Chapter 991

Lysander’s gaze, deep and inscrutable, seemed to casually drift over to the mug of coffee on the table.

Thalassa returned to Crawley Group headquarters and immediately briefed Ethan on Lysander’s intentions.

Ethan was thrilled. “Great, I’ll have finance prepare the penalty fee right away. Ms. Everhart, you’ve scored another win for us. You can expect a hefty bonus this month,” he said with a smile to Thalassa.

The project with the Sinclair Group had not yielded profits; instead, it had led to a major incident. Many businesses had gone under due to such disasters.
