Bernie looked dejected after hanging up the phone.

Judging from the phone calls and his expressions, Fiona understood the Lind family’s company was in trouble, just like last time.

“Bernie, what’s going on?” Fiona walked to him and held the handle of the carved sandalwood chair with a trembling hand.

Hearing that, Bernie glared at Fiona and slammed his fist on the wooden table beside him. “Did you do something again?” he growled. “They’re saying we have offended someone powerful. All the partnering companies have called me to terminate the collaboration with us.”

Maybe you’ve offended someone during one of your business deals,” Fiona explained in an aggrieved voice. Her knuckles turned white as she gripped the chair to hold back her fear and guilt.
