“Besides, Wallon Corporation is an established company. In many ways, they’re still a trustworthy and solid long–term partner. 

Hearing that, David had to admit it made sense 

And to think even someone fr 

from Vanguard Group came to persuade him–clearly, Walton Corporation had strong backing. 

In that case, he might as well agree. 

He had nothing to lose, and it’d count as doing Vanguard a favor. 

“Ainght then. Since it’s you, I’m willing to reopen discussions with them.” 

Desmond nodded in satisfaction. “By the way, don’t tell Miss Walton who helped her. Just say you had a change of heart on your own. Understood?”

He puzzled over that for quite a while, but no matter how he turned it over in his mind, he couldn’t figure it out. 

In the end, he stopped fixating on it. 

As long as he followed Vanguard’s advice, he trusted that their material supplier wouldn’t be at a disadvantage. 

On that point, David had full confidence.

She stared at the ceiling, her bright eyes blinking, now and then as she mentally replayed everything that had happened ly only to feel even more overwhelmed. 

She had a nagging feeling that something was off during her talk with David 

He seemed to be hiding something and there was definitely some resentment in histone 

But if she wanted answers, she’d have to dig them out herself. 

Just then, her phone rang a

Wait, what? 

David’s assistant? 

Aurora quickly accepted the contact request and typed back a message
