Chapter 525


    Elijah, Joey, and Brandon had been hanging around since the morning, doing some digging at the


    Dennis Group. Supposedly ''research'', but really, they were just here for a free lunch.

    "Alexa knows her marketing game." Brandon said, scrolling through news on his phone, "But she''s met


    her match in us."


    "Their sales are solid though." Joey countered, "There''s plenty of potential in the lower markets."


    "Well, it''s cheap, isn''t it? But they''re winning poprity by losing money. The more they sell, the more


    they lose. Their n was to take over the market quickly, knock out the Dennis Group, then monopolize


    and jack up the prices." Brandon exined, "But they''ve realized the Dennis Group isn''t easy to knock


    out. They''ve started looking for other methods."


    "Cutting costs? Or painting rosy pictures for investors after gaining control of lower markets, then going


    for an IPO?" Joey took over the conversation.


    "Could be both. There''re a bunch of investors who are still bullish on them." Brandon grinned, "Alexa


    sure has a business brain."


    Violette, meanwhile, was ordering food while keeping an ear on their conversation.


    Noticing her distraction, Elijah whispered in her ear, "Don''t worry about Alex. She can''t touch you."


    Blushing slightly, she replied, "It''s not her I''m worried about. I''m just deciding whether to get orange


    juice or watermelon juice."


    "Why not both?" Elijah asked.


    "Alright." Violette said. After cing her order, she handed him the menu.


    "Violette, you''re over three months pregnant now. How are you feeling?" Brandon shifted the


    conversation towards her.


    "Just asional nausea, nothing special." Violette said. This pregnancy was much easier than her first


    one.


    "That''s good. You only have a daytime nanny at home now, right?" Brandon continued, "Shouldn''t you


    consider hiring a live-in nanny once your belly get bigger? After all, Mike is a guy. He can''t help you out


    if anything happens."


    Elijah cast a nce at Violette. She kept her cool, saying, "It''s still early. We''ll see when the time


    "Ha-ha, I don''t know why, but I''m so nervous about your pregnancy. It feels as if the baby is in my


    belly." Brandon teased.


    "Brandon, you''re going to scare Mr. Elijah. He doesn''t want to have a baby with you!" Joey joked, and


    everyone burst intoughter.


    As the atmosphere lightened, Violette threw out a question, "What do you guys fear most? Being broke


    or being betrayed?"


    "Betrayal!" Mike was the first to answer.


    Joey nodded in agreement.


    "I could handle being dumped, but not betrayal." Brandon answered.


    Violette didn''t look at Elijah. She knew his answer would be the same. She had wanted to find a chance


    to tell him about Sarah''s betrayal, but now she hesitated. How could someone as proud and arrogant


    as him handle such a blow?


    Wednesday.


    Violette finally got in touch with Sarah, who just returned from her vacation. They agreed to meet up at


    a restaurant.


    Sarah looked upset, shooting sideways nces at Violette. "Are you here to show off?" Sarah began


    talking.


    Sarah covered her face with her hand; her eyes were as wide as saucers!


    How did Violette know? Who told her?


    "Elijah, he..." Sarah stammered, unable to finish her sentence. Updated at Draмаnоvеls.cоm


    Sarah looked pale and slumped into her chair!


    She hadn''t ordered anything, so why was there a package? She had no idea who it could be from or


    what could be inside.
