"Mr. Rhodes, Mr. Smith has also terminated his contract with us just now."
The assistant stood anxiously beside Landon, worry etched on his face. Over the past few days, Rhodes Corporation had faced a series of unilateral contract terminations.
The other parties were willing to incur significant breach penalties without any room for negotiation. Just moments ago, even the long-term partner, Mr. Smith, severed ties with Rhodes Corporation.
Who was secretly orchestrating this? What force was aiming to destroy Rhodes Corporation?
"What is going on! Find out! Hurry up and investigate!" Landon roared.
Since Amber's death three years ago, he had grown increasingly irritable and prone to outbursts. It had been a long time since anyone had seen him act normally. But, in the solitude of the night, he would reveal his lonely side.
Amber, I miss you so much.
As he thought this, the assistant suddenly reported, "Mr. Rhodes, Mr. Smith hinted that it's a foreign company planning to establish itself in our city. They're offering at least twice the benefits we do..."
Twice!
Landon's heart jolted.
No wonder so many companies... such a tempting offer, anyone would be swayed.
But what kind of company could afford such massive losses?
Landon's eyes narrowed, his gaze turning wolf-like once more.
A week later, the launch of a company named "AmSawyer Creations" was held at A city.
At first glance, it seemed ordinary, but insiders knew the immense power behind the company, able to invest such a vast sum to make AmSawyer Creations an overnight sensation in the city.
Landon decided to confront this hidden puppeteer.
However, when the spotlight illuminated a graceful figure, his expression faltered.
So familiar, watching the masked woman on stage, Landon felt an indescribable bitterness rise within him.
But three years could bring tremendous change. Amber now exuded extraordinary charisma, far from the meek figure in Landon's memories who begged for mercy.
"Dear guests and friends, hello everyone!"
A familiar voice...
Landon's mind exploded as painful memories from three years ago flooded back. Amber's desperate expression seemed to overlap with the person on stage, and her words, "Landon, you'll regret it!" seemed to have come true.
Because he saw she now had someone else to protect her.
They stood side by side on stage.
The company name was a combination of their names.
And her current glamour had nothing to do with him anymore.
"Amber…"
Landon muttered, is it you who's returned?
You didn't die, right?
He yearned to rush forward, tear off her mask, see if it was her, ask her that Amber, you're back, aren't you...
Until Amber and Sawyer retreated backstage, he finally couldn't contain his excitement, ignoring staff attempts to stop him, rushing backstage.
Sawyer's tall figure was easily recognizable, and the woman beside him was chatting and laughing with him.
Landon rushed forward, cautious, "Miss, could you please take off your mask?"
The woman glanced at him, then looked towards Sawyer, seemingly asking who he was.
Sawyer pretended not to know Landon and shook his head.
"Sir, may I ask who you are?"
Sawyer stepped forward, half-blocking the woman behind him.
Landon felt a twinge of annoyance, his brow furrowing slightly. "Excuse me, I'm looking for the lady behind you."
