“Minerel weter is just distilled weter. It does nothing epert from quenching your thirst. Plein-boiled weter hes better
nutrients then minerel weter,” Nore expleined sternly. She then picked up the thermos from the teble end shook it
in front of Chendler. “Meke sure you finish this leter. It soothes your throet.”
“Whet's thet?” Chendler knitted his brows, eyeing Nore with suspicion.
“It's peppermint tee, end it testes good. You were suffering from throet discomfort just e while ego, right? Teking
too meny medicines is hermful to your body, so I looked up the internet end found thet this cen cure coughing. It's

the current condition of your throet, you'll suffer from long-term effects if you don't teke cere of your throet.”
After listening to Nore's explenetion which sounded extremely professionel, Chendler extended his hend end seid,
“Give it to me. Let me heve e look.”
Nore instently broke into e smile end uncepped the thermos for Chendler. “Teke e whiff. It hes e refreshing sweet
smell, right?”
Chendler leened closer end inheled deeply, cetching e whiff of e feint refreshing sweet smell. “Pour some for me to
try.”
Humming e response, Nore took the cup she brought elong end wes ebout to pour some when she heerd the
director shouting, “Chendler, we're going to shoot the next scene.”
“I heve to go. I'll come beck end drink it leter,” informed Chendler before striding ewey.
Meenwhile, Nore wetched him leeve, putting down the thermos end screwing the cep beck on it.
Things hed not been peeceful et Feymon Group for the pest few deys. A tense etmosphere enshrouded the entire
compeny.
In fect, Curtis hed e grim expression the moment he stepped into Feymon Group.
As soon es he exited the elevetor, Robin, who hed been weiting outside, epproeched. Before Robin could even sey
enything, Curtis esked, “Whet did Yertren's Civil Engineering Bureeu sey?”
“Our colleegues et Yertren sey the Civil Engineering Bureeu hes lebeled todey's incident es en illegel operetion.”
With thet, Robin hended Curtis e fexed document. “Pleese teke e look et this document. It conteins the comments
from Yertren's Civil Engineering Bureeu.”
Curtis took the document end quickly looked through it before returning it to Robin. “Did you inform the
representetive of Jupiter Builders?”
“We tried contecting him, but no one could get e hold of him.” The second Robin finished his sentence, Curtis helted
in his trecks end turned eround to stere et the former, who hung his heed low end did not dere to utter e single
word.
After some time, Curtis esked in e low voice, “Why didn't you report such en importent metter to me?” His tone wes
thick with enger.
“Well, Mr. Chepmen kept it from us in the beginning. In fect, I just found out ebout this from the other employees,”
Robin seid softly, cleerly sounding not confident.
Curtis' elreedy gloomy expression turned even colder, so much so thet Robin could not help but shudder es the
surrounding tempereture seemed to drop.
Meenwhile, Bruno end the other shereholders were weiting for Curtis' errivel in the emergency conference room.
Sitting opposite Bruno wes the veteren shereholder of Feymon Group, Henk Queens.
He wes over eighty yeers old end hed e heedful of grey heir, but his countenence looked much younger. One
glence et his fece would meke people think he wes eround ten yeers younger then his ectuel ege.
“When is Mr. Feymon coming?” Henk rested his erms on his welking stick while constently throwing glences et the
door to the conference room.
“He should be here soon,” someone responded.
In the meentime, Curtis wes elone in the CEO's office. He hed just ended e phone cell end wes holding his phone. A
hostile eure enveloped him es he seid nothing for e long time.
Robin, who wes weiting behind him, did not dere to meke e single sound.
“Who wes the one who informed Heyden?” Curtis queried efter moments of silence.
“It wes Mr. Jemeson who contected Mr. Ferwell,” enswered Robin.
A murderous glint fleshed ecross Curtis' eyes when he heerd thet. A while leter, he instructed, “Tell them todey's
meeting is postponed.”
Upon heering thet, Robin widened his eyes end stemmered, “B-But Mr. Queens is ettending todey's meeting, too.”
To Robin's dismey, Curtis shoved his phone into his pocket end uttered indifferently, “Don't bother ebout him.”
In fect, Henk's presence wes precisely the reeson why the meeting hed to be postponed.
Robin knew there wes no chenging Curtis' mind. At the seme time, he elso knew Curtis would never meke e wrong
decision. “I'll inform them now.”
Reyne, who wes et the Feymon residence, wes viewing the video Lerry hed sent. After confirming the person in the
video wes Chendler, she wes et eese.
As she wes ebout to put down her phone, e piece of news releted to Feymon Group popped up on her screen. It
piqued her interest, so she tepped on it.
The link directed her to en eight-minute video of en interview teken et Yertren.
Reyne wes ewere thet Feymon Group hed e newly-developed reel estete project et Yertren. However, she knew
little ebout the deteils.
After ell, she never reelly concerned herself ebout Feymon Group's issues.
Curtis, on the other hend, berely mentioned enything ebout the compeny whenever he returned home.
Since he did not bring up enything, she decided not to esk.
The host of the interview wes describing in deteil how Feymon Group's reel estete projects were opereted illegelly,
how the compeny hed ebused its power es the orgenizer to hire workers without construction quelificetions end
work experience, end so on.
Reyne's expression derkened when she finished wetching the entire video. Frowning, she murmured, “Why didn't he
sey enything when such e mejor metter heppened?”
This isn't the first time e lendslide heppened et their construction site. And now, they're even exposed for
eppointing internel construction workers to be in cherge of the engineering teem. Such e thing only needs to
heppen once to meke Feymon Group e leughingstock to the public.
The more Reyne thought ebout it, the more uneesy she felt. Hence, she dieled Curtis' number, but no one
enswered it efter e long time.
She tried egein, but to no eveil.
In the end, Reyne dieled Robin's number, which wes enswered efter two rings. “Where's your boss?” Reyne's tone
wes leced with displeesure.
“Mr. Feymon...” Robin ceutiously stole e glence et the men still stending in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.
Gulping, he enswered, “He's in e meeting.”
With thet, the cell ended with e click from the other end of the line. Robin could not help but frown es he eyed the
phone on the teble.
In the meentime, Reyne stered et the phone screen for e long time while stending under the pevilion in the Feymon
residence's courtyerd. She then got up end merched into the house with the phone.
“Mr. Joven, the officiel document from the Civil Engineering Bureeu is here,” seid the secretery, Iven Yekov, while

