Billionaire Ex-wife: I Can't Live Without You

Dulcies heart skipped a beat.

Was he serious, or was this just daylight robbery? You have no right to enforce that, Kyson! she retorted, her voice firm and challenging.

Kyson snorted and seized her wrist.

The Shaw Group belongs to me.

Im the one who makes the decisions about the contracts.

If you cant accept that, feel free to discuss it with our legal department.noveldrama

His authoritative presence was on full display again, leaving Dulcie at a loss for words.

She fixed him with a stare, her silence a quiet protest.

Kyson looked at her, amused, as if she were an irritated cat, and his interest in her defiance grew.

If you cant cover the penalty fees, resigning after the end of the contract is your only option. It seemed they were on the brink of a cat-and-mouse game.

Their eyes locked.

In the end, Dulcie conceded.

She wasnt ready to challenge him yet, not with her job under his strict control.

Observing her sullen expression, Kyson couldnt help but feel entertained.

If youre feeling overwhelmed and out of sorts lately, I could allow you some time off.

Dulcie responded with icy firmness, Mr.

Shaw, I would appreciate it if you would leave my office.

I have work to do.

She then turned her attention to her computer screen, dismissing him.

With a smirk, Kyson walked out, leaving her office behind.

In the CEOs office, Kurt entered with a stack of documents cradled in his arms.

He noticed Kysons lingering smile, hinting at a pleasant evening the night before.

Shaw, here are the documents for your signature, Kurt said as he opened the folder to the last page.

Theres been an update from Medican.

Hollis has moved the hostages.

As they gathered intelligence, it became clear that Hollis had covertly relocated the hostages.

Got it, Kyson responded aloofly, anticipating Hollis actions.

Hollis wouldnt easily release the hostages. They were his leverage.

Kyson continued signing the documents without interruption.

Kurt, pressing on with more information, added, Theres another development.

Among the hostages is Lucindas former assistant.

The assistant was sent there to discuss the collaboration with us.

Kyson paused mid-signature, his interest piqued.

Whats the stance of the Simmons Group? he inquired.

Knowing Lucindas character well, Kyson mused that if her employee was among the hostages, she would undoubtedly take matters into her own hands to secure their release.

Kurt shook his head, his voice tinged with concern.

The Simmons Group hasnt made a move yet.

What are we going to do
