Lingering Passion: Mr. Sutton Wants to be Your Male Lead!-Chapter 74: She Has No Heart

Silas Sutton asked what he wanted to eat.

But in Forrest Keller’s eyes, every word was a blade.

What’s more, a blade hanging above his head, ready to fall at any moment.

Forrest Keller didn’t dare to hesitate, he directly exited WeChat and dialed Silas Sutton’s phone.

When the call connected, Forrest Keller spoke nervously, "President Sutton, please let me explain."

Silas Sutton’s voice was cold, "You’re making excuses."

Forrest Keller was at a loss for words, feeling helpless, "It’s not an excuse."

Silas Sutton let out a cold laugh, "Then go ahead, let’s hear your reasoning."

Forrest Keller, "..."

Even over the phone, Forrest Keller could guess Silas Sutton’s expression without seeing him.

Forrest Keller held his breath, caught in a dilemma, afraid of losing his job if he didn’t explain, but afraid of making things worse if he did.

Soon, Silas Sutton’s patience was waning because he heard no explanation from Forrest Keller, "Are you waiting for me to give you an explanation?"

Forrest Keller felt as wronged as Ophelia, hurried to speak, "President Sutton, I swear, I have absolutely no improper thoughts toward Manager Grant."

Silas Sutton, "Are you finished?"

Thinking about his interactions with Stella Grant in the past week, Forrest Keller clenched his teeth and said, "President Sutton, Manager Grant is a good woman."

Silas Sutton sensed the implicit meaning in his words and said coldly, "And then?"

Forrest Keller sympathized with Stella’s situation and admired her inner resilience, so he couldn’t help but speak on her behalf, "President Sutton, Manager Grant and Ray Woods share a good relationship, and I believe it’s immoral to interfere with someone else’s relationship."

Silas Sutton was amused by this, and his voice was like ice, "Good, very good. Forrest Keller, Brynnfield is indeed a place full of outstanding people. You’ve only lived there for a week, and although your abilities haven’t grown, your backbone has."

Forrest Keller, "..."

A second later, Forrest Keller heard a busy tone from the phone.

Forrest Keller moved the phone in front of his eyes, looking at the black screen, and took a deep breath.

Being a good person is hard.

It’s hard to be a good person.

Elsewhere, after hanging up the phone, Silas Sutton irritably loosened his tie around his neck and threw his phone onto the coffee table in front of him.

After a while, he leaned forward, picked up the phone, and sent a message back to Stella Grant: How could I possibly trouble you, no need.

Stella Grant: It’s no trouble, mainly to thank you for your help this past week.

Silas Sutton: Heard from President Sutton that a kidney donor has been found, shouldn’t you be thanking President Sutton?

Stella Grant: Yes, I plan to repay President Sutton through diligent work.

Seeing Stella Grant’s message, Silas Sutton was angry and amused, feeling stuck in his chest.

The way to thank Forrest Keller is by cooking soup in the kitchen; the way to thank him is by working diligently.

Truly maintaining a clear distinction between public and private matters.

Seeing that he wasn’t responding, Stella Grant sent another message: No hurry, take your time to think, let me know when you’ve decided. Thanks again for your help this past week.

Silas Sutton’s long fingers typed a series of letters before deleting them all, leaving only a single word in reply: Sure.

After sending a message to ’Forrest Keller,’ Stella Grant returned to the hospital room to chat with Mrs. Grant.

Mrs. Grant gently touched her daughter’s hair and smiled warmly, "Don’t worry, I will definitely follow the doctor’s advice and cooperate with the treatment."

Stella Grant, like a child, lay on her mother’s lap, her voice muffled, "Mom, you are my entire support now, you must take care of yourself."

Having gone through this, Mrs. Grant had come to realize many things, understanding she couldn’t stubbornly love Stella in the way she thought was best for her, "Yes, I will."

The next day.

Early in the morning, Stella Grant rode in Forrest Keller’s car back to Veridia.

She first went to Omni to complete the handover, then reported for duty at Sutton Group.

Probably because Silas Sutton had given prior notice, everything proceeded smoothly and in an orderly manner.

After finishing all the formalities, Stella Grant was escorted to the Projects Department by someone from the HR department.

Her position remained the same, still the project manager.

Stella Grant had just entered the office, settled in her seat, and hadn’t had time to familiarize herself with the environment yet when she received an internal call from Silas Sutton.

Picking up the phone, Stella Grant heard Silas Sutton’s deep indifferent voice from the other end, "Stella Grant, come to my office."

Stella Grant spoke formally, "Yes, President Sutton."

After the call ended, Stella Grant got up to head towards Silas Sutton’s office.

Heading directly to the top floor’s executive office via the elevator, she saw a group of high-ranking officials, led by Forrest Keller, standing in the hallway with troubled expressions.

Stella Grant paused briefly, then proceeded with steady steps.

As she passed Forrest Keller, she heard him whisper, "Sutton is inside, be careful."
