"Mr. Hawke, why is Elly so cold like ice all over? Was she locked in the cold storage?"
Evan Miles held Elara Don close, his gaze sweeping over the open cold storage, his eyes turning frigid.
"Not quite sure, when I came in, she was indeed locked in the cold storage."
Damon Hawke straightened his body, watching Evan Miles hold Elara Don tightly, his face somewhat cold.
"Mr. Hawke, I'll take her away first. Please investigate thoroughly the matter of Elly being locked up, and I'll visit again tomorrow."
Evan Miles' tone was unfriendly, he nodded slightly to Damon Hawke, held Elara Don tightly, and turned to leave.
The man's footsteps were uneven, his mouth calling out Elara Don's name softly, over and over.
Such tenderness.
So, the Miles Corporation's Evan Miles is Elara Don's husband?
Damon Hawke's thin lips were tightly pressed, his face as cold as ice.
He slowly pulled out his phone to call Rhun Quinn.
"Rhun, find out immediately what's happening in the research department? Why is Charlotte Soo locked in the cold storage?"
...
Blue Mountain Apartments.
Elara Don had already woken up.
She sat on the sofa, draped in a blanket, drinking the brown sugar ginger tea Evan Miles handed her, taking several large sips.
"Mommy, it scared Bao! Quickly tell Bao, who bullied you? Bao will get a bug to defeat them!"
Harry Soo held a bottle tightly, angrily said.
"Mommy, touch me."
Beside him, Elly's big watery eyes glanced at Elara Don's hand with her chubby little hand.
Such caring little ones.
Elara Don curled her lips, touching the two little ones on their heads.
"Elly, what exactly happened? How did you end up locked in the cold storage?"
Evan Miles furrowed his handsome eyebrows, asking.
"It's nothing, in the workplace, you'll always encounter various problems."
Elara Don tidied the hair by her ears, glanced at the suitcase in the corner, gratefully said, "Evan, thank you for today. If you hadn't arrived in time, I might have turned into a popsicle."
He must have just gotten off the plane.
Thankfully he came here.
"Why are you being formal? It's all thanks to Bao."
Evan Miles glanced at Harry Soo, "He noticed you hadn't returned for a long time and wanted to find you. It just so happened that I arrived, so I went to your company. The security at Hawke Corporation wouldn't let me in, so I called Damon Hawke directly. By the time I reached your research department, Damon Hawke had already taken you out of the cold storage."
So the one who initially took her out of the cold storage was Damon Hawke?
Elara Don's face showed a trace of peculiarity.
She remembered in her daze, she smelled a familiar manly scent and subconsciously called him Tom?
Oh no!
This is big!
Damon Hawke's name has the word 'Tom' in it.
That narcissistic guy better not think she's trying to seduce him again!
"Elly, I have something to do, need to leave first."
Evan Miles answered a phone call, picked up Elly.
"No, I want to stay with Mommy and brother Bao."
Elly's little body squirmed unwilling to go.
"Your mommy isn't feeling well, she needs to rest well today. We'll come back next time, okay?" Evan Miles said with a face full of doting.
"Hmm, okay."
The little one thought about it, nodded obediently.
"So good, say goodbye to Mommy and brother Bao."
"Mommy, brother Bao, goodbye."
The little one waved her soft and chubby hand, sweet and adorable.
Elara Don smiled and waved her hand, reminded gently, "Evan, be careful on the road."
"Mmh, you rest well."
Evan Miles pulled the suitcase with one hand, held Elly in the other, and left the apartment.
The apartment was left with the mother and son alone.
Harry Soo hugged Elara Don tightly, acting affectionately: "Mommy, Bao missed you terribly!"
He finally saw mommy!
Never want to be apart from mommy again!
"This child, don't you see each other every day? Why so clingy."
Elara Don chuckled lightly, lovingly stroking the little one's head.
It's not every day!
Mommy didn't even know he was swapped with other kids for a few days!
Almost couldn't see mommy!
It's terrifying!
Harry Soo's big eyes smartly turned, "Mommy, what kind of me do you like?"
These past few days, mommy was with the young master.
The young master must be better behaved than him.
Does mommy like him more?
"Hmm?"
Elara Don didn't understand Harry Soo's meaning, looked at the little one with confusion.
"I mean, do you like me lively and active like now? Or do you prefer me to be quiet and well-behaved like a few days ago?"
Harry Soo's eyes gleamed, stared at Elara Don.
Elara Don froze slightly, then burst out laughing, "As long as it's you, mommy likes you. But Bao, why don't you tell mommy why you suddenly got so quiet a few days ago?"
"Because... suddenly wanted to be quiet! To ponder life!"
She bursts out laughing!
Elara Don laughed out loud, helped the little one tidy up his collar.
Her gaze inadvertently swept over, catching sight of the little one's slightly bruised arm.
Her face changed instantly.
"Bao, how did you get bruises on your arm?"
"Uh! It was because I was rushing while walking and accidentally bumped into the door."
Harry Soo's eyes twinkled, feeling a bit guilty and a little aggrieved.
This arm bruise was caused by that old witch!
Momless children are like weeds!
So, never want to leave mommy again!
"Walk slower next time, okay?"
"Got it! Mommy, you smell fragrant."
"Sweet talker! Hungry?"
"Hungry! Mommy, if you're not feeling well, how about I cook noodles?"
"..."
The next day.
Hawke Group.
"Have you heard? Yannie Xu was summoned to the company early in the morning, her hand got scalded by boiling water, and she was locked in the cold storage. Now the HR department wants to fire her, Mr. Hawke issued a ban order in the industry, saying she's morally corrupt, never to be hired again, and forbidding major companies from employing her."
"Oh my! That's terrifying! Why did Mr. Hawke get so angry?"
"I heard from our company's security personnel that someone came looking for Charlotte Soo last night, Mr. Hawke found her in the cold storage. I guess, probably Yannie Xu locked Charlotte Soo in the cold storage."
"So, Mr. Hawke is venting for Charlotte Soo?"
"..."
All around, employees were gossiping and pointing at her.
Elara Don stepped into the elevator, her red lips tightly pressed.
It seems the reason she was locked in the cold storage was indeed because of Yannie Xu.
When Damon Hawke acts, he truly is decisively ruthless, making people shudder.
Of course, she doesn't think he's venting on her behalf.
As a manager, it's his manner of handling things.
Ding!
The elevator opened.
Two security guards stood outside the elevator.
They dragged the disheveled Yannie Xu, nodded slightly towards Elara Don.
Elara Don smiled back, her gaze fell on Yannie Xu, touching the woman's resentful gaze.
Yannie Xu is resenting her?
But why didn't she think about why she ended up like this?
