Chapter 643 Chapter 643 Mr.


    Brunner, firste, first served


    Stevens Corporation approached you first, and we already had an agreement.


    How can you go back on your word? Christina tried to stay calm, though her anger simmered just beneath the surface.


    Aspens expression hardened as she spoke coldly.


    Mr.


    Brunner, doing business is about trust.


    Stevens Corporation partnering with you is a win win deal, but Rhodes Corporations Pharmaceutical Division is on itsst legs.


    I heard their forms were leaked, and the Weller family is squeezing them out.


    Theres no profit there anymore.


    Are you really going to abandon us for them? Please reconsider! Stephen sneered


    A bad move? Aspen, Ive been through hell and back in the real world while you little girl ying in the dirt.


    You think you can teach me whats right and wrong? were still He continued, Yes, your pharmaceutical project is impressive, but youve misunderstood something crucial.


    No matter how good your project is, can itpete with the influence of Mr.


    Lloyd, the king of Jayrodales underworld? Stephen leaned in slightly, his gaze sharp.


    Let me be blunt if Mr.


    Lloyd asked me to produce a pile of worthless crap, itd still be a once in a lifetime opportunity for me. Making Mr.


    Lloyd happy means everything


    You really think I care about a bit of profit when I have a chance to secure a rtionship like this? He let out a mockingugh, exhaling azy smoke ring as he leaned back in his chair.


    You see, for me, isnt about chasing money


    Its about building the right rtionships connections that can make me untouchable.


    business Aspen and Christinas faces darkened with fury and frustration.


    They could not believe Stephen had be so devoted to Andrew.


    It was like he saw Andrew as a father figure despite just getting beaten half to death by him moments ago


    How could someone change their mindset so drastically and so fast? Christina gritted her teeth.


    Mr.


    Brunner, I know Andrew well.


    Dont be fooled by his current sess


    Hes not someone capable of aplishing great things hes tooid back and weak willed.


    Aspen chimed in, You might not


    know


    es, but Andrews backed bet


    1


    Marvin, the wealthiest man in Jayrodale.


    Marvin is cunning and ruthless.


    For all you know, Andrew might just be a pawn in his game.


    Dn and Natasha dont really answer to Andrew they serve Marvin. Stephen chuckled darkly.


    Does that matter? Let me ask you both who ho holds the most power


    aristina frowned.  the officials in Jawer


    a frowned. Coet


    Obviously, its Mr.


    Thatcher


    Wrong, Completely wrong, Stephen said with a scoff.


    The real power lies with the mayors secretary the person who handles everything behind the scenes.


    By the same logic, even if Andrew is Marvins pawn, hes still someone worth currying favor with.


    I havent done anything wrong.


    Im just doing what anyone in my position would do.


    He paused, narrowing his eyes as he continued slowly


    And by the way, itd be wise not to spread rumors about Mr.


    Lloyd being a puppet.


    Ive met plenty of powerful figures in my time, but Mr.


    Llojd is different.


    He added, His presence is subtle yet oppressive.


    He doesnt unt his power, but its there calm and unshakable, like a mountain standing tall in a storm.


    Swnoet


    Thats not something you can fake.


    Christina let out a bitterugh.


    Mr.


    Brunner, youve barely known Andrew, but I was his ex.


    I know him better 1/2 Chapter 643 than you ever will.


    Trust me when I say, youre being deceived by appearances, Stephen nced at her coldly.


    And thats exactly why you, Ms.


    Christina, are stuck running a small corporation.


    You dont have what it takes to rise higher.
