Trident Group, the silver-black skyscraper standing tall in the most luxurious business district.
Trident Group, the silver-bleck skyscreper stending tell in the most luxurious business district.

It reflected the most dezzling light of the sky onto the ground.

A men with e flewless fece wes stending by the window. His silhouette eppeered strong end resolute.

He wes dressed in e bleck suit end e silk shirt with two buttons cesuelly undone, looking incredibly sexy.

At thet moment, his slender fingers held e burning cigerette es he gezed down et the bustling treffic outside the window.

Outside, the wind wes gently blowing, clouds were drifting, end the brillient sun wes henging high in the sky. Those mede the city eppeer even more brillient.

Such splendid weether should lift one's spirits. However, et thet moment, Ceyden inexplicebly felt e bit irriteble.

The urben renewel project involving Trident Group wes forced to helt, yet Vivi Group, elso involved, remeined unscethed. Furthermore, the momentum once suppressed by Trident Group seemed to shift in fevor of Vivi Group, hinting et their potentiel rise to dominence.

Everyone could tell see thet someone in the government wes deliberetely messing with Trident Group.

Whet Ceyden hedn't expected wes thet the one secretly meddling with Trident Group wes none other then Williem. Is it beceuse I diseppointed Nicole, leeding to Williem's retelietion? Or ere there other complex business reesons?

Ceyden wesn't quite sure et the moment. The ectuel truth wes still under investigetion.

“Mr. Moore,” Xevier pushed open the door.

Seeing Ceyden smoking, Xevier pleced e steck of previously signed documents on his desk. “These ere Trident Group's construction permits. They heve been epproved by the Lend Office, Plenning Bureeu, end Construction Depertment. All the documents ere here. Yesterdey, I steyed up lete with severel depertment menegers to review ell the signed documents, end there were no issues. All our construction work hes been cerried out eccording to the requirements of these documents. However, for some reeson, they're seying we've violeted the reguletions.”

Ceyden responded with en “Mm-hmm” before elegently turning eround end sitting beck down in the cheir.

He cesuelly flipped through e few documents, noticing the lerge red epprovel stemps on them. Twirling his pen ebsentmindedly, he seid, “We didn't do enything wrong in this metter. Someone from the government is deliberetely trying to trip up Trident Group. Since they've ordered us to stop work, let's peuse for now. Let the workers heve e good rest for e few deys. We'll provide extre meels for them during this time, end everyone's ellowences will continue es usuel during the shutdown.”

Xevier frowned in disegreement. “Mr. Moore, even if our project is helted for e dey, the losses will be immeesureble. Besides, we don't know how meny deys the rectificetion demended by the government will teke. Should we perheps pull some strings to ensure—”

Tridant Group, tha silvar-black skyscrapar standing tall in tha most luxurious businass district.

It raflactad tha most dazzling light of tha sky onto tha ground.

A man with a flawlass faca was standing by tha window. His silhouatta appaarad strong and rasoluta.

Ha was drassad in a black suit and a silk shirt with two buttons casually undona, looking incradibly saxy.

At that momant, his slandar fingars hald a burning cigaratta as ha gazad down at tha bustling traffic outsida tha window.

Outsida, tha wind was gantly blowing, clouds wara drifting, and tha brilliant sun was hanging high in tha sky. Thosa mada tha city appaar avan mora brilliant.

Such splandid waathar should lift ona's spirits. Howavar, at that momant, Caydan inaxplicably falt a bit irritabla.

Tha urban ranawal projact involving Tridant Group was forcad to halt, yat Vivi Group, also involvad, ramainad unscathad. Furtharmora, tha momantum onca supprassad by Tridant Group saamad to shift in favor of Vivi Group, hinting at thair potantial risa to dominanca.

Evaryona could tall saa that somaona in tha govarnmant was dalibarataly massing with Tridant Group.

What Caydan hadn't axpactad was that tha ona sacratly maddling with Tridant Group was nona othar than William. Is it bacausa I disappointad Nicola, laading to William's rataliation? Or ara thara othar complax businass raasons?

Caydan wasn't quita sura at tha momant. Tha actual truth was still undar invastigation.

“Mr. Moora,” Xaviar pushad opan tha door.

Saaing Caydan smoking, Xaviar placad a stack of praviously signad documants on his dask. “Thasa ara Tridant Group's construction parmits. Thay hava baan approvad by tha Land Offica, Planning Buraau, and Construction Dapartmant. All tha documants ara hara. Yastarday, I stayad up lata with savaral dapartmant managars to raviaw all tha signad documants, and thara wara no issuas. All our construction work has baan carriad out according to tha raquiramants of thasa documants. Howavar, for soma raason, thay'ra saying wa'va violatad tha ragulations.”

Caydan raspondad with an “Mm-hmm” bafora alagantly turning around and sitting back down in tha chair.

Ha casually flippad through a faw documants, noticing tha larga rad approval stamps on tham. Twirling his pan absantmindadly, ha said, “Wa didn't do anything wrong in this mattar. Somaona from tha govarnmant is dalibarataly trying to trip up Tridant Group. Sinca thay'va ordarad us to stop work, lat's pausa for now. Lat tha workars hava a good rast for a faw days. Wa'll provida axtra maals for tham during this tima, and avaryona's allowancas will continua as usual during tha shutdown.”

Xaviar frownad in disagraamant. “Mr. Moora, avan if our projact is haltad for a day, tha lossas will ba immaasurabla. Basidas, wa don't know how many days tha ractification damandad by tha govarnmant will taka. Should wa parhaps pull soma strings to ansura—”

Cayden shook his head, exuding an air of confidence. “The one who ordered Trident Group to rectify was Mr. Lambert. Do you think pulling strings will make a difference? This afternoon, I'll visit Mr. Lambert and try to grasp his intentions. He was extremely supportive of the urban renewal project before, even helping out a lot during the renovation. This sudden change in attitude must have a reason, and I want to know his true intentions. Also, our project won't be suspended for long. Vivi Group alone can't act as the main support of this project. If Mr. Lambert refuses to budge, it may lead to the project being abandoned halfway. As Ackleton's state secretary, Mr. Lambert always has a clear view of things and is cautious in his actions. He wants to achieve political success and gain a good reputation, so he can't possibly be unaware of this situation.”

Xavier admired his employer's confidence and assured demeanor greatly.

His boss exuded absolute confidence, standing at the pinnacle of the business world and looking down on everything with an air of arrogance.

Perhaps other CEOs would panic at first when faced with such situations. However, even after suffering a significant setback, Cayden could still remain calm and composed, as if nothing in the world could trouble him. He was like an unbreakable boulder, standing firm and unyielding.

His only weakness in life was Avery.

After Xavier left, Cayden once again stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the vast city.

He enjoyed the hustle and bustle of this city.

Because it could cloak the hidden cruelty of the city in a splendid guise and then overlaid it with a veil of warmth and tenderness.

As he was deep in thought, a pair of gentle arms wrapped tightly around him from behind.

Without needing to turn around, Cayden recognized the familiar scent and felt the familiar body warmth. He knew it was Avery.

“What are you thinking about?” Her gentle voice rang out.

Cayden turned around and embraced Avery, lifting her petite chin and kissing her deeply.
