Henry’s eyes widened in disbelief. He thought, ‘How could I, as an elder, apologize to a junior? Especially not in front of so many people, Isn’t that the same as dragging my reputation through the mud?‘

“You don’t want to?” Landon raised an eyebrow coldly,

“Landon is almost fully recovered now. From now on, the company will be managed by the two of us, so you don’t need to worry anymore,” Amelia said. Too ashamed to stay, Henry turned and stormed out.

Amelia’s hand and whispered, “You won the bet. Are you happy?”

“Yes,” Amelia replied, her eyes lighting up with a smile. Winning her very first bet felt incredibly satisfying. It seemed like she was falling in love with the role of a powerful CEO.

“I’m tired. Let’s talk later,” Landon said.

“Okay.” Amelia stood and addressed the room, “Guys, Landon’s recovery is still ongoing. Let’s wrap up today’s meeting here.”

Someone replied, “Of course. Mr. Kingsley, please rest well.”

Many people echoed, “Wishing Mr. Kingsley a full recovery soon.”

Amelia wheeled Landon back to the CEO’s office, where the secretaries couldn’t help but offer their well–wishes. Once the office door was closed, she quickly called out, “Dr. Harrington, please take a look at him.”

“Amelia, there’s no need,” Wesley laughed. “Landon’s doing just fine. Today, I finally got to see you in action. You’re truly a woman of great capability.”

Amelia blushed awkwardly, smiling. “I’m not that impressive. It’s all thanks to Landon’s support behind the scenes.”

“Everyone says you’re decisive and exceptionally capable,” Wesley teased.

Amelia glanced at Landon and thought, ‘Am I really that capable?‘

“You’re very impressive.” Landon nodded. “But you need to change how you address me.”

“How?” Amelia was puzzled.

Landon continued, “Don’t call me by my full name in public anymore. From now on,

, you’ll call me honey.”

Wesley burst out laughing. “Exactly. Amelia, you’d better pay attention.”

Amelia froze, a shy blush spreading across her face. “That’s not appropriate.”

“I’ve been calling you honey,” Landon teased.

“You don’t have to call me that,” Amelia replied, frowning slightly. She didn’t force him to do anything. Besides, Landon hadn’t exactly gotten her permission to call her that in front of everyone.

“Wasn’t it you who started it?” Landon smirked. “Grandma always hears you calling me so sweetly when she visits.”

Amelia’s face turned bright red. She stammered, “That was…because I had no other choice.”

“Well, the situation isn’t much better now,” Landon continued. “My legs still aren’t fully recovered, and they won’t let this slide.”

Amelia’s heart skipped a beat. “What should we do?”

Speechless, Amelia looked at the pile of work on her desk and felt a headache coming on. With a deep sigh, she resigned herself to getting started.

Meanwhile, Landon was comfortably lying in the CEO’s office’s

“For two million dollars a day–who wouldn’t like this kind of work?” Landon replied flatly.

“Good point,” Aaron said and thought to himself, ‘Give me two million dollars a day, and my whole family is at your service.’

“Have they caught the person who killed Zachary?” Landon asked.

“Not yet. But the Foster family has already taken Zachary’s body back. The police have started investigating based on the type of gun used by the killer.”

“We need them to move faster. William can’t die.” Landon narrowed his eyes. He thought, ‘What does William know that is worth Zachary being silenced?‘

“Mr. Kingsley, as you instructed, four more bodyguards have been assigned to protect Mrs. Kingsley in secret. However, Pamela’s emotions are unstable, and she might cause trouble again.”

“Tell Matthew to control Pamela. If he can’t even handle this, then he has no business running the Foster family,” Landon snorted coldly. Aaron nodded in understanding and immediately sent a message to Matthew.
