Bennett could not contain himself. “Mr. Riverson, you promised me last night!”

Roger leaned in, lowering his voice. “This was a last–minute situation. Early this morning, the mayor met with Rex, the CEO of Ydris Group. He agreed to fully support all smart projects in South City–for free. The catch? He insisted on participating in the bidding process.”

Roger subtly pointed toward a room on the second floor, its champagne–tinted glass reflecting the light. “He gave his vote to Dominic. Sometimes, you just have to accept fate. I’ll see if I can help you next time.”

Roger’s intention was clear as he finished speaking, placing a firm hand on Bennett’s shoulder and pressing down with enough force to cause his bones to ache.

Bennett flinched under the pressure, feeling the weight of the unspoken threat.

Roger gave him a final, pointed look before waving him off and leaving the venue.

The moment Roger was out of sight, Bennett’s legs gave out, and he collapsed onto the floor, his body trembling with despair.

In the audience, the chaos and applause around her seemed distant to Charmaine.

Her focus remained locked on Bennett.

She had watched him swagger with confidence, revel in his arrogance, and now fall apart like a lifeless shell.

The corners of her lips curled upward, the satisfaction spreading through her until she could not help herself–she laughed.

It had been ages since she felt this happy.

Her phone vibrated, a message preview lighting up the screen.

Rex texted, “Done, Boss. Your annual bonus is all going to charity now.”

Charmaine quickly replied, “It’s fine. I’ve got bonuses from my other companies.”

Rex replied, “Okay, rich girl!”

“Charmaine!”
