Chapter 1013
Complying with her husband’s request, Mrs. Newman reluctantly put a gift together.
She then saw Mr. Newman out the door.
Once Mr. Newman was gone, Mrs. Newman murmured to herself, “She’s just a country bumpkin. I doubt Mr. York
will love her forever. The girl’s just a breath of fresh air to Mr. York for now. The country bumpkin won’t be the lady
of the house for long once he’s bored of her.”
Half an hour later, Zachary got a call through the intercom. Mr. Chaplin relayed Mr. Newman’s wishes to meet.
Needless to say, Zachary knew why Mr. Newman was here.
Mr. Newman turned up before Zachary had a chance to get even with the guy.

Mr. Chaplin hung up and relayed the message.
Sitting in the building’s VIP lounge on the first floor, Mr. Newman quietly but restlessly waited. He pulled himself
together at the sound of incoming footsteps, pretending to play it cool as the receptionist approached.
“Mr. Newman, our CEO will see you upstairs.”
Mr. Newman rose to his feet and thanked the receptionist before following the receptionist with a gift in hand.
The absence of Mr. Newman’s bodyguards was to show Zachary that he came in peace.
In the CEO’s office, Zachary put Mr. Chaplin’s call down and dialed the intercom to reach Callum. Zachary said,
“Come to my office, Callum.”
Thinking it was work-related, Callum put his tasks aside and went to the top floor. He was one step ahead of Mr.
Newman to reach the CEO’s office.
“Zack.”
Callum closed the door behind him and asked, “What’s the matter?”
“Sit.”
Zachary gestured for his cousin to take a seat.
Callum sat down and waited for his cousin to say something. However, his cousin kept quiet for some reason.
“What’s up, Zack? I can’t guess what’s going on in your head. You’re making me nervous.”
With his mind harking back to his recent job progress, Callum was sure he cleared his work without problems at all.
It gave him a bit of confidence.
“Nothing much. Just sit there.”

Knock, knock.
“Come in.”
Swinging the door open, Mr. Chaplin stepped into the office and courteously uttered, “Mr. Newman is here, sir.”
He then turned his body sideways and beckoned Mr. Newman to enter. Mr. Newman gave Mr. Chaplin a nod before
walking into Zachary’s office, bearing a gift.
Mr. Newman came into the office all smiles.
“Mr. Zachary. Mr. Callum,” Mr. Newman pleasantly greeted the cousins.
Mr. Chaplin took the gift from Mr. Newman and placed it on the coffee table before pouring Mr. Newman a drink.
Since his cousin remained still, Callum got up and politely brought Mr. Newman to the sofa in the guest sitting area.
Zachary only rose to his feet and walked around his desk after Mr. Chaplin gave Mr. Newman a drink and exited the
office. Zachary drew close and took a seat opposite Mr. Newman. Once seated, he looked Mr. Newman in the eyes.
“What do you want, Mr. Newman?”
His voice was husky and curt.
