For so many years, the boss had turned a blind eye to Ian’s behavior and allowed him to do what he did as long as he didn’t go too far. Over the years, the industry he was in charge of had been very profitable.
This was also why the boss did not take action against him.
However, this time he suddenly wanted to take action, which really made the man feel strange.
Could it be that Ian did something to anger the boss?
Hughes waved to the man, and the man left the study.
The next day, in an elegant private room, there was a chess game on the table. A tall figure was sitting cross-legged, holding a black chess piece. There was no one on the other side.
When the black chess piece fell, the door was opened. A handsome man with blond hair and blue eyes walked into the room.
When he saw the person in the room, he put away his usual arrogance and bowed to the man respectfully.
“Boss.”
Hughes pointed to the seat opposite, and the man walked to the opposite side and sat down.
When the man sat down, the white chess piece in Hughes’s hand fell down at the same time.
“Ian, how many years have you been following me?”
Hughes didn’t look at the man and was still playing chess by himself.
Ian didn’t understand why he asked, but he answered honestly, “Five years and one month.”
“How do I treat you?”
“You brought me out. Without you, I wouldn’t be where I am today.” Ian replied as usual, but he had a bad premonition in his heart, and this feeling became stronger and stronger.
There was a ‘click’, the sound of chess pieces falling onto the board.
Ian looked at him nervously, his expression vaguely alert.
Hughes raised his head and looked at him with a stern gaze, “Do you know what I hate most?”
Ian’s heart trembled, “Deception.”
“Since you know, I’ll give you two choices. One is to get out of here lying down. The other is to change your name and leave here. This is because I see you have followed me for many years. Choose.”
Ian’s forehead was already covered with a trace of sweat. He wanted to ask why, but he didn’t dare to ask. Once he asked, he would have no way out.
“I choose the second option.” Ian gritted his teeth and said these words.
The hands hanging by his sides were clenched tightly into fists.
“Very good.” Hughes glanced at him, “You can go.”
“Yes.” Ian stood up with difficulty. Every step he took seemed to exhaust all his strength.
He had worked hard for the Rockefy family for so many years, but what did he get in exchange for it in the end?
If he walked out of this door and left here, what else would he have?
He had always known that Hughes Rockefy was cold-blooded and ruthless, and today he had experienced his cold-bloodedness.
He was not willing to let him go like this.
He was not garbage. After using it, just throw it away.
The hands holding the doorknob stopped. He slowly turned his head, with murderous intent surging in his eyes.
With a ‘squeak’, the door opened and Ian walked out of the room.
The leader of the bodyguard who had been following Hughes walked into the room and said respectfully: “Boss, aren’t you going to deal with him now?”
“No need. It’s not too late to deal with him when he takes action.”
The black chess piece in Hughes’s hand fell, and the winner was immediately determined on the chessboard. The black pieces surrounded in all directions, and the white pieces were killed in pieces.
“Yes.” The leader of the bodyguard responded.
If Ian was smart, he would just leave with the huge fortune he had earned over the years.
But if he really dared to attack the boss, he would only seek his own death.
