Chapter 159


    Cam snapped fully awake. "n, it’s not what you think!" she eximed urgently, pointing toward


    the door behind her, "I was sleeping in this room. I fell asleep herest night because I was too


    exhausted from sorting out the files."


    "I should head back first, Mr. Connor, n," she said, hurrying towards the front door in small, quick


    steps, nodding at n as she passed by.


    n grunted in acknowledgment.


    "Take care on your way," Connor said with a smile.


    "Mr. Connor... I..." n stood by the door, somewhat bewildered.


    "Come in."


    "The acquisition of the Stevens’ hotel chain is almost finalized. Soon it will cease to exist," n


    reported.


    Cam had been harassed by Steven, and Connor seized the opportunity to reim his shares in


    Future Inc. from Steven''s grasp.


    In addition to Future Inc., Connor also held shares in another investment firm. This was one source


    of his wealth, as well as part of his ns for the future.

    He had taken over Steven’s hotel chain in a swift and decisive move, as a punishment to him.


    n continued, "Additionally, Sherrill family''s supermarket chain announced the closure of several


    national branches."


    Connor nodded, "Alright, I''m up to date."

    After returning to her hotel room, Cam quickly freshened up, changed into her business attire,


    and applied light makeup before heading downstairs to join them for breakfast.


    She ate quietly, careful to avoid Connor and n''s gazes.


    After breakfast, the group made their way to the top-floor meeting room of the shopping center.


    As the door opened, several men dressed in business suits greeted them warmly, and Connor


    stepped forward to shake hands.


    While the interpreter tranted, Cam sat quietly on the side, taking notes.


    "Mr. Benrad has always shown a keen interest in the Future series of concept products, and he


    watched the online live stream of the new productunch," the interpreter ryed. "The products


    showcased left a profound impression on him, and his enthusiastic interest in the new products was


    evident.


    "Mr. Benrad is well aware that coborating on the Future series products will bring substantial


    commercial value to both parties, hence he is filled with anticipation and optimism for this


    coboration. He believes that with joint efforts, this partnership will undoubtedly be a sess."


    Cam listened quietly, understanding most of what Mr. Benrad said, and the conversation flowed


    smoothly.


    However, as the discussion delved into the specifics of the partnership, Cam began to sense


    something was off. Her brow furrowed, her eyes revealing a mix of confusion and caution.


    The negotiation hit an impasse, with neither side willing to budge.


    At that moment, the interpreter conveyed Mr. Benrad''s stance: "Mr. Benrad is very sincere about


    coborating with us. He owns the nation’s top shopping malls, so although his terms are stringent,


    they are fair and reasonable."


    Cam''s frown deepened.


    She sharply sensed a significant discrepancy between the interpreter''s words and Mr. Benrad’s


    actual intentions. Mr. Benrad’s offered terms were even better than what they had initially proposed.


    She quickly sent a message to Connor and subtly tugged at his suit jacket to check his phone.


    Noticing Cam''s unusual behavior, Connor paused the negotiation and politely said to Mr. Benrad,


    "Excuse me, please give me a moment." He then took out his phone.


    Reading the message from Cam—[The trantion is incorrect. Mr. Benrad’s terms are not what


    was tranted.]—Connor looked up at Cam, as if to confirm.


    Cam nodded affirmatively.
