Hendrick.”
Kate gently interjected Hendrick’s words, her expression resolute. “I do intend to meet Simon, but not for a romantic encounter. Simon has been covertly transferring the assets of Lowe Group.”
Upon hearing these words, Hendrick’s pupils suddenly contracted. He gazed deeply at Kate and his tone became grave. “When did you discover this?”
Summer hesitated for a moment, then felt a bitter pang in her heart. Hendrick now controlled the entire Lowe Group. Of course he was aware of Simon’s schemes. However, even if he was aware, what could he do? Simon used Kate as a shield, thwarting numerous investigations, and each time assets were transferred… it was with Kate’s authorization.

These agonizing memories flooded her mind, and Summer took a deep breath, articulating to Hendrick, “Hendrick, I was naive in the past. But moving forward, I will not allow Simon to siphon off a single cent. Whatever he took from me, I will make him give them back!”

assets.

Hendrick nodded and casually responded, “Yes, she is my secretary, Anna. She possesses strong. business acumen and is quite astute. She actually reminds me a bit of you.”
Upon hearing Hendrick’s words, Kate’s heart was filled with icy fury.
Recalling Anna’s competent and haughty demeanor earlier, along with the subtle disdain in her gaze towards her, Kate’s gaze grew even colder.
It was at this gathering that Anna set a trap for Hendrick, leading him unknowingly into a relationship with her, and then tearfully accusing him without explanation, leading others to believe that Hendrick had coerced her. This caused the Lowe Group’s stock price to plummet, compelling Hendrick to marry her to quell the turmoil.
However, Anna, who appeared to have a clean background, had actually been colluding with Ruth and others for a long time, with the intention of taking over the Lowe Group’s assets. Her ultimate goal was to also destroy Hendrick, the last resort.
Kate glanced at Hendrick with a touch of hesitation in her eyes, but still spoke earnestly,
“Hendrick, try to drink less at the banquet, and also… watch out for Anna.”
