Chapter 596 Sharp Questions

Nobody saw it coming when The Rossi Family's raw materials got yanked back. Even The Rossi Family was floored.

They had this grand plan to corner the market, flood it with their stuff, and leave customers desperate for their raw materials, all while blocking the Olteran Group from selling theirs. The idea was to make Olteran's second division bleed at least seven billion dollars.

To dig themselves out, Olteran would have to scramble for new business, leaving them wide open. The Rossi Family figured they could swoop in, hit Olteran where it hurt, and get their revenge. "Congrats, Mr. Rossi," said an ex-Olteran employee who'd jumped ship to The Rossi Family.

Cole raised his wine glass, "We owe it to Mr. Stewart for joining us."
