Chapter 1256:
âCome in! Youâve really given me a pleasant surprise today.â She studied Allison with newfound appreciation. âEveryone dealing with Geltay knows that he isnât someone who gives compliments lightly, but he just spent five minutes on the phone singing your praises!â
Lizzie shook her head in admiration. âMs. Clarke, youâre truly remarkable. He even mentioned that if the opportunity arises, I should continue working with you.â
Allison smiled modestly and handed the document to her. âThis wasnât just my doing, Ms. Bellinger. You set everything up perfectly â I just had to push it over the finish line.â
Lizzie looked at the signed document and smiled with satisfaction. âWell done!â
She was truly impressed with Allison. So, she called Fabian right away.
âYouâve really found yourself an incredible partner. Weâve decided to go forward with Arame Tower, Mr. Morgan. I look forward to a successful collaboration.â
Fabian was momentarily taken aback. Though he wasnât sure what had transpired, hearing Lizzieâs praise for Allison and Kellan made him smile. He thought back to Allisonâs bold, self-assured demeanor. In her, he saw a reflection of his younger self. They were both confident, fearless, and relentless. But now, it was the younger generationâs time to shine.
âTheyâre highly capable,â he said with certainty. âMiss Bellinger, if you ever need reliable partners in Ontdale, theyâd be an excellent choice.â His words echoed what Geltay had said just moments earlier.
Lizzie couldnât help but chuckle. âThatâs exactly what Geltay told me on the phone. Seems like these two have really left an impression.â
After hanging up, she turned to Allison, exchanging contact information. âThe Diamond Feather order is yours now. I trust you wonât let me down.â
Allison nodded, her expression steady. âYou have my word. Iâll give it my all.â

Before long, she and Kellan returned to Dibya Group. Fabian was very pleased with their progress. He retrieved a contract he had already prepared.
âFor this order, weâre offering you two sixty percent of the profits. I hope this marks the start of a long and fruitful partnership.â
Relief flooded Allisonâs chest. Finally, they had cleared this hurdle. But just as she was about to inquire about Arame Tower, the office phone rangâsharp and insistent.
His brows knitted together as he picked up. âWhatâs going on?â
On the other end, his secretary, Allan, sounded frazzled. âMr. Morgan, we canât stop them. The governmentâs fire department and drug enforcement unit have stormed Aröme Tower with a search warrant.â
Fabianâs expression darkened. âWhat reason did they give?â
âThey claim someone reported Aröme Tower for contraband. Now theyâre checking every employeeâs identification.â Allan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. âItâs clear theyâre looking for something.â
âTheyâre not here by coincidence. Someoneâs stirring up trouble.â Years of experience had taught Fabian how to handle storms like this. âTell everyone to keep their cool. Iâm on my way.â
âUnderstood.â Allan followed his instructions.
