Chapter 102


    Even though Brielle had no desire to be entangled with William, she had to admit he was spot on–Max


    truly held his values in high regard.


    Alpha Enterprises‘ leadership hadunched a total of five initiativesst year, sparking a frenzy of


    competition among the teams. This not only tested their mettle but also fostered a cutthroat culture


    within the


    While it was true that business oftencked clear distinctions between “good” and “evil,” and


    sometimes even between “right” and “wrong,” it didn’t mean thatpanies should have been devoid


    of a sense of social responsibility. Companies shouldn’t have engaged in


    For now, Alpha was unscathed simply because a few of its leaders had connections in high ces. But


    in the ever–shiftingndscapes of politics andmerce, should their protective canopy fall, a deluge


    ofwsuits would inevitably await Alpha Enterprises. Dorsey International getting involved with such a


    company would only attract trouble.


    Brielle hung her head, acutely aware of Ryan’s re–cold, mocking, and venomous. The shadows cast


    by what Ryan brought to her that night were vivid in her memory, and she realized she shouldn’t have


    provoked him. But even if she hadn’t done so today, Ryan would never have let her


    off the hook.


    Ryan narrowed his eyes and switched the content on the big screen. “We invest in apany based


    solely on its potential profitability. Other considerations are irrelevant. These are the strategies for the


    future given to me by Alpha’s leaders. Take a look before we make any decisions.”

    Originally, Brielle had thought Alpha might go bankrupt and restructure. within the next two years. But


    after seeing the strategy, she suspected they might barelyst another year.


    Ryan was too eager to turn his fortunes around with this investment, and given his longstanding


    friendship with Alpha’s president, he had overlooked crucial details.


    She frowned and slowly put down her pen. To be honest, the strategy was beautifully crafted, a


    carefully polished piece.


    Ryan went on with more talk, each sentence more professional than thest, before finally turning off


    the big screen.


    “Alpha chose Dorsey International because of a personal connection. with me. We absolutely can’t


    miss this opportunity.”


    Brielle’s eyelidszily twitched as she spoke up in a soft voice, “Investing two billion is a huge sum.


    Surely it would require Mr. Dorsey’s approval, right?”


    Otherwise, what was Max, the president, but a mere figurehead? How could Ryan be so bold?


    Caught off guard by Brielle’s blunt question, Ryan struggled to produce the exnation he had


    prepared. He had nned to break up the investment into smaller portions, like the previous building


    deal, to avoid requiring Max’s approval. Knowing Max’s reputation for integrity, Ryan guessed that just


    seeing his name, Ryan, would prompt Max to reject the project outright.


    Sensing Ryan’s hesitation, Brielle couldn’t help but smile. “It is such a major project. Mr. Ryan, are you


    thinking of bypassing Mr. Dorsey and going straight in? It hasn’t been long since the building scandal,


    and several here are still on Mr. Dorsey’s list. If you were to proceed like this, it might be difficult to


    exin to Mr. Dorsey.”


    Ryan took a deep breath, wishing he could wring Brielle’s neck. He clenched his teeth and turned to


    William.

    “This project is truly worth the investment, but Max will dismiss it the moment he sees my name. Maybe


    we can handle this likest time. The building incident is done, and we can’t undo it, but if we triple the


    profits this time, we’ll recover all the losses from that project. What do you think?”


    Brielle also looked at William, curious how he would respond without offending Ryan.

    William smiled, removing the sses perched on his nose, revealing fine lines at the corners of his


    eyes. Despite his impressive upkeep, the signs of his fifty years were inevitable.


    “Brielle has a point. If we go ahead with this, it’ll be tough to exin to Max. Why not have Brielle


    gauge Max’s stance on the matter?”


    Without hesitation, he pushed Brielle, the one with no connections, into


    the line of fire.
