Lena giggled.

It seemed to possess some kind of magic as it instantly quieted Elijah down.

Elijah watched her in silence. There seemed to be a resemblance to someone in the way her eyes looked, like a familiar acquaintance. The strange feeling he had for her increased a little more.

Elijah said in a low voice, “Lena, I’ve resigned.”

Lena nodded. “I just heard in the room. Are you really not planning to continue at the Thompson Group?”

“I have my own things to do.”

“Alright.” Lena shrugged.

“You seem… not to care whether I stay at the Thompson Group?”

“Why should I care?” Lena looked at him sideways. “As long as you don’t go against Lina, you can be anywhere. But if you dare to pick on the Thompsons, I’ll bring you back from the ends of the earth.”

Elijah was at a loss for words.

Originally, he wanted to ask Lena if she would be willing to go to his family’s company and work with him. After all, he needed help now. Instead of looking for someone else outside, it would be better to work with someone he knew well.

It seemed there was no need to ask now.

Lena would not go.

In her heart, no one was as important as Lina.

Despite that, Elijah was curious. It was previously said that Lena was the illegitimate child of the Thompsons. According to that logic, her protectiveness of the Thompsons was understandable. Now that it was clarified that Nicholas had no illegitimate children, why was she still so loyal?

And why did his Chriss family not have someone so loyal?

“Daddy, look!” Just as he was thinking, he heard Nala’s sweet voice. “It seems like the little baby woke up!”

Elijah paused.
