All the partners were now ready to sever ties with S Corporation. All he had to do was to splash some cash on PR to bring down Julian, and then spend more to tarnish S Corporation's reputation. Once that was done, S Corporation's stock would plummet, leaving them with no chance for redemption!
On the other side, Booker voiced his concerns with a hint of worry, "Mr. Ricardo, several of our projects are currently losing money. Is it really worth it to spend ten billion to bring down S Corporation at such a time?"
"Losing money? If we manage to secure all these partners in Devonport, then the Cloude family will have a foothold in the Devonport market. Ten billion isn't bad... it's just a matter of a few years before we earn it all back. We’ve got a vast empire in business. Are we really unable to withstand this minor setback?"
Since Ricardo had no intention of turning back, Booker bit his tongue.
Back in Devonport, Booker hadn't realized the severity of Duskhaven's situation. Only after coming back did he discover the situation in Duskhaven was far more complicated than what he had initially heard in Devonport!
Not only were many projects losing money, but several partners had also been poached by former rivals.
Despite these challenges, Ricardo had been indifferent.
Ever since being provoked by the daughter of the Russell family, Ricardo had been in a frenzied state, determined to eliminate Julian, the thorn in his side, as quickly as possible. He even aspired to take over S Corporation in one fell swoop.
But how could that possibly be done?
Ricardo had already hung up the call, leaving Booker to sigh in resignation.
If things continued this way, the Cloude family was bound to collapse sooner or later.
Booker turned to arrange Odie and Sophie's check-in but stopped in his tracks when he saw Sophie in the hotel lobby.
"Ms. Sophie?" Booker was surprised.
Had Odie actually allowed Sophie to move freely in and out of the hotel by herself?
Hearing this, Booker adjusted his glasses and chuckled, "Ms. Sophie, you must be joking."
"I'm not joking. I'm very serious," Sophie stepped forward, adding, "I've done my research on you. You've been working tirelessly for Ricardo, all because his father Weldon once helped you by funding your education. You've stayed by Ricardo's side out of gratitude. But... Ricardo is not a good businessman, and he's also an evil man who plan to kill Weldon's illegitimate child."
Booker frowned, stating, "Ms. Sophie, if these are the reasons you wanted to talk, I don't think there's any need for us to continue this conversation."
Sophie's voice turned cold, "Julian is, after all, Weldon's son. Aren't you afraid that if he knows what you're doing from below, he'll regret ever helping you?"
"So, what do you know? Julian's mere existence brings shame to Mr. Weldon!"
"You finally admitted it."
A subtle smile crept onto Sophie's face. By the time Booker realized he had misspoken, it was too late. He furrowed his brow and said, "Ms. Sophie, I have other pressing matters. I'll have to take my leave now."
