Chapter 195 The Praises

I went over to him with a smile, and he recognized me immediately. “Good evening, Ms. Chloe.”

“It’s a pleasure to see you again, sir.” I maintained a respectful demeanor. “I haven’t had the chance to thank you for what you did that evening.”

Only then did I realize the person he was speaking to was Atticus’s father.

“Nice to meet you, sir. I’m Chloe from Tanum Corporation.”

Mercer gave Maddox a puzzled look, surprised that he’d introduce someone like me to him. However, het soon laughed. “Oh, Tanum Corporation? You’re that young lady who founded it, huh?”
