Diana turned around and saw Mrs. Logan, the housekeeper.

"Miss Anderson! I am so glad to see you again!" Mrs. Logan exclaimed. She glanced at Abby, who was exploring the room, and asked excitedly, "She is Brian's daughter, right? She looks so much like him."

"Abby, this is Mrs. Logan."

"Nice to meet you," Abby smiled.

Mrs. Logan laughed.

"It's so nice to have you back." She helped Diana sort out the room and told her what had happened in the past two years and what Brian had been through.

Diana was surprised to hear all that Brian had suffered. Then again, neither of them had had an easy life in their two years apart; Diana almost died when she was delivering Abby.

When Brian arrived at the company, Ken was waiting for him in his office.

"How's it going?" Brian asked.

"We had already arranged everything to be done again after what happened last time. But the drafts of the new design were stolen again." Ken was rather anxious. This could destroy the company.

"What could this do to the company?" Brian asked.

"It could be pretty bad. We have publicly announced that we are going to release new products. But now the designs are gone and might already have been sold to our competitors. Besides, we don't even know who is doing this. It is rather difficult for us to figure out who is planning all this." Ken frowned.

Brian nodded and thought for a while.

"How about a redesign? Is there enough time?"

"It will be quite hard. We only have one week."

"Then postpone the press conference," Brian said firmly and walked to the second floor.

The employees at the human resources department stood to attention when they saw Brian.

"Boss!" The director came to Brian's side.

"Any progress?" Brian addressed the director directly.

But the director looked down, shook his head, and murmured, "No…"

"Quicker! I need results!" Brian shouted and then turned on his heel and left.

The employees were even more anxious now. The boss had come himself so it must be very important!

Brian stormed out of the HR department, barely breaking stride all the way back to his office. He immediately called Ken in.

"Boss, what is it?" Ken was panting heavily as he walked in.

"I am thinking about asking Sybil to be in charge of the designing team."

Ken was stunned. "But Sybil hasn't done this for a long time." After having Aaron, Sybil had mainly focused on the family.

"I know. If I had another option, I wouldn't ask. I need her help." Brian had a feeling that the man who had stolen the designs was still in the company.

Ken nodded. "I will ask Sybil's opinion when I get home."

"Do not tell anyone else until we have made the new products," Brian added.

Ken agreed and walked out. He was about to call Sybil when coincidentally, he received a call from her.

"Honey, Diana invited us to have dinner together tonight," Sybil uttered in a cheerful voice.

Ken smiled. "Okay. I will pick you up after work." The dinner would be a good chance to tell her about Brian's idea.

After finishing work, Ken knocked at the door of Brian's office.

"Come in," Brian replied.

Ken walked in and said with great respect, "Boss, Diana invited Sybil and me to have dinner at your house tonight."

Brian nodded. Diana had called him and told him already. When he was about to leave with Ken, Brian heard his phone ring. "Hello?"

"Boss, we caught him!" It was the director of the HR department.

"Great, I will come down now." After saying that, he ended the call.

"What happened?" Ken asked.

"You go back first. I will be there soon," Brian said in a hurry. He then grabbed his coat and rushed out.

Ken didn't know what Brian was going to do, but he followed the order, drove to pick up Sybil and Aaron, and then on to Brian's house.

***

Diana was still preparing the dinner when Ken walked in.

"Where is Brian?" Diana asked anxiously.

Ken shook his head. "He received a call and then had to go somewhere. He said he would be back home soon."

Diana didn't think anything of this and continued adding the final touches to the meal.

Meanwhile, Brian arrived at the HR department and found that there was no one there but the director.

"Where is everyone? Why are you here alone?" Brian frowned at him.

"I asked them to leave. I think it's better to keep what happened a secret," the director explained.

"Okay. So, who was it?"

"Boss, follow me." The director stood up and walked into his office.

Brian had no reason to suspect anything and went in after him.

But as soon as Brian entered the office, the director slammed the door behind him and locked it.

"What are you doing?" Brian shouted.

The director's expression changed very quickly from friendly to menacing.

"Brian William! Do you remember Deep Sea Corporation, the company you rejected before?"

"Deep Sea Corporation?" Brian frowned, trying to figure out what was going on.

The director screamed at Brian, "Do you know what you have done to me? That was my company! We had to shut down. My wife left me!"

"I refused to cooperate with your company because your products were low-quality," Brian uttered coldly.

"Shut up!" The director interrupted. "Without you, I wouldn't be in this situation! It's all your fault!"

Back at Brian's house, Diana was rather worried about why he hadn't been in touch yet, so she called to find out where he was.

Brian wanted to answer, but the director rushed forward, and from behind his back, he produced a large baton, which he swiftly used to strike Brian with a sickening blow to the head.

Brian was knocked out and hit the ground hard.

Diana called over and over again, but there was no answer. She felt frightened. "He wouldn't refuse to answer my call," she murmured out loud.

"It's okay. He's probably just busy. Let's wait," Sybil said.

Diana looked at her watch again and shook her head.

"No. I want to find him." After saying that, she rushed out.

Sybil had no choice but to ask Ken to follow Diana.

Ken drove Diana to the company. The light in Brian's office was off, but the lights on the second floor were still on.

Without hesitation, Diana ran up to the second floor, which happened to be the HR department.

Ken was hot on her heels and appeared just as Diana was heading into the HR office.

Diana frowned and took out her phone to call Brian again.

And then they heard the ring. It was very close. Diana looked at Ken apprehensively before stepping forward into the dark.
