“Mr. Webster, our discussions had been progressing quite well. What made you rethink your stance?


    Have we fallen short in any aspect?” Davy ventured to probe the cause.


    Onyx, a glint in his eyes and a smug grin on his face, responded,


    “Davy, we both know that in our line of business, profitability takes precedence. Nothing is set in stone.


    Naturally, I would choose to work with the highest bidder.”


    Davy got the hint that Onyx was angling for a more lucrative proposal.


    This also hinted at a sinister possibility: Onyx might be in cahoots with the board of directors, possibly


    even bribed!


    Most likely, Onyx was aware of Davy’s predicament and hoped to exploit the internal friction within


    Cheap and Fine Group to maximize his gains.


    As Davy caught sight of Onyx’s smug expression, his fury ignited. Did they actually think he was a


    pushover?


    There was no way he would jeopardize hispany’s interests by kowtowing to such maniptive


    individuals!


    Rising to his feet, Davy retorted icily, “Mr. Webster, it is important to know when to stop reaping your


    benefits. Going too far in your greed can lead to peril.”


    Onyx’s smile vanished, reced by a sardonic expression as he Lounged back in his chair.


    “Mr. Jones, seems like trouble’s your closestpanion. Despite years of experience, you’ve made


    some questionable choices. Coborating with a naive girl and setting up a branch in Vagow is no


    wiser. It will be quite a spectacle to watch you handle the board of directors!”


    Onyx was obviously taking a jab at Loraine. Davy’s brow furrowed as he pondered what might have led


    to Loraine earning Onyx’s disdain.


    Simultaneously, he was gripped with concern for Loraine.


    It was evident that Onyx was not open to negotiation. Unwilling to squander more time, Davy, with a


    gloomy expression, made his exit from the office.

    Upon stepping out of the Tn Technology Company building, Davy lifted his gaze skyward and


    heaved a sigh.


    His eyes were maically drawn to a colossal advertisement stered on the building across the


    street.


    With its minimalistic design and the Sr Company logo in bold, the advertisement was a sight to


    behold.


    The Sr Company, a major yer in high-tech and smart production, had recently skyrocketed to


    fame with its impressive pace and strength.


    It was Leagues ahead of the Cheap and Fine Group.


    Historically, Davy would neverpromise his dignity by pleading for assistance.

    But now…


    Davy remembered Marco’s words and found himself caught in indecision.


    Perhaps it wouldn’t be such a disastrous move to give it a shot?
