The meeting was scheduled at a private club.
When Loraine arrived, she found Marco and Davy already seated across from each other, their expressions stern.
Marco rose to his feet and pulled out a chair for Loraine, gesturing for her to sit beside him.
Without hesitation, Loraine quickly took the seat and addressed the two men.
“What's going on? What's this about the news online?”
Davy scratched his nose and gave a wry smile.
“Well... The online news isn’t far from the truth, to be honest.”

Loraine frowned at his response, and Davy sighed, proceeding to share the full story.
“A good number of the major shareholders in the Cheap and Fine Group are indeed unhappy with my decision to
open a branch in Vagow. But due to my position, they've been biting their tongues. However, after | arrived in
Vagow, they started scheming behind the scenes.”
Davy was unfazed by their underhanded tactics. However, a peculiar incident occurred a few days ago.
“Something odd happened recently. A partner suddenly did an about-face.
He declined to sign the contract, stating that he didn’t understand why

| chose to partner with the Universe Group, and needed to reassess our collaboration. This gave the dissenting
shareholders an opportunity to forceto reconsider my decision.”
Loraine paused for a moment, and then asked, “Why did he change his mind so abruptly? Who is this partner?”
Given the international standing of the Cheap and Fine Group, no one would willingly cross them.
Moreover, the timing of this partner's change of heart seemed too convenient to be a mere coincidence.
Davy seemed to have expected the question. He shook his head and sighed.
“It’s the Telan Technology Company. They have a new president who was appointed not too Long ago. His name
is Onyx Webster.”

Loraine contemplated having someone investigate Onyx. After all, financial interests often held the greatest
sway. The key figure in this might well be Onyx.
She attempted to reassure Davy, “I understand your apprehensions and concerns, Davy. | promise you that the
success of this project will prove those dissenting shareholders wrong. You won't regret choosing the Universe
Group and the Bryant Group. The final product, a smart city project and the digital technology blueprint in
Vagow, will be testament to that!”
Davy’s expression shifted slightly, but he didn’t respond.
In truth, the CBD project in Vagow was still in its nascent stages.
Nobody could guarantee its future. Despite the appeal of Loraine’s words, they painted nothing more than a
potential scenario.
