“Now | get it. Rowan has quite a few tricks. Nepotism, huh?”
Loraine shot him an icy stare.
“Everyone has seen Rowan’s work. He deserves the position. Are you throwing mud at him?”
She wanted to defend Rowan, so she mentioned all of the dangerous work he put himself through in the past few
years.
“He was only taken from the front Line because he was seriously injured on the mission. He earned his military
merit with his sacrifice. In the past few years, you only sat in your office, enjoying the air conditioner. How dare
you slander him?”
All the members of the Cheetah Command knew that Rowan had made great contributions to the army. Ashton

Ashton’s face burned with fury. He wished that Rowan had died during the mission. He never wanted to see

the project. Isn’t there something fishy about all of this?”
Klein was taken aback. He was well aware that, aside from Bryant Group and Universe Group, there were hardly
