The Clutches Of Hell Novel

Chapter 34

The people in the room could obviously sense that Christian was in a bad mood. Ever since Victoria left, none of them dared to speak.

On the contrary, Glen relaxed considerably, resuming his usual gentle and friendly behavior.

He poured out some wine for some people, smiling. “Don’t let a stranger dampen the mood. Let’s keep drinking.”

He clinked glasses with a few others, then downed the wine.

Soon, the atmosphere in the room turned better as if Victoria never appeared. However, the smoke still hung in the air as Christian sat in the center of the room, looking rather unamused.

After a few drinks with the others, Glen grew bolder, but when he spoke to Christian, he was still extremely careful. “Mr. Thatcher, what do you think of the new project our company recently developed?”

If this project was completed, the returns would be quite grand.

However, the downside was that this project was too huge. It would involve too many areas; be it funds or other aspects, Coleman Group couldn’t handle it alone.

“Not bad.” The cigarette was running out, so Christian tossed the cigarette butt into the ashtray.

Hearing that, the other people in the room had their own thoughts, but all of them were envious.

Not many projects could get Christian’s stamp of approval. Coleman Group had found itself on a cruise to great riches, and it would most likely earn a handsome profit within a year.

Glen couldn’t hide his glee either. If he managed to partner with Thatcher Group, he would be able to earn loads off this project.

Also, with one partnership established, even more partnerships would follow…

“However, the Thatcher Group has no intention of partnering up. My apologies.” Watching Glen’s gleeful expression, a dark light shone in the depths of Christian’s eyes as he spoke calmly.

Glen’s smile froze on his face, and it seemed like someone had splashed him with cold water from head to toe. In his desperation, he asked, “Since you think this project is alright, Mr. Thatcher, why are you reluctant to partner with me?”