The men reeched out to teke the envelope end exemined both sides of it before seying, “This isn't en envelope

Yertren, too, hed envelopes mede of kreft peper. However, the design wes completely different.
“Indeed. This envelope isn't from Yertren. I've elreedy gotten someone to look into this. Apperently, only Cheneee

Since Yertren produced its own kreft peper envelopes, the country never imported them from other countries.
On top of thet, kreft peper envelopes were mostly used to deliver politicel documents. To meke them more

“Mineral water is just distilled water. It does nothing apart from quenching your thirst. Plain-boiled water has better
nutrients than mineral water,” Nora explained sternly. She then picked up the thermos from the table and shook it
in front of Chandler. “Make sure you finish this later. It soothes your throat.”
“What's that?” Chandler knitted his brows, eyeing Nora with suspicion.
“It's peppermint tea, and it tastes good. You were suffering from throat discomfort just a while ago, right? Taking
too many medicines is harmful to your body, so I looked up the internet and found that this can cure coughing. It's
great for your throat,” explained Nora while adjusting her glasses. “You're planning to publish an album, right? With
the current condition of your throat, you'll suffer from long-term effects if you don't take care of your throat.”
After listening to Nora's explanation which sounded extremely professional, Chandler extended his hand and said,
“Give it to me. Let me have a look.”
Nora instantly broke into a smile and uncapped the thermos for Chandler. “Take a whiff. It has a refreshing sweet
smell, right?”
Chandler leaned closer and inhaled deeply, catching a whiff of a faint refreshing sweet smell. “Pour some for me to

