RiverCity, RF Group.
After wrapping up an urgent meeting, Bryant stepped out of the boardroom.
Kevin hurried to catch up, reporting, "That black sheep from the Ford Group just called to confirm our partnership with SZ Technology." "Uh-huh." Bryant didn't seem too concerned, striding towards his office.
It was just another chapter in the Ford family's ongoing saga of internal strife.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe question was whether Gregory Ford could effectively crush his opposition this time.
Kevin, puzzled, asked, "Why are we partnering with SZ Technology now, of all times?" On a professional level, RF Group definitely needed SZ Technology's patented tech, but it wasn't necessary to partner up right now.
On a personal level, Mrs. Ferguson had eloped with Gregory, so why would Bryant want to throw a lifeline to his rival? Bryant, with his distinctively firm grip, adjusted his tie and sat down, glancing up at Kevin, "Do you really think not partnering with him would make his fight any harder?" Palmer, ambitious yet lacking in scope and capability, only resorts to shady tactics.
The Ford Group was destined to be Gregory's, sooner or later.
Kevin, still confused, asked, "But with RF Group's support, he'll have an easier time. Why... would you want to help him?" "I'm not helping him." Bryant, massaging his aching stomach, looked out at the neon lights through the floor-to-ceiling window, his voice deep, "I'm just settling a debt." A debt owed to her.
If Gregory taking over the Ford Group could make her life a bit smoother, a bit happier, then it was worth it.
Bryant chuckled, "Moreover, getting early access to SZ Technology's patents can only benefit our projects. It's all gain and no loss." Lucius waited in the car, seeing Gregory emerge from the Ford Residence. He signaled his men to withdraw and stepped out of the vehicle. This time, Gregory was almost certain of victory.
But he wasn't willing to bet on the slim chance of failure, not even one in ten thousand.
He had promised Jane Webster he wouldn't let anything happen.
So, he made sure to cfully prepared.

Opening the car door for Gregory, Lucius they idn't ask any questions until 1318 Werove off, "Mr. Ford, everything went smoothly?" Gregory smiled. "What do you think?" Lucius sighed in relief, "If you ask me, we should've just handed the evidence over to the cops." "Jail would've been too easy for him." Gregory's eyes were cold, a thin smile on his lips. "Only if he's free can we dictate his fate." "That's true!" Energized by the thought, Lucius I've plenty of ways to wish he was dead." Contena him Belongs "Alright." Gregory agreed easily, at him through the view "Just one thing, don't kill him."
Jane was kind-hearted, and unless absolutely necessary, he wanted to avoid bloodshed. Lucius, "I know, what's the fun in a dead man?" "Right." Gregory gave a noncommittal response, checking the tand saying, "Speed it up." It was nearly 8 PM. If he didn't get hsoon, Jane would start to worry.
Just then, a message popped up on his phone, bringing a swift smile to his face.
Mrs. Ford: [Gregory, I'm almost home, how about you?] As I waited at the last traffic light before home, I sent Gregory the message.
The light turned green, and I pressed the gas pedal, steering the car into our residential complex's underground parking.
Just as I got out, a young but somewhat greasy-looking man m blocked my path. "Mrs. Ferguson, right? I'm Alaric."
