Chapter 579 Match

“Ms. Ortega, you certainly knows how to play the game,” Benjamin said, his voice filled with mockery as it sliced through the tension.

“You’re too kind.” Tina replied, her smile full of smug satisfaction.

She straightened up, exuding an air of superiority as she continued, “So what if you’re the respected Alpha of the Midnight Pack? In the world of business, you’re no match for me.”

She stepped closer to him, casually patting his shoulder.

“Kid, you made the biggest mistake of your life by cornering the Ortegas,” she said with a tone laced with contempt. “This isn’t Midnight Pack’s territory. No matter how skilled you are in combat, the world of business is nothing like the battlegrounds of wolves.

Turning to the group of bank executives standing behind her, she called out, “Aren’t you all leaving now? Or do you really want to discuss business with Benjamin and his Omega fiancée?”

“Of course, right away, right away…” one of the bank executives said quickly, his voice oozing with false eagerness. “You’re working with Mr. Lowe, so we’re definitely with the Ortegas.”
