Chapter 316

“Mr. Foster.” I greeted Ethan Foster with a hint of a formal smile and shook his hand.

He had made a name for himself in politics and was the top dog at FarHorizon Group.

Ethan Foster smiled back, exuding an aura that made me feel a tad intimidated.

*Please, have a seat. I’m expecting another friend shortly. His voice was gentle, but I could sense a bit of coldness in it.

“Sure thing.” I plopped myself on the couch, casually setting my bag to the side.

Ethan Foster wasn’t much of a chatterbox. He had a chill demeanor, didn’t put on airs, and even poured me a glass of wine himself. When he spoke, his pace was slow and steady

Every time I thought about the harm this guy had caused my father, a fire of anger burned within me, but there was no way to vent it out.

Ethan Foster made it clear that FarHorizon Group wanted to partner with our company and laid out all the perks that would come with it. If it weren’t for Neil telling me the truth earlier, I would have been totally swayed by him.

In the midst of our chitchat, the door to the room was nudged open, and who should walk in but Russel.

“Dr. Russel, you’ve arrived.” Ethan Foster greeted Russel with even more warmth.

Russel was decked out in a black sweater and a brown jacket. His gaze swept over me, and his usually expressionless face revealing a hint of surprise.

I could do nothing but look away.

“Ms. Finch, I’m quite close with Dr. Russel’s father. I’ve been feeling a bit under the weather lately, so he’s agreed to give me some medical advice. You don’t mind, do you?” Ethan Foster started to get a bit chatty, all the while maintaining his friendly smile..

“No, I don’t mind.” I replied, just to play along.
