Chapter 26

Without hesitation, he immediately stepped forward and stood in front of Belis Klein.

Mr.Klein, General Manager, how can a beauty like you board the bus alongside ordinary passengers?

Come on, I'll drive you home today! It'll also give me the chance to be a guardian of flowers for once.

Whenever she encountered a man attempting to approach her, a hint of disgust would flash across Bethel Klein's face.

However, since the person was a senior executive from her own company, Belice Klein patiently declined the offer.

No need, Mr.Liu. My husband is still at home waiting for me to come back for dinner!

husband ？

Belleth Klein's husband is known throughout Seattle—he's notorious for being a dependent, pampered man who constantly relies on others and utterly incompetent.

To Joshua Bird, it was utterly amusing to see Miss Klein using her son-in-law Alan Yager as a tool to pressure him.

However, on the surface, he still appeared quite serious.

Mr.Klein, General Manager, please don't be so quick to shut people out completely!

You are well aware of the current situation of our Klein Family Group. I happen to have some personal considerations regarding personnel matters that I would like to discuss with you.

Let me drive you home!

“ this ……”

For any other reason, Belissa Klein would have refused outright without hesitation.

However, since she is currently focused on the Klein Family Group, she immediately agreed when Joshua Bird suggested discussing matters related to the group.

Belleth Klein's entire heart ached with sorrow.

Considering it was rush hour after work, Joshua Bird drove him home along the main road.

Miss Klein therefore frowned inwardly and finally nodded in compromise.

“ alright ！”

hearing that the goddess had granted his request, Joshua Bird was overjoyed.

Without hesitation, he quickly moved to his car, opened the door, and made a welcoming gesture.

"Then, General Manager Klein, please!"

In response to the other person's polite demeanor, Belice Klein also smiled back.

Once the two people were in the car, Joshua Bird seemed to get straight to the point.

Mr.Klein, General Manager, are you aware that Ron Porter, Director of the Procurement Department, has resigned today?

Joshua Bird's words seemed to strike a nerve with Bethel Klein; her expression darkened as she nodded.

"I know! I just don't understand why President Yang chose to leave our Klein Family Group."

When he realized that Belice Klein had actually engaged in a discussion with him, Joshua Bird gave a cunning smile.

Mr.Klein, General Manager, there are essentially two reasons why employees are resigning these days!

Either the salary is too low, or there's no future prospects at your current company!

But whatever the reason for Ron Porter's departure, as HR Director I have every means to get him back with the company!

“ Really ？”

What the Klein Family Group currently lacks most is capable senior executives.

Although Ron Porter is generally of poor character and arrogant in demeanor, he does possess certain expertise when it comes to purchasing antiques.

This is precisely why Belissa Klein has continued to tolerate Ron Porter all along.

She can guarantee that as long as Ron Porter returns to the company and overcomes his previous bad habits, everything will improve.

Belleth Klein will undoubtedly place even greater trust in Ron Porter!

All of Bethel Klein's thoughts and decisions now revolve around the Klein Family Group.

When Joshua Bird heard his somewhat excited questioning, he quickly patted his chest.

Of course! You should know that being the Director of Human Resources also requires strong networking skills.

So, all the employees in the company will still put my face first!

Of course, whether I can truly commit myself to keeping Ron Porter depends entirely on what you, General Manager Klein, decide.

By the time he said this, Joshua Bird's eyes had become increasingly unsteady.

I could feel his greedy gaze sweeping across my sculpted, graceful figure.

A sense of alertness flashed through Belice Klein's mind.

"Joshua Bird, what do you want to do?"

Miss Klein's deliberately provocative question made Joshua Bird chuckle faintly.

Mr.Klein, General Manager: This vehicle is occupied solely by us two individuals. What do you expect me to do?

At this very moment, Joshua Bird's despicable intentions were fully exposed, and Bethel Klein's first reaction was to push the door open and get out of the car.

As if anticipating her move, Joshua Bird made a quick "click" sound and locked all four doors simultaneously.

Mr.Klein, General Manager, I suggest you don't waste your efforts. Since resistance is futile, just savor it slowly!

I watched Joshua Bird's despicable face drawing ever closer to mine.

Although Bethel Klein's expression remained as cold as ice, she was already utterly panicked inside.

Even in her mind, a voice she usually despised utterly emerged.

Alan Yager, you damn bastard! Don't you stick to me like a glue patch the whole time? Why aren't you here when I need you most?

At this very moment, Bethel Klein desperately hoped Alan Yegel would suddenly appear and give that scumbag who had tricked her into getting into the car a good beating.

Unfortunately, this was merely my own imagination.

Alan Yager will absolutely not show up, and she's certainly doomed to fail too.

Just as Belissa Klein was utterly disheartened, she suddenly heard a faint click from outside the car door—the handle had been pulled open.

Immediately, Miss Klein seemed to sense something; she looked up abruptly and saw Alan Yager's handsome face appearing outside the car window.

Alan Yager!

At that moment, Belissa Klein seemed like someone about to drown, desperately clutching at a lifeline in her panic.

At that moment, he immediately resisted Joshua Bird, who was closing in on him, while continuously tapping the car window with his jade-like hands and calling out Alan Yager's name.

Amidst all this commotion, Joshua Bird also noticed Alan Yager outside the car door.

Realizing his opponent's identity, a sinister smile curved across his lips.

"General Manager Klein—he must be your utterly incompetent husband!"

I'd advise you to stop him wasting his effort! This car's door lock has three hidden bars; no matter how hard you pull, it can't be forced open.

All he can do now is watch helplessly as his beautiful, lovely wife falls into my hands!

Joshua Bird's words instantly extinguished the faint glimmer of hope that had just emerged in Belice Klein's heart.

Even Alan Yager has already appeared – can I really still escape his grasp?

True despair arises when hope is immediately extinguished after it has already taken root.

By now, Belis Klein had closed her eyes in utter despair.

In my heart, I silently prayed that Alan Yager would quickly abandon me and leave me alone.

Otherwise, if this incompetent husband happens to see my ugly appearance later...

For Miss Klein, her heart would forever bear an indelible mark.

The very next moment, Alan Yager seemed to hear a voice calling from Bethel Klein's heart—and indeed, he stopped pulling the cart handle.

Instead, a sinister smile crept across the corners of her mouth.

As a practitioner, not even the sound of a flying mosquito escapes his ears.

How could he not have heard what Joshua Bird said in the car?

Those are three hidden bars, right?

I'm sorry, but I don't know what a "safety factor" even means. All I know is that one decisive action can overcome all obstacles.

Then Allen Yegel delivered a punch that made a sharp "clack-clack" sound before slamming it hard against the car door lock.

It was just a simple punch, yet the door lock was instantly bật open.