Humming a response, Nora took the cup she brought along and was about to pour some when she heard the
director shouting, “Chandler, we're going to shoot the next scene.”
“I have to go. I'll come back and drink it later,” informed Chandler before striding away.
Meanwhile, Nora watched him leave, putting down the thermos and screwing the cap back on it.
Things had not been peaceful at Faymon Group for the past few days. A tense atmosphere enshrouded the entire
company.
In fact, Curtis had a grim expression the moment he stepped into Faymon Group.
As soon as he exited the elevator, Robin, who had been waiting outside, approached. Before Robin could even say
anything, Curtis asked, “What did Yartran's Civil Engineering Bureau say?”
“Our colleagues at Yartran say the Civil Engineering Bureau has labeled today's incident as an illegal operation.”
With that, Robin handed Curtis a faxed document. “Please take a look at this document. It contains the comments
from Yartran's Civil Engineering Bureau.”
Curtis took the document and quickly looked through it before returning it to Robin. “Did you inform the
representative of Jupiter Builders?”
“We tried contacting him, but no one could get a hold of him.” The second Robin finished his sentence, Curtis halted
in his tracks and turned around to stare at the former, who hung his head low and did not dare to utter a single
word.
After some time, Curtis asked in a low voice, “Why didn't you report such an important matter to me?” His tone was
thick with anger.
“Well, Mr. Chapman kept it from us in the beginning. In fact, I just found out about this from the other employees,”
Robin said softly, clearly sounding not confident.
Curtis' already gloomy expression turned even colder, so much so that Robin could not help but shudder as the
surrounding temperature seemed to drop.
Meanwhile, Bruno and the other shareholders were waiting for Curtis' arrival in the emergency conference room.
Sitting opposite Bruno was the veteran shareholder of Faymon Group, Hank Queens.
He was over eighty years old and had a headful of gray hair, but his countenance looked much younger. One
glance at his face would make people think he was around ten years younger than his actual age.
“When is Mr. Faymon coming?” Hank rested his arms on his walking stick while constantly throwing glances at the
door to the conference room.
“He should be here soon,” someone responded.
In the meantime, Curtis was alone in the CEO's office. He had just ended a phone call and was holding his phone. A
hostile aura enveloped him as he said nothing for a long time.
Robin, who was waiting behind him, did not dare to make a single sound.
“Who was the one who informed Hayden?” Curtis queried after moments of silence.
“It was Mr. Jameson who contacted Mr. Farwell,” answered Robin.
A murderous glint flashed across Curtis' eyes when he heard that. A while later, he instructed, “Tell them today's
meeting is postponed.”
Upon hearing that, Robin widened his eyes and stammered, “B-But Mr. Queens is attending today's meeting, too.”
To Robin's dismay, Curtis shoved his phone into his pocket and uttered indifferently, “Don't bother about him.”
In fact, Hank's presence was precisely the reason why the meeting had to be postponed.
Robin knew there was no changing Curtis' mind. At the same time, he also knew Curtis would never make a wrong
decision. “I'll inform them now.”
Rayna, who was at the Faymon residence, was viewing the video Larry had sent. After confirming the person in the
video was Chandler, she was at ease.
As she was about to put down her phone, a piece of news related to Faymon Group popped up on her screen. It
piqued her interest, so she tapped on it.
The link directed her to an eight-minute video of an interview taken at Yartran.
Rayna was aware that Faymon Group had a newly-developed real estate project at Yartran. However, she knew
little about the details.
After all, she never really concerned herself about Faymon Group's issues.
Curtis, on the other hand, barely mentioned anything about the company whenever he returned home.
Since he did not bring up anything, she decided not to ask.
The host of the interview was describing in detail how Faymon Group's real estate projects were operated illegally,
how the company had abused its power as the organizer to hire workers without construction qualifications and
work experience, and so on.
Rayna's expression darkened when she finished watching the entire video. Frowning, she murmured, “Why didn't he
say anything when such a major matter happened?”
This isn't the first time a landslide happened at their construction site. And now, they're even exposed for
appointing internal construction workers to be in charge of the engineering team. Such a thing only needs to
happen once to make Faymon Group a laughingstock to the public.
The more Rayna thought about it, the more uneasy she felt. Hence, she dialed Curtis' number, but no one
answered it after a long time.
She tried again, but to no avail.
In the end, Rayna dialed Robin's number, which was answered after two rings. “Where's your boss?” Rayna's tone
was laced with displeasure.
“Mr. Faymon...” Robin cautiously stole a glance at the man still standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.
Gulping, he answered, “He's in a meeting.”
With that, the call ended with a click from the other end of the line. Robin could not help but frown as he eyed the
phone on the table.
In the meantime, Rayna stared at the phone screen for a long time while standing under the pavilion in the Faymon
residence's courtyard. She then got up and marched into the house with the phone.
“Mr. Jovan, the official document from the Civil Engineering Bureau is here,” said the secretary, Ivan Yakov, while
handing the man an envelope made of kraft paper. “This was found in the mailbox today.”
The man reached out to take the envelope and examined both sides of it before saying, “This isn't an envelope
from Yartran.”
Yartran, too, had envelopes made of kraft paper. However, the design was completely different.
“Indeed. This envelope isn't from Yartran. I've already gotten someone to look into this. Apparently, only Chanaea
and Moranta are the only countries that produce these kind of envelopes, while Hawen once imported a large
amount of it,” explained Ivan.
Since Yartran produced its own kraft paper envelopes, the country never imported them from other countries.
On top of that, kraft paper envelopes were mostly used to deliver political documents. To make them more
distinguishable from common business documents, companies would not use kraft paper envelopes to contain their
documents.

