Chapter 0464 A "Miss Duncan!" ik As Lucian returned to the office of the research institute, he recounted the recent events to Hazel. His face was filled with mockery as he spoke, "Alexander and Amber dared to be arrogant in front of the Duncan family! "I've already kicked them out. It won't be long before they cbegging at our door, pleading for us to sell them the data!" Hazel held a tall glass, the amber liquid inside gently swaying. Her eyes were slightly narrowed, and her bright red lips formed a playful smirk.
Alexander and Amber were being
audacious? Alright, then. | The information and files held by the | research institute originally required only a 40 percent share from the New Chesire Group. After the recent 'incident', the shares would have to be raised to at least 50 percent. That was the price they would have to pay! Just as Hazel reveled in her triumph, the delicate phone on the nearby desk suddenly vibrated slightly. It was an incoming call.
"Miss Duncan, it's the family head!" Lucian took a step forward, looking at the incoming call display on the screen. His heart suddenly shook, and he quickly handed the phone to Hazel.
This was Hazel's father, Flynn Duncan, the current head of the Duncan family.

"This is a tremendous opportunity! When Alexander and Amber cknocking again, we can demand a lion's share and secure fifty percent of the New Chesire Group! By then, the Duncan family will undoubtedly soar to new heights, possibly even becoming a

With the sheer size of the New Chesire Group, a 50 percent share was nothing to scoff at. If the Duncan family could secure these shares, it would no doubt propel them to new heights, swiftly elevating their status.
In her mind, she could even envision Flynn on the other end of the phone, his face undoubtedly beaming with ecstatic joy.
However, reality unfolded quite differently.
"B*stard!" At this moment, in the living room of the Duncan family
estate in the northern region, Flynn clutched his phone, his usually composed demeanor now replaced by an unprecedented rage. ""Do you have any idea who just called me? "The heir of the Duncan family in Walganus Capital, the future heir to the Duncan Clan, Fitch Duncan!" Hazel's mind buzzed, and her heavily made-up face betrayed an undisguisable shock.
Fitch Duncan? He was the legitimate successor of the entire Duncan family, the designated heir chosen by the head of the clan, embodying the will of the Duncan Clan.
Such a lofty figure would never concern himself with the northern branch of the Duncan family. Why would he call his father and elicit such
fury? Could it be...
"I'don't care about your plans. Cease them immediately!" Flynn, sensing Hazel's astonishment, gritted his teeth tightly.

"If this matter isn't handled properly, bear the consequences yourself. The northern Duncan family will have nothing to do with you!" With a resounding 'click’, the call was abruptly terminated.
'Bear the consequences.' 'Have nothing to do with you..."
Listening to the phone's fading dial tone, Hazel swayed involuntarily, the tall glass in her hand slippingand shattering on the floor.
She was utterly bewildered.
When she first heard 'Fitch Duncan’, there lingered a faint hope in her heart, even a silent expectation that this incident might gain favor from the Duncan Clan.
It finally becclear. The 50 percent ownership, the audacious proposal— she had been daydreaming.
The Chesire Group, Alexander Kane, Amber Chesire...
They were absolutely untouchable!
