“I can handle it without you, Isaac. Watch as I succeed and enjoy the riches you'll never get to enjoy. May you perish before you can spend all your wealth!"

Jaylen's words spewed out in a fit of anger before he turned and fled. He denied Isaac the chance to make things difficult for him.

Knowing Isaac's fiery temperament all too well, Jaylen understood that staying there would only lead to torment and abuse.

He wasn't foolish enough to subject himself to Isaac's wrath. Meanwhile, in Isaac's office.

Frustration washed over him as he dropped his pen and pressed a hand to his forehead.

Jaylen's words seemed to have affected him more than he cared to admit. Dialing the internal line, Isaac instructed, “Bring Alick to me." Wynter's voice came through the receiver, “Alright.”

Moments later, Alick entered the office, addressing Isaac with a respectful tone, “Mr. Johnston."

“Dig into the Joviek clan. I want every detail you can find,” Isaac ordered, determination glinting in his eyes.

Alick blinked, perplexed. "But sir, we have no dealings with them."

He was current with all the company's business dealings.

“Just do as I say. Don't question me," Isaac snapped impatiently. Perhaps it was his foul mood or the overwhelming effect of his medication, but his head pounded with a persistent ache.

He struggled to keep his composure, beads of sweat glistening on his forehead under the harsh office Lights.

Alick recognized the signs of Isaac's volatile state, intensified by the recent loss of Camila.

If left unchecked, the consequences could be dire.

He needed to help Isaac let go of the pain, and quickly.

With a worried expression, Alick left the office, only to be approached by Wynter. Her voice was laced with concern as she inquired, “Is Mr. Johnston angry again?"

"Yes." Alick sighed, his mind racing for a solution.

Wynter could sense the weight on Alick's heart, and she decided to share her idea with him. "Mr. Johnston seems to have a knot in his heart."

Of course, that fact was apparent to Alick.

“But, there might be a way to untangle it." Wynter spoke with a hint of hesitation.

A flicker of hope sparked in Alick's eyes. "What way?"

“Well, I know it might sound unconventional, but since Camila is no longer with us, maybe we can find another woman to distract Mr. Johnston. If he starts a new relationship, he might be able to move on from Camila."

As Wynter spoke, she stood tall, trying to catch Alick's attention. Her body language conveyed her belief that she could be the right person for the task.

However, Alick seemed oblivious to Wynter's subtle hints, but he was intrigued by her suggestion.

He knew that starting a new relationship was often considered a remedy for a broken heart.
