Chapter 461 Sophie's cunning plan had worked wonders, and a light smile appeared on Gordon's face as he said, “If Ricardo knew how you've played him, turning all his invested funds into thin air, he wouldn't let you off easily" "It's just a few billion, after all. The CEO of the Cloude Corporation should hardly hold a grudge over that, right?"

Gordon mentioned, "Those trainees costquite a bit." "Is a few billion not enough to cover your training expenses?" Sophie sat in front of Gordon, replying, "I promise you. Once these trainees make their debut at S Corporation, I will provide Aldridge Global with the compensation it deserves." "Tm a businessman. Im only interested in the numbers, Gordon extended a hand, saying, "I want this number." "One billion?" "Within two years, ten billion." Ten billion? Sophie frowned. "Mr. Gordon, you're really asking for the moon.
Although trainee projects were making money, ten billion was no small sum. Toten billion in profit, they would have to create the hottest group in the frontline.
"I believe you can achieve it, especially since you've taken away the trainees Aldridge Global had meticulously selected." Alright, I agree. Ten billion it is." Sophie also extended her hand, and they sealed the deal with a high five. Meanwhile, Ricardo was in his villa, reading the documents brought by his secretary, his eyes filled with a cold intensity. "You're saying the trainee project has been destroyed?" "Yes... We received news from Aldridge Global, claiming that all the trainees have defected due to complications in the program! Apparently, Julian led the charge, and Aldridge Global had to pay a hefty penalty to the production team. Most crucially, James withdrew his investment yesterday! Now, our investment is probably... Remembering the words Sophie had boldly said to him that day, Ricardo's eyes narrowed dangerously. "Sophie..." "Sophie? How could it be Sophie? Russell Enterprise went bankrupt a long tago." The secretary was puzzled.

The secretary suggested, "Mr. Ricardo, could it be Julian? Is he trying to go against you?" "Julian? When that woman took him away, they didn't have a penny to their name. He couldn't even afford his own penalty fee, so could he convince everyone to follow him?" "Of course... I didn't consider that! how "Sophie is not as simple as we imagined. Stan investigating all her connections immediately. I want to know who she's been in contact with! Aside from Colby and James, who else is supporting her?" He had been monitoring Colby's every move, and Colby hadn't made any significant moves lately, so the trainee project's issue probably wasn't related to him.
