From Ignored to Adored: The Heiress Melts the Self-Restrained Boss Chapter 119: You Are My Sister, Caden Hawthorne

Stella Fletcher’s face turned even redder and she quickly shook her head, "No, no, President Everett, I just... don’t know what to say."

Silas Everett raised an eyebrow slightly, "Then there’s no need to say anything, just quietly eat breakfast."

Stella Fletcher dared not speak further, keeping her head down as she ate breakfast silently.

Yet her heart pounded like a fawn running wild, her mind filled with thoughts.

She couldn’t understand why Silas Everett treated her so specially; could President Everett be interested in her?

Realizing this thought, Stella Fletcher imdiately dismissed it, thinking she might be overthinking it, perhaps President Everett was rely expressing a boss’s care for their subordinate.

After breakfast, Silas Everett and Stella Fletcher headed to the company together.

Along the way, Stella Fletcher was too nervous to speak, while Silas Everett focused on driving, creating a sowhat subtle atmosphere.

"We’re here."

Stella Fletcher looked out the car window, seeing they had already arrived at the company building. She hurriedly said, "Thank you, President Everett."

As soon as she finished speaking, Stella Fletcher quickly opened the car door and rushed into the company.

Watching as Stella Fletcher ran off faster than a rabbit, Silas Everett looked puzzled. Did he really seem that intimidating?

Hawthorne Group

"The York Family hasn’t declared bankruptcy yet?"

Caden Hawthorne had cut off cooperation with the York Family for half a month already, yet there was no sign of the York Family declaring bankruptcy.

Bryan Coleman lowered his head cautiously, "No, the Everett Group intervened, announcing plans to collaborate with The York Group. The signing ceremony is about to take place."

Hearing this, Caden Hawthorne clenched his fists, "That Silas Everett, what a cunning fox, trying every way to cooperate with . After my repeated refusals, he reached out to the York Family."

"This ti, with the Everett Group’s assistance, the York Family will probably be very grateful. If they join forces, it could be detrintal to our company." Bryan Coleman analyzed with a frown.

Caden Hawthorne narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of sternness in his gaze. "Does he think that will threaten ? Hmph, not that easily."

Bryan Coleman looked at Caden Hawthorne with so concern, "President Hawthorne, what should we do now?"

After a mont of contemplation, Caden Hawthorne said, "Let’s wait and see what they are really up to. anwhile, keep a close watch on their actions. Report to imdiately if anything unusual happens."

Bryan Coleman nodded, "Yes, President Hawthorne. I’ll arrange for soone to closely monitor them."

Caden Hawthorne leaned back in his chair, lightly tapping the table with his fingers.

He knew that Silas Everett was a tough opponent, and in this business ga, there was bound to be a fight. Caden Hawthorne would never back down.

The Sutton Group.

Riley Hawthorne had been avoiding Zachary Sutton recently, thinking that if she didn’t seek him out, he would co to her.

Unexpectedly, Riley Hawthorne hadn’t seen Zachary Sutton for several days.

After asking her colleagues, Riley Hawthorne found out that Zachary Sutton hadn’t been to the company lately. Anxious, she went to Hawthorne Group after work.

She knew her brother, Caden Hawthorne, would surely know where Zachary Sutton had gone and what he had been doing recently.

After all, Zachary Sutton was her brother’s good friend.

"President Hawthorne, Miss is here."

Bryan Coleman opened the office door and respectfully addressed Caden Hawthorne, who was busy with paperwork.

Caden Hawthorne was quite surprised. His sister rarely ca to the office unless there was sothing important.

Thinking of this, Caden Hawthorne couldn’t help but instruct, "In the future, if my family cos, don’t report to first, just let them in."

"Yes, President Hawthorne."

After a while, Bryan Coleman brought Riley Hawthorne in.

"Brother..." Seeing Caden Hawthorne, Riley Hawthorne’s eyes reddened and she looked aggrieved.

"What’s wrong?" Caden Hawthorne’s heart leapt to his throat, "Is your sister-in-law about to give birth?"

Vivian Lynch was nearing her due date, and Caden Hawthorne was also getting nervous, thinking Riley Hawthorne had co because Vivian was about to go into labor.

Riley Hawthorne shook her head hurriedly, "No, sister-in-law is fine, I just..."

Hearing this, Caden Hawthorne breathed a small sigh of relief, "Just what?"

"I just can’t find Zachary. He hasn’t been to the company for several days, brother, do you know where he is?"

Seeing Riley Hawthorne’s anxious expression, Caden Hawthorne realized she had co about his good friend Zachary Sutton.

"What do you an? Riley, you’re working at Zachary Sutton’s company?"

Having been caught in the act, Riley Hawthorne decided not to hide it, "That’s right, I’m working at Zachary’s company. Brother, that’s not important. What’s important is where he is?"

"Riley Hawthorne!" Caden Hawthorne gritted his teeth, "You’re my sister, how can you work for soone else? And that soone is my good friend. Did you do this on purpose?"

Riley Hawthorne pouted and said defiantly, "Brother, so what if I work at Zachary’s company? I’m not playing around, I’m working seriously, okay? Besides, aren’t you and Zachary good friends? You should be happy I’m working at his company."

Caden Hawthorne sighed helplessly, "You silly girl, you worry . Yes, Zachary Sutton and I are good friends, but you can’t just start working at his company without a word. Do you know how much gossip that might cause?"

Riley Hawthorne dismissively said, "I don’t care what others say. I just like working at Zachary’s company. Brother, please tell where Zachary is?"

Caden Hawthorne frowned and thought for a mont before saying, "I don’t know where he’s gone either. I’ve been busy with company matters recently and haven’t been in touch with him. But don’t worry, he’s a grown man, he’ll be fine."

Riley Hawthorne heard this and beca even more anxious, "Brother, you don’t care at all? Can you please help find him? I’m really worried about him."

Watching Riley Hawthorne’s concern for Zachary Sutton, Caden Hawthorne frowned slightly, "Do you like him that much?"

Being questioned so directly, Riley Hawthorne’s face turned red and she stamred nervously, "Brother, what are you talking about? I... I don’t like him."

Looking at his sister’s reaction, Caden Hawthorne understood everything. "You say you don’t, but you’re my sister, and I’m your brother. I know what you’re thinking. Do you think anyone would believe you like this?"

Riley Hawthorne bit her lip, knowing they already knew she liked Zachary Sutton.

She decided not to hide it, "Yes, I like him."

Caden Hawthorne sighed and said earnestly, "Riley, you can’t force feelings. If Zachary doesn’t feel the sa way, don’t be too persistent."

Riley Hawthorne felt a pang of sadness. "Brother, do you also think I’m not good enough for Zachary?"

Hearing this, Caden Hawthorne stood up, walked to Riley Hawthorne, and spoke sincerely, "Of course not. You’re my sister, and you’re naturally the best. It’s not that you’re not good enough for them; it’s that they’re not good enough for you."
