A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Taylor was stunned when she heard Louis' sorrowful words. Since he was Scott's brother, she expected him to know more. She couldn't help but ask him one more time. “Do you really have no clue about it?“

Louis still felt a little angry in his heart. He could only sneer at her in response. “Does the reason really matter? Because to me, there's not a single excuse in the world that would make me understand him. His actions are unforgivable no matter what reason he had. I swear, one day, I'll force Bill to kneel in front of my parents' tomb and tell them the truth.“

Seeing that Louis was dead set on getting revenge, Taylor felt a little worried.

Bill was a cruel and powerful man. Would Louis be able to get what he wanted without hurting himself?

Noticing the concerned look on Taylor's face, Louis turned around and held her in his arms. He gently stroked her cheek, and then whispered a few words of comfort. “Don't worry. I'll always protect you. I promise no one's going to hurt you anymore.“

At that moment, Taylor knew there was nothing she could possibly do to change his mind. That was why she simply told him about her concerns. “I'll be fine. You should be worried about yourself since you're the one who's going to do something dangerous.“

An unexpected smile suddenly appeared on Louis' face as soon as Taylor finished speaking. All of a sudden, he felt light-hearted, which made him change the topic. “Are you worried about me?“

Taylor's cheeks blushed from embarrassment. She couldn't help but take back what she had said. “Who cares about you? I just...“

The look on her face when she was running out of words to say made Louis chuckle. With a gentle look on his face, he replied, “It doesn't matter. You don't have to say it out loud. I know what you mean.“

'This bastard! How dare he use my words against me?' Taylor thought while rolling her eyes at him.

Taylor still wanted to say something to make herself look tough. But she was too late since Louis had already leaned his head on her shoulder. After a few seconds, he spoke in a tired but somewhat cheerful voice. “Don't worry too much. I'll keep myself out of harm's way for you.“

All of a sudden, Taylor's heart softened. The atmosphere between them felt warm and cozy. It was such a rare moment for the two of them that she didn't want to ruin it. That was why she simply hugged him back and stayed silent.

At that moment, Taylor vowed to herself that no matter what Bill did, she would always be by Louis' side.

The next day, Louis made his way to the CEO Office of the Ke Group.

Dressed in a dashing, all-black suit, he sat in his office chair like a duke who had just returned to his magnificent castle. Shortly after, he took out an expensive-looking pen and twirled it around with his fingers.

While doing so, he stared blankly at a single document. His eyes clearly showed how deep he was in thought. Contained in the document was a simple personnel transfer. All he needed to do was sign. However, Louis was hesitant to do so. He was frozen in place, and completely silent for a few minutes. His mouth only opened when he called for his assistant.
