Chapter 8 The Very Survival of the Dunns

Noticing Alice's continued gloom, Zachary wiped the blood from his lip and continued, "Alice, are you worried about the Eastvale Ecological Project?

"There's no need for concern! My dad has already reached out to Daphne from Alphacrest Group.

"She mentioned that she might offer us a ten-billion-dollar stake in the Eastvale project.

"When the time comes, I'll speak with Ms. West and arrange for us to give the Millers a 30% share of our portion.

"As you know, Alphacrest Group primarily owns the Eastvale Ecological Project."

Alice's eyes sparkled with interest in this information.

Daphne from Alphacrest Group was a powerful figure, on par with Harmonfield's underground kingpin, Rygar!

She was Alice's idol and represented the kind of woman she aspired to be!

When Alphacrest Group first arrived in Harmonfield, Rygar attempted to stifle them.

However, within a month, all his efforts were in vain.

Instead, he had to personally apologize and agree to a truce.

From that point on, Alphacrest Group rapidly ascended in Harmonfield, with Daphne becoming one of the most enigmatic and formidable figures in the city's business community.

Alice asked, half in disbelief, "Mr. Gill, are you saying the Gills have really established contact with Ms. West from Alphacrest Group?"

Zachary, momentarily taken aback, smiled and replied, "Yes, Alice. So, we don't need to worry about the Dunns. Robin is just a lowly pauper compared to us."

The guests at the party were equally astonished by this revelation.
