Betrayed, Then Back For Blood

Chapter 140

“Ruben, Briar sent more good news!” Without caring about anything else, Larry rushed into Ruben’s office, carrying his laptop. After closing the door behind him, he eagerly pulled up the chat interface and showed it to Ruben.

Usually calm and composed, Ruben’s pupils contracted slightly upon reading the message. It was indeed good news, but he still reminded the overly excited Larry, “Larry, this is a company. Mind your emotions. Don’t let anyone with ill intent notice anything unusual.”
