After taking the first step, Zephyr would not be far from taking his second and third steps.

He smiled while eating the ravioli with his head held low. It was the best shrimp ravioli that he had ever had!

A few days later…

Matthew brought up the matter of auctioning the land in Centrolis’ western suburb during the board of directors’ meeting.

“It’s almost ready now.” He looked at Liam, smiling, “The funds are coming in. The other companies are not our match!”

“Hmm.” Liam listened quietly. There was no expression on his experienced face. There was a layer of glaze on the walnut he had been playing with in his hand.

Just when Matthew was going on with the discussion, Liam coughed and asked in a deep voice, “I remember Zephyr made a proposal on this land as well!”

“Hah, yes!” Matthew inwardly cursed Zephyr. “I saw the proposal. It was flawless. You’ve done well training him!

“However…” Matthew sneered. “Dad, Zephyr is still young. Also, he’s lacking in gathering funds.”

“That’s right, sir!” Someone went along. “Although Mr. Z is capable, we need more than that in big projects. Experience of the elderly is vital!”

“I think the Vice President is more suitable than Mr. Z in this. We’ll be relieved if the Vice President takes over!”

“I heard Mr. Z is staying in Jangasas for a woman? Hah, young people are emotional! I’m afraid we’d be at a loss if an emotional person were to handle this project!”

Matthew raised his eyebrows, looking prouder and prouder.

Liam had been expressionless. Although he looked calm, he was upset that the matter about Zephyr and the woman was brought to the table.

He glared at Matthew. His piercing eyes gave people a chill.

He began to suspect whether it was a trap that the former had set. He had promised to get Marcus to remove Cordelia, but in reality, he had gotten that woman to continue charming Zephyr?

Liam hit the ground with his cane. Its low thud silenced the big meeting room instantly.

“Seems like all of you have come to a conclusion? So, Vice President Hamerton will be handling the project?”

The people in the meeting looked at each other. They shut their mouths.

Matthew noticed that something was off. Just when he was going to fend for himself, the meeting room’s door suddenly opened.

Soon, someone served a plate of shrimp ravioli.
