Elder Kinston's Exclusive Sweet Wife-Chapter 153 - 157: Power-On Ceremony

Mabel Quinn’s hand rested against his chest, initially intending to push him away, but then she thought of the injury on his shoulder, and suddenly... at this moment, she inexplicably didn’t want to push him away. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

Slowly, she lowered her hand.

His head leaned against her shoulder, as if utterly exhausted, needing rest.

Mabel didn’t struggle, allowing Kyle Kinston to lean on her tightly. She didn’t know what it was like before he was nine, living with his mother. Information about his life before nine couldn’t be found online; all she knew was that he lived with his mother in K City. The things he said to her today, if the outside world knew, would probably shock many people.

Time slowly passed, with one leaning and the other supporting, and the only sounds around them were the animation from the television and the beating of their hearts and their breathing.

Mabel—she was his lifeline. If his life was destined to be lonely, then at this moment, the feeling she gave him was as if she was the only one in the whole world who could sustain this loneliness.

Evelina was transferred back from the position of Deputy Director of the Credit Department to the Logistics Department. This sudden rise and fall left everyone bewildered, even Evelina herself, who was completely in the dark. Recently, though she received gifts from many people, she hadn’t made any mistakes in her duties. At most, the credit audit was a bit lenient, but since she took office, it hadn’t even been over two months, and those credits she approved hadn’t reached the repayment period yet, and nothing went wrong. So why did the bank transfer her back to the Logistics Department?

Those colleagues who flattered her now started to laugh at her.

These days, Evelina has been extremely stressed with her son’s issues, and now paying for a lawyer for her son. Now, even before her son’s matter is resolved, her own troubles have begun.

So, she spent quite a bit of money on favors and finally managed to get a word out from the higher-ups, saying she offended someone, hence being sent back to her original department.

Offended someone? If she had offended anyone recently, it seemed to only be Lyra Grant, that eldest lady from the Grant Family. Could the higher-ups be referring to Lyra Grant and the executives backing her?

The more Evelina thought, the more likely it seemed. She then cursed her daughter half to death in her heart. If it weren’t for that wretched girl causing trouble, how would she have ended up in such a situation?

If she hadn’t been promoted before, it’d be fine, as she originally intended to retire from the Logistics Department. But as she had served as Deputy Director of a popular department, returning to the Logistics Department now, the feeling, that rise and fall, truly left her repressed and frustrated.

The script Mabel Quinn submitted greatly satisfied the editor-in-chief, and finally, Mabel became one of the main screenwriters for this film, while Lyra Grant was only credited as the original author, with her name not appearing in the future in the screenwriting credits.

Of course, this matter wasn’t publicly announced, but within the screenwriting team, everyone understood that although Lyra Grant still held the title of screenwriter, her name was unlikely to appear in the screenwriting credits in the end result of the film.
