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.

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.

Faced with the prospect of billions, the few million in contract penalties were mere pocket change.
