tier families would no longer be a mere dream!

“T-The contract…” Donovan stuttered. Then, he suddenly turned to Ben with a frown and said,

“Something’s not right. How could I not know about such a major development? Who’s in charge of this

project? Isn’t this Zoe’s department? Why didn’t she inform me? What is happening?”
