Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

No matter how beautiful the dream was, Aurora had to face reality. She returned to the

company.

Carmine walked in holding a stack of documents. "Miss Aurora, these are all the materials on Radiant Horizons."

Aurora could have easily searched online for the information herself, but Carmine, concerned about Aurora's pregnancy, discouraged her from spending too much time on computers. It was bad for her eyes and carried radiation risks. So Carmine had prepared everything in advance, including analysis and comparison tables.

Aurora spent an entire day poring over the thick stack of documents on her desk. By the time she finished, she had a thorough understanding of the company. Like R Corporation, Radiant Horizons was established in New York in the previous century.

In terms of operational scale, it was on par with R Corporation. If R Corporation was a tiger, then Radiant Horizons was a lion.

While their scales matched, their business strategies differed. Radiant Horizons preferred forming alliances with other companies, which not only spread risks but also expanded the market. After all, lions were social animals.

What puzzled her, though, was that despite Radiant Horizons collaborating with numerous companies over the years, it had never partnered with R Corporation. The two companies had competed for many contracts, and although they maintained a façade of civility, they clearly didn't like each other.

Over the years, there had been plenty of open and covert conflicts. Now, suddenly seeking collaboration with their rival was bound to be challenging.

Still, no matter how difficult it was, Aurora had to move forward. After familiarizing herself with Radiant Horizons' background, she began researching the company's staff.

At the same time, Mio was preparing in his own way. He didn't need to study the company's background-he already knew it. His focus was on analyzing the leadership, searching for exploitable details.
