"Ruthless? You've got snerve callingthat. Remember when you snatched all the advertisers away from my S Corporation, Mr. Cui? You didn't show any mercy back then." The air between the two women was thick with tension, making all the older men in the room too scared to even breathe loudly.
Sophie leaned in close to Elodie's ear, whispering, "Mr. Cui, if I'm not mistaken, you signed a high-stakes deal with Central Bank. They pumped two billion into Reeves International, which skyrocketed Reeves Entertainment in Devonport. But if your company doesn't rake in four billion within three years, you're sunk. And if you lose, you know the consequences. You'd have to pay back that two billion, and if you can't, everything you mortgaged to Central Bank, including Reeves International, will be theirs." Sophie speculated that Elodie's rush to cut ties with Reeves International and secure Burke International was a move to save the queen by sacrificing the pawn.

Make that woman hand over the share transfer agreement and then show her out. Burke International doesn't welcher!" Bea said, glaring at Sophie with disdain.
Unfazed, Sophie stepped back from Elodie, "Mr. Cui, like I said, if you want the agreement, have James talk to me. Such a simple request shouldn't be too hard, right?" Elodie's face hardened as she pulled out her phone, saying, "I'll call Mr. Burke." "Elodie!" "Bea, it's just about having Mr. Burke personally persuade Ms. So Burke With Ms. Sophie's wedding coming up, she shouldn't be too preoccupied with other matters." Elodie couldn't afford to lose any shares in Burke International, so she called James, asking him to cto Burke International. After a brief conversation, she hung up. "Ms. Sophie, this way, please."
