Chapter 676: Do you happen to know anyone by that name?
When Dean walked out of the conference room, his brows rose as he turned his head. His eyes landed on Zoren’s back, watching as Benjamin and Hugo waited for Zoren to reach them before walking away with him.
"Hah." Dean let out a shallow breath, rocking his head. His eyes shifted to Hugo, who, for the first time, had come into the building in a suit. "I was expecting her to do a job well done, but to send her own brother? Something’s up."
"Sir." At the same time, Dean’s secretary approached him from the side.
Dean glanced at her but didn’t walk away as he looked in Zoren’s direction one last time. He didn’t say anything and just stared at his uncle before he turned and walked in the opposite direction. As he walked away, his secretary followed closely behind him.
"William Pierson didn’t do anything today," he said quietly, his eyes sharp. "Find out what else he is planning for the family meeting."
The secretary lowered her head and replied in a stern voice, "Yes, sir."

"Sir, that’s amazing!" Benjamin’s eyes twinkled, his excitement evident at his quick pace. "Today’s board meeting went smoothly. Did everyone give up already? Well, if I were them, I would’ve given up long ago too!"
Hugo glanced at Benjamin. From what he heard, the board meeting went without a hitch. Hugo wasn’t inside to hear everything, and even if he had been there, he probably wouldn’t have understood it all. But from a bystander’s point of view, it did seem like everything went surprisingly well.
But then again, even if Hugo didn’t understand the depths of the business, he understood one thing:
When something went smoothly when it normally shouldn’t, it was mostly because the storm hadn’t come yet.
