The Woman From Hell

"What's wrong?" I looked at Marius and asked.

Frowning, Marius closed the door of the room that had been open. "Don't you think Don Logan is strange?"

I was stunned for a moment when I heard this but then quickly laughed. "You think he's strange, right? You've been cynical about him ever since you first met him."

He waved his hand, his expression serious. "I'm bringing it up now after putting aside my personal grievances."

"Tell me what about him do you find strange, then?" I sat down, deciding to hear Marius out.

Marius hemmed and hawed for a long time before finally saying to me, "I can't put my finger on it. He's just... He's just weird!"

I smiled lightly and shrugged my shoulders. "Are you alright, Marius? I wanted to hear you out seriously, but I guess that was a waste of sentiment."

Just when I was about to leave, Marius stopped me. "Anyway, he just doesn't look like a good guy."

I crossed my arms and laughed. "Come on, stop speculating about the man. He's helped me quite a lot. We can't be like this."

Seeing how I did not believe him and how he could proffer no real evidence, Marius sighed. "Whatever. I'll be watching him anyway. You'll know when I catch him!" "Alright. I'll hear you out when you have a handle on him. I've matters to attend to now, so I'll be leaving first." I left the place after saying that.

Not long after, Grant Corporation was cut off by many companies one after another as expected, but it did not matter to them.

I managed to get the media to report that our companies were jointly bidding for North Courts' development rights. In fact, all sorts of exaggerations were made. Not long after this information was released, Sylvester asked to meet me and talk.

Although he was the one who asked me out on the surface, Silas was the one who wanted to talk to me in reality. Thus, I readily agreed.

The person who met me first was Sylvester.

"I haven't seen you for a few days and already your means are improving, President Lane."

I could tell he meant something else but pretended to be confused. I shook my head inexplicably. "What do you mean by that, President Yard?" Sylvester's brows knitted together. "Do you think you can defeat us by joining forces? If so, then you're severely underestimating the Yards."

"I wouldn't dare underestimate theNôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

Yard family. After all, you and Old

Master Yard are both ruthless characters. All I can do is try my best to increase my value.

"It seems that you're certain about obtaining the development rights for North Courts."

"Of course."

Sylvester smiled faintly. "Yard Corp is not alone now. We now have Grant Corporation with us. What makes you think you can beat us, President Lane?"

It was obvious that he was trying to figure out my bottom line.

Two could play the same game.

"To be honest, even if you partner up

with Grant Corporation, I still have a certain chance of winning. The alliance of all these companies might not be enough, but I have a trump card. I will draw it when necessary." My eyes were bright and clear. He ought to wonder if I was lying or not.

Sylvester, of course, felt like he was being lied to when I said that. However, there was a change in his expression for a moment before he quickly recovered. "You mean to say you have a backer, President Lane?"

"Yes. It's someone who can

compete with both Grant Corporation and Yard Group." L tapped the table lightly, my tone soft, but there was a great amount of pressure being implied.

Considering Sylvester's character, he would definitely mull this over.

I was confident about dealing with Sylvester.

It was then that Silas appeared...
