Chapter 541

Rhea proclaimed with confidence, her head held high.

“Hmph, you’ve surely heard the rumors. Men are inexplicably drawn to ample bosoms. I’m convinced

Marcus will be no exception. Just await the spectacle as I entice him away from your clutches.”

And with that declaration, Rhea sped away. Millie remained in a stupor for a fleeting moment, her gaze

drifting down to her own chest.

Did Marcus truly possess a penchant for ample bosoms?

Was it accurate that men universally favored generous proportions?

With an eye roll and a dismissive snort, Millie mused, “Well, mine certainly isn’t lacking.”

Within the confines of the Thomas Group headquarters, Derek made his entrance into the CEO’s

office.

“Mr. Thomas, an incident occurred this moming regarding the land in the western part of the city.”

“What transpired?”

The administration of the land had been entrusted to Leon under Claudia’s guidance. Plans were

underway to construct a large-scale shopping center in that vicinity.

Their ongoing task involved the demolition of buildings and the relocation of their occupants.

“There was a commotion during the construction process. One family disputed the compensation

offered and consequently refused to vacate. They engaged others to obstruct the construction.”

The compensation package was indeed in line with market standards, yet such scenarios were

regrettably commonplace.

“How was this situation addressed?”

“After work was temporarily halted due to the confrontation, Leon’s team confronted the instigator in a

back alley. They resorted to force, kneeling him down and employing a degree of intimidation to

ascertain whether he favored money or his life. Following this, construction was set to recommence in

the afternoon.”

Marcus’ eyes narrowed slightly as he inquired, “Coercion?”

“Indeed.”

Leon had executed a swift resolution, an aspect synonymous with the Thomas family’s identity. Fear

was not a trait they embraced; decisiveness and swiftness were their hallmarks.

This alignment with Leon’s temperament was hardly surprising, given his predisposition towards

aggression from an early age.

Yet, such resolutions often came with lingering consequences. Temporary compliance could evolve into

a calculated backlash.

Nonetheless, it had nothing to do with Marcus.

He leaned back in his chair, his fingertips massaging his throbbing temples.
