The head of the project department was bewildered.


    It was actually thetest research n for Hydrogen Fuel!


    He immediately snatched the project book from Keira’s hands and began to read.


    The project book didn’t detail the specific content of the research, but the topic was hot, something all


    companies wanted to engage in but were blocked by technological and capability barriers.


    He flipped through a few more pages, then became excited. “You’ve already developed results?”


    Keira nodded. “Indeed.”


    The project department head was instantly thrille and he eagerly grabbed Wayne’s arm, whispering,


    Davis, ourpany must not sever ties with Keera Technology! You have no idea how rare this project


    i Right now, many are desperate to break through this technology…”


    Before he could finish, Wayne frowned and


    interrupted coldly, “Brian, are you


    also been bought by these two?”


    confused? Have you


    Director Brian immediately waved his hands. “How could that be, Mr. Davis, don’t say that!”


    “Then why are you speaking on their behalf? A breach is a breach! Davis Corporation has always been


    fair and just, and we won’t bend thew for personal gain! They mustpensate the twenty million!”


    Director Brian panicked. “Mr. Davis, you don’t understand. The value of this n in my hands far


    exceeds twenty million! Currently, no one on the market has solved this problem! If otherpanies


    found out, they would surely rush to pay the twenty million for her!”


    Wayne didn’t believe it, thinking he was making a mountain out of a molehill. “Keera Technology is ju


    smallpany. Where did they get such an excelle n? If they had the capability to develop it, then w


    surely have it too! At worst, we’ll spend twenty millic to poach their entire research department!”


    Today, Wayne had made up his mind to teach Mary a


    lesson.


    There was no other choice.


    This niece of his was extremely pretty; if she could obediently assist him in socializing in the future,


    there wouldn’t be a man in nce who could resist her

    charm!


    Director Brian was anxious. “Mr. Davis, this n might not have been developed by their research


    department. Their core team has resigned, and they haven’t even hired new people yet… The only one


    who can solve this bottleneck is Dr. South, currently avable on the market.”


    Wayne scoffed. “Don’t exaggerate here. How can it only be Dr. South? Didn’t Keerae up with it?


    Brian, in this matter today, we absolutely must not show favoritism. She must be treated severely!”


    “But…”


    “There’s nothing to discuss!”


    Wayne banged the gavel, then looked at Mary, his li curving into a smile that smacked of victory. “Mary,


    this is just a lesson for you. If you disobey, your best friend could bepletely ruined. And if there is a


    next time, it could be your father, mother, or even


    your grandmother who gets hurt!”


    Mary clenched her fists. “You…”


    Wayne turned to Director Brian. “What are you dawdling for? Call security and have these two thrown


    out!”


    Director Brian reluctantly looked at the n in his hands. He wanted to speak, but Wayne immediately


    red at him. “What are you looking at? If you don’t obey, do you believe I can also kick you out?!”


    Director Brian believed it.


    Wayne was now the person in charge of the second branch of the family, and to show that the first


    branch didn’t resent the second branch entirely, the cop ny had given Wayne a high position.


    Therefore, Wayne had a lot of say in thepan


    He furrowed his brows tightly, but finally couldn’t saying, “Shouldn’t we consult Director Davis about


    this?”


    Ken Davis, the chairman and the person in charge of Davis Corporation, was from the first branch of


    the family and Wayne’s elder brother.


    Wayne sneered. “Brian, it seems you really don’t know your ce, do you? Does such a small matter


    need to bother my brother? I’m beginning to seriously doubt that you’re in league with them. Since


    you’re so ungrateful, submit your resignation immediately!”


    Director Brian’s expression turned bitter.


    He tried to exin. “Mr. Davis, I…”


    “What about you? Don’t try to pressure me with my brother! You think I’m scared of him?!”


    Wayne picked up the phone and dialed HR. “HR? Process Mary and Brian’s resignation immediately.


    Also, notify the legal department to expedite thewsuit against Keera Technology with the court!”


    Hearing this, Director Brian’s face turned pale.


    Mary immediately stepped forward. “Uncle, you…” “Is this a ce for you to speak?! Mary, you should


    know that whether it’s in thepany or at home, t more power you have, the more say you get!


    Withou capability, all you can do is obey!”


    Wayne approached Mary and pinched her chin. “And another thing… women must understand their


    worth.


    Do you think that by entering the research department you can be a scientist? I advise you to


    obediently go home and be your decorative vase!”


    Mary tried to break free from his grip, but her chin was pinched painfully, and she red hatefully at


    Wayne.


    Keira immediately stepped forward. “Let go!”


    She pushed Wayne away, freeing Mary from his grasp, then looked at her chin. “Mary, are you alright?”


    Before, Keira thought Mary was carefree every day and believed she was just a simple-minded young


    lady. She had no idea her family situation was soplicated!


    She brought an even better solution to discuss a partnership, all the while aiming to get Davis


    Corporation to drop thewsuit. Yet, she hadn’t aplished her goal!


    She scoffed and took Mary by the arm, facing Way “Are you sure you don’t want the n, then? If that


    the case, I’ll seek otherpanies to partner with, you’ll regret it!”


    Wayne sneered again. “A worthless n and you still


    want to talk about a partnership with otherpanies?! A project worth billions-think I’ll regret it! What


    kind of grand ims are you making here!” Keira looked down. “Alright, Mary, let’s go.”


    She could take the n to other corporations and demand a price in the hundreds of millions; it would


    be doable because conquering this challenge would lead to many coborative opportunities!


    It would ce the corporation’s new energy ventures far ahead of other corporations!


    The benefits it would bring in the future couldn’t even be measured in billions.


    Anyone who knew a bit about technology would understand this very clearly.


    That was why Director Brian kept pleading with Wayne, but to no avail, Wayne even fired him!


    Director Brian didn’t pack up his things but followed the two women out.


    Meanwhile.


    Ellis’s car had already arrived at the corporation’s building.


    Ken was a middle-aged man around fifty, belonging to one of the five major families. With a refined and


    schrly air, he personally came down to wee Ellis into the building after he got out of the car.
