Chapter 75 Display of Affection

Caleb stared at him blankly, sighing with wide eyes, but there was nothing he could do.

"Ava must have planned all of this," Caleb murmured. "She colluded with the other company and then

erased the only surveillance video that could prove Stella's innocence. Now all the evidence is on her

side, and Stella has to shoulder the blame."

Liam gave him a sinister glance.

He immediately changed his tone. "But Noah, you should believe in my abilities. I will find another

breakthrough."

Liam stood up silently and walked quietly into the bedroom.

Stella was sleeping peacefully. It seemed that she had been exhausted for the last few days. She

turned to the side, still hugging her pillow. Her face gradually gained a rosy glow.

Liam gently kissed her forehead, smiled, and turned to leave.

"It would be too late when you found a breakthrough." As soon as he left the bedroom, his face

changed, and he looked at Caleb with a cold expression.

"This matter needs to be resolved immediately. We can't delay it. Since they falsely accused Stella of

leaking company secrets, we should start from there."

"Noah, what do you mean?"

"To outsiders, the company's internal affairs may be considered confidential, but they're not considered

a secret to our own people."

Caleb opened his mouth wide. "What?"

"If two companies merge into one, then they are all our people."

"If two companies become one, it doesn't count as leaking secrets. Moreover, the merged company will

inevitably lay off redundant personnel." Liam looked at him and smirked. "You should know who is

redundant."

Caleb was stunned for a while. His mouth twitched, but he didn't know what to say. Finally, he raised

his thumb in a wry smile. "Noah, you're smart!"

"But merging two companies is a big deal..."

"I'll leave it to you," Liam said as he walked toward the kitchen and skillfully tied an apron around

himself.

Caleb felt like his skull was about to explode from the headache.

It was not that hard to merge two companies and fire Ava, but the major action of merging two

companies for no reason would definitely attract attention.

He didn't want to attract the wrong people.

Noah must be crazy to do this for Stella.

While Caleb was lost in thought, he caught a whiff of the aroma of tomato gravy spaghetti wafting from

the kitchen.

It almost made his jaw drop.

He couldn't believe that Noah knew how to cook and take care of others.

"You can go. Don't tell me you want to stay here for dinner." Liam came out with a bowl of spaghetti

and gave him a disdainful look before walking straight into the bedroom.

Caleb peered inside and saw the pampered man, who always had his meals served to him, gently

waking up Stella, holding her in his arms, and coaxing her as if she was a baby.

Then he picked up the bowl of spaghetti, picked up two strands with the fork, and carefully fed her.

He smiled tenderly and happily, his face filled with indulgence, as he asked if she liked it. Like a boy

seeking praise, he asked if his cooking skills had improved.

Sweat broke out on Caleb's head, and he ran out of the house.

What a display of affection! While it was still early, he decided to go back to the law firm and study how

to merge the two companies.

...

The entire week was filled with earth-shattering changes in the company. People were coming and

going. Departments were welcoming new colleagues, and many people left with a gloomy expression,

carrying their personal belongings.

Some were promoted, while others were demoted, and the top executives of both companies were

engaged in fierce power struggles.

The office had turned into a battlefield without gunpowder, and the battle was intense.

The employees were cleaning the new office space, rearranging their seats, and getting familiar with

the surroundings when a sharp, angry voice broke the tranquility.

"Why should I?"

Everyone was startled and looked up.

The voice came from the director's office.

Ava's facial features twisted with anger as she protested loudly, "Why should I be laid off? I've served in

the company for so many years. Now you want to lay me off? What do you take me for?"

"Don't get so worked up." Director David Lewis glanced at her indifferently and placed a cup of coffee in

front of her. "This is a decision from higher-ups. Your shouting at me won't change anything!"

"Higher-ups?" Ava sneered. "Tell me who these higher-ups are, and I'll go find them one by one!"

"Ava, I advise you to stop!" David furrowed his brows. "Do you think your uncle is still a shareholder?

Do you think you can do whatever you want in the company?"

"You..."

"Do you think I'm unaware of the truth behind this?" David became serious. "You colluded with that Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

company to deliberately frame Stella, am I right?"

Ava's expression changed. She glared at the man, unable to utter a sound.

"I've never seen you so dedicated to your work, but you're full of energy when it comes to these little

schemes!" David looked at her. "You know what? Even if you go to find the higher-ups, it will be in vain.

Half of the board of directors has been replaced, and with the merger of the two companies, there will

inevitably be a major reshuffle. I'm lucky enough to keep my position!

"As for you, just listen to the arrangements and never show up in the company again!"

"Ah!" Ava was furious and distraught, mashing anything she could get her hands on. The office

instantly turned into a mess.

"What is wrong with you?" David shouted angrily, grabbing her wrist and flinging her away. "Ava,

behave yourself!"

Ava crashed into the wall and suddenly snapped out of it. She bit her lip and stared blankly at the

enraged man, afraid to cause any more trouble.

Impatiently adjusting his tie, David said, "Ava, when you were acting all high and mighty, did you ever

think that a day like this would come?"

"It's all because of Stella." Ava gritted her teeth. "It's all that b*tch's fault!"

"Stop saying such things!" David sternly interrupted.

If those outside heard it, they would suspect that he had a problem with Stella. That would be

disastrous.

The merger of the two companies was driven by a powerful external force. Otherwise, it would not have

been possible to complete such complex procedures in such a short time. Even Oliver had made his

appearance with the prominent lawyer, Caleb.

Who could bring Oliver and Caleb together to facilitate the merger of the companies?

David felt a chill down his spine just thinking about it.

He had previously misunderstood the ambiguous relationship between Stella and Oliver, but now it

seemed that Stella's backer was much more influential than Oliver.

David suddenly snapped back to reality and looked at the disheveled Ava. Impatiently, he said, "Watch

your mouth. If you offend anyone else, you won't even be able to stay in a small town on the outskirts.

You will end up worse than your uncle.

"Ava, you'd better get lost right now. Don't make me have the security guards throw you out!"
