These little directors still totally didn’t know what a mess the Powell family was like now.
The Powell family looked pretty good on the surface, but inside, they were basically running on empty.
“The Powell and Hale families had a strong marriage alliance, so what? Even if you put their assets together, they still couldn’t compare to the Knighton family. Everyone knew that in the past ten or twenty years, Merlin and Zayden invested in countless companies. Honestly, even ten Hale families and Powell families together might not be as rich as the Knighton family.

After all, everyone only knew that Merlin and Zayden were super rich and almost always won when they invested, but as for how rich they really were, no one knew so far.

Even though she already knew very well, Zayden wasn’t interested in her.
But whenever she had a chance, she didn’t want to miss it.
Anyway, she had already given up, so even if Zayden humiliated her one more time, she didn’t care.
After his own daughter reminded him he was in the wrong seat, Marlon wasn’t happy, but at least he didn’t lose his temper. He just reluctantly moved to the first seat on the left side of the rectangular conference table.
