Backstage, Tristan watched everything going well and smiled with satisfaction.
Two years of guidance wasn''t in vain. Sadie inherently possessed the excellent genes of the James family. With the right approach, she could learn almost anything in one go. In just two years, she had transformed into a different person!
Now adept in both talking and fighting, she could handle any situation in any setting with excellence. Tristan believed that in the future, she could also assist him in managing the James Group and be his most capable aide. "Now, please wee Ms. James and Mr. Louis to unveil the curtain together!" said the herald.
It was the most crucial step.
Sadie and Joe stood up and walked to the front of the stage, ready to ce their hands on an ocean globe, waiting for the aurora to shine on the screen so that they could initiate the unveiling ceremony.
Joe had already ced his hand, and Sadie was about to reach out when a loud voice suddenly interrupted, "Please hold on!"
Sadie paused and turned her head to see a group of prosecutors striding over with documents, who showed an air of righteousness. "Who is in charge of the Sapphire Depths project?" one of them asked. "Me." Sadie retracted her hand and walked over slowly. "What''s the matter?"
"This is my identification." The lead prosecutor presented his credentials and then an official document. "The Sapphire Depths project has severely impacted the marine ecological environment. It is now officially halted, as per this document!" This abrupt statement instantly provoked amotion at the venue.
Sadie was dumbfounded. She immediately took the document to examine it carefully. Her face gradually darkened.
"How could this happen?" Joe was greatly shocked. The James Group had put in a lot of effort to secure the Sapphire Depths marine area. They had spent five billion dors acquiring it. The project''sunch would probably cost them hundreds of billions more. But it was temporarily halted at this critical moment!
This not only meant that the James Group would lose billions of dors, but it would also affect all their uing business ns.
After all, encountering such a challenge at the beginning meant that no one would dare to coborate with the James Group!
"I want to see your superiors." Despite the uneasiness and flurry, Sadie remainedposed on the surface. "This project has been through all the necessary procedures. You never mentioned halting it before, and now you suddenly want to call it off!"
"I am not clear on the specifics. I am just here to execute," the prosecutor said courteously, "If you have any questions, you canin to the higher authorities. Here is the contact information." With that, the prosecutor and his team turned and left.
Burning with anger, Sadie was now surrounded by shing cameras and faced with excited reporters'' questions.
"Ms. James, with the Sapphire Depths project halted, do you have anything to say?"
"Ms. James, how much loss will this incident bring to the James Group? Can it be 20 billion dors?"
"Ms. James, could this be the work of a rivalpany?"
"Ms. James, what are your ns?"
"End of the press conference today. Thank you, everyone." The herald andpany executives quickly stepped in to maintain order, while Annika and other bodyguards escorted Sadie backstage. Joe and his team followed closely, with reporters interviewing him, "Mr. Louis, will this incident affect your rtionship with the James Group?"
"No!" Joe replied hastily and caught up with Sadie, "Sadie, don''t worry. I''ll figure something out. I will definitely..."
In the back hall, Tristan threw a royal fit and kicked over a coffee table.
The ss table, along with the champagne and tall sses prepared for the celebration, was broken in an instant. The floor was littered with ss shards and champagne. Joe was visibly startled, instinctively taking a step back.
The other attendants dared not speak.
"Tristan, I''m sorry. It was due to my negligence." Sadie lowered her head in guilt.
"Micah!" Tristan''s eyes narrowed coldly as he gritted his teeth. "I really underestimated you!"
