NovelOnline"Yes, Hayden." Lane narrowed his eyes as he watched Hayden's actions. He sensed that there was more to the story than Hayden was letting on.
Normally, if Dorothy had really left in the middle of their meeting, she would have at least said something. Wouldn't Hayden have gone looking for her when she didn't return? Why did he leave instead? He must have left because he had something to hide.
As Hayden turned around, he met Lane's probing gaze. He quickly averted his eyes, looking somewhat guilty.

"Isn't that a bit extreme? What's the point of a blood test? | just served her some fine wine, nothing more." "Who knows what else was in that wine? | bet there was something that shouldn't have been there." Lane scoffed. "We're both veterans in the business world. We know the tricks of the trade. | sent Ms. Sanchez to you because | trusted you. | thought there wouldn't be any incidents, but you went ahead and got my employee drunk. | have to investigate this." With that, Lane made to leave.
Hayden quickly blocked his way with a forced smile on his face. "Look, | did my best to find her! I didn't do anything to her! | just served her some wine!" "I'll know for sure once | check." "Come on, Lane. We're both businessmen. We'll need to cooperate in the future. Don't take this too far!" Hayden's expression changed, and his eyes darkened. "I said | didn't do anything. You've got to save me some dignity." "You messed with my employee, and you want me to save you some dignity?" "She’s just a project director... Ah!" Before Hayden could finish speaking, Lane landed a punch on him.
Hayden staggered back and hit the wall. "Lane, you're throwing punches over a woman?!" "| told you already that she's my employee. It seems you still don't understand.” Hayden fell silent.
"You think we will cooperate in the future? You're overthinking. Not only will I not cooperate with Verity Holdings Limited, but I'll also make you pay the price!" As soon as Lane's words left his mouth, Hayden's secretary rushed in.
"Bad news, Hayden! Our stock market is plummeting rapidly. Several partners have called to terminate their contracts!" Hayden immediately turned to Lane.
But the latter seemed just as surprised as him.
Lane hadn't taken action yet, and even if he had, he wouldn't have the resources to completely crush Verity Holdings Limited.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter all, Verity Holdings Limited was an established company. It had a decent reputation locally, and its annual projects were always worth at least tens of millions. Its stock market had always been stable.
Now, someone was choking Verity Holdings Limited, leaving it no chance to fight back or ask for help.
"Lane, did... did you do this?" "No, but it seems like you're getting your just desserts." So, it wasn't just him who wanted to take down Verity Holdings Limited.
Inside a black Bentley, Everett coldly delegated tasks to his employees.
He was only in Havenbrook City temporarily, so a lot of his instructions had to be given online.
Kevin called at this moment. "Mr. Lopez, everything's been taken care of." "Good. | want Verity Holdings Limited to disappear completely.” When Everett picked up Dorothy yesterday, he truly thought she was just drunk. But when she started acting crazy later, he realized that it wasn't that simple.
The wine definitely had something in it.
There was no need to guess what else happened. Who else would serve Dorothy spiked wine?
