Chapter 301

“What did she say?”

“Ms. Huston said, these things might have been done by you…”

The aunt paused quietly, waiting for a reply from the other end.

Gradually, no sound came from Kieran, making the aunt’s heart grow uneasy, pounding with doubt about whether she should’ve spoken up.

The aunt pursed her lips and decided to say it: “Ms. Huston doesn’t seem to trust you, so no matter how I persuade her, she won’t contact you… I think there might be some misunderstanding between you and Ms. Huston–should we clear it up? After all, you don’t visit her or call, so Ms. Huston doesn’t know you care, and it’s normal for her to be angry.”

The aunt blurted it all out, then shut her mouth, anxiously waiting for Kieran’s response.

On Kieran’s end, it stayed quiet for a moment, and the aunt’s heart raced.

She didn’t know if Kieran would get mad hearing this.

Sweat broke out on the aunt’s palms before she finally heard Kieran’s reply.

“I know.”

The aunt felt relieved and quickly said, “Ah, Mr. Argent, I have nothing else.”

Kieran hung up right away.

The aunt gripped her phone and sighed deeply.

Facing Kieran, the aunt was stunned by the powerful aura and smooth moves of this man under thirty; even though she was thirty years older, she couldn’t lift her head freely or meet his eyes.

The aunt shook her head and walked into the ward to clean up the trash.

After leaving the hospital, Alarieka hailed a taxi and went straight to the temporary office of the Mcintosh Piano Competition organizers, where Paloma had been working on issues lately.

The main venue for the Mcintosh Piano Competition wasn’t in this city but down south; they’d rented a temporary spot in the business district to host it.

It was still work hours, so Paloma should be there.

The hospital was a bit far from the organizers’ office, taking nearly thirty minutes to reach.

The Mcintosh Piano Competition’s temporary office was on the thirty-fourth floor of this fancy office building; Alarieka walked in without being stopped, and since it wasn’t rush hour, few people used the elevator, so she got to the thirty-fourth floor fast.

As a temporary setup, it wasn’t fancy–no reception desk, just two rows of offices visible at a glance.

When Alarieka entered, no one stopped her; she stood at the entrance and could easily hear voices from inside–lots of people arguing and fighting.

Alarieka walked softly over and stood by the office door where the

noise came from.

One voice boomed above the rest: “This must be resolved! Several employees’ private info got leaked, nonstop calls pouring in, and you know damn well how vile those texts are. Plus, the higher-ups are furious – fix it this week! Give me a solution now or you’re all fired!”

“How’d such a simple thing blow up? Every one of you is responsible! Reflect on this properly! Company pays you to work, not sit around! Do your damn jobs, find solutions, quit moping – pisses me off! Why’d we even hire you?”

“Useless bunch! Can’t handle this? Worthless! Absolutely worthless!”

Alarieka Huston’s brows slowly furrowed again.

The man’s words grew increasingly outrageous and agitated. Even standing outside the door, Alarieka could hear how loudly he was shouting, his voice seeming to echo throughout the entire floor.

Inside the office, no other sound could be heard over his voice.

The office had semi-transparent glass walls. Alarieka vaguely saw the room packed with people, yet no one uttered a word.

The man suddenly roared, “Speak up! Are you all mute? Can’t get a single word out?
