?Chapter 525:


    Dn’s eyes turned cold, and he ordered Edwin, “Deliver a p.”


    Edwin froze. Who was he supposed to p? Himself? But he hadn’t done anything wrong—had he? He waspletely lost.


    Brendon’s voice rang out, loud and arrogant. “Didn’t you hear Mr. Scott? p yourself and apologize to Ynda! What are you waiting for?”


    Ynda added with a fake sweet smile, “Maybe we should let it go… He probably didn’t mean it. Some people forget who they are once they get a little borrowed power.” She was clearly mocking Edwin, implying he had forgotten his ce as a mere assistant.


    “So annoying,” Dn snapped, shooting a sharp re at Edwin. “What are you waiting for? Do it.”


    Meeting Dn’s piercing stare, Edwin genuinely started to believe he’d done something wrong to deserve a p. He slowly raised his hand, ready to p himself. But just then, Christina’s voice broke through. “Edwin, you should be pping the one making all the noise.”


    Her words struck Edwin like lightning. Could it be that Ynda was the one who deserved to be pped, not him? He didn’t dare act impulsively, nor did he dare ask Dn for rification, afraid of annoying him further.


    Edwin turned to Christina, desperate. “Miss Jones, what exactly do you mean?” As long as Christina gave the word, he would p whoever she told him to. He knew Dn always listened to her.


    Christina smiled calmly. “You weren’t wrong pping Ynda in the first ce. And the one Dn’s asking you to p is definitely not you.”


    Dn’s eyes narrowed. He hadn’t expected Edwin to misunderstand his order. Since Edwin was losing his edge now, maybe that year-end bonus needed reconsidering. But Christina didn’t seem upset, so he decided to let the matter of the bonus slide—for now.


    Christina nced at Dn,posed as ever. “Isn’t that right, Mr. Scott?”


    “Yeah,” Dn said, his voice softer as he looked at her.


    Brendon frowned. “But earlier, you said Edwin was a pest…”

    Dn turned to Brendon coldly, his gaze sharp. “Edwin is my secretary. He’s no pathetic pest, as you mentioned. Of course, he wasn’t wrong pping your girlfriend, as per my order.”


    Brendon froze. That re felt like he was being dunked in ice water.


    Edwin silently gave Christina a thumbs-up in his heart. Whatever she said, Dn went along.


    Dn spoke, his voice cool andmanding. “Edwin.”


    “Yes, Mr. Scott,” Edwin answered quickly.


    Dn’s gaze was sharp, dangerous. His words cut like a knife. “Do it.”


    “Absolutely!” Edwin stepped forward, his voice steady and sure.


    “Don’t you dare!” In a heartbeat, Brendon moved in front of Ynda, shielding her with his entire body. Narrowing his eyes, he shot Dn a re. “You’re crossing the line, Mr. Scott!”


    A chill settled in the air as Dn retorted, “And if I am, what are you going to do about it?”


    No words came to Brendon’s lips. Deep down, he knew Dn had the strength and authority to do whatever he wanted.
