When Aidan left, I considered discussing this with Ryan. However, I decided otherwise because Ryan had been abroad for many years and might not understand the intricate rtionships involved.This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    I wanted to tackle this project regardless of Bourdamun''s situation. I wouldn''t allow a minor issue to influence my decision because I owed it to As, who had paved the way for me. I refused to believe Nelson could overpower the big shots.


    Suddenly, my phone rang. I was surprised to see As''s non my phone. I smiled and answered, "It seems we do have a telepathic connection. You called as soon as I thought of you." I knew my words had pleased him as he asked, “Did you really think about me?" I yfully replied, "What do you think? I wanted to talk to you more yesterday but couldn''t. You passed out, and I thought it was because of your injury. Thank goodness the doctor said you were just exhausted." As chuckled, "Hmm, it pained you to seelike that, huh? How did the negotiations go?" I replied solemnly, "I need to discuss something with you." I narrated everything about Bourdamun in detail to As. He fell silent before saying, "Rest assured, I''ll take care of these things." I responded, "We must gather as much evidence as possible to expose Nelson''s misdeeds. I fear someone might use this against us if we don''t. Tonight''s the perfect tfor us to buffer the situation.


    "Otherwise, there might be future troubles if we sign the contract. Nelson''s influence runs too deep, and the slightest negligence could hinder us." My words weren''t exaggerated, especially since we didn''t know much about Bourdamun. I knew we had underestimated the difficulty of achieving our goals.


    "Martin specializes in such things, so investigating us is elementary for him. We must prepare ourselves just in case.” I suspected Martin would try probing into our background.


    I knew Jeremiah wouldn''t y dumb, either, since he was Martin''spdog. I even thought Jeremiah''s previous visit might have been part of their n.


    Afterward, I considered Grayson''s performance in this issue. He had handled it poorly because he didn''t investigate their rtionship thoroughly. However, it was also challenging for Grayson if Martin intended to keep things hidden. Upon hearing my analysis, As praised, "Hmm, it seems my clever girl has learned to strategize." His words madeproud of myself. I chuckled, saying, "I learned from the best. You might leaveif I didn''t use my brain." "I could never. I''d treasure youdearly, even if you were an idiot." As''s tone was indulgent, and couldn''t help but think of Ste''s words. She had subtly implied that I was As''s pawn. Even if I were, I was willing to be one. I said a little impatiently, "I still have much to ask you." "What is it? Don''t hesitate to questionat any time," he yfully replied.
