The Bound Between Us

Chapter 373

Feiman wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and took a deep breath before answering the call. “Son, what can I do for you?” He tried to keep his voice as normal as possible.

Herman asked in a deep voice, “Dad, aren’t you at the office?”

Feiman replied, “No, I have a golf game with Johns. What’s up? If it’s not critical, I’d like to get back to my game.”

Herman’s voice was clear and determined. “We lost the bid for the Sincere Investment project. I just wanted to let you know.”

Feiman felt a sinking sensation in his stomach. “It’s just one project, no big deal. Elysian Technologies isn’t going to collapse over this; don’t stress yourself out.”

Herman frowned slightly. “Enjoy your game. I won’t disturb you.”

“Alright.” Feiman quickly ended the call and breathed a sigh of relief. He thought he had successfully dodged the bullet, but his hurried hang-up made Herman suspicious.

Feiman felt guilty.

Herman pondered briefly before making another call. “Dailey, check up on Joseph from Eagle Corporation…” Herman felt it was prudent to be cautious.

If Julie could find out about Joseph’s background, Dailey would certainly be able to do it faster.

An hour later, Herman had all the information about Joseph. Joseph’s mother, Tina, used to be Feiman’s secretary.

After reviewing the documents, Herman’s expression darkened.

Dailey asked, “Boss, are you okay?”

The sudden appearance of a half-brother would unsettle anyone. Herman sealed the documents. “Let’s keep this under wraps.” Dailey agreed, “Understood, boss.”

As long as Feiman could keep his secret from Katelyn, Herman would hold off on exposing him. If this ticking time bomb exploded, it would be a huge blow to Katelyn.

Herman chose to keep his cool while Joseph waited to be discovered. He had intentionally competed against Herman for the project in order to attract his attention and make him aware of his existence. But as the night fell, there was no response from Elysian Technologies regarding the projected loss, and they hadn’t approached him.

Joseph was puzzled. He had undercut Elysian Technologies’ bid, how could there be no reaction?
