Lifting a rock only to drop it on your own foot. It suits you perfectly." His jaw clenched, and his sharp gaze locked onto mine. "Ms. Sinclair, it's far too soon to jump to conclusions. 300 million is nothing to me. This battle between us is far from over." "Is that so?" I responded with a faint smile. "In that case, Mr. Lloyd, let's just wait and see." A crowd of reporters quickly surrounded Everett, bombarding him with questions. "Mr. Lloyd, what's your take on the situation?" one asked.
Another reporter spoke up bluntly, "On paper, BPL may have secured the Azure Bay project, but everyone knows Eclipse Group is the true winner here." Everett's face darkened.
Without answering, he let out a cold snort and turned to leave.

"What are you doing here? I was just about to find you," I said, blinking in surprise.
Caden's lips curved slightly. "What do you needfor?" Without hesitation, I opened the project proposal and pointed at the computer screen. My tone was cool and professional. "It's about the 'Ice and Fire' collection-a strategy for Heartstone Jewels." His expression shifted subtly. "So, you ctojust for business?" There was a trace of disappointment in his voice.
I arched a brow. "What else would it be?" Without waiting for a response, I began detailing the proposal.
"I intend to launch several exclusive pieces under the 'Ice and Fire' series, each featuring a distinct emblem as a signature touch. Quietly, I'll secure patents for these designs." I paused for a beat before continuing, "Heartstone Jewels will inevitably attempt to replicate our work, down to those symbols. The moment they do, we'll have legal grounds to retaliate. In short, it's a carefully laid trap. They'll walk into it willingly, and we'll take them down in one move. What do you think?" 1/2 Chapter 274 Just Wait and See +8 Pearls Caden's eyes narrowed. His voice was cold and firm. "It works." "Good. I'll have the team get started right away." Satisfied, I shut down my computer.

Today, when dealing with Everett, everything unfolded just as she had planned.
Even when Heidi secretly passed the bid price to BPL and tried to set her up, she had already foreseen it. She effortlessly turned the situation in her favor, as if controlling a chessboard.

As she moved toward the door, I stepped forward and pulled her into my embrace.
"What are you doing?" She frowned, her voice filled with confusion.
"Cwithto a place," I said, my tone low and firm.
Before she could respond, I took her hand and led her outside, guiding her into my dar without hesitation. "Where exactly are we going?" she asked, staring at the passing scenery with a puzzled look.
I glanced at her, my voice calm yet deep. "You'll know soon enough."
