Chapter 699

Penulis: Maureen Green
"Everyone," Aspen's voice broke the silence.

She stood up, her hands lightly gripping the edge of the conference table. "Momentum Corp's Mr. Pemberton is, according to my investigation, actually just a subordinate of Adrian Caldwell's. And this Mr. Caldwell is known in international financial circles as a corporate raider."

She picked up her tablet and transmitted several photos to the projector in the center of the conference room.

"These are three companies that Momentum Corp acquired in Southeast Allana. At the time of signing, everything looked great. They promised long-term strategic partnerships."

She clicked forward to the next photo. "And this is what those three companies looked like two years later, with over half the workforce laid off, assets stripped away, now reduced to empty shells."

Vince took off his glasses and cleaned the lenses. "Ms. Nicholls, is this information reliable?"

"It's completely reliable. It's been verified by Aetheris Group's legal department." As

    "Then why is your company so eager to acquire our patent technology?" Aspen shot back, her voice calm but cutting. "If Fuller Group is truly as worthless as you claim, today's meeting would be completely unnecessary."Lysander's expression shifted slightly. "Business acquisitions are routine. We're willing to take over Fuller Group to ensure the industry's stability.""Is it to stabilize the industry or to monopolize the market?" Aren suddenly spoke up. "According to our research, Cygnus Tech recently borrowed 800 million dollars, all of which went into this price war. That's hardly healthy business expansion."Lysander looked at Aren with surprise. "Who are you? What gives you the right to interfere in Fuller Group's decisions?""I'm Aren Jefferson, Fuller Group's strategic consultant." Aren pulled a stack of documents from his briefcase and placed them on the table."This is an analysis of Cygnus Tech's market strategy over the past six months, including every low-price quote yo

    "Aspen," Aren said in a tone that was gentle yet firm. "If I don't even have the courage to protect what I love, what's the point of business competition?"…Meanwhile, Louis hung up the phone and gazed out at the captivating cityscape. Upon receiving news of Fuller Group's predicament, he immediately adjusted his schedule."Put me in touch with Ms. Aspen Nicholls," Louis told Ernest. "Also, book a return flight to Allana for the day after tomorrow."Ernest nodded and quickly left the room to carry out the tasks.Two days later, in a private dining room at an upscale Diam Harbor restaurant, Aspen and Aren had just taken their seats when Louis entered. He wore a perfectly tailored navy suit, his demeanor elegant and composed."Ms. Nicholls, Mr. Jefferson, wonderful to see you both." Louis greeted them in fluent Chiruin. "Apologies for being late. There were some flight delays."Aspen nodded slightly and said, "We're incredibly grateful that you came personally, Mr. Westbrook. We

    "Let them come to me," Aspen interrupted calmly. "Tell them I'll present a complete response plan to the board tomorrow at 9:00 am."As Aspen ended the call, Aren looked at her. "I'm guessing they're already wavering.""It's human nature. We can't blame them." Aspen sighed, standing and walking to the window, her silhouette casting a long shadow under the lights."Since I took over, the company's stock has dropped nearly 30%. I would question my decisions as well if I were in their position."Aren leaned forward. "We need to counterattack—and fast.""But in what direction?" Aspen turned around, her voice tinged with exhaustion."Cash flow is tight, our technology breakthrough still needs time for mass production, Cygnus Tech is eating into our market, and now even internally we're unstable...""Internally?" Aren frowned.Aspen handed him a list. "These are employees who submitted resignations yesterday, mostly R&D key personnel. Word is Cygnus Tech offered them double their sal

    "The impact is real, but it won't change our development plans." Aspen's tone was firm. "I'm already exploring new funding channels."Miranda interjected, "Rumors about our impending bankruptcy are spreading through the market, and employee morale is getting shaky.""Rumors don't survive scrutiny." Aspen looked around the conference room at each member of the management team. "I guarantee you all that Fuller Group will not fall. We will weather this storm."After the meeting ended, Noah stayed behind. He said, "Aspen, the situation is more complex than we imagined.""Noah, you heard about Aren's predicament too?""There are no secrets in business." Noah sighed. "Now he's facing an impossible choice—he has to either abandon you and Fuller Group or lose the Jeffersons' support.""I already told him he could back out, but he refused." Aspen looked concerned. "I don't want him to lose everything because of me."Noah nodded. "That young man has more courage than I expected. But this

    "They reacted this quickly?" Aspen didn't show much surprise, as if she'd seen it coming."Business is warfare, and news travels faster than you'd expect." Aren smiled bitterly. "They're even demanding that I give up all existing resources. If I want to help Fuller Group, I'll have to start from scratch."Aspen moved to his side and said quietly, "You can back out. I'd understand. This was always my fight to begin with.""Back out?" Aren chuckled softly. "When did I ever say I was backing out?""But you'll lose Aetheris Group's support. For you, that means—""For me, it's just another obstacle to overcome," Aren interjected, turning to pick up his coffee cup and taking a sip of the now-cold brew."Besides, what I've always wanted to prove wasn't what I could accomplish with the Jeffersons' power, but that my own abilities are enough to support our future."…Three days later, Aren appeared at a discreet private club. His friend, Oliver Reed, had been waiting for some time and i

    "If that's what it takes," Aren answered firmly. "I made a deal with my grandfather. I asked him to give me three months to prove Fuller Group's value and your capabilities. If I succeed, he'll stop opposing our relationship."Aspen turned around, surprise flickering in her eyes. "You actually did that?""It's because I believe in you and our future." Aren took her hands. "Pen, I know I made a lot of mistakes, but please give me one chance to prove my feelings through actions."Aspen looked down, lost in thought as she recalled their time together. She remembered the countless hours they'd spent side by side, how he'd lifted her spirits during her lowest points, and all those quiet moments when his true emotions had broken through his carefully constructed facade."You know what? This past month, whenever I faced challenges, I found myself remembering your advice," Aspen said softly. "Even with my doubts, I can't deny that you've become an essential part of my life."Hope flickere
