This led to the confirmation that Monica was indeed the only daughter of the Norton family.
The Norton Group, known for their involvement in both legitimate businesses and underworld dealings, was certainly not a group to be trifled with.
Yvonne looked at me with a hint of apology in her eyes. "The Stone family has always been in the Norton family's debt, and I had no choice but to comply. I am truly sorry about this."
I was silent for a moment, then shook my head. "I don't blame you."
With that, I left Yvonne's office.
I never imagined that Monica would have such a background.
It was my own action of hiring the bodyguard that accidentally revealed Monica's true identity.
Yet, there was no way I could simply sit back and let events unfold.
People like Liam and Monica, once they got the upper hand, wouldn't give me a chance to breathe.
I informed Yvonne that I was leaving the Stone Group. Instead of trying to stop me, she offered me a substantial severance package.
We both understood that our decade-long friendship had reached its conclusion.
After departing from the Stone Group, I went directly to the Norton Group.
As soon as Ethan saw me, he greeted me with a teasing smile.
