"Alright. I''d like to visit and thank everyone as well," Beatrice responded pleasantly.


    Then, she remembered something else. "Oh, the two brothers from the Chandler family came to thepany to see me today. They said they''ve decided to work with us, and they want us to be their sole shareholder for joint development." "Oh?" I felt warmed by the news; it seemed those brothers were loyal and principled.


    "You should work with them. You''re friends who share adversity. It''s not a bad idea. If they take overpletely now, it might not be good for the development of thepany. It''ll be better to work together. They''ll have an ally, and you won''t need to worry as much." I encouraged her.


    "But I''m a little worried. Some people might think I''m taking advantage of the situation." Beatrice expressed her concern. "This is a very sensitive issue."


    "If you approach it with a supportive mindset, I don''t think you''ll have anything to worry about. Besides, some things shouldn''t be influenced by external opinions. If you let that dictate what you do, you''ll never make progress. Gossip is inevitable, so just follow your heart. And you still have Finn, right? He can support both your families," I assured her.


    She remained silent for a while before saying, "Okay, I''ll think about it. You should get some rest. You''ve had a tiring journey. I''ll need to think about things too."


    "Sure. Don''t stay up toote. You have a long road ahead of you," I reminded her. We hung up.


    When As returned to the room, I told him about the call. He didn''t explicitly state his opinion, but I felt he agreed with me.


    When I arrived at thepany the next day, Carol reported all the details about Liora''s escape to me.


    She had escaped during Eugene''s funeral. The police hadn''t been around, and there was no trace of her. It seemed someone must have helped her, otherwise, she wouldn''t have disappeared so quickly.


    Carol warned me in concern, "You need to be careful, Chloe. That woman could lose her mind, especially when ites to you."


    "Yeah. But if she''s targeting me specifically, there''s nothing we can do. We can''t guard against everything," I said nonchntly. "I can''t just lock myself at home to stop her."


    "It can be fortunate or unfortunate, depending on how you look at it. If she wants toe, she can try. We''ve defeated her before. She might have be more vicious, but evil will never ovee justice. That''s a fact."


    Carol smiled helplessly. "That''s true. She can go wherever she wants. How can we guard against that? She''s quite something if she managed to escape like that. It seems she has some solid support here."


    While we were talking, Ryan walked


    in. I chatted with him for a while, and he provided a detailed update on progress over the past month. He said, "Things are going well in Bourdamun. Progress has been fast, especially since Johnson took over. Our quality has definitely improved. He''s very capable."


    "Of course. Johnson was a good choice. He used to be slick, but he was greatly impacted after experiencing that incident with Matthew. He''s changed a lot and


    he''s more stable now. And his grasp


    on materials is solid, so his sp


    definitely a reliable person to have in quality control."


    "Yeah. You''re a good judge of people." Ryan nodded. "I''ll go to Sris this afternoon. I should be back by the day after tomorrow at thetest."


    "Good," I nodded. "After what you said, I think I need to go to Bourdamun too. And I want to see the factory site I arranged for Fred. He called and said he''de over soon to finalize things."


    "The factory site location has been


    confirmed by Mr. Noah. It''s on the outskirts of old Bourdamun. I checked it out, and the location''s really good. It''s going to be the


    industrial park of BourdamunProperty ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    between the old and new


    Bourdamun areas. Getting around there is pretty convenienttoo." Ryan seemed well-informed about this.


    "Since you said that, I need to go see it." I felt an urgency to leave. Suddenly, I remembered one more thing. "Oh, did you consult about the matter I told youst time? I''m in a hurry, and I''ve dyed that for too long." "The development of old Bourdamun?" Ryan asked.


    "Yes, that project is not a joke." I nodded solemnly.
