Chapter 1116

“You act as though you’re always in the right,” Ryan retorted, his face red with fury.

“You’re endangering the company. The Thomas Group has filed a lawsuit. How do you intend to handle

that?”

Had Ryan been able to release that work earlier, he would not have hesitated. Why had he waited for

Humphrey to take action?

He was reluctant to further strain his relationship with Millie. With the release of her work, she would be

livid, no doubt considering them utterly without shame.

“I’ve already prepared the drafts, and I’m unafraid of a lawsuit.

After all, we were the first to publish it. We have the upper hand,” said Humphrey, his voice filled with

confidence.

Ryan swiveled his chair and sat, his dark eyes narrowing into slits.

Since Millie’s departure, the company had struggled to produce substantial works, dimming its once

brilliant reputation in the jewelry industry.

“Don’t worry, Ryan. We’ll undoubtedly win this lawsuit. Even if they present their drafts, we have our

evidence,” Humphrey reassured.

Ryan lit a cigarette and glanced at Humphrey, his expression hard.

“The damage is done. Under these circumstances, we can’t afford to lose this case. Prepare yourself

well,” he instructed, his voice firm.

From another viewpoint, winning this lawsuit would deal a serious blow to both Thomas Group and

Marcus. After all, Thomas Group had never known defeat, no matter the legal battle.

“Rest assured, Ryan,” Humphrey stated with confidence.

“Alright, Leave now,” Ryan said, flicking ash from his cigarette.

As Humphrey walked towards the door, he turned back, his curiosity piqued.

“Ryan, what were you doing overseas these past few days?”

It was odd for Ryan to have traveled abroad for several days, especially when the company had no

international business.

That night, when Ryan made a phone call and Humphrey overheard a woman’s voice, his interest was

further aroused.

“Just meeting someone,” Ryan responded.

“Was it a woman?”

“Yes.” Ryan looked up, his eyes meeting Humphrey’s, an impatient edge to his voice.

Humphrey’s curiosity grew. Since Rosa’s passing, there had been no significant women in Ryan’s life to

justify a special trip overseas.

“You should prepare for the lawsuit,” Ryan finally said.

Ryan understood what Humphrey was implying, yet the idea of being interested in that woman was

inconceivable. She was simply a useful contact.
