"What's going on," Julian Sia closed the file in front of him and decisively made a phone call.
Claire Green received his call, chuckled, and raised her hand to rub the boy's hair, explaining the ins and outs succinctly.
Upon hearing this, Julian Sia couldn't help but show a hint of a smile in his eyes.
"I didn't expect Claire to have such a side."
He propped his head, speaking with a smile in his voice.
Claire Green lazily led the boy to the car, hearing his implication, she chuckled slowly.
"There are still many things big brother doesn't know."
Julian Sia's lips curled up, he laughed lowly, "Is Claire hinting at something to me?"
Claire Green's footsteps halted, her beautiful eyes lifting playfully, she said languidly, "What is big brother imagining?"
Then.
She smiled and asked, "Is big brother at the company now?"
Julian Sia rose lazily, standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, he asked back.
"Does Claire want to come over?"
Claire Green softly agreed, then glanced at the boy, she wasn't really fond of dealing with children.
Upon hearing the answer, Julian Sia quickly said, "I'll have Charles Jordan wait for you downstairs."
After hanging up the phone, Claire Green was about to take the boy to the car when suddenly, a man beside them walked over.
"Little master..." The man just started speaking but quickly shut up upon seeing the coldness in the boy's eyes.
Claire Green looked with interest, her eyebrows slightly raised at the sight.
So the little guy is actually a little wolfdog.
The boy swept his eyes around coldly, implying a warning.
The remaining few people slowly halted, somewhat at a loss, if the young master left with someone, how would they explain it?
The boy didn't care what they were thinking, he raised his head, adorably pursing his lips and smiling, "Sister, shall we go?"
Claire Green looked at him unhurriedly, saying nothing, and led him into the car to leave.
The few men stayed behind, watching the increasingly distant car, all with bitter expressions.
...
Bayne City.
"Mr. Song, it's bad, our initial project has a problem," In the Song Group building, a man wearing glasses hurriedly pushed open the chairman's office door, anxious.
Upon hearing this, Dane Song slapped the table and stood, frowning deeply and speaking in a serious voice, "What did you say?"
The man met his gaze, shrank his neck, and spoke with determination, "Ten minutes ago, Mr. Li over there was suddenly reported, and he's already been taken away, while all his funds have been frozen, which means..."
"Which means our collaborative project is ruined, and we might face investigation risks," Dane Song's face turned somewhat pale as he thought of this.
He'd done quite a few tax evasions in recent years, and if checked, it would all be over.
But whom did Old Li offend that he was taken away so unexpectedly?
Dane Song pondered over potential people, his mind rapidly flickering through possibilities, finally thinking of Claire Green, his expression changed slightly, then he shook his head.
It's unlikely to be her, she had no contact with Old Li, nor the capability.
Seeing his expression change unpredictably, the man cautiously spoke, "Mr. Song, what do we do now?"
Upon hearing the voice, Dane Song immediately snapped back, thought for a bit, "You go out first."
The man glanced at him and quietly left.
Once he left, Dane Song hurriedly made a call, "Did you put the things I gave you in a safe place?"
"Yes, no one will know where it is," the voice replied confidently.
Upon receiving the affirmative reply, Dane Song finally relaxed, but the thought of the ten billion invested filled him with hatred.
...
Claire Green brought the boy to Sia Group, where Charles Jordan was already waiting.
Seeing the two, Charles Jordan approached with a smile, "Ms. Green."
Claire Green responded blandly, following behind him.
The receptionist saw the special assistant to the president being so respectful and widened her eyes, curiously observing Claire Green.
Upon looking, she even slowed her breath considerably.
The girl had a cool, delicate face, alluring brows and eyes, lips with a subtle red hue.
Her whole being exuded leisure, holding onto a child.
Only when their figures entered the elevator did the receptionist recover.
Could that girl be Mr. Sia's girlfriend? She was stunningly beautiful.
"Mr. Sia, I'll excuse myself now," Charles Jordan spoke with a slight smile.
Julian Sia nodded, his gaze fixed on the two beside him, he spoke slowly, "Claire, is this the child you picked up?"
Claire Green lounged on the sofa, her tone drew lazy, "Mm, how is it, handsome right?"
Julian Sia didn't answer, he just looked at the boy with indifference, Claire had picked up someone she's familiar with.
His tone was flat, "Kid, you've gotten bolder lately."
The boy was also surprised to find Claire Green knew Julian Sia, he was a little stunned.
He just pretended to hit on a pretty sister, how come it turns out she's taken.
"Brother Julian, long time no see," whatever the case, greet first.
The boy climbed onto the sofa, saying with a grin.
Claire Green glanced at the two, raising an eyebrow, "You two know each other."
Before Julian Sia could speak, the boy eagerly started his self-introduction.
"Sister, I'm Benjamin Green, you can also call me Ben."
Upon hearing this, Claire Green's eyes deepened, surname Green, she hadn't expected her fate with this name, a random pick-up on the street was also a Green.
Thinking of those people with the surname Green from previous lives, Claire Green felt a bit irritated, but her expression remained intact.
"Capital City Green Estate."
Claire Green's voice was very faint, sounding certain.
Julian Sia had been watching her, sensing her emotions were off, he walked over and touched her head.
"Mm, what's wrong."
"Nothing."
Claire Green lowered her eyes, shaking her head.
"Sister, what's your name?" Benjamin Green leaned over, asking wide-eyed.
"Claire Green."
Upon finishing the words.
Benjamin Green smiled happily, he shared the same surname with his sister.
Witnessing this, Julian Sia casually dialed a number.
...
"Where's Benjamin Green?" Caleb Green got out of the car and looked around, not seeing him, he asked coldly.
A few men jostled, eventually, a man with a decent appearance stepped forward and spoke quietly, "Young master left with someone."
Upon hearing this, Caleb Green felt a twitch in his brows, seeing their expressions it was clear they hadn't stopped him.
"Who did he leave with, why didn't you follow?"
The man thought for a moment, blushed, "A girl who was particularly attractive, young master wouldn't let us follow."
Caleb Green rubbed his forehead, suppressing his inner anger, that little brat was really asking for it.
Suddenly, his phone rang, upon seeing the caller, a surprise flashed in his eyes, "Mr. Sia."
Julian Sia glanced at the boy clinging to Claire Green and spoke indifferently, "Come and take your little brat back."
Upon hearing this, Benjamin Green suddenly wasn't happy, he pouted his chubby face, speaking up.
"I don't want to go back; I want to stay with sister."
His voice traveled through the phone to Caleb Green's ear, leaving him puzzled about who this sister he was talking about was.
"I'll be right over," he said before hanging up.
Meanwhile, Claire Green lowered her gaze, stood up, and spoke softly, "I have things to do, I'll leave him to you."
Watching her leave, Julian Sia pondered, ever since Benjamin Green spoke, Claire had seemed off in mood.
"Kid, did you know her before?"
