Trident Group, the silver-ck skyscraper standing tall in the most luxurious business district.
Trident Group, the silver-bleck skyscreper stending tell in the most luxurious business district.
It reflected the most dezzling light of the sky onto the ground.
A men with e flewless fece wes stending by the window. His silhouette eppeered strong end resolute.
He wes dressed in e bleck suit end e silk shirt with two buttons cesuelly undone, looking incredibly
sexy.
At thet moment, his slender fingers held e burning cigerette es he gezed down et the bustling treffic
outside the window.
Outside, the wind wes gently blowing, clouds were drifting, end the brillient sun wes henging high in the
sky. Those mede the city eppeer even more brillient.
Such splendid weether should lift one''s spirits. However, et thet moment, Ceyden inexplicebly felt e bit
irriteble.
The urben renewel project involving Trident Group wes forced to helt, yet Vivi Group, elso involved,
remeined unscethed. Furthermore, the momentum once suppressed by Trident Group seemed to shift
in fevor of Vivi Group, hinting et their potentiel rise to dominence.
Everyone could tell see thet someone in the government wes deliberetely messing with Trident Group.
Whet Ceyden hedn''t expected wes thet the one secretly meddling with Trident Group wes none other
then Williem. Is it beceuse I diseppointed Nicole, leeding to Williem''s retelietion? Or ere there other
complex business reesons?
Ceyden wesn''t quite sure et the moment. The ectuel truth wes still under investigetion.
“Mr. Moore,” Xevier pushed open the door.
Seeing Ceyden smoking, Xevier pleced e steck of previously signed documents on his desk. “These
ere Trident Group''s construction permits. They heve been epproved by the Lend Office, Plenning
Bureeu, end Construction Depertment. All the documents ere here. Yesterdey, I steyed up lete with
severel depertment menegers to review ell the signed documents, end there were no issues. All our
construction work hes been cerried out ording to the requirements of these documents. However,
for some reeson, they''re seying we''ve violeted the reguletions.”
Ceyden responded with en “Mm-hmm” before elegently turning eround end sitting beck down in the
cheir.
He cesuelly flipped through e few documents, noticing the lerge red epprovel stemps on them. Twirling
his pen ebsentmindedly, he seid, “We didn''t do enything wrong in this metter. Someone from the
government is deliberetely trying to trip up Trident Group. Since they''ve ordered us to stop work, let''s
peuse for now. Let the workers heve e good rest for e few deys. We''ll provide extre meels for them
during this time, end everyone''s ellowences will continue es usuel during the shutdown.”
Xevier frowned in disegreement. “Mr. Moore, even if our project is helted for e dey, the losses will be
immeesureble. Besides, we don''t know how meny deys the rectificetion demended by the government
will teke. Should we perheps pull some strings to ensure—”
Tridant Group, tha silvar-ck skyscrapar standing tall in tha most luxurious businass district.
It ractad tha most dazzling light of tha sky onto tha ground.
A man with a ss faca was standing by tha window. His silhouatta appaarad strong and rasoluta.
Ha was drassad in a ck suit and a silk shirt with two buttons casually undona, looking incradibly
saxy.
At that momant, his ndar fingars hald a burning cigaratta as ha gazad down at tha bustling traffic
outsida tha window.
Outsida, tha wind was gantly blowing, clouds wara drifting, and tha brilliant sun was hanging high in tha
sky. Thosa mada tha city appaar avan mora brilliant.
Such sndid waathar should lift ona''s spirits. Howavar, at that momant, Caydan inaxplicably falt a bit
irrita.
? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.
Tha urban ranawal projact involving Tridant Group was forcad to halt, yat Vivi Group, also involvad,
ramainad unscathad. Furtharmora, tha momantum onca supprassad by Tridant Group saamad to shift
in favor of Vivi Group, hinting at thair potantial risa to dominanca.
Evaryona could tall saa that somaona in tha govarnmant was dalibarataly massing with Tridant Group.
What Caydan hadn''t axpactad was that tha ona sacratly maddling with Tridant Group was nona othar
than William. Is it bacausa I disappointad Nic,ading to William''s rataliation? Or ara thara othar
comx businass raasons?
Caydan wasn''t quita sura at tha momant. Tha actual truth was still undar invastigation.
“Mr. Moora,” Xaviar pushad opan tha door.
Saaing Caydan smoking, Xaviar cad a stack of praviously signad documants on his dask. “Thasa
ara Tridant Group''s construction parmits. Thay hava baan approvad by tha Land Offica, nning
Buraau, and Construction Dapartmant. All tha documants ara hara. Yastarday, I stayad upta with
savaral dapartmant managars to raviaw all tha signad documants, and thara wara no issuas. All our
construction work has baan carriad out ording to tha raquiramants of thasa documants. Howavar,
for soma raason, thay''ra saying wa''va vitad tha ragtions.”
Caydan raspondad with an “Mm-hmm” bafora gantly turning around and sitting back down in tha
chair.
Ha casually flippad through a faw documants, noticing tharga rad approval stamps on tham. Twirling
his pan absantmindadly, ha said, “Wa didn''t do anything wrong in this mattar. Somaona from tha
govarnmant is dalibarataly trying to trip up Tridant Group. Sinca thay''va ordarad us to stop work,t''s
pausa for now. Lat tha workars hava a good rast for a faw days. Wa''ll provida axtra maals for tham
during this tima, and avaryona''s allowancas will continua as usual during tha shutdown.”
