Louisa paused mid-step without turning around, not wanting to witness that nauseating scene.Beside them, Vivian grew annoyed seeing him focused only on Louisa. She pouted childishly, "George, didn't you say I could represent your company at the Taylor Group signing this afternoon? I came early specifically to familiarize myself with your project. Aren't you even a little touched?"Then she rudely ordered Louisa, "Ms. Forbes, go get the project documents and contracts."Louisa's expression instantly turned ice-cold.Completely ignoring Vivian, she looked directly at George, her eyes devoid of warmth. "You're giving my project to her?"Didn't he know how much she had sacrificed for this project?A month ago, when George wanted to secure the Taylor Group's AI project, the entire marketing department had mobilized but failed.Eventually, they had come begging to her for help.She had taken on the challenge without hesitation.To secure the deal, she had drunk until her stomach bled.When

"Not necessary!" Louisa refused without hesitation.George was about to speak when Vivian cut in from the passenger seat, "Ms. Forbes, I'm sorry.

"Louisa, wh

Louisa suddenly pivoted, smiling, "It seems we can't eat this fish after all. No matter—we'll have the restaurant prepare a new one."Though I've heard that all the fish caught by the restaurant today are quite large. I'm afraid this plate won't be big enough. And the restaurant likely doesn't have larger fish platters."Her implication was clear: while the Capulet Group might not be the Taylor Group's ideal choice, the Taylor Group's requirements were too substantial. Besides the Capulet Group, no other company had the capacity to handle the entire project.This was precisely why the Taylor Group had chosen the Capulet Group initially.Louisa's message was obvious—she had done her homework on the Taylor Group. The Capulet Group was their only viable option, so they shouldn't try to exploit the situation.George finally relaxed. She knew what she was doing after all.David's expression turned awkward as he forced out through gritted teeth, "Looks like you've done your homework well."
