Hearing the man’s voice on the other end, which was soft and calm like a breeze, sent shivers down Tess‘ spine. To her, it sounded more like the devil breathing down her neck.
This madman! That was a direct threat!
Tess trembled in fury, wishing she could punch Max through the phone.
He actually used Layla’s safety to pressure her!
“Lock Group headquarters, Tess. I’ll be expecting you.”
A low, mocking laugh slipped through the speaker, and before Tess could say anything, the line went dead.
A cold chill crept through her body, and her vision spun.
At that moment, Max lounged back in his chair, clearly pleased with himself, even taking a moment to tease Layla.
But Layla didn’t give him the slightest attention.
Soon after, the secretary who had stepped out returned looking uneasy. He held his phone and lowered his tone, “Mr. Hunt, it’s Mr. Lock.”
“Finn?”
Max’s eyebrows rose as he glanced at his limited–edition timepiece.
He had arranged for everything to happen discreetly, and it was already quite late. Why would Finn be aware?
His expression darkened, a flash of alertness in his eyes. “Tell him I’m already asleep.”
“If you don’t answer within 60 seconds, Lock Group

Finn’s voice came through like frozen steel, full of menace.
The secretary quickly muted the phone, cold sweat gathering at his temples.
Max’s face dropped immediately.

“He’s already on his way, isn’t he?”
Max’s eyes narrowed dangerously.
The secretary stiffened. The very next moment, someone knocked at the door.
“Mr. Hunt, a representative from Lock Group is here.”
Both Max and the secretary tensed at the announcement.
He had only just sent a message, and Lock Group was already at the entrance?
Max’s brows drew together as he eyed the door.
The secretary stepped toward it, but Max raised a hand to stop him.
He moved to open it himself, but the moment his fingers touched the knob, a chill traveled up his arm.
Standing just outside was Finn, with the receptionist beside him, looking lost and panicked.

Finn’s gaze was like ice, cutting straight through Max.
The air seemed to thicken under the weight of his presence.
Their stares collided, like sparks bursting in the silence.
“Mr. Lock Been a while.”
Max was the first to break the silence. There was a faint smirk at the edge of his mouth.
Finn didn’t respond. His eyes flicked past Max. landing directly on the baby on the couch.
