Chapter 612: Evidence of Howard's Murder in Hand

"Exactly, Ethan. Those folks are already holding down key spots at the Raymond Group. Even if we could snag 'em, it wouldn't be cool." A bunch of top dogs from the Douglas Group were sweating bullets.

"Yeah, Ethan. Hiring them is like throwing down the gauntlet to the Raymond Group. A beef between them and the Douglas fam? Not a good look."

Ethan just sat there, grinning. "Y'all are overthinking this."

"Ethan, you might not get it. Brandon ain't the real boss of the Raymond Group. Just 'cause you're tight with him and he's got your back doesn't mean the Raymond Group

is all buddy-buddy with the Douglas Group," some business folks who rolled with Howard chimed in.

Ethan kept his mouth shut.

"Howard, you know who's really running the show at the Raymond Group?" someone asked, eyeballing Howard.

Howard just snorted and kept quiet, trying to throw everyone off.

Jasmine almost spit out her drink, shooting a look at Ethan.

Ethan gave Jasmine a knowing smirk.

"Mr. Douglas knows the real boss of the Raymond Group?" Betty strolled in, rocking a loose dress, looking all fancy, and not a hint of a baby bump.

Betty plopped down and grabbed an orange. "Howard, if you're so smart, how'd you end up signing that lopsided deal with the Raymond Group before?"

Betty had a way of dropping truth bombs, and with that, everyone who was roasting Ethan clammed up.

Howard's face got even darker, staying silent.

Betty leaned back in her chair. "Y'all seem to have a lot of free time. Any of you actually know the boss of the Raymond Group?"

"Betty, the Willer Group might be doing alright lately. But it ain't exactly outshining the Raymond Group, right?" someone from Howard's crew piped up. "So, Betty, you know the boss of the Raymond Group?"

Betty shot the guy a look. "Of course, I know him. And guess what? Y'all know him too."

"Say what?" A few folks exchanged glances and chuckled. "Betty, always cracking jokes."
