Chapter 1215 Easier To Control!

• As Cedric Stanton's tone became increasingly aggressive, Emmett clearly alarmed, gestured frantically to calm him down. Leaning closer, he hissed in a desperate whisper, "Mr. Stanton, this is no time to accuse Mr. Nicholson! We need his help, not his anger!" Kingsley's sharp ears caught every word, despite his hushed voice. Initially, he had assumed that Cedric's call was nothing more than a prelude to an outright confrontation—a chance to sever ties and burn bridges. And he had steeled himself for such an outcome.
• With the website manager's position now firmly secured, Cedric and Emmett had lost all strategic value. Whether they were abandoned outright or left to linger, it seemed inconsequential. Yet, when Kingsley caught wind of Emmett's imploring words, his perspective shifted unexpectedly. He hadn't anticipated such unwavering faith from the pair. Despite their backs against the wall, they still chose to seek him out, pinning their hopes on his intervention! As he mulled it over, the pieces fell into place. These two had no cards left to play, no paths to tread other than this desperate appeal—or certain doom!

A smile tugged at the corners of his lips as he remarked, "It seems, Mr. Field, you're in a bit of a bind. How can I assist you?" Cedric, his voice tinged with urgency, replied, "You probably already know the situation, Mr. Nicholson! It won't be long before they come for us! We're as good as finished! Is this something you can help with?"
