Chapter 511

After breaking ties with Alvin, Aubree learned from Bowen that Turner Group’s new internship program was now under Alvin’s control. They would recruit first- and second–year university students. Using his privileged identity, he had essentially won over the hearts of the company’s fresh blood

Even Bowen had to admit. “He is truly a Turner. He was assigned to a grassroots position, and he went ahead and took control of the entire grassroots force.”

“Aren’t you afraid he’ll take your position one day?” Aubree gave him a sidelong glance.

There was more to this than just an apology.

Darius was afraid Aubree and Bowen would bear a grudge, so he bowed his head first to express his stance and test Aubree’s attitude. If she accepted, there’d still be room for cooperation.

So the Walton family’s invitation was one she had to accept.

This time, to host Aubree, Darius pulled out all the stops. He chose a well–known farm–to–table restaurant in Rithol City.
