346 Jealous, the pretty young auntie who was almost mine is about to slip away (2 updates)

Tim Payne had a decent impression of his junior sister's male colleague.

But...

He seemed too enthusiastic toward him.

"I never expected Lopez to be junior President Payne's junior sister; she never mentioned it."

Assistant Law stood beside his boss and couldn't help but think to himself:

If she never mentioned it, that means their relationship isn't close.

"After all, we're not in the same industry, and we hardly see each other regularly." Tim Payne was polite since he was his junior sister's colleague.

"I thought she was sick, not injured."

Declan Saunders wasn't foolish.

The public assault incident involving Liam Hugh had caused quite a stir; everyone knew it was aimed at Zoe Payne and inadvertently involved a "friend" of hers, but he never imagined that this friend would be Sussie Lopez.

This was a life-saving grace.

Even a cursory help from the Hale Family could ensure he'd never have to worry about food and drink for a lifetime.
