Britney handed over the documents she had brought to Quinten.

"This looks fine," Quinten said after a quick review.

"Both suppliers require us to pay half of the total amount upfront, along with a security deposit, before they begin production. They’re quite firm on this…"

It wasn’t entirely unreasonable. They needed to secure funds early to purchase raw materials, and the security deposit ensured that any last-minute reduction in order quantities wouldn’t disrupt their supply chain.

However, given the scale of this production run, Britney wanted to minimize upfront costs and maintain sufficient cash flow within the company. She had already negotiated with Belholt Factory, a long-time partner, and they had agreed to accept 20% less in upfront payment. But the two new suppliers refused to budge—they were unwilling to make any concessions.

"They’re probably eager to start production, considering our strong sales. That’s why they’re not willing to compromise," Quinten analyzed.

    "Hmm. You should go rest first, I still have work to do!"Conrad patted Stephanie’s hands, which had been massaging his shoulders, signaling her to stop."When will you be done? I’ll wait for you..." Stephanie stopped her movements, but her hands remained on his shoulders."No need. I’ll be working late tonight. You should sleep first…" Conrad said expressionlessly.Looking at the densely packed words on the documents, Stephanie felt a pang of heartache. She didn’t understand business or these documents at all.Seeing him face such dull text every day and handle so many files, she thought he must be exhausted.She wrapped her arms around his neck. "Conrad, thank you. Thank you for not holding my family's issues against me and for even helping Sierra find a job…"She pressed her cheek against his, whispering into his ear. He paused his work."Sierra told you?""Yes, thank you… Conrad…" Feeling his warmth, she was filled with gratitude.She did not regret using her means to capture such

    Inside the spacious private dining room, the starlit lighting twinkled gently as the waitstaff poured red wine into each glass, filling them only a third of the way. The pre-ordered dishes were then brought in and arranged on the table one by one.Each dish was exquisitely plated, showcasing fresh and delicious ingredients. Every selection had been carefully chosen by Karsyn.Alexzander and Glenn sat next to each other. The two clinked their glasses lightly and took small sips."the Castro family’s son is also in the training district. Are you familiar with him?" Alexzander set down his glass and asked casually, as if in passing.This was information he had been trying to obtain through various channels but to no avail. Chiosia had imposed strict secrecy over any news regarding the training district, and the recent election for the deputy governor position had only confirmed his initial concerns.Manuel would be Franklin’s strongest competitor this time."Manuel?" Andreas echoed with

    With graceful movements, Manuel fastened the delicate buttons of his shirt and took a seat across from her, exuding an undeniable air of nobility. He placed her favorite Mandarin duck dumpling on her plate, but his expression remained unchanged upon hearing her words."You seem quite confident," Britney observed, watching his face closely. She picked up a dumpling and took a bite—the combination of three plump shrimp and silky fish roe melted in her mouth, filling her world with warmth.Manuel lifted his gaze slightly, raising an eyebrow. "Just keeping a relaxed mindset. As for the result, I'll do my best."Britney casually tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, her delicate face carrying a subtle, elegant smile.She didn’t believe him. There was no way he was merely "doing his best." Even someone as scheming as Franklin had been forced to act first, using his engagement to Karsyn as a means to attract public attention. That alone proved just how fierce this election was going to be.

    Wayne had a sharp eye for talent. Though Tanya’s appearance was ordinary, her acting skills were top-tier—otherwise, he wouldn’t have chosen her. That’s why he felt it was a pity that Skyler had missed such a great opportunity for advancement.Skyler pushed open the door to the newcomers’ dormitory. Silva was lying on the top bunk reading a script, while Tanya had just finished her makeup, dressed in a stunning long dress, looking cheerful and ready to head out.Seeing Skyler enter, Tanya quickly stepped forward and linked arms with her, just like before. “Skyler, what did Wayne call you for?”Skyler withdrew her arm. “He asked you to go to his office.”“Got it, I’ll go now.” Tanya smiled, adjusting her freshly styled hair in the mirror. After ensuring everything was perfect, she turned to Skyler. “Skyler, I’ll be off then.”“Mm.”Ever since Tanya had asked to swap roles, their friendship had subtly changed—there was a rift between them. Skyler couldn’t quite describe the feeling; it

