CHAPTER 86: CHAPTER 86: THANKS TO ADRIAN LANCASTER

"Grandpa..." The man’s mouth was bleeding, his breath weak.

"Brandon, what’s happened to you?" The Old Master Lancaster leaned in after getting closer and found he was severely injured. He couldn’t help but widen his eyes in shock and quickly ordered, "Quick! Quick! Take him to the hospital!!"

The Prestige Group, with its towering skyscrapers, has become the landmark buildings of Argent. The brilliant sunlight reflected off the buildings, making it a place of dreams for countless young people.

The young and handsome Adrian Lancaster was strategizing in the elegant and minimalist office of the CEO.

He sat in the office chair in front of the window, having just finished a video call.

He was processing documents at hand when his private phone, placed beside the mouse, rang. He glanced at the caller ID, picked up the phone, and answered, "Hello, Grandpa."

"Was Brandon’s injury your doing?" the Old Master Lancaster asked in a deep voice on the other end of the phone.

Adrian Lancaster calmly closed the document in his hand, leaned gently against the back of his chair, and narrowed his eyes slightly, "Did he tell you that?"

"Can he even speak, being hurt like that?" Grandpa said somewhat adamantly, "I guessed." His tone was somewhat stern as well.

He was injured too seriously!

Adrian Lancaster’s expression remained calm. He held the phone in one hand and gently, rhythmically tapped the table with the other, "Grandpa, he wouldn’t relent himself, almost harming your beloved granddaughter-in-law."

Before Grandpa could speak, in order to quell his anger, Adrian continued, "Who knows, maybe Faye has that precious great-grandson you’ve been longing for in her belly. After all, we’ve been sleeping together every day lately."

At this moment, Ivy Jennings came in, but she was a step late and did not hear what the CEO had just said.

Upon seeing Ivy Jennings, Adrian Lancaster’s expression appeared even calmer.

The old man on the other end of the phone was very surprised, "Brandon troubling Faye?" Such things cannot be tolerated!

Adrian Lancaster didn’t say much more; he never lied.

His throat sexily rolled once, and he spoke in a deep voice, "I spared his life this time; consider it showing mercy. Please inform him that if it happens again, it won’t be so easy."

Ivy Jennings sat down at her seat and noticed the CEO’s cold eyes, as dark as an ancient well, with the entire aura around him becoming chilly.

After speaking, Adrian Lancaster was in no hurry to hang up the phone.

The old man on the other end of the phone sighed heavily and voluntarily hung up, without a word of blame for his beloved grandson.

Adrian Lancaster put down the phone and returned to his work.

Ivy Jennings did not dare to look at him and withdrew her gaze, starting to organize the materials to report to him later.

On the 11th floor, in the large meeting room of the design department.

Nancy Jennings sat in the lead position surrounded by all the designers. The atmosphere today was somewhat tense.

To be honest, this department rarely held meetings unless there were important announcements.

Nancy Jennings first asked everyone about their creative progress.

Everyone reported briefly, and within five to six minutes, everyone had said a word or two.

Nancy Jennings had a grasp of the situation and said—

"The CEO is particularly focused on the ’Eternal Glance’ series. This is our department’s great opportunity to showcase our skills, so make sure to seize it. I’m telling you, the competition is growing because we’ve recruited new talent in the design department."

What?

New talent?

Everyone looked at each other, extremely surprised, and began whispering among themselves. The meeting room was filled with a bustling sound.

"To be honest, I was surprised too," Nancy Jennings seemed unwilling, clapped her hands, "Quiet!"

But she’s the boss of the design department, she couldn’t go against the higher-ups, and she needed to pacify the sentiments of the people below.

The meeting room instantaneously quieted down, all eyes focused on her.

At this moment, the beautiful Danni spoke up, "Director, does the CEO look down on our capabilities? Does he think we’re not competent? Does he even understand us?"

"Who are we hiring? Is it already decided?" Jake, with a new nose ring, asked directly, "Tell us, who exactly? What’s their background?"

"The new talent in the recent design world is Serena Sutton, who is quite famous and has unlimited potential," Nancy Jennings spoke. "Although she has many titles, I believe none of you here are inferior to her, including Faye Turner!"
