Lost Me Gained Regret

RiverCity, RF Group.

After wrapping up an urgent meeting, Bryant stepped out of the boardroom.

Kevin hurried to catch up, reporting, "That black sheep from the Ford Group just called to confirm our partnership with SZ Technology."

"Uh-huh." Bryant didn't seem too concerned, striding towards his office.

It was just another chapter in the Ford family's ongoing saga of internal strife.

The question was whether Gregory Ford could effectively crush his opposition this time.

Kevin, puzzled, asked, "Why are we partnering with SZ Technology now, of all times?"

On a professional level, RF Group definitely needed SZ Technology's patented tech, but it wasn't necessary to partner up right now.

On a personal level, Mrs. Ferguson had eloped with Gregory, so why would Bryant want to throw a lifeline to his rival?

Bryant, with his distinctively firm grip, adjusted his tie and sat down, glancing up at Kevin, "Do you really think not partnering with him would make his fight any harder?" Palmer, ambitious yet lacking in scope and capability, only resorts to shady tactics.

The Ford Group was destined to be Gregory's, sooner or later.

Kevin, still confused, asked, "But with RF Group's support, he'll have an easier time. Why... would you want to help him?"

"I'm not helping him."
