Chapter 810 

Agnes broke the silence, “So, where are we off to now?” 

“Where do you want to go?” Jared asked with a playful grin. 

“Don’t you have work today?” 

“I can skip a day to hang out with you” 

Agnes thought for a moment. “Never mind, I’ll tag along to your office. I’m kinda missing the beef stew with potatoes in the employee cafeteria at Tim Group” 

Jared chuckled. “Alright” 

But deep down, Agnes was missing something else, or rather, someone – Nocturne 

Lately, Nocturne had become a staple at the Tim Group, brought in every day by Jared 

Jared had even set up a little toddler bed in his office for him. When Nocturne needed his daily slumber, which was at least eighteen hours, he’d be asleep on that bed 

Most of the secretanal staff were aware of the CEO’s son’s sleep habits, and everyone adored Nocturne. It had become a sort of rotation, each taking turns to look after the little guy 

Upon reaching Tim Tower Agnes found Nocturne, as expected, asleep in the office. 

Jared had partitioned a small room within his office and turned it into a cozy children’s nook 

Once Nocturne woke, he would wander out on his own to pick out books to read. 

Agnes spent time with Nocturne in the room, which was also soundproofed enough to give them privacy from the main office area. 

When she stepped out after a while, Agnes was surprised to see Valeria in the office with Jared, seemingly deep in work discussions 

Valeria appeared surprised too at seeing Agnes but managed a polite smile. Still, Agnes couldn’t help but feel suspicious. 

Just earlier in the car, Jared had mentioned that the Thomas Group had snagged the Harmony Hollow development right from under their noses. Now, here sat Valena, the managing director of The Thomas Group, casually engaged in affable conversation with him. How could they maintain such a friendly rapport after such a cutthroat 

business manoeuvre? 

Jared stood up and walked towards Agnes, “Why don’t you rest a bit more in the room?” 

“I’m a little hungry, can’t sleep,” Agnes replied. 

“We can grab lunch soon then, Jared suggested, a casual smile on his face. 

“It’s fine, you continue with your work” 

Suddenly, as if remembering something. Jared said, “Valeria is now a deputy director in marketing at Tim Group, focusing on business development.” 

Agnes was taken aback, Isnt Ms Thomas the managing director of the Thomas Group?” 

Tim Group is big, but compared to the global giant Thomas Group, it’s a league behind. I can’t imagine someone trading the managing director position at Thomas for a deputy role at Tim without a significant reason. 

Valena stood up, her face a mask of professionalism, ‘I suppose you’re not aware, Ms. Pritchard, Ryder has assumed the family business, stepping in as the managing director of Thomas Group. When the crown prince ascends the throne, it’s time for the vassal to step aside 

Agnes was flabbergasted Ryder was taking over? 

All these days, she had been out of the loop on Ryder’s whereabouts. All she knew was that he had resigned from Simpson Hospital and returned home. But never had Agnes imagined Ryder would abandon his cherished field of medicine to take over Cilian Thomas corporate empire 

Confusion swirled within her 

It seemed to Agnes that Ryder’s decision might be connected to her in some way 

Alyssa had given her a month to sort things out with Ryder, to make him willingly step back, promising to reconsider their relationship if she succeeded. 

Agnes had wanted to find the right moment to have a heart–to–heart with Ryder. But now it seemed the impact she had on him was more severe than she had anticipated. 

After a moment of stunned silence. Agnes looked up abruptly and asked, “So, was it Ryder who orchestrated the takeover of Harmony Hollow
