Chapter 3

Colin Carter was back.

Claire Carter was in a mess.

Claire was the only one in the second branch of the family who could be relied upon.

As for her brother Colin, he was the epitome of a prodigal son, yet he refused to admit his own incompetence, always trying to compete with Claire.

I had no time to care about their sibling drama.

There was still a mess left in the company to deal with.

I was busy all day, running between multiple parties, without a moment's rest.

When Jack was reporting the company's movements to me, he mentioned William.

Apparently, William hadn't been able to catch me at my villa these past few days, and he hadn't seen me at the company either.

He had no choice but to find Jack.

Jack honestly lowered his head: "Miss Carter, he's been sending me messages asking about your schedule these past few days..."

"There's no need to report anything about him to me in the future."

"If he dares to come to the company to find me again, throw him out."

Just as I had managed to patch up the supply chain that afternoon, I breathed a sigh of relief and made plans to have afternoon tea with Samantha.

Who would have thought that as soon as I stepped out of the elevator from the underground parking garage, I'd run into William.

He looked unwell.

"Fiona Carter, what do you mean by blocking me?"

He blocked my way.

These past few days, Claire had been fighting tooth and nail, probably leaving little time for him.

Foxes are naturally suspicious, and he likely had his guesses.

I sneered, curling my lip: "Do I need a reason to block you?"

"You want to break up with me?" His voice suddenly rose, looking at me in disbelief.

I frowned at his arm blocking my way.

"Break up?"

I scoffed.

"It was just a kept relationship, aren't you thinking too highly of yourself?"

"What do you think you are?"

Now I find even looking at him disgusting.

Just thinking about him being used by Claire makes me sick.

I walked away in my high heels, getting into the car without looking back.

But he actually chased after me, desperately grabbing onto my car door.

William looked very undignified.

But his anxious heart couldn't care about that anymore.

He was worried about my abandonment.

Because with the disappearance of my favor, many of his privileges in the city would turn to dust, scattered in the wind.

He also knew clearly that Claire couldn't give him whatever he wanted like I did.

Not only because Claire didn't dote on him enough, but also because Claire might not be able to afford it like I could.

So, knowing that I could give him unlimited financial power, he still dared to bite the hand that fed him.

That's enough shamelessness and lack of bottom line.

"Fiona Carter, I just didn't come to accompany you as you wished a few days ago, why are you so angry? What are you throwing a tantrum about?"

He clicked his tongue irritably, seeming to think he had done nothing wrong, only shirking responsibility.

"You know, my career is on the rise, I don't have that much time to accompany..."

I interrupted him with a fake smile: "If you block me again, I'll chop off your pathetic little thing and feed it to the dogs."

"Also, stop calling me Fiona Carter. From now on, when you see me, either call me Miss Carter or CEO Carter."

Under his shocked and confused gaze, I stepped on the gas and drove away.
