Mr. Maston said indifferently with a cold face, "Ms. Reed, you are arrogant. It is true that the younger generation will surpass the older. | wonder how long Tenton will develop under your management."

Congratulations! There is a rumor that Mr.
Shaw's accident has something to do with you. You took revenge on Mr. Shaw because of the things he did to you back then. What do you think about this rumor?"
