Chapter 511: Chapter 512

Chapter 512 When the assistant arrived at Thorne’s office, Thorne was lying in a wheelchair, fast asleep. His tall figure, combined with the white shirt and black trousers he was wearing, made his fair, glowing face look as handsome as a prince from a fairy tale.

And when he was sleeping, it was also the only time he would take off his glasses. The assistant called him, “Thorne.”

Thorne slowly opened a pair of narrow and enchanting phoenix eyes, which were embedded in his perfect cheeks, like the finishing touch of a painting, instantly making him extraordinary.

The assistant was dumbfounded as this version of Thorne resembled the woman in the photograph that was cherished in the CEO’s desk drawer. It also resembled the CEO’s youthful, dignified, and aloof demeanor.

Thorne said calmly, “The chairman looked for me?”

The assistant was taken aback and said, “How did you guess?”

Thorne wheeled his wheelchair out.

The assistant followed behind him, jogging a few steps to catch up with him, and then helped him push the wheelchair. “Thorne, how did you offend Brian? He is the youngest and most promising CEO of the Miller Group. If you offend him, you won’t have a good outcome.”

Thorne said, “I was not afraid of him.”

Chapter 512 The assistant really didn’t know where Thorne’s confidence came from, but Thorne just inexplicably exuded a sense of trustworthiness.

“Thorne, the chairman was a sentimental person, but he was even more committed to following regulations,” the assistant kindly reminded Thorne.

Thorne curled his lips and smiled gracefully, “I understood.”

The assistant was puzzled, “You said I reminded you so clearly, why aren’t you in a hurry?”

Thorne said, “I would be fine.”

“Oh my, how can you be so sure that the chairman won’t blame you? Let me tell you the truth, Brian reported you for attacking the company’s intranet, and this is a serious offense. If you violate this, the chairman will either send you to the police station or kick you out of the company. There is absolutely no other way.”

Thorne remained calm and said, “Paths are created by people. Perhaps there is a third path.”

“It was absolutely impossible.”

Thorne smiled and said nothing.

The assistant looked at him and said, “You are too overconfident. I’m telling you, Thorne, this time you cannot play it safe.”

“If I could, then?”

“Then I called you an ancestor, alright.”

The assistant was dumbfounded.

Thorne blinked at him and said, “If I could overcome this difficulty, it would surely prove my abilities. You can trust me, I won’t insult your talent. How about it?”

The assistant pondered for a moment and gritted their teeth, “Alright, it’s a deal.”

Thorne gracefully picked up his glasses and put them on, saying, “Let’s go.”

The assistant pushed Thorne into the chairman’s office, where the president’s office was bustling with activity.

I don’t know when Mr. Joshua left, Lady Miller also left, and with Robert and Brian, the office gave the impression of being overcrowded.

“The chairman, Thorne, has arrived,” the assistant said.

The once silent office instantly became lively.

“Thorne, how dare you show your face here. What were your intentions when you sabotaged my intranet?” Brian confronted Thorne first.

Everyone turned their heads and looked at Thorne.

“Thorne, Mr. Wang accuses you of attacking the internal network with malicious intent. Is there any truth to this?”

Thorne remained silent at first.

Thorne then said slowly, “Brian, where is the evidence?”

Brian blurted out, “That hacker taunted me and left a message: ‘Bullying Thea, death comes knocking. Among all of us present, only you, Thorne, have a childhood sweetheart named Thea.“”

Thorne opened his mouth and muttered under his breath, “Idiot.”

Brian, upon reaching this point, suddenly realized something and fell silent abruptly.

Thorne chuckled and said, “Indeed, I did have Thea. I just didn’t know that Mr. Wang had actually bullied my Thea.”

That smile, however, did not reach the depths of the eyes.

Brian’s face changed, and he said, “Miss Fletcher and I were business rivals, so it’s inevitable to have some conflicts. But they were just common business tactics. It’s you, Thea, who is being petty – if she couldn’t handle the competition and pressure from her peers, she shouldn’t have gone into business.”

Brian thought that by admitting the fact that he bullied Thea, he would appear responsible. Furthermore, by substituting underhanded tactics with legitimate business strategies, he could get everyone else to stand on his side.

But he underestimated Thorne in the end.

Chapter 512 Thorne said, “Brian, if all the Miller Group’s competitive methods were as despicable and low as yours, the Miller Group probably wouldn’t have gone far.”

288 Vouchers Thorne connected Brian’s actions with the future prospects of the Miller Group, which made the owner of the Miller Group no longer dare to underestimate Brian’s behavior.

Lady Miller was particularly concerned about Brian’s behavior. “Oh, Brian, why don’t you tell us what you did to Miss Thea?”

“Lady Miller, nothing,” Brian summed up in a few words.

Thorne said, “Lady Miller, he had no face to speak.”

Lady Miller gazed deeply into Brian’s eyes.

Brian knew that he couldn’t get over it without giving an explanation.

He evaded the main issue, “It was me who took away the Great East Bay project. The Fletcher Group had already produced the design proposal for that project, and there was already a verbal agreement with the CEO of Great East Bay...”

Robert laughed heartily, “In the business world, victory and defeat are common occurrences. If Thea blames you for winning the project, she is being petty.”

Robert hammered the final nail, “This is not your fault.”

Brian let out a sigh quietly.

Thorne chuckled lightly and said, “The mere Great East Bay project, if it’s lost, it’s lost. How could I, Thea, care about it? Brian, you really underestimate Thea’s broad–mindedness.”

Brian sneered, “Retaliate against me? Just because of you?”

Thorne’s eyes suddenly turned cold as he said, “I treated them the way they treated me. Is that too much?”

Brian stiffened his neck and said, “I sat upright, what is there to fear?”

Thorne sneered, “Are you going to sit up straight and behave?”

“Do you still remember Camila and Brian from the Sensation Club?”

Brian jumped up from the chair as if he had been stung by a bee.

His face turned pale, and panic was evident in his eyes.

Robert, however, deliberately covered up for Brian, “Thorne, let’s not waste everyone’s office time with personal matters.”

Thorne played with the ring in his hand, the ring that Robert had given Olivia as a token of their love.

Robert saw the ring. He didn’t know what Thorne was selling in his gourd. But he felt as if he had been threatened by Thorne.

This made him very unhappy.
