Chapter 198 Beat That Damn Creep

"Playing along?" Lucy repeated, her voice dripping with disbelief.

Chloe smirked, her smile tinged with sarcasm and confidence, "Of course. Such petty tricks could never escape my notice."

Her voice was full of determination and pride, "I've been sitting at negotiation tables watching my grandfather conduct business since I was three. I've seen all kinds of people and situations.

In the business world, over these years, is there anyone I haven't met or any trap I haven't encountered? This so-called Aaron of yours is just a phantom from the internet, and yet he dares to do business with our company? Do you really think I'd be so easily deceived?"

A contemptuous smile played on her lips, and her gaze was sharp and composed, "The outskirts, the hotel, the poured wine, the lavish meal-did you truly believe such an obvious trap would lure me in? Do you take me for a naive three-year-old?

I was just in a good mood, playing along with Aaron to see who was pulling the strings. Did you really think I'd fall for your trap and let you control me?

Lucy, with your level of smarts, trying to take me down? You're way out of your league."

With that, Chloe grabbed Lucy by the neck and delivered a hard kick to Aaron, sending him sprawling. He had slapped Chloe twice earlier, and now it was payback time.

It turned out when Zara mentioned a client wanting to collaborate, Chloe's guard was immediately up. The business world was a battlefield, and every step required caution.

She quickly assigned her trusted team members to quietly investigate the background of this so-called Aaron. Upon discovering that Aaron had minimal assets and no reliable business track record, her alertness heightened significantly.

The subsequent arrangements only deepened Chloe's suspicions: the meeting location was remote, the hotel was of low quality, and numerous details appeared dubious. With years of business experience, she keenly sensed that this meeting might be a setup.

She gave Zara a meaningful look, and with the seamless rapport they had developed over the years, the two of them acted in perfect sync. At the moment of raising their glasses,
