FreeNovelIt was understandable for two rival companies, especially fierce competitors like us, to be cautious. So, I approached the topic differently.
"You don't have to givethe details. I'm just using it as an example. You shouldn't be concerned if you're in charge of these projects, have signed contracts, and have the power to negotiate and oversee construction. Stand tall, use it as leverage, and negotiate with her." As I continued eating, I offered Matthew advice and suggestions.
Matthew finally disclosed a few unfavorable aspects, and I pondered, providing him with guidance and a well-thought-out plan. Matthew's face lit up, smiling and feeling somewhat triumphant.
I glanced disdainfully at him, set down my utensils, and reached for a few napkins to dab at the corners of my mouth.

Everything might seem simple, but executing it wasn't easy. After all, there were several major projects, and Liora had put in a lot of effort.
However, I was confident that when the critical moment arrived, Atticus would lendsupport.
"But what if they don't cooperate? After all, there's a faction that is aligned with Liora." Matthew seemed uncertain.
"In that case, keep in touch with me. If you run into any problems, letknow, and I will figure out how to help." I successfully sold this favor to Matthew.
"But what if... I mean, what if they still resist?" Matthew asked urgently, his gaze intense.
I felt a bit drowsy due to fatigue.
"Then take it to court," I replied impatiently. "All the contracts are signed under Ardora. There's no fear of losing. Honestly, I don't think it'll cto that. After all, Liora doesn't want to sever ties completely. She just wants the company." "True. Without Ardora, she won't have any substantial projects." Matthew gritted his teeth.
"But she has already revealed her true colors to you. You shouldn't be embarrassed anymore. It's not like you want to hand over your company willingly, right?" I needled Matthew.
"Of course not!" Matthew looked defensive. Having lost Tanum in the past, he wouldn't let Ardora suffer the sfate. I had absolute confidence in this.

I was quite a good person.
"Spill it." Matthew's attitude had improved noticeably.
"Even when you've regained control, you should consider your next steps. Consider how Atticus kicked the Thompsan family out of the Echelon Group It's because Liora's ambitions are too big. You better kick her out when the tis right." e I was straightforward, and there was no beating around the bush. Matthew understood this perfectly. He must have misunderstood thinking I had shidden agenda regarding him. He was now looking atso adoringly that I wanted to hit him.
"As for leaving behind a bad reputation, it doesn't matter. Just don't go losing your things again." After saying this, I was full and satisfied. My stomach churned, and fatigue overcme. My eyes were practically fighting each other struggling to stay open. I had no energy left. "Alright, I've said what I needed to say. You must have a pig's brain if you still don't understand. But my head is getting muddled now, and I need to go." I forced myself to stay alert, glancing at him.
He suggested, "Why not just sleep here? I won't disturb you. I'll be here working on the plan. When you wake up, you can helprefine it. I promise I won't bother you." Seeing his earnest expression, I scoffed. "I don't feel safe here. I've made myself clear. Figure the rest out on your own." I stood up, picked up my bag, and declared, "I'm leaving." Matthew hurriedly followed me, suggesting, "Are you sure you're okay? Can you drive like this? Letgive you a ride back." Just as I reached for the doorknob, it suddenly swung open, almost hitting me. Startled, I looked up to find Melanie standing at the entrance. I felt a surge of irritation.
Before I could say anything, Melanie exclaimed, "Chloe!" A sudden headache hit me. I quickly bypassed Melanie, walking briskly toward the exit. But, of course, how could this woman letgo so easily?
