Still Your Dog? No, I'm Gone novel Chapter 90

Chapter 90

“I heard about what happened to your sister. Did she get hurt?” When I returned to the office the next day, Sophia rushed in and asked, looking visibly worried.

I shook my head. “She’s fine. Everything’s been taken care of.”

Sophia let out a breath of relief, but her expression remained grim. “Camille is such an asshole. There’s nothing she won’t do!”

My gaze turned icy as I turned to her and solemnly announced, “Sophia, I’ve made up my mind. I’m officially attacking Layton Group. I want them to go bankrupt!”

Sophia froze, clearly not expecting me to say that

I continued, “Layton Group’s market value is in billions. They’re not someone we can easily knock down, but I still want to try.

“I know this is risky for you…”

This wasn’t something I could take on alone. Although Sophia had always stood by me, going head–to–head with Layton Group had its risks and was no small feat.

To my surprise, Sophia immediately nodded. “Say no more, I’m in! I’ll always be here for you, no matter what you do!”

She gave me a warm, reassuring smile.

“I…” I was at a loss for words, and in the end, I could only mutter a soft thank you.

“Why are you being so formal with me? We’re partners, aren’t we? We’ll rise and fall together.

“Plus, I still haven’t gotten over the last time Layton Group nearly crushed our company. If you can take them down, that would be very satisfying.”

I could tell that she said that just to comfort me.

As a smart businesswoman, she knew that this was a wrong move. Realistically, we understood that we should have waited until Maxophia Logistics had a more solid foundation before we challenged Layton Group.

Nevertheless, she showed full support without hesitation, and I was touched.

From that day on, I began gathering details on the Layton family while continuing to manage our project with Centrise Group.

To me, this wasn’t difficult. I’d handled most of the Layton Group’s projects, negotiating and signing them myself.

Now, looking at the business empire I’d built and knowing I was about to destroy it with my own hands, I couldn’t help feeling mixed feelings. Fate was a joke, but I guessed that was how life was meant to be.

Layton Group was based in the supply chain. In addition to having a comprehensive logistics system, they also had extensive warehouses.

Supply and provision–those were worlds apart in strategy.

Under my previous planning, Layton Group had begun pivoting and with considerable success.

I took the contract file and made my way to Brinestone Optima Enterprises. It was a company that partnered with Layton Group on a food project, and though it didn’t involve a huge investment, I had secured the deal back then.

“Mr. Wexler, are you saying you want to partner with us?” Henry Talerico, the CEO of Brinestone Optima Enterprises, asked.

“That’s right, Mr. Talerico. My company is up and running. I believe that you’ve heard the news that Centrise Group has just signed a two–year partnership contract with us.

“In the future, Maxophia Logistics might just become the next Layton Group.” I smiled confidently.
