Justinâs eyes started to turn red, and his voice was hoarse, almost pleading. âAll Iâve been doing is
trying to make things right. Iâm ready to put my life on the line for her happiness, even if none of you
can forgive me. Just please keep Bella safe. Youâre her eldest brother. You understand her better
than anyone!â
He was genuinely scared of upsetting Bella. Their relationship had only just begun to improve, and
he didnât want everything to go back to square one. But more than anything else, he feared for her
safety.
Asher had only intended to test him, but he hadnât expected to elicit such heartfelt words from
Justin. After a moment of contemplation, he said solemnly, âFine, you can take action, but you have
to do it with
me.â
While Justin geared up for battle at the front lines, the situation in Savrow was far from peaceful.
Today marked a significant partnership meeting between Corporation and Journey Ventures from
Meridan. Gregory senior executives of the Salvador Group had arrived early at the conference room
to prepare, but Justin was missing on such a
crucial occasion.
Due to the previous scandal involving Shannon, the reputation of t Salvador Corporation had
plummeted dramatically, even making
headlines in international media.
The stock value had dropped for three consecutive days, sparking widespread panic. Although
domestic projects may not be severely impacted, international business opportunities became
uncertain as
a result of these events.
At this crucial moment, the Thompson family in Hatchbay, the
Iverson family in Savrow, and even the Hoffman family were likely to take advantage of the situation
and seize market share from the Salvador Corporation abroad.
Now was the moment for Justin, the president of the company, to lead the group. It was the most
crucial time to raise morale and maintain stability. However, he was nowhere in sight, which
seemed
unbelievable!
At this point, Gregory sat in the conference room with a somber expression, exuding an intimidating
chill. Meanwhile, shareholders and senior executives were engaged in hushed discussions.
âIs it possible that President Salvador wonât show up at this point?â
âThatâs impossible! President Salvador is well-known for hi commitment. He hasnât missed a
meeting in years. Barring extreme circumstances, he will show up as usual.â
âThatâs how it used to be with the old President Salvador. B
Who knows?â
âWhat do you mean by that?â
âThese days, President Salvador seems entirely focused on pursuin the heiress from the Thompson
family. Heâs always around her li an infatuated puppy. Where would he find time or energy to focus
o
work?â
âIt seems like heâs preoccupied with making sure the young lady is happy, if you know what I
mean.â
Laughter erupted below.
âBut seriously, with all the challenges both internal and external that our company is dealing with,
along with our already tarnished reputation, if President Salvador doesnât participate in such a
crucial project, wouldnât Journey Ventures feel like weâre neglecting them? Can we still move
forward with the collaboration?â
These whispers reached Gregoryâs ears. He tightened his fists on the table as his brow furrowed
even deeper.
At that moment, his phone vibrated. With a dark expression, Gregory glanced down at his phone
and was momentarily taken aback as he saw his eldest sonâs name, Grant, on the screen.
The meeting was set to begin in less than five minutes, so Gregory didnât have time to answer the
call and pushed his phone aside.
The meeting was officially bound to begin. In reality, no one ha much hope of a successful
negotiation given that even the pre did not attend in person. Who would want to cooperate with su
unprofessional company?
Ever since Justin took over as president of the company, he took ov negotiations for various
meetings and projects, while Gregory typically only joined meetings for important matters. At this
moment, he couldnât help but feel nervous as he leaned forward and waited
anxiously.
A second later, the screen displayed the faces of Wilson Reed, the chairman of Journey Ventures,
along with his son, Wilson Reed Jr., who served as the CEO. Sitting beside them was a man who
was
unfamiliar to most of the executives present.
