The lawyer answered solemnly, "That's right."

Relieved, Zane gave Douglas a meaningful look and said, "We've already cut off all their possible fallbacks, anyway. Shall we publicly announce our newly established collaboration?" Douglas nodded. "Yes."

How about I send over a few of my staffers to lend you a hand?" Douglas was taken aback by Zane's generosity. "That would be great!"

With Huxham Corporation's help, he was confident that the project would be executed smoothly. He was grinning from ear to ear when he left Zane's office.
