The secretary whispered, “On the first floor. Currently being held back by the security guards. I don’t think they can hold him back for long. After all, you and I both know of Ms. Blackwood’s temper…”

“I’ll go. You’ll watch.” With that, Lucy rushed downstairs.

“Aye.”

In the office, Zachary was in the midst of signing a stack of documents. As Ben received a call, he glanced briefly at the three children before walking over to Zachary and whispered worriedly, “Ms. Blackwood is here once more.”

 

“Let her up,” Zachary answered nonchalantly without even lifting his head.

“Huh?” Ben widened his eyes in surprise.

 

Frowning, Zachary snidely remarked, “I believe I’ve made myself clear enough?”

“Aye.” Ben was momentarily taken aback by the cold instruction. Without much ado, he ordered the security guards to let her up.
