The head of the project department was bewildered.
It was actually the latest research plan for Hydrogen Fuel!
He immediately snatched the project book from Keiraâs hands and began to read.
The project book didnât detail the specific content of the research, but the topic was hot, something allcompanies wanted to engage in but were blocked by technological and capability barriers.
He flipped through a few more pages, then became excited. âYouâve already developed results?â
Keira nodded. âIndeed.â
The project department head was instantly thrille and he eagerly grabbed Wayneâs arm, whispering,Davis, our company must not sever ties with Keera Technology! You have no idea how rare this projecti Right now, many are desperate to break through this technologyâ¦â
Before he could finish, Wayne frowned and
interrupted coldly, âBrian, are you
also been bought by these two?â
confused? Have you
Director Brian immediately waved his hands. âHow could that be, Mr. Davis, donât say that!â
âThen why are you speaking on their behalf? A breach is a breach! Davis Corporation has always beenfair and just, and we wonât bend the law for personal gain! They must compensate the twenty million!â
Director Brian panicked. âMr. Davis, you donât understand. The value of this plan in my hands farexceeds twenty million! Currently, no one on the market has solved this problem! If other companiesfound out, they would surely rush to pay the twenty million for her!â
Wayne didnât believe it, thinking he was making a mountain out of a molehill. âKeera Technology is jusmall company. Where did they get such an excelle plan? If they had the capability to develop it, then wsurely have it too! At worst, weâll spend twenty millic to poach their entire research department!â
Today, Wayne had made up his mind to teach Mary a
lesson.
There was no other choice.
This niece of his was extremely pretty; if she could obediently assist him in socializing in the future,there wouldnât be a man in Clance who could resist her
charm!
Director Brian was anxious. âMr. Davis, this plan might not have been developed by their research
department. Their core team has resigned, and they havenât even hired new people yet⦠The only onewho can solve this bottleneck is Dr. South, currently available on the market.â
Wayne scoffed. âDonât exaggerate here. How can it only be Dr. South? Didnât Keera come up with it?Brian, in this matter today, we absolutely must not show favoritism. She must be treated severely!â
âButâ¦â
âThereâs nothing to discuss!â
Wayne banged the gavel, then looked at Mary, his li curving into a smile that smacked of victory. âMary,this is just a lesson for you. If you disobey, your best friend could be completely ruined. And if there is anext time, it could be your father, mother, or even
your grandmother who gets hurt!â
Mary clenched her fists. âYouâ¦â
Wayne turned to Director Brian. âWhat are you dawdling for? Call security and have these two thrown
out!â
Director Brian reluctantly looked at the plan in his hands. He wanted to speak, but Wayne immediatelyglared at him. âWhat are you looking at? If you donât obey, do you believe I can also kick you out?!â
Director Brian believed it.
Wayne was now the person in charge of the second branch of the family, and to show that the firstbranch didnât resent the second branch entirely, the cop ny had given Wayne a high position.
Therefore, Wayne had a lot of say in the compan
He furrowed his brows tightly, but finally couldnât saying, âShouldnât we consult Director Davis about
this?â
Ken Davis, the chairman and the person in charge of Davis Corporation, was from the first branch ofthe family and Wayneâs elder brother.
Wayne sneered. âBrian, it seems you really donât know your place, do you? Does such a small matterneed to bother my brother? Iâm beginning to seriously doubt that youâre in league with them. Sinceyouâre so ungrateful, submit your resignation immediately!â
Director Brianâs expression turned bitter.
He tried to explain. âMr. Davis, Iâ¦ânovelbin
âWhat about you? Donât try to pressure me with my brother! You think Iâm scared of him?!â
Wayne picked up the phone and dialed HR. âHR? Process Mary and Brianâs resignation immediately.Also, notify the legal department to expedite the lawsuit against Keera Technology with the court!âHearing this, Director Brianâs face turned pale.
Mary immediately stepped forward. âUncle, youâ¦â âIs this a place for you to speak?! Mary, you shouldknow that whether itâs in the company or at home, t more power you have, the more say you get!Withou capability, all you can do is obey!â
Wayne approached Mary and pinched her chin. âAnd another thing⦠women must understand theirworth.
Do you think that by entering the research department you can become a scientist? I advise you toobediently go home and be your decorative vase!â
Mary tried to break free from his grip, but her chin was pinched painfully, and she glared hatefully atWayne.
Keira immediately stepped forward. âLet go!â
She pushed Wayne away, freeing Mary from his grasp, then looked at her chin. âMary, are you alright?â
Before, Keira thought Mary was carefree every day and believed she was just a simple-minded younglady. She had no idea her family situation was so complicated!
She brought an even better solution to discuss a partnership, all the while aiming to get DavisCorporation to drop the lawsuit. Yet, she hadnât accomplished her goal!
She scoffed and took Mary by the arm, facing Way âAre you sure you donât want the plan, then? If thatthe case, Iâll seek other companies to partner with, youâll regret it!â
Wayne sneered again. âA worthless plan and you still
want to talk about a partnership with other companies?! A project worth billions-think Iâll regret it! Whatkind of grand claims are you making here!â Keira looked down. âAlright, Mary, letâs go.â
She could take the plan to other corporations and demand a price in the hundreds of millions; it wouldbe doable because conquering this challenge would lead to many collaborative opportunities!
It would place the corporationâs new energy ventures far ahead of other corporations!
The benefits it would bring in the future couldnât even be measured in billions.
Anyone who knew a bit about technology would understand this very clearly.
That was why Director Brian kept pleading with Wayne, but to no avail, Wayne even fired him!
Director Brian didnât pack up his things but followed the two women out.
Meanwhile.
Ellisâs car had already arrived at the corporationâs building.
Ken was a middle-aged man around fifty, belonging to one of the five major families. With a refined andscholarly air, he personally came down to welcome Ellis into the building after he got out of the car.
