At Quantum Capital Building

Be had a long, tiring meeting with the legal team, during which they discussed the legal steps thepany would take in cases of defamation and various other cases they take for their otherpanies.

The meeting started at two in the afternoon and had just finished at four-thirty. She was exhausted as she walked back to her office.

She needed a warm cafette to shake off her tiredness.

However, Be was surprised when she opened the door and saw Stefan curled up on the sofa, with his head covered in his hoodie.

"Huh!? Why is he sleeping here?" Be stopped right on the door, smiling. Just before she could ask someone, a female secretary approached her hurriedly.

"Ms. Donovan, I’m sorry," the secretary stammered, her voice tinged with anxiety. "I tried to persuade your friend to wait outside, but he insisted on waiting for you in your room despite my warnings that your meeting would stretch for hours."

Be smiled at her.

"It’s okay. You did the right thing. You may continue your work," she said and entered the room.

She didn’t rush to wake Stefan. Instead, she tidied up her desk—her husband would pick her up in thirty minutes.

Later, she made two cups of coffee before joining Stefan in the sitting area. She woke him up after putting the espresso on the table near him.

Seeing Stefan wake up and rub his still-sleepy face made Be feel sorry for him. He must be exhausted and struggling to adjust to the time difference between here and New York, his base.

Stefan’s eyes narrowed at Be, and he quickly grabbed his sses from the table and put them on.

"Oh, you’re finally back, sister..." He greeted Be in a hoarse and deep voice. His slight smile framed his face, and he looked happy to see her again.

"Hmm," Be responded with a small smile, watching Stefan sit up properly to face her.

"You should sleep upstairs, in your own room, Stefan! Why are you waiting for me here?" Be said faintly, worried about his health. This kid really didn’t care about his well-being.

"I’m fine, sis...I just need to rest my eyes." Stefan grinned as he ruffled his hair, trying to fix some of the strands covering his eyes.

Be sighed deeply before gesturing for him to drink his coffee.

"Drink your coffee; you need it to wake up. And don’t sleep now...try to adjust to the time here." She worried about his jeg.

Stefan nodded and sipped the warm coffee before looking at Be again, "Finally, your boring meeting is over, sis..."

Be was surprised to hear Stefan’s words spot-on.

"How do you know I was bored inside?" Be asked. She didn’t like discussing legal matters, preferring to focus on business strategy. In the past, when she was still active at the head office, Jack handled problems like this.

"I checked the CCTV and saw you were busy looking at your phone and typing something fast."

"Hahaha..." Be’sughter echoed in the room. She remembered that she was exchanging messages with Tristan.

"Well, I wasn’t ying around. I was sending a message to my husband," Be continued as she ced hertte cup on the table. "How is the work you are doing now? Is there any progress you can report?"

"Oh, yeah! Sis, this is why I can’t wait to meet you and update you on the current situation in East City." Instantly, Stefan’s sleepy eyes disappeared, reced by excitement, as if a me was burning in his eyes.

Be was thrilled to hear about the progress of the mess they were creating for the Donovan Group.

"Alright. You have my full attention now. Tell me the important points only."

"Your family’s shares have dropped to their lowest value since they were listed on the stock exchange. In addition, the case I posted on the inte has triggered a police investigation into their officers who allegedly have epted bribes from the Donovan Group."

Instantly, Be’s body stiffened, and her smile faded upon hearing that. All day, she had been too busy. She didn’t check what news Stefan had uploaded to the inte.

"Oh my lord, you’ve released the bribery scandal with government officials? Any chance anyone could trace it back to you?" She was surprised to hear that.

"Yes and no. Yes... that’s the only case I thought could be released to cause the Donovan Group’s shares to fall quickly. And no worry, no one can trace it back to me without my knowledge," Stefan answered, happy and proud to have done his work efficiently, fast, and discreetly.

However, sitting in her seat, Be immediately felt her heart beating faster. She didn’t expect the news to involve a police investigation and high government officials.

Stefan continued, "Your uncle hasn’t left the office all day, and all their telmunications devices have been turned off. I don’t know what they’re doing now, but I know from your aunt that they’re, as a matter of fact, in chaos. We managed—" Stefan fell silent when he saw her face looking pale. "Sister Be, why do you look pale? Are you okay?"

Be snapped out when she heard Stefan call her. Trying to adjust her shock, she smiled at him, "Pale? No. I’m not…I’m fine!" she said while sandwiching her face with her palms.

"I can see you don’t look fine, Sis. Do you perhaps not like the results?" Stefan scratched his head, which didn’t itch. He was afraid that Be wouldn’t like the results they achieved today.

"I can release other news that can immediately make their share price plummet...to the bottom of the abyss," he grins.

"No, you don’t have to. I’m content with the progress you made today. There’s no need to release any other news." Be immediately stopped him.

Stefan’s brow furrowed, "Are you sure, Sis?"

"Yes. Continue with what we have nned."

Stefan was silent for a moment, observing Be’s expression. She was no longer as shocked as before. Her facial color had returned to normal, and her eyes looked calm.

He nodded in agreement with her before saying, "Okay..."
