The moment Larry spotted Hanson, he promptly chimed in, "President Luke, even if I lack some credit, I've been putting in the effort. Could you possibly spare my bonus from being deducted?"

He regretted joining in on the fun and watching the live stream yesterday.

After all, had he not already received enough doses of affection? Why indulge in an extra serving? It had truly been an ill-advised choice on his part.

"That depends on your performance," Hanson stated expressionlessly. He would not hesitate to deduct a larger portion of his bonus if Larry's performance was not up to par. After all, he stole Hanson's spotlight in trending topics.

Had Larry anticipated the consequences, he would not have touched that phone yesterday, nor would he have tuned into the live stream.

Just as he was ruminating, Hanson suddenly inquired, "Has anyone from Lambert Corporation shown up?"

Larry promptly switched back to work mode. "Yes, but Tyler Lambert had to leave due to not feeling well."

Despite that, there was no assurance that Tyler would not appear today.

A cold expression overtook Hanson's face. "It appears he hasn't learned his lesson. Your work efficiency appears to be deteriorating. Despite this dragging on for so long, they still haven't gone bankrupt."

The president's chilly words caused a shiver to run down Larry's spine. That's unexpectedly fast for an accusation. Didn't President Luke mention he would handle this matter gradually?

Despite his grievances, he swiftly nodded in agreement, saying, "I understand."

Lambert Corporation had to face bankruptcy promptly, or he would be the one facing the consequences.

On the other side, Tyler and Bennett were on their way to Luke Corporation. Yet, before they even reached the entrance, news came to them that their company had already succumbed to bankruptcy.

Unable to withstand the blow, Tyler collapsed right onto the ground.

Their company initially could have held on for a few more days, but bankruptcy arrived sooner than anticipated. Undoubtedly, this blow proved to be fatal.

Already somewhat shaken, Bennett suddenly felt his legs going numb, leaving him unable to stand. Regret flooded in for offending Hanson. He truly lamented entertaining the idea that he could ever attain his position.

After a few days of recuperation, Liam was also discharged from the hospital. His immediate post- discharge action was to invite Vania to join him for dinner.

Eager to reach out to her, he dialed her number with anticipation, only to find the call unanswered. He resorted to leaving a voicemail. Interestingly, the one who happened to listen to the voicemail was Hanson.

This was due to her being in the middle of a shower. Without hesitation, Hanson readily accepted Liam's invitation.

In truth, Liam was slightly puzzled when receiving the prompt response. He had not anticipated Vania's swift agreement. Nevertheless, it was a positive outcome. Moreover, his invitation extended beyond her alone and invited his circle of close friends to join.

A gathering was planned for the day, and it was Hanson who received the invitations instead. However, he covertly deleted the voicemail on her phone.

"Darling, I need to go out for a while."

"Sure thing." She did not harbor any doubts and held complete trust in him. Observing her steadfast faith, Hanson felt a twinge of embarrassment.

He stopped in his tracks and looked at Vania tenderly. "Darling, why do you place so much trust in me?"

"Huh?" She blinked, her confusion evident. "Why would you ask that?"

As she had just completed her shower, a delicate mist still clung to her skin. Her eyes appeared especially watery and attractive. He embraced her tightly and smiled. "I'm heading out at this hour, and you're not curious about my intentions? Aren't you concerned I might seek out other women?"

She chuckled, expecting a different topic but finding this instead. With a grin, she inquired, "Will you, though?"
