Chapter 213

A question as sharp as a needle’s point had all eyes in the room settled on Kevin.

Kevin, under Evadne’s smiling yet piercing gaze, felt a slight shiver at the heart. But he still managed to respond calmly. “It’s no secret in our circle anymore. The Abernathy Group had a previous run-in with us, and Ada was caught in the middle, swaying between you and Mr. Thaddeus. But in the end, your superior skills won you the right to host the wedding. Now that weve fallen short, and with Ada’s wedding drawing near, it’s only natural that she’d turn to the Abernathy Group, isn’t it?”

His words were so well measured that they left no room for objection

Evadne’s eyes curved into a smile, and she leaned back comfortably in her chair Your analysis is good, but you’ve overlooked one point. As far as I know, the Abernathy Group and Ada have yet to sign a formal contract”

The room gasped in surprise, “What? it’s been a week and they still havent signed?”

Kevin kept a poker face, but his expression was obviously becoming strained.

If they had signed wouldn’t the Abernathy Group be trumpeting the news? Their silence suggests things have yet to progress. That means we still have a chance”

Evadne spun her chair leisurely. “You see, I’m a stubborn one by nature I never give up until the last moment. So, I’ve devised a new plan, which I intend to present to Ads in the coming days. Let’s see if we can catch the Abernathy Group off guard”

The room erupted into applause. That’s President Ashbourne! So assertive!”

Kevin forced a smile joining in the applause

“But President Ashbourne” Kevin began, “at the end of the day, we were the ones who breached the contract initially I suspect Ada already has a grudge against us. Won’t you be hitting a brick wall trying to negotiate with her again?”

“That’s true. Somethings can’t be forced”

Evanesips were a rich red, her eyes sparkling like black diamonds, her smile was unapologetically bold

“Just because life is full of disappointments doesnt mean we shouldn’t try. Even if it seems impossible, I’m going to give it a shot”

After the meeting the project team members left.

The large conference room was left with only Evadne and Jason.

Evadne accepted the coffee Jason handed her, standing in front of the large floor-to-ceding window overlooking the grand view of Elmsworth, and sipped her coffee in a relaxed manner “Miss Evadne, you mentioned in the meeting that you’ve devised a new plan. Were you telling a le?” Jason stood beside her, asking tentatively

Jason’s eyes widened in excitement, “Really? Who?”

Evadne’s eyes darkened, “Jason, I want you to follow Kevin after work tonight. Report to me immediately about who he meets and any unusual movements.”