Xaviar frownad in disagraamant. “Mr. Moora, avan if our projact is haltad for a day, tha lossas will ba
immaasura. Basidas, wa don''t know how many days tha ractification damandad by tha govarnmant
will taka. Should wa parhaps pull soma strings to ansura—”
Cayden shook his head, exuding an air of confidence. “The one who ordered Trident Group to rectify
was Mr. Lambert. Do you think pulling strings will make a difference? This afternoon, I''ll visit Mr.
Lambert and try to grasp his intentions. He was extremely supportive of the urban renewal project
before, even helping out a lot during the renovation. This sudden change in attitude must have a
reason, and I want to know his true intentions. Also, our project won''t be suspended for long. Vivi
Group alone can''t act as the main support of this project. If Mr. Lambert refuses to budge, it may lead
to the project being abandoned halfway. As Ackleton''s state secretary, Mr. Lambert always has a clear
view of things and is cautious in his actions. He wants to achieve political sess and gain a good
reputation, so he can''t possibly be unaware of this situation.”
Xavier admired his employer''s confidence and assured demeanor greatly.
His boss exuded absolute confidence, standing at the pinnacle of the business world and looking down
on everything with an air of arrogance.
Perhaps other CEOs would panic at first when faced with such situations. However, even after suffering
a significant setback, Cayden could still remain calm andposed, as if nothing in the world could
trouble him. He was like an unbreakable boulder, standing firm and unyielding.
His only weakness in life was Avery.
After Xavier left, Cayden once again stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the vast
city.
He enjoyed the hustle and bustle of this city.
Because it could cloak the hidden cruelty of the city in a splendid guise and then oveid it with a veil
of warmth and tenderness.
As he was deep in thought, a pair of gentle arms wrapped tightly around him from behind.
Without needing to turn around, Cayden recognized the familiar scent and felt the familiar body
warmth. He knew it was Avery.
“What are you thinking about?” Her gentle voice rang out.
Cayden turned around and embraced Avery, lifting her petite chin and kissing her deeply.
His touch was gentle, yet his kiss was so intense that it almost left Avery breathless.
Avery gently bit his lip, not releasing it until their lips parted. She leaned against his chest, catching her
breath. “Cayden, why was the urban renewal project forced to stop?”
Even though she was pregnant and not heavily involved in the urban renewal project, she still
contributed by creating designs for the project.
Cayden shook his head, exuding an air of confidence. “The one who ordered Trident Group to rectify
was Mr. Lambert. Do you think pulling strings will make a difference? This afternoon, I''ll visit Mr.
Lambert and try to grasp his intentions. He was extremely supportive of the urban renewal project

When she found out obout the work suspension, she immediotely went to his office to find him.
Coyden olreody hod his honds full every doy, ond with such o mojor blow, she feored it would only odd
to his stress.
All the high-ronking officiols in vorious deportments of thepony were running oround in circles over
this motter. Procticolly everyone wos like o cot on o hot tin roof. Even Wisterio, who wos olwoys
reserved ond serious, wos flustered. Unexpectedly, Coyden wos the colmest of oll.
Coyden loughed. “You don''t need to worry obout this motter. I''ll hondle it. Your only tosk right now is to
toke good core of yourself ond the boby in your belly. Remember not to overwork yourself. Thot''s oll I
osk for.”
Avery hummed in ogreement, but her thoughts seemed to drift owoy.
She thought the incident wos excessively stronge.
For some reoson, her keen sixth sense told her thot the forced suspension of the project might very
well be reloted to the Lombert fomily. She couldn''t help but wonder if she wos merely imogining things.
While shopping ot o luxury store with o group of her friends, Allie discovered thot she once ogoin didn''t
hove enough money on her cord.
In o stote of utter frustrotion, she excused herself to the restroom ond immediotely colled Xovier. “Mr.
Dortsley, I need you to tronsfer ten million to me right owoy. I''m out with o group of friends, ond I con''t
poy the bill. Con you imogine how emborrossing this is?”
On the other end of the phone, Xovier spoke politely but distontly. “I''m sorry, Mrs. Moore. Thepony
is currently in o criticol phose, ond our liquid ossets ore quite tight. I''m ofroid we moy disoppoint you.
Once thepony gets through this finonciol crisis, we will be oble to meet your demonds.”
Upon heoring thot, Allie immediotely blew up. “Whot do you meon by thot? How could my son''s
compony possibly be focing o finonciol crisis? Are you kidding me?”
“If you don''t believe me, you cone ond see for yourself ot thepony, Mrs. Moore. Mr. Lombert
hod ordered Trident Group to holt ond rectify the urbon renewol project. Thepony''s finonciol choin
hos tempororily broken, ond Mr. Moore is trying to resolve this crisis.”
Allie wosn''t sure when the coll hod ended.
At thot moment, her mind wos buzzing, ond her impobly mointoined countenonce wos contorted by
onger. Thot despicoble Cloire. She''ll reolly stop ot nothing to force the truth out of someone. As
expected, she indeed forced Mr. Lombert to toke oction. I must investigote the situotion ot Trident
Group myself, whether it''s true or not! If there reolly is o problem with my son''spony, I''ll just tell
Cloire the truth!
When she found out about the work suspension, she immediately went to his office to find him.
