Chapter 13 Refusing His Request
Chandler ignored him and casually took the drink that Dante offered, swirling the dark red liquid in the glass between his fingers.
The drink reflected a strange light, adding to the tension in the air.
Dalton, remembering why he was here, steeled himself and said, "Uncle, about Celestial Ventures Group's project..."
Recently, Galaxy Holdings Group had been bidding on a project, and Celestial Ventures Group was one of the competitors. Dalton had promised Lydia he would secure this project for her. However, the contract had been sitting in Chandler's office for half a month without being processed, which was why he had braved the heavy rain to come here.

Dalton had prepared a lot to say, but the words stuck in his throat.
Still thinking of Lydia's request, he pressed on, "Uncle, it's just about signing the contract..."

"Dalton, you really have some nerve," Chandler said, his tone sharp.

Dalton felt a sinking feeling in his gut. He didn't interact with Chandler much and usually didn't have any conflicts of interest with him, but tonight, it was clear Chandler was furious. "Don't forget you're part of Galaxy Holdings Group. Have you even looked into Celestial Ventures Group's qualifications? You just bring this to me without any verification?"
