After Yahaira finished speaking on the phone, she did not wait for Marilyn's response and promptly hung up.

Listening to the dial tone, Marilyn felt like a marionette being manipulated by others, with everything in her life being controlled and arranged.

Since early morning, many people were preparing for the banquet that night.

Zabinski Group's legal team was working tirelessly to secure Robert's release on bail, but Zabel Group provided a statement claiming to have new evidence, resulting in Robert being kept for further investigation.

It was widely known that a behind-the-scenes power struggle between Zabinski Group and Zabel Group had begun.

However, in Yrinas, which was Zabinski Group's territory, it was unusual for its director, Robert, to remain locked up.

In the eyes of others, Zabinski Group seemed to have already lost. It was impossible for Zabinski Group to extend its influence all the way to

Acocester, nearly hundreds of miles away, and have the director of Zabel Group investigated.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Robert was still sitting in the interrogation room. Zabel Group claimed to have evidence to present, keeping Robert from leaving.

After a sleepless night, Robert's eyes were filled with exhaustion. Although his body longed for a good bath and rest, he knew the real battle had yet to begin.

Robert sat there, taking deep breaths and adjusting his mindset.

At five o'clock in the afternoon in The Treasure Trove's general manager's office, several workers shuttled around.

Naomi appeared unusually dressed in blue jeans, canvas shoes, and a white T-shirt, exuding youthfulness and vitality.

Naomi's appearance in the company in such attire was because, starting that day, she would no longer be the manager of The Treasure Trove.

Connor stood in the office, organizing the workers to move things out.

As Naomi watched the items being taken away, a sense of nostalgia and reluctance filled her eyes. "Dad, are we really not coming back anymore?"she asked.

"Yes," Connor sighed. "We won't be coming back.Your grandpa specifically asked us to return, and we would stay there. We'll leave things here to your uncle."

When Naomi heard that they would not return, a figure involuntarily appeared in her mind, and she pouted. "Dad, how about I return with you for a few days? I'm familiar with The Treasure Trove's business, after all. I can assist my uncle when I come back. Once he gets acquainted with everything, I can go back. Okay?"

"That's not for me to decide," said Connor with ahelpless smile."Your mother wants you to stay there. All right, hurry up and pack your things. The plane leaves at 7:30, and we're running out of time."

Naomi suddenly changed the topic."Dad, do you think Robert will be released today? How much influence did Zabel Group exert to have him detained?"

"The Zabel family is one of the top families inthe five western states and wields immense power, but don't underestimate Zabinski

Group," replied Connor, his eyes revealing a hint of admiration."Robert's father is truly remarkable. Zabinski Group is a solid business empire. If those old men from Zabel Group were to take action, Robert might have difficulty handling it. But these are just minor troubles caused by the successors. They can't create a catastrophe. Moreover, despite his young age, Robert is quite formidable."

Naomi's bright eyes twinkled, and she said, "Dad, I'm done packing. Wait for me downstairsfor a moment. I need to go somewhere, but I'll be back soon!"

After speaking, Naomi dashed out of the office like a gust of wind.
