Chapter 692: Raymond's brow furrowed in frustration. "It's a common saying that when the tree falls, the monkeys scatter. Yet, for Brandon to spearhead such a maneuver, especially considering he is Bryan's father... I...” He nearly cursed aloud.
"This might be a blessing in disguise," Eileen interjected. “Look into Brandon's recent dealings. See who he has been associating with. Even if we don't have concrete proof yet, find that person and try to uncover evidence of Brandon bribing them." If they were right, Brandon would be caught red-handed, breaking commercial law. Bryan had always suspected that Brandon would hold a grudge and seek revenge, but the rapid escalation with Coen had caught him off guard. He hadn't had the tto deal with Brandon.

"Get a few people together to join the dinner tonight with me," Eileen said. "I expect Jonathan will lay out his terms then. He can't monopolize this technology but might try to exploit any reluctance to unveil the product's features before the launch, aiming to squeeze out sadvantages."

Truett, a 45-year-old long-term employee at Apex Group, had climbed the ranks thanks to Brandon. Surprised by Raymond's appearance at his doorstep, Truett's initial shock soon morphed into a smile. "Raymond, to what do I owe the pleasure?” he asked casually.

As he entered, he noticed a small suitcase by the door, its zipper slightly open, revealing a glimpse of something greenish inside. Truett followed him in, swiftly grabbed the suitcase, and disappeared into a bedroom, shutting the door behind him. He then returned, gesturing for Raymond to take a seat.
"Raymond, I didn't expect you to visittoday. Unfortunately, I'm out of coffee beans, so you have to make de with water," Truett said, pouring a cup of warm water and handing it to Raymond. Raymond accepted the water and
