Fletcher Looked on and rolled his eyes at Everett’s enthusiasm.


    “Thank you for your trust in me,” Everett eximed.


    He eagerly picked up the pen and signed his name on the designated line of the contract.


    In an animated tone, Everett shared, “Honestly, I’ve been contemting quitting my illegal business.


    Yet, having been in this line of work for so long, it’s hard to simply walk away.


    I’m not getting any younger, and the allure of a tranquil life with my family grows each day.


    I no longer have the appetite for risks.


    I’ve been waiting for the right opportunity.


    Thank you for giving me such a valuable chance!”


    As Everett recounted the beginnings of his career, Nathan listened, nodding asionally.


    While he appeared engaged, his thoughts drifted elsewhere.


    He idly spun the porcin white cup in his hand, tapping it rhythmically as the seconds ticked by on his diamond-studded watch.


    His gaze wandered to a corner of the room, deep in contemtion.


    The time hade for an update from his team.


    The light by the door flickered momentarily.


    Soon after, Fletcher returned and murmured, “Mr.


    Payne, Lonnie has a report about Cory.


    ”


    Everett, ever perceptive, noticed the sudden gravity in their expressions.Property ? 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

    With a courteous smile, he stood and excused himself.


    “Well… I seem to have overstayed my wee.


    I have other matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave now.


    ”


    After Everett exited and the office door closed, Fletcher couldn’t contain his curiosity.


    “Mr.


    Payne, are you really sure about this? Are you actually going to transfer control of the Payne Group’s milk powder business to Everett?”


    “Yes,” Nathan affirmed.


    Nathan stroked the seal in his hand, lost in thought, and remained silent for a moment.


    The milk powder division of the Payne Group had beenpromised.


    To uncover the forces behind the corruption, a decisive action was necessary.


    Nathan said, “Our adversaries lurk in the shadows, monitoring our every move.


    We’ve been battling them for ages.


    Have we gained any upper hand?”


    Fletcher remained silent, reflecting on the grim reality.


    They hadn’t secured any significant advantage; in fact, they had sustained considerable losses.


    “So, since resolving the issues directly isn’t feasible, let’s involve the underworld through Everett.


    Without the constraints of regtions, we can focus on other aspects.


    Moreover, Everett has a child affected by the contaminated milk powder, which means he’ll be even moremitted to ensuring the safety of the product,” Nathan reasoned, his dark eyes reflecting a deep analysis of the entire n.


    Just then, Lonnie entered the room and, catching part of the conversation, interjected with surprise, “Mr.


    Payne, am I hearing this right? Are you nning to partner with Everett in business?”


    Such a partnership could indeed be effective if managed correctly.


    But considering the scale of the Payne Group’s milk powder industry, handing it over to Everett might raise suspicions.


    If their adversaries were to uncover this strategy and exploit it…


    “Don’t worry,” Nathan replied sinctly.
