But since his boss has already said that he would be attending it personally, he wouldn't dare to make any suggestion otherwise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nodding, he said, \"Okay, Sir. I will go and make the arrangements.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aiden didn't say anything in response. Taking his silence as his approval, Emyr turned and walked out of his office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After some time, when he returned, he had already arranged everything. \"Sir, I informed them of your appearance later. They said they would keep a VIP box arranged for you,\" he informed while his gaze darted to look down at the magazine his boss was checking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This … wasn't this the auction catalogue?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It definitely was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly realization dawned upon Emyr when he saw what item Aiden was actually checking out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Victorian Blue Diamond Necklace —the highlight piece of the auction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder he wanted to visit personally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, his thoughts were interrupted when he heard his phone ringing. Excusing himself softly, he picked to answer it. But as soon as he did, his brows furrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, ask him to wait. I will get back to you,\" he said curtly before ending the call and turning back to Aiden, his expression serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir, Dafydd Winslow is here. He wants to see you,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Aiden's demeanor didn't outwardly change, Emyr, who stood close, could sense the subtle yet unmistakable shift in his boss's bearing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let him in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emyr gave a brief nod before dialling back the number.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Escort him to the President's office,\" he instructed, and not long after, the sound of steady footsteps echoed outside, approaching steadily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A knock came at the door before it was pushed open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dafydd entered the room., his gaze immediately locking with Aiden's —hostility flashing in his eyes within seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stood at the doorway, standing tall, but Aiden didn't move an inch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't even make the smallest effort to stand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sitting calmly behind his desk. Aiden looked up at him with an expression as cold and indifferent as ever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Winslow,\" the employee who had escorted him announced before gesturing politely. \"You may enter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dafydd fingers clenched at his sides, but he held it in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though the blatant disrespect stung, there was nothing he could do about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stepping forward, he spoke coldly, \"I came all the way here —wouldn't a little respect have been appropriate? Especially in front of others?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aiden didn't bother softening his tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since when did we start playing appropriate, Mr. Winslow?\" he asked flatly. \"I let you enter this office. That alone is enough respect … for a small shareholder requesting a meeting with the CEO.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You —\" Daydd's eyes flicked to Emyr, who was still standing nearby, making no move to leave. \"I have something to discuss with him. You can leave first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But, Emyr simply looked at him, unbothered, as if he hadn't heard a word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emyr might appear mild on the surface, but when it came to authority, he only took orders from Aiden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you not hear me?\" Dafydd repeated again, non clearly irritated. \"I asked you to leave.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sorry, Mr. Winslow. Taking your orders doesn't fall under my job description,\" Emyr replied, polite but firm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You —\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Emyr,\" Aiden interrupted cooly, \"you can step out and make sure those arrangements are followed through.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emyr took the cue. With a polite nod, he exited the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the door clicked shut, Dafydd snapped, \"Watch your attitude, Aiden. In front of the world, I am still your father.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I never had any father,\" Aiden replied without any hesitation. \"Neither in my real life, and certainly not on paper.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dafydd's face darkened with fury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was not like he wanted to hate this son —but Aiden was simply too overbearing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every time, he looked at him, he was reminded of Morwenna —of the unshakable pride in her eyes, the arrogant refusal to bow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he hated it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have no interest in being your father either,\" Dafydd said sharply, walking over to the couch and taking the seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I came here today just to remind you that burning the bridges is never a good decision. You terminated so many board members, and cancelled the contracts with major investors, dealers and suppliers —do you really think that was the right decision?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aiden had been expecting this question from the beginning. Or more like, he was waiting for it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, back in Cralens,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Catrin was losing her temper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her assistant stood stiffly in front of her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you mean that you weren't able to find out?\" she snapped. \"Didn't I just ask you to find the identity of the person who has been decided to be the President of Davies International? What's so difficult about it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The assistant hesitated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ma'am, it shouldn't be a difficult task. But despite using all our resources, we weren't able to uncover the identity. The matter is been kept extremely confidential. Apart from a select few, no one knows who the new President is. Everyone is just waiting for the official even to find out. So ... we couldn't get ahead of it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Excuses,\" Catrin snapped, hurling an exquisite vase to the floor., where it shattered into pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you think the President of a company is a position someone can just assign without discussion?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything had to follow a proper procedure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And if there was one thing that Catrin knew —it was that her mother, no matter how tyrannical, would never bypass protocol.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If a new President was being appointed, then it must have been discussed with everyone. Without getting the majority of shareholders' approval, such a decision shouldn't have been possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Madam, unfortunately, we couldn't find out,\" the assistant repeated, keeping her gaze lowered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We have tried our best. There is a huge speculation about who the new President might be, but no one knows. Some believe it could be an internal promotion, but even then, they are uncertain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Catrin's brows furrowed. \"What do you mean?\" she asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The assistant paused for a moment before speaking again, carefully, \"Some employees suspect that the current Vice President might be taking over the role.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Vice President?\" Catrin's frown deepened. \"Who is the Vice President?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1035,"2026-06-06T16:58:29.395Z",1,"novelbin.me","5d185c092f23118a3d45ff81f95e3bc8203a9951995e0a1bc8eb6ec493c6acc7","breaking-free-loving-again-the-flash-marriage-wi-chapter-439","breaking-free-loving-again-the-flash-marriage-wi-chapter-437",823,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbreaking-free-loving-again-the-flash-marriage-wi-cover.jpg"]
