The Unveiled Rose

Douglas had felt sorry for Sasha previously.

She tried humbling herself and worked hard to chase after Zane. Yet Zane remained unmoved.

After discussing the project with Zane today, he suddenly realized Zane was someone Sasha would never be able to handle.

Sasha tilted her chin, looking incredibly proud. "Of course! Why would I choose her to be my good friend when I could have so many others?"

Douglas sighed. "You've always had terrible judgment when it comes to friends. But this time, you've done well. You've found the right ones, and they're all influential people."

Sasha awkwardly chuckled. She wanted to tell her father that her judgment had never been good!

She considered Annalise a romantic rival in the beginning.

Sasha narrowed her eyes. The friends she had picked were all bad choices. But surprisingly, the people she didn't like turned out to be alright. Maybe she should only pick friends from people she disliked in the future. Douglas patted her on the shoulder. "You should cherish these friends."

Sasha's expression became serious. "Don't worry, Dad, I will!"

Douglas stopped at the entrance and said to Sasha, "You should go back to work."

Sasha stood still.

He waved at her, then left.

Once Sasha returned to the office, she immediately sat beside me and asked, "Did you understand what they were discussing earlier?"

They had used a bunch of technical terms.

Sasha had been confused for a long time and still didn't understand what they really meant.

Sensing her curiosity, I slowly explained, "To sum it up simply, it's about your dad pushing the project forward as usual. Once the funds run out, the other party will find an excuse to pull out.

"At that point, your dad should hire a lawyer and ask the other party about the project's future and whether they plan to walk away from it. If they want to force your dad into a compromise, they'll definitely say yes. "Then your dad will ask about the previous investments. They'll most likely consider it a loss."

I sat sideways, watching Sasha across from me. "At this point, your dad can bring in Zane's investment."

Sasha finally understood. "So, if it comes to that, does that mean the previous investments were basically a steal for us?"

I nodded. "That's what's likely to happen, but Zane will probably teach them a lesson, then find an opportunity to return the money they invested."

Sasha didn't understand. "Why?"

The other party had such bad intentions, trying to bankrupt her family. She felt they should pay some price for it.

I chuckled. "In business, making too many enemies is never a good thing. If something terrible happens to the Huxham Corporation in the future, people will take the chance to bring them down. So, it's better not to go too far in most cases." Sasha mumbled softly, "But they're going too far."

I carefully chose my words. "If hurting them once could cause their company to collapse, maybe we could do it your way. But in reality, even if we take their money, it wouldn't have a big impact on them." Sasha said reluctantly, "Fine."

It seemed her family was just too weak. The other party wouldn't dare to scheme against her family like this if they were more powerful.

Sasha suddenly seemed to think of something and looked at Zane. "I just realized he's quite cunning, isn't he?"

I couldn't help but laugh. "What made you suddenly realize this?"

Sasha turned to me and said, "I was just casually venting about that man pressuring marriage earlier, and he immediately came up with such a perfect plan?"
