in his hand.
Tom was just about to ask who he was waiting for when he saw Keira approaching and getting into the
car.
Only then did Lewis look up. Lets go.
Tom was dumbfounded.
Was Lewis waiting for Miss Olsen to leave together?
The car drove smoothly along the road.
Keira looked at Lewis and glanced at the book in his hands, intending to borrow it for reference. But remembering her work, she decided to wait and borrow it three days later.
The two of them didnt say anything on the way back and quickly returned to the hospital.
Just as they reached the VIP ward area on the third floor, they could hear Poppys loud voice. Mrs. Horton, I came especially to see you What a pleasure
Old Mrs. Horton blocked the entrance to the ward, glaring at Poppy. Get out! If you dont leave, Ill have
someone beat you un!

Poppy forced a smile, playing the part of a haggler. Im Keiras mother. You love Keira the most, dont you? You shouldnt treat me like this for her sake
You are not her mother! Old Mrs. Horton was
adamant. Mrs. Olsen is her mother!
At this statement, Poppy broke out into a cold sweat and shot back, How do you know?! z
