“Mr. Webster, our discussions had been progressing quite well. What made you rethink your stance? Have we
fallen short in any aspect?” Davy ventured to probe the cause.
onyx, a glint in his eyes and a smug grin on his face, responded,
“Davy, we both know that in our line of business, profitability takes precedence. Nothing is set in stone.
Naturally, | would choose to work with the highest bidder.”
Davy got the hint that Onyx was angling for a more lucrative proposal.

Most likely, Onyx was aware of Davy’s predicament and hoped to exploit the internal friction within Cheap and
Fine Group to maximize his gains.
As Davy caught sight of Onyx’s smug expression, his fury ignited. Did they actually think he was a pushover?
There was no way he would jeopardize his company’s interests by kowtowing to such manipulative individuals!
Rising to his feet, Davy retorted icily, “Mr. Webster, it is important to know when to stop reaping your benefits.
Going too far in your greed can lead to peril.”
Onyx'’s smile vanished, replaced by a sardonic expression as he Lounged back in his chair.
“Mr. Jones, seems like trouble’s your closest companion. Despite years of experience, you've made some
questionable choices. Collaborating with a naive girl and setting up a branch in Vagow is no wiser. It will be quite
a spectacle to watch you handle the board of directors!”
Onyx was obviously taking a jab at Loraine. Davy’s brow furrowed as he pondered what might have led to
Loraine earning Onyx’s disdain.
Simultaneously, he was gripped with concern for Loraine.
It was evident that Onyx was not open to negotiation. Unwilling to squander more time, Davy, with a gloomy
expression, made his exit from the office.

With its minimalistic design and the Solar Company logo in bold, the advertisement was a sight to behold.
The Solar Company, a major player in high-tech and smart production, had recently skyrocketed to fwith its
impressive pace and strength.
It was Leagues ahead of the Cheap and Fine Group.
Historically, Davy would never compromise his dignity by pleading for assistance.
But now...
Davy remembered Marco's words and found himself caught in indecision.
Perhaps it wouldn't be such a disastrous move to give it a shot?
