Contrary to her expectations, the meeting with Kevin Holloway turned out to be surprisingly easy. The negotiation between them went smoothly, leaving Allison wondering what had transpired.Without any hesitation, Kevin Holloway signed the contract without even asking about the price, despite it being a substantial project worth twenty-seven million dollars.With a mix of awe and disbelief, Allison tightly gripped the signed contract in her hands, her eyes widening as she stared at it. Walking out of the hotel, it felt as though she was living in a surreal dream.Despite the contract being Allison's initial draft, Kevin Holloway had willingly signed it and even affixed Apex Conglomerate's official contract chop, making it fully valid. This meant that they had obtained the approval of the revered Apex Conglomerate and the opportunity to work with the esteemed Lord Nigel Owens.To add to the excitement, Kevin had assured Allison that the 5 million deposit would be transferred to Novatech

James Lance.The mention of James Lance brought back memories for Dylan, making him wonder what James had been doing since his father's death. They all had their own agendas and motivations, but would James simply remain passive without investigating the truth behind his father's demise?"Is this all related to the land? Why would someone kill their own family for possession of a piece of land?" Dylan asked, struggling to comprehend the extent of the situation."It's because she's ruthless, Dylan. You saw it yourself. She would go to any lengths for that land, and she did. After my wife's death, Rose convinced her family to reclaim the land, claiming that I didn't deserve it. They succeeded, and now she has control over it. But the land is not my primary concern, Dylan. I want to know what happened to Jaime. I can't stop thinking about it, about her. I need answers," Leonard explained desperately. "I need help because I noticed that the further I go, I'm walking into dangerous territo

Jonah entered Dale Carter’s office with the contract in hand, his face beaming with excitement. "General Manager Carter, we have successfully secured the Maple Meadow Fair Haven Mansion Project. They even went ahead and signed the contract," Jonah announced enthusiastically, handing the document to Dale Carter."Wow! We actually secured the project!" Dale exclaimed, his eyes filled with excitement. The deal amounted to a staggering 27 million, marking it as the largest in Novatech Electronics' history.Dale scanned the contract, and to his amazement, the price listed matched their initial asking price. It was a remarkable feat, considering that Apex Conglomerate hadn't attempted to negotiate or lower the price, resulting in an additional million in profit.However, considering Dylan’s background, Dale couldn't help but feel that this outcome wasn't surprising at all."Excellent job, the sales department has truly delivered. As a reward, both you and Supervisor Adams will receive an ad

Upon entering the automotive service center, Dylan and Leonard overheard the comments made by the salesgirls. However, Dylan paid no attention to the lack of assistance and proceeded to examine the cars on his own.He had set his sights on purchasing an A6, which would cost a few hundred thousand. It was not overly extravagant, yet it still exuded an air of sophistication.Providing Leonard with a car would greatly enhance the investigation of the ongoing situation. His assistance in uncovering James Lance's activities was crucial, and having a vehicle at his disposal would prove invaluable in the long term.Dylan eventually paused in front of the latest A6 model, catching the attention of a salesgirl who promptly approached. The salesgirl appeared inexperienced, likely indicating that this was her internship at the job."We also have the entry-level A3 available. If you're interested, I can show it to you," the salesgirl suggested. Despite her young appearance, she had correctly surm

"Dylan, you'll deeply regret this!" Mason shouted at Dylan as he observed their departure. He couldn’t believe that the son-of-a-bitch ignored him."Master Griffin, are you alright?" The beautiful woman named Lily approached, offering her assistance."Stay away from me!" Mason snarled coldly, pushing her hand away in anger and exiting the scene."What's gotten into him? Why was he treated like a rag doll? If he's so formidable, he should go and seek his own revenge!" Lily sneered at Mason's retreating figure.The rest of the sales team exchanged disapproving glances, their curiosity piqued by Dylan's enigmatic demeanor. How could he brush off an offer of eight hundred thousand dollars without a second thought? Who was he, really?Allison reached Stephanie's home, her heart heavy with distress. Gossip can be a cruel and hurtful thing, and she was seething with anger at the defamatory remarks made by her colleagues at the company.Even when Dylan returned, having picked up Maya in his

“You know what? Forget it, I feel like I already know your answer. I bet that Manager Holloway gave me the contract deal because of you too, no matter how you deny it, because it doesn't explain how easy it was for me to get it,” Allison said before Dylan could respond.Dylan shrugged, acknowledging her suspicions.“I just don't understand, Dylan. You have such a vast network of contacts. Why do you act like you have nothing to your name? Why do you allow yourself to be stepped upon and pretend otherwise? I know that you have a successful business in Montego, but not everyone knows that. Even my mom doesn't believe it, despite the fact that you drive an expensive car. She's the main issue right now because she's so insistent on finding someone for me,” Allison expressed her frustration, her anger boiling up.“I'm not getting married to your mother, Allison, or to your family. As long as you accept me the way I am, then it's fine,” Dylan shrugged as he spoke.Allison looked at him for a

As soon as Kevin Holloway arrived, Jonah immediately went up to greet him. “Hello, Mr. Holloway. My name is Jonah Blaine, I'm the business director of Novatech Electronics and the person in charge of the deal between Novatech and Apex Conglomerate. It's a pleasure to meet you, Sir.” Jonah introduced himself with a smile and extended his hand for a shake.“Hello.” Kevin Holloway nodded and also stretched out his hand and shook Jonah’s waiting hand.Jonah was overjoyed seeing that the fact that Kevin Holloway accepted his handshake was enough to know that he wouldn't mind the change of the person in charge of the contract deal. Allison only got this deal by luck, after all, so it didn't matter if she was involved or not.With this thought, Jonah became excited.Jonah’s excitement came to a halt as Kevin Holloway's unexpected question echoed, "Where is Supervisor Adams?"Startled by the question, Jonah quickly composed himself and replied with a smile, “Supervisor Adams is currently on si

After concluding her conversation with Jonah, Allison swiftly terminated the call. Although her lingering frustration was apparent, she found solace in the knowledge that the project had been returned to her. It was a relief to regain control, considering the alternative of not getting anything at all.Meanwhile, Jonah huffed coldly at the phone in his hand, feeling slighted by Allison’s abrupt disconnection. “She has become so arrogant that she dares to hang up on me. One day, I’ll make sure she's driven out of the company.”On the other side of town, Sean arrived at the address his father had provided him. It led him to a club called The Rave, which, being early in the day, was not yet bustling with activity.As he entered, Sean's phone began to ring, and he reluctantly checked the caller ID to find it was Hermione. Letting out a groan, he answered the call with little choice. "Why the hell are you disturbing me? I'm busy!" he exclaimed in a hushed tone.Hermione's voice carried fru