    Many aspects of the product were modeled after their version—essentially an upgraded variant. It was more advanced than theirs…Since modifications had been made, it couldn't be considered outright theft of their technology.Previously, the stock value of the Schwartz Group had rebounded due to Franklin’s situation. Now, with Blueheart Company—one of its subsidiaries—launching a new product that had gained widespread attention, its stock price soared the moment the market opened.However, this was not the time to dwell on these matters. With Blueheart Company’s launch of a superior product at a lower price, they had almost entirely lost their competitive edge.Just as Britney finished speaking, her phone suddenly rang.She glanced at the caller ID. "You all continue the discussion. I’ll take this call." With that, she turned and walked into her office, shutting the door behind her.—After finishing the product launch conference, Conrad stepped into the backstage lounge, unable to res

    This time, she asked as a daughter.The current situation was not optimistic. As soon as Blueheart Company launched its new product, their sales figures started to decline. Blueheart Company’s product had a slight edge, and their prices were also marginally lower. If they engaged in a price war, they would not only have to refund the price difference to their previous customers but also risk long-term negative consequences.Their only option was to adjust their sales strategy—or consider Hugh’s proposal.Seemingly anticipating his daughter's question, Quinten sighed. "The project Rafael was in charge of—just yesterday, the other party suddenly withdrew their investment, causing us a significant loss. Right now, the company's total liquid assets are less than ten million."Such a coincidence?She didn’t believe it for a second.Britney frowned. If it was a project handled by Rafael, then Maxwell might have been involved as well. Now that both of them were in prison, the only person lef

    “Tonight, I'll be waiting for you!”Seeing these words, Britney’s smile froze on her face...This man, seriously...The little bit of happiness she had felt was completely disrupted by his four clearly suggestive words.His mind was always filled with thoughts tinted with color…—In the afternoon, Britney received the results of Quinten’s discussion with the shareholders. She had already expected that, given the shareholders' previous stance, this matter wouldn’t be too difficult to push forward.“Hugh, go ahead and start negotiations with them. I’ll work on drafting the budget plan first,” Britney said, calling Hugh into her office after receiving confirmation.“You don’t want to look into it first?” Hugh asked, surprised that she was entrusting this task to him so directly.Britney simply curved her lips into a faint smile and countered with another question. “If it wasn’t a good deal, would you still go through with it?”Hugh let out a hearty laugh.

    Skyler had fallen asleep, but her mind remained alert. After all, Raiden had left a psychological scar on her today.As soon as Raiden mentioned being hungry, she couldn't help but complain to herself. He hadn't felt hungry earlier, and now, suddenly, he was.But despite the resentment in her heart, she didn’t dare voice it. After all, he was the young master, and she was just a servant..."Should I heat it up for you?" Since this "ancestor" had called for her, it was clear he wouldn’t do it himself. And it was late, so the other family members had likely already gone to sleep.Sure enough, the young master kicked his feet and said, "Should I do it myself?" If he was going to do it himself, why bother calling her? The real reason was that he couldn’t sleep and, seeing her sleep soundly beside him, a psychological urge stirred within him.If he couldn’t sleep, neither should she. It was a kind of unhealthy mentality.He wanted to wake her up

    Skyler finally had the chance to observe the entire room. The decor was simple yet refined.A large sky-blue bed, a desk with a desktop LCD computer, and some model decorations—all expensive just at a glance. It matched his unruly personality well. However, it was clear he didn’t come home often; everything here still looked brand new."Where are you sleeping? Why are you asking me?"Since his father let her move in, he must have arranged a place for her."Do you have an extra blanket? I’ll sleep on the floor."The bed was big enough for two people, and she had slept with him before—otherwise, how would she have gotten pregnant? But at this moment, she didn’t dare sleep with him. She hadn’t forgotten the way he had looked downstairs, as if he wanted to devour her alive.She didn’t dare provoke him again, afraid that if she shared a bed with him, she might not even know how she died.She knew t

    "Do you think you've found yourself a backer now? Is that why you feel so important?"Raiden’s tone was full of sarcasm.He looked exactly like a little kid afraid of losing his father's love.It’s often said that women mature faster than men, and Skyler was one of those women. She could see exactly what Raiden was upset about, and a smile tugged at her lips."No, Mr.Calderon! My biggest backer is you," Skyler admitted her mistake.Like hell he’d believe that! The innocence she had before was completely gone now.Raiden let out a cold snort and sneered, "Skyler, I didn't expect your appetite to be this big. First, you took my house, and now, in the blink of an eye, you've managed to squeeze a fortune out of my dad. Did your brain suddenly become enlightened? You’re making money at an impressive speed!""Mr.Calderon, I did go back on my word in this matter. I’m sorry! Here’s the key to the house you

