Chapter 792
Brenda had one son whose fate was unknown, and another who treated her like an enemy. How did her life come to this?
She choked up and said, "Then let Katherine go. What she did to you before was under Martin's coercion. She's innocent."
"Mrs. Winston, you should take care of yourself first," Haley said calmly. "Once Martin receives the appropriate punishment, you will naturally regain your freedom."
Brenda lowered her head, her eyes red.
The children were confounded, understanding the rationale yet unable to influence the outcome.
At that moment, Alfred walked in from outside and reported, "Mr. Winston, your assistant is here."
Ivan's eyes narrowed.
He investigated Winston Group's affairs. His ex-assistant was Luke Torres, but Martin's appointment was followed by a thug, Robert, as the executive assistant.
His return to Watertown had not been made public, yet Robert managed to find him the day after he got home.
It was very likely that Robert had arranged for someone to monitor the Winston family villa.
Ivan said calmly, "Let him in."
Haley called to the kids, "Come on. Let's go watch TV in the living room."
Brenda sighed and turned to head upstairs.
Robert shadowed Alfred from the yard to the dining room, immediately noticing Ivan seated with his back turned.
He hadn't seen Martin for more than half a month, but Martin's aura seemed even colder.
Robert took a few steps closer and lowered his voice. "Why haven't we been able to reach you these past two days? We've had some internal issues."
"What issues?" Ivan's cold voice hit him.
Robert felt something was off but didn't think much of it. "Our previous company reopened less than half a month ago, and people are already scrambling to buy it, offering high prices. Should we sell it?"
Ivan tapped his fingers on the table and said calmly, "The underground bio-intelligent chip technology company?"
"Right now, this industry is booming on the black market. A company successfully developed a chip that can control human brain nerve cells, and it sold out immediately. Those business moguls who want to acquire our company are aiming to leverage our resources to develop more advanced chips. Once they succeed, their profits could increase at least a thousandfold."
Robert spoke in a low voice, suddenly feeling a sharp gaze on him.
Robert looked up abruptly to see Ivan, who had been sitting with his back to him, suddenly turn around, his eyes cold and devoid of emotion.
"Boss?"
Robert was startled, his heart suddenly filled with panic.
He exclaimed in shock, "What happened to the scar on your face? It wasn't there before!"
How could Martin's face be ruined after just half a month?
"Who did this? I'll take people to wipe out their entire family!"
Robert roared angrily, his earlier fear vanishing instantly.
Ivan's expression remained cold.
No wonder Martin was able to impersonate him and hold the position of CEO of the Winston Group for so long—no one could tell the difference.
Except for Haley, who deeply loved him, and Brenda, who gave birth to both him and Martin, no one else should be able to tell them apart.
Ivan coldly rubbed his fingers and said indifferently, "Burn the lab."
Robert was stunned and asked in confusion, "Why? If you don't want to run it, just sell it. They're offering a good price."
"I said burn it. Are you trying to offend me?"
Ivan's cold eyes swept over him, and Robert was startled.
He quickly lowered his head. "Yes, I'll take care of it right away."
Robert left as quickly as he came, his hurried figure looking as if someone were chasing him.