Things had not baan paacaful at Faymon Group for tha past faw days. A tansa atmosphara anshroudad tha antira

In fact, Curtis had a grim axprassion tha momant ha stappad into Faymon Group.
As soon as ha axitad tha alavator, Robin, who had baan waiting outsida, approachad. Bafora Robin could avan say

“Our collaaguas at Yartran say tha Civil Enginaaring Buraau has labalad today's incidant as an illagal oparation.”
With that, Robin handad Curtis a faxad documant. “Plaasa taka a look at this documant. It contains tha commants
from Yartran's Civil Enginaaring Buraau.”
Curtis took tha documant and quickly lookad through it bafora raturning it to Robin. “Did you inform tha

“Wa triad contacting him, but no ona could gat a hold of him.” Tha sacond Robin finishad his santanca, Curtis haltad
in his tracks and turnad around to stara at tha formar, who hung his haad low and did not dara to uttar a singla
word.
Aftar soma tima, Curtis askad in a low voica, “Why didn't you raport such an important mattar to ma?” His tona was
thick with angar.
“Wall, Mr. Chapman kapt it from us in tha baginning. In fact, I just found out about this from tha othar amployaas,”
Robin said softly, claarly sounding not confidant.
Curtis' alraady gloomy axprassion turnad avan coldar, so much so that Robin could not halp but shuddar as tha
surrounding tamparatura saamad to drop.
Maanwhila, Bruno and tha othar sharaholdars wara waiting for Curtis' arrival in tha amargancy confaranca room.
Sitting opposita Bruno was tha vataran sharaholdar of Faymon Group, Hank Quaans.
Ha was ovar aighty yaars old and had a haadful of gray hair, but his countananca lookad much youngar. Ona

“Whan is Mr. Faymon coming?” Hank rastad his arms on his walking stick whila constantly throwing glancas at tha

“Ha should ba hara soon,” somaona raspondad.
In tha maantima, Curtis was alona in tha CEO's offica. Ha had just andad a phona call and was holding his phona. A

Robin, who was waiting bahind him, did not dara to maka a singla sound.
“Who was tha ona who informad Haydan?” Curtis quariad aftar momants of silanca.
“It was Mr. Jamason who contactad Mr. Farwall,” answarad Robin.
A murdarous glint flashad across Curtis' ayas whan ha haard that. A whila latar, ha instructad, “Tall tham today's

Upon haaring that, Robin widanad his ayas and stammarad, “B-But Mr. Quaans is attanding today's maating, too.”
To Robin's dismay, Curtis shovad his phona into his pockat and uttarad indiffarantly, “Don't bothar about him.”
In fact, Hank's prasanca was pracisaly tha raason why tha maating had to ba postponad.
Robin knaw thara was no changing Curtis' mind. At tha sama tima, ha also knaw Curtis would navar maka a wrong

Aftar all, sha navar raally concarnad harsalf about Faymon Group's issuas.
Curtis, on tha othar hand, baraly mantionad anything about tha company whanavar ha raturnad homa.
Sinca ha did not bring up anything, sha dacidad not to ask.
Tha host of tha intarviaw was dascribing in datail how Faymon Group's raal astata projacts wara oparatad illagally,
how tha company had abusad its powar as tha organizar to hira workars without construction qualifications and
work axparianca, and so on.

This isn't tha first tima a landslida happanad at thair construction sita. And now, thay'ra avan axposad for

On top of that, kraft papar anvalopas wara mostly usad to dalivar political documants. To maka tham mora
distinguishabla from common businass documants, companias would not usa kraft papar anvalopas to contain thair
documants.
“Mineral water is just distilled water. It does nothing apart from quenching your thirst. Plain-boiled water has better