    Every parent, when talking about their child, always wears the kindest smile. Frankie was no exception. And when he thought about the fact that he would soon become a grandfather, his mood improved even more.Feeling good, he couldn’t help but chat a little more with Skyler.As Frankie flipped through old photos of Raiden’s childhood and talked about his younger days, Skyler truly saw how adorable he had been as a child.Uncle Calderon wasn’t lying—Mr.Calderon had been handsome since he was little.Big eyes, double eyelids, a high nose bridge, rosy lips, pearly white teeth, and fair skin—all combined with that charmingly arrogant expression…Skyler subconsciously placed her hand on her belly, wondering if the baby inside would be just as good-looking. If it were a girl and took after Mr.Calderon, she certainly wouldn’t be unattractive."Master, dinner is ready!" a servant came forward and announced.

    "She should take a good look at herself! She doesn't want to marry me?" Raiden shouted.Who did she think she was? And who was he? Since when did a woman have the right to reject him?Since he was old enough to understand things, he had been surrounded by countless women, all vying for his attention. Which woman didn't want to marry him?Raiden sneered internally. This woman was definitely playing hard to get in front of his father, trying to win his favor so that he would pressure him into marrying her.I didn't see this coming.Skyler, so you dare play tricks on me!Skyler shivered slightly under Raiden’s sharp gaze. Was it a crime now to not want to marry him?Frankie stepped forward and kicked his own son. "And you should take a good look at yourself!"That kick wasn’t light. Raiden gasped in pain and quickly pulled his leg back to clutch it.Damn it!He was almost thirty, yet his old man still kicked him with

    When Raiden walked in, he actually found that woman in his house!Without a word, he rushed up to her, grabbed her wrist, and started dragging her outside with large strides."Mr.Calderon, what are you doing?" Caught off guard by his strength, Skyler’s wrist throbbed in pain as she frowned and couldn't help but cry out."Don't ask, just come with me!"As soon as Raiden received a call from the person he had arranged to take Skyler to the hospital, he rushed back immediately.He had sent her to get an abortion, and she was already on the operating table—yet somehow, the old trickster in his family had intercepted her! Just thinking about how the plan was almost completed but was suddenly interrupted made him incredibly frustrated.How could he not know what that old fox was scheming?For the past few years, every time he returned home, the old man would pester him about marriage. Eventually, he got so fed up that he outrigh

    Frankie was setting up Skyler, but unfortunately, she was too young and inexperienced to realize it. She had never encountered such schemes before, let alone faced an old fox like Frankie.At first, Skyler had no idea who had decided against her abortion. It wasn’t until she had spoken with Frankie for a while that she finally understood—it was the old master himself who wanted to keep his grandchild.She had already promised Raiden that she would terminate the pregnancy, and she had struggled internally for a long time. But in the end, her heart leaned toward keeping the child.“However, I have three conditions.”“Go ahead, go ahead…” Frankie was so delighted that she had agreed that he would have accepted a hundred conditions if necessary.“First, after the child is born, I want to be able to visit them whenever I wish. But you can rest assured—I will only be visiting the child and will have

    Raiden’s Father...Hearing Frankie's words, Skyler couldn't help but look up. He wasn’t like what she had imagined. The middle-aged man in front of her was well-maintained, looking energetic and full of vitality. His smile was warm and friendly. There were indeed some resemblances between him and Raiden—he must have been quite a charming man in his younger years.Seeing her subtly relax, Frankie chuckled, “What do you think? Not quite what you imagined, right?”Having her thoughts seen through so easily, Skyler blushed, feeling slightly embarrassed. “It’s a bit different from what I expected,” she admitted.“Sit down and talk. I’m not used to looking up at people while speaking.” Frankie deliberately said this, knowing that otherwise, she wouldn’t sit down.Just as he had anticipated, Skyler realized that standing while talking to someone like this was somewhat impolite. Beside

    Skyler looked at the cold, sterile operating table, her steps heavy as she walked over and lay down with the nurse’s help. Staring at her still-flat stomach, she silently whispered to the tiny life inside her, "Baby, I'm sorry."He had been so well-behaved. She had heard that during the first three months of pregnancy, morning sickness was common, sometimes severe enough to make one feel like the world was spinning. Yet, she hadn’t experienced any of that—she felt just like a normal person. She knew her baby must be a very obedient child.Unfortunately, she had no ability to keep him. If she forced his birth, he would only suffer alongside her.So, I’m sorry. It’s because I’m not brave enough…She had never intended to keep this child, but that didn’t mean she had no feelings for him. He was, after all, her own flesh and blood."Miss Oneal, we’re going to administer the anesthesia now. Try to r
