Chapter 13

Author: Spellman
Everyone in the room was shocked.

Gordon's face turned ugly, but he quickly regained his calm and gave a vicious laugh. "Adrian, do you really think you can bring me down with some fake charts? No chance."

He pulled another document from his briefcase and slammed it onto the table.

"Holt Group's biggest overseas chip supplier is on my side. With one phone call, I can cut off the core hardware for the AI district. And that's not all. The three biggest distributors in the southern region jointly s

    She walked over to me with a glass of champagne in her hand."Ms. Grant, why aren't you eating crab tonight? Did you switch to champagne?" I teased.Natalie suddenly dropped to one knee in front of me.The whole room erupted in shock. Everyone turned to look at us.She pulled out an extremely luxurious velvet box and slowly opened it.Inside was a sparkling blue diamond ring and a thick stock transfer agreement.Natalie looked at me; every word deliberate—earnest yet commanding. "Damian, Grandview Creative District succeeded, and you now have full control of Holt Group. It's time for you to keep the promise you made to me years ago."She held the agreement out to me and continued, "This is a newly established billion-dollar acquisition fund from Luminex Group, along with 50% of my personal shares in Luminex Group. This is my gift to you. Damian, I've liked you for a long time. Will you be my boyfriend, or better yet, my husband?"I was so shocked and happy that I froze.Beside me, Adri

    Everyone in the room was shocked.Gordon's face turned ugly, but he quickly regained his calm and gave a vicious laugh. "Adrian, do you really think you can bring me down with some fake charts? No chance."He pulled another document from his briefcase and slammed it onto the table."Holt Group's biggest overseas chip supplier is on my side. With one phone call, I can cut off the core hardware for the AI district. And that's not all. The three biggest distributors in the southern region jointly submitted withdrawal requests this morning!"Gordon placed both hands on the table and glared at me. "If I go to prison, Holt Group's entire supply chain will collapse tomorrow. Its stock will crash. Let's see if you really dare to do this!"The conference room fell completely silent.Several neutral directors who had supported me moments ago turned pale and began to worry.I stood up, crossed my arms, and smiled. "Gordon, I'll admit, that's a nasty move. Too bad you've underestimated me. And you

    "Damian, stop playing dumb." She walked up to me and spoke with complete seriousness.After saying that, she turned around, got into her car, and drove away.I stood there, my heart beating fast.When Adrian finished dealing with everything and came over, he bumped my shoulder. "Well? She is head-over-heels, isn't she?"He laughed excitedly. "Damian, I respect how you handle business. But when it comes to love, I'd say Ms. Grant is definitely your match."My face turned red as I put an arm around him. "No. Making money is the most important thing. I'll worry about love later! Let's go. Let's head home!"After what happened at the construction site, Adrian and I placed the recordings and evidence on my father Benjamin Holt's desk.Benjamin wasn't in good health, but he could still tell right from wrong.In the end, Gordon was stripped of all authority to interfere with the Grandview Creative District project. He also received an official warning from the company.Adrian and I could fina

    What shocked me most was that the person giving orders beside the bulldozer was Isabelle."Isabelle, have you lost your mind?" I shouted angrily and rushed over with Adrian.When Isabelle turned and saw us, her face twisted with hatred and pride. "Adrian, you finally came!"She waved the metal pipe in her hand with a vicious look. "You think getting me expelled from school means I'm finished? Mr. Gordon is a good man. He not only gave me 20,000 dollars, but he also sent these people to help me deal with you. Today, I'm going to ruin both of you. Keep smashing everything! Then call the reporters and tell them Holt Group is using force to break the law and refusing to pay its workers!"The thugs immediately surrounded us, gripping their metal pipes.Adrian pulled me behind him and stared coldly at her. "Isabelle, you really are useless. Do you think Gordon will protect you? He's only using you. If anything goes wrong, you'll be the first one to take the blame!""Shut up!" Isabelle comple

    I leaned back in my chair and asked coldly, "These steel beams came from the same shipment, so why did you report a price to the finance department that was a full 30% higher than the market average? There are also these fake invoices. They involve 200,000 dollars in so-called public relations expenses. Where did that money go?"Charles's face instantly turned pale.He suddenly stood up and pointed at me, shouting. "Adrian! Don't make false accusations against me! I was busting my ass for Holt Group while you were still in diapers. How dare you investigate me? Do you really think I won't fight back? I can get all my workers to go on strike and completely kill this project!"He was threatening me.If construction stopped, Luminex Group could pull its funding at any time.I let out a cold laugh, stood up, and glared at him. "You think I don't dare to take you on?"I turned to Adrian. "Adrian, tell him what happens if his workers go on strike."Adrian opened the tablet in his hand and sai

    I was prepared for that, so I pushed another letter of intent across the desk to her. "So we need Luminex Group to join the deal. Luminex Group owns controlling stakes in the two largest AI hardware suppliers in the country. If you agree, this five million dollars will count as Luminex Group's technology investment. In return, you'll get exclusive hardware supply rights for the district for the next three years, plus 20% of the profits. You can keep this straight, right?" Natalie leaned back in her chair, her eyes filled with surprise and admiration. "I approve the extension and the technology investment. But as a partner, I need to keep track of the project at all times. So I have one private condition. For the next three months, I want you to come to my house every Friday night and give me a report in person. And listen carefully. You must come alone." I angrily slapped the desk. "Natalie! Don't push it!" Natalie stood up and walked over to me. She lowered her head, her voice fil
