Chapter 643 Chapter 643 Mr.


    Brunner , firste , first served .


    Stevens Corporation approached you first , and we already had an agreement .


    How can you go back on your word ? Christina tried to stay calm , though her anger simmered just beneath the surface .


    Aspens expression hardened as she spoke coldly .


    Mr.


    Brunner , doing business is about trust .


    Stevens Corporation partnering with you is a win win deal , but Rhodes Corporations Pharmaceutical Division is on itsst legs .


    I heard their forms were leaked , and the Weller family is squeezing them out .


    Theres no profit there anymore .


    Are you really going to abandon us for them ? Please reconsider ! Stephen sneered .


    A bad move ? Aspen , Ive been through hell and back in the real world while you little girl ying in the dirt .


    You think you can teach me whats right and wrong ? were still He continued , Yes , your pharmaceutical project is impressive , but youve misunderstood something crucial .


    No matter how good your project is , can itpete with the influence of Mr.


    Lloyd , the king of Jayrodales underworld ? Stephen leaned in slightly , his gaze sharp .


    Let me be blunt if Mr.


    Lloyd asked me to produce a pile of worthless crap , itd still be a once in a lifetime opportunity for me .


    Making Mr.


    Lloyd happy means everything .


    You really think I care about a bit of profit when I have a chance to secure a rtionship like this ? He let out a mockingugh , exhaling azy smoke ring as he leaned back in his chair .


    You see , for me , isnt about chasing money .


    Its about building the right rtionships connections that can make me untouchable .


    business Aspen and Christinas faces darkened with fury and frustration .


    They could not believe Stephen had be so devoted to Andrew .


    It was like he saw Andrew as a father figure despite just getting beaten half to death by him moments ago .


    How could someone change their mindset so drastically and so fast ? Christina gritted her teeth .


    Mr.


    Brunner , I know Andrew well .


    Dont be fooled by his current sess .


    Hes not someone capable of aplishing great things hes tooid back and weak willed .


    Aspen chimed in , You might not know this , but Andrews backed by Marvin , the wealthiest man in Jayrodale .


    Marvin is cunning and ruthless .


    For all you know , Andrew might just be a pawn in his game .


    Dn and Natasha dont really answer to Andrew they serve Marvin .


    Stephen chuckled darkly .


    Does that matter ? Let me ask you both who holds the most power among the officials in Jayrodale ? Christina frowned .


    Obviously , its Mr.


    Thatcher .


    Wrong , Completely wrong , Stephen said with a scoff .


    The real power lies with the mayors secretary the person who handles everything behind the scenes .


    By the same logic , even if Andrew is Marvins pawn , hes still someone worth currying favor with .


    I havent done anything wrong .


    Im just doing what anyone in my position would do .


    He paused , narrowing his eyes as he continued slowly .


    And by the way , itd be wise not to spread rumors about Mr.


    Lloyd being a puppet .


    Ive met plenty of powerful figures in my time , but Mr.


    Llojd is different .


    He added , His presence is subtle yet oppressive .


    He doesnt unt his power , but its there calm and unshakable , like a mountain standing tall in a storm .


    Thats not something you can fake .


    Christina let out a bitterugh .


    Mr.


    Brunner , youve barely known Andrew , but I was his ex .


    I know him better 1/2 Chapter 643 than you ever will .


    Trust me when I say , youre being deceived by appearances , Stephen nced at her coldly .


    And thats exactly why you , Ms.


    Christina , are stuck running a small corporation .


    You dont have what it takes to rise higher .
