The team members cheered.
Only Henry sat at the farthest end of the table. Despite his smiling face, he was not the
least bit happy.

understand. I’m confident that my proposal is more impressive than the Salvadors’. Once

That evening, Bella dined at a restaurant while Steven sorted out
paperwork in her office.
Once that was done, Steven dialed a number and left the office.

He knew that his every move would be captured by the cameras all around, but he had to
do it anyway because he was running out of time.

swiftly searched around Bella’s office.

was intense when she strutted into the office.
Her commanding presence rivaled that of a chief commander.
Henry shuddered at the sight of Bella. He would be lying if he said he was not afraid.

everything you own just by holding those few
pieces of paper.”
Steven scowled, his eyes flickering coldly. “It’s less than three years. imprisonment and
possibly a fine for causing massive loss for selling trade secrets. For more severe cases,
you can get 3 to 10 years of jail time.”
