The meeting was scheduled at a private club.


    When Loraine arrived, she found Marco and Davy already seated across from each other, their


    expressions stern.


    Marco rose to his feet and pulled out a chair for Loraine, gesturing for her to sit beside him.


    Without hesitation, Loraine quickly took the seat and addressed the two men.


    “What’s going on? What’s this about the news online?”


    Davy scratched his nose and gave a wry smile.


    “Well… The online news isn’t far from the truth, to be honest.”


    Loraine frowned at his response, and Davy sighed, proceeding to share the full story.


    “A good number of the major shareholders in the Cheap and Fine Group are indeed unhappy with my


    decision to open a branch in Vagow. But due to my position, they’ve been biting their tongues.


    However, after I arrived in Vagow, they started scheming behind the scenes.”


    Davy was unfazed by their underhanded tactics. However, a peculiar incident urred a few days ago.


    “Something odd happened recently. A partner suddenly did an about-face.


    He declined to sign the contract, stating that he didn’t understand why


    A N G E L A ‘s L I B R A R Y


    This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    I chose to partner with the Universe Group, and needed to reassess our coboration. This gave the


    dissenting shareholders an opportunity to force me to reconsider my decision.”


    Loraine paused for a moment, and then asked, “Why did he change his mind so abruptly? Who is this


    partner?”


    Given the international standing of the Cheap and Fine Group, no one would willingly cross them.


    Moreover, the timing of this partner’s change of heart seemed too convenient to be a mere


    coincidence.


    Davy seemed to have expected the question. He shook his head and sighed.


    “It’s the Tn Technology Company. They have a new president who was appointed not too Long ago.


    His name is Onyx Webster.”


    Loraine contemted having someone investigate Onyx. After all, financial interests often held the


    greatest sway. The key figure in this might well be Onyx.


    She attempted to reassure Davy, “I understand your apprehensions and concerns, Davy. I promise you


    that the sess of this project will prove those dissenting shareholders wrong. You won’t regret


    choosing the Universe Group and the Bryant Group. The final product, a smart city project and the


    digital technology blueprint in Vagow, will be testament to that!”


    Davy’s expression shifted slightly, but he didn’t respond.


    In truth, the CBD project in Vagow was still in its nascent stages.


    Nobody could guarantee its future. Despite the appeal of Loraine’s words, they painted nothing more


    than a potential scenario.
