A mischievous smile appeared on Abby''s face.


    "One of them was a client from Germany who hates people beingte. So, we devised a n to make Colemante, causing him to lose the deal, which we then


    snatched up."


    Ste had been trained by Joshua. Though she also couldn''t stand Coleman, she wouldn''t act just to annoy him or get even. As Ste put it: "Acting purely for revenge is childish. If you''re going to make a move, you''d be losing out if you don''t get something from it. If you tip him off, he''ll be on his guard next time, which puts us at a disadvantage. Getting even and gaining an advantage—that''s the only way it''s worth scheming against him."


    Ste was not only patient but also incredibly emotionally stable. They waited and waited, and finally, their chance came.


    At Abby''s words, Joshua said, "You caused a car ident?"


    Abby immediately got defensive. "Coleman must have told you that, right? That petty jerk, he''s been holding a grudge against Star ever since she took his deal and has been spreading all sorts of rumors to nder her. We didn''t do anything to him! Otherwise, the Williams family would have never let Star off so easily. They would have used it as an excuse toe after her. Star isn''t stupid enough to give them that kind of ammunition."


    Ste knew very well that they could fight amongst themselves all they wanted, but endangering someone''s life was out of the question. They would have no ground to stand on, neither with the Williams family nor with the shareholders of The Williams Group.


    Joshua yed along. "So what happened?"


    "There was a car ident, but we didn''t hit him. He rear-ended someone else," Abby exined.


    Causing a rear-end collision was incredibly simple; a sudden brake was all it took, and it was nearly impossible to avoid.


    Abby continued, "We hired a group of scoundrels. After Coleman hit their car, they swarmed him and refused to let him leave. Every time he tried to go, they would shout that he was trying to flee the scene. Even when he offered to pay them on the spot, it didn''t work. The scoundrels imed they were afraid he''d pay them off and then use them of extortion... A rich kid like Coleman has never dealt with a situation like that. They kept him tied up for two whole hours. After that, we used different tactics to snatch a few more of his deals... When Coleman found out we''d intercepted them all, he was furious. I think he despises us now."


    Joshua looked at Ste and smiled. "Well done, Star."


    Hearing Joshua''s praise, Ste''s heart inexplicably sped up.


    Abby smiled proudly, as if boasting about her own aplishments "Joshua, did you know? Just a little while ago, Star also secured a partnership with the Quinn family."


    Joshua''s eyes narrowed slightly. "The Quinn family?"


    Abby nodded emphatically. "ording to my research, the Quinn family has extraordinary influence among the major foreign families. I heard their family members marry into


    nov


    royalty—princesses, princes, even kings and queens We don''t have any personal connections with the


    Quinns, nor did we have apetitive edge, but for some reason, they specifically requested Star to lead the project."


    Joshua''s eyes deepened. "Whatever the reason, getting the opportunity is a good thing."


    Abby smiled. "That''s what we thought too. But while Star has handled some big projects since she started working, this was the first one of this magnitude."
