After re-evaluating Dylan Tate as a person.

The resentment in Jocelyn Tate's youth for lacking a father's love was then transferred to Dirk Carter's family.

Upon hearing this.

Dirk Carter also felt a bit emotional.

He said, "I don't know how I should apologize to you. The words come to my lips, but language always feels weak and powerless."

Jocelyn Tate smiled slightly and said, "I was too narrow-minded. The emotions of the previous generation are not something our generation can understand. You're just like me, a victim. The ones we should detest are those who have overwhelming control."

"Overwhelming control? You've been living abroad for so many years, but you use idioms quite fluently."

Dirk Carter complimented.

Jocelyn Tate giggled.

She said, "My mom always told me that one day I would return, so I must learn Chinese well. But I only learned the basics; I still lack a lot in the true ways of the world."

"That's okay; you'll adapt slowly."

Dirk Carter encouraged.

Suddenly, Jocelyn Tate changed the topic.

She asked Dirk Carter, "After Freya Bates drugged me, my body was completely out of control. At that time, didn't you think of taking advantage of me? Or am I not pretty enough?"

"Very pretty! And you have a great figure. I guess the food abroad is different from ours here. Your figure is quite fiery; to use an idiom, I'd say you're captivating and charming."

Dirk Carter said with a smile.

"Then you..."

The rest of the question was not asked.

There was a knock on the office door.

The person who entered was Aziel Grant.

As soon as he entered, Jocelyn Tate instinctively wrapped herself tightly with a blanket.

Aziel Grant's eyes lit up, and he looked at Dirk Carter with some mischief, seemingly having understood something.

"Don't guess wildly; her clothes were just dirty, and I helped her wash them."

Dirk Carter knew him too well and could tell what he was thinking with just a glance.

"Yes, yes, my clothes were dirty, and he helped me wash them."

Jocelyn Tate quickly chimed in.

Aziel Grant chuckled and said, "I didn't misunderstand. How could I misunderstand? Two arch-enemies now helping each other and speaking up for each other—I believe you two are definitely pure."

The implication was heavy in his words.

Dirk Carter couldn't be bothered to argue and asked, "How's Freya Bates doing?"

Aziel Grant quickly regained a serious expression and said, "Freya Bates confessed and admitted that Dwight Young told him to do it. In a few hours, Gunner Fisher, the chairman of Gable Group, will hold a board meeting at Keystone Works. There must be some important announcement to be made. The photos Freya Bates took—Dwight Young plans to show them at the board meeting. By then, Miss Tate's reputation will be completely ruined."

"Such a sinister intention."

Jocelyn Tate said through gritted teeth.

After all, she was still the niece of the couple.

This not only prevented her from gaining the inheritance but also tarnished her reputation in the Fisher Family. Gunner Fisher had always been conservative, and the consequences of such a scene could be imagined.

"So, have you arranged everything?"

Dirk Carter asked.

Aziel Grant chuckled and said, "Everything is ready. This is going to be quite a show. It's a pity we can't watch it unfold in person."

Dirk Carter's gaze turned dark.

He said coldly, "It's time for this couple to suffer a little."

At nine in the morning.

Valerie Fisher appeared at the gate of Keystone Works.

Dwight Young, who had arrived early, eagerly went over to help his wife out of the car.

"Is everything settled?"

Valerie Fisher asked immediately after getting out of the car.

Dwight Young grinned and said, "Settled. Freya Bates called and said he was on his way. He'll deliver the memory card shortly."

Valerie Fisher nodded in satisfaction.

She said, "This was done beautifully. Don't worry, I won't shortchange you."

"Wife, you're too kind. Working for you is my duty."

Dwight Young patted his chest and said.

"Aunt, uncle, you're both here?"

Suddenly, Jocelyn Tate's voice rang out from behind.

Valerie Fisher immediately put on a smile, glanced at Jocelyn Tate, and asked, "Xiaoxiao, you worked hard last night."

Jocelyn Tate waved her hand and said, "Not at all. The workers were busy; I was just sleeping in the office."

Seeing Jocelyn Tate's rosy cheeks, Valerie Fisher felt more certain and smiled slightly, saying, "No wonder. Your face is quite ruddy. Someone who didn't know might think you were just nourished."

"Auntie, you too, looking radiant, as if you also just got a boost."

Jocelyn Tate's words made Valerie Fisher feel guilty, and she couldn't help but touch her face, saying, "No, it's because of makeup."

At this moment.

A motorcade appeared.

A dozen luxury cars drove to the gate of Keystone Works.

The doors opened simultaneously, and more than a dozen directors from Gable Group got out of the cars. From the front car, an elderly man with a cane, slightly hunched, also got out.

This man was none other than Gunner Fisher, the chairman of Gable Group.

Eagerly, he searched in the direction of the gate.

"Grandpa."

Xiaoxiao suddenly emerged and walked towards this relative she had little recollection of.

"Xiaoxiao?"

Gunner Fisher asked emotionally.

Jocelyn Tate nodded obediently and said, "Grandpa, it's me, Xiaoxiao."

Gunner Fisher tossed aside his cane, took Jocelyn Tate's hand, and said, "Come, let Grandpa have a good look at you. You've grown up, really grown up, and become beautiful, just like your mother when she was young..."

As one ages.

Family ties become more important.

Years of no contact.

Seeing his eldest granddaughter again, Gunner Fisher couldn't stop chattering.

At this time, Valerie Fisher walked over and reminded, "Dad, let's go inside. The directors are waiting."

"Alright, alright, let's go inside, let's go inside. Come, walk with Grandpa."

Gunner Fisher said happily.

Supported by Jocelyn Tate, the duo walked ahead, chatting and laughing.

Such a scene stung Valerie Fisher's eyes sharply.

She gritted her teeth and said, "Hmph! Good for you, Jocelyn Tate, just you wait, you'll get yours soon."

"Exactly, let's see how she can laugh later,"

Dwight Young added furiously.

In the conference room of the Keystone Machinery Plant, a long table was set.

More than a dozen directors had already taken their seats.

Chairman Gunner Fisher sat at the front.

As for Dwight Young, Jocelyn Tate, and others who were not part of the board, they could only sit in the corner.

As the meeting began.

Gunner Fisher cleared his throat.

He said, "Everyone, since the establishment of Gable Group, thirty years have passed. From the beginning as a metal workshop to the current scale, I, Gunner Fisher, have dedicated almost a lifetime of effort. Of course, all of you have provided me with a lot of assistance as well. The reason I've gathered everyone at Keystone Machinery Plant today is to announce something very important."

With this opening, murmurs arose among everyone.

After all, these weren't the words of a typical meeting.

Valerie Fisher felt a chill in her heart.

She suddenly realized something.

At this moment.

Seated in the corner, Dwight Young's phone vibrated.

His face lit up with joy as he checked it.

He immediately crouched and exited the room from the corner.

He approached the end of the corridor, where Freya Bates was already waiting.
