Rising from the Ashes BY Only For You Novel

Chapter 643 Chapter 643 Mr.

Brunner , first come , first served .

Stevens Corporation approached you first , and we already had an agreement .

How can you go back on your word ? Christina tried to stay calm , though her anger simmered just beneath the surface .

Aspens expression hardened as she spoke coldly .

Mr.

Brunner , doing business is about trust .

Stevens Corporation partnering with you is a win win deal , but Rhodes Corporations Pharmaceutical Division is on its last legs .

I heard their formulas were leaked , and the Weller family is squeezing them out .

Theres no profit there anymore .

Are you really going to abandon us for them ? Please reconsider ! Stephen sneered .

A bad move ? Aspen , Ive been through hell and back in the real world while you little girl playing in the dirt .

You think you can teach me whats right and wrong ? were still He continued , Yes , your pharmaceutical project is impressive , but youve misunderstood something crucial .

No matter how good your project is , can it compete with the influence of Mr.

Lloyd , the king of Jayrodales underworld ? Stephen leaned in slightly , his gaze sharp .

Let me be blunt if Mr.

Lloyd asked me to produce a pile of worthless crap , itd still be a once in a lifetime opportunity for me .

Making Mr.

Lloyd happy means everything .

You really think I care about a bit of profit when I have a chance to secure a relationship like this ? He let out a mocking laugh , exhaling a lazy smoke ring as he leaned back in his chair .

You see , for me , isnt about chasing money .

Its about building the right relationships connections that can make me untouchable .

business Aspen and Christinas faces darkened with fury and frustration .

They could not believe Stephen had become so devoted to Andrew .

It was like he saw Andrew as a father figure despite just getting beaten half to death by him moments ago .

How could someone change their mindset so drastically and so fast ? Christina gritted her teeth .

Mr.

Brunner , I know Andrew well .

Dont be fooled by his current success .

Hes not someone capable of accomplishing great things hes too laid back and weak willed .

Aspen chimed in , You might not know this , but Andrews backed by Marvin , the wealthiest man in Jayrodale .

Marvin is cunning and ruthless .

For all you know , Andrew might just be a pawn in his game .

Dylan and Natasha dont really answer to Andrew they serve Marvin .

Stephen chuckled darkly .

Does that matter ? Let me ask you both who holds the most power among the officials in Jayrodale ? Christina frowned .

Obviously , its Mr.

Thatcher .

Wrong , Completely wrong , Stephen said with a scoff .

The real power lies with the mayors secretary the person who handles everything behind the scenes .

By the same logic , even if Andrew is Marvins pawn , hes still someone worth currying favor with .

I havent done anything wrong .

Im just doing what anyone in my position would do .

He paused , narrowing his eyes as he continued slowly .

And by the way , itd be wise not to spread rumors about Mr.

Lloyd being a puppet .

Ive met plenty of powerful figures in my time , but Mr.

Llojd is different .

He added , His presence is subtle yet oppressive .

He doesnt flaunt his power , but its there calm and unshakable , like a mountain standing tall in a storm .

Thats not something you can fake .

Christina let out a bitter laugh .

Mr.

Brunner , youve barely known Andrew , but I was his ex .

I know him better 1/2 Chapter 643 than you ever will .

Trust me when I say , youre being deceived by appearances , Stephen glanced at her coldly .

And thats exactly why you , Ms.

Christina , are stuck running a small corporation .

You dont have what it takes to rise higher .
