In the space agency, a bunch of space bigwigs were holding a meeting in the conference room.
A man in a snazzy, high-priced suit was seated at the head of the table, his long legs crossed and leaning back into a leather chair.
His face was as if it was chiseled out of stone, flawless. He had chiseled features, a prominent nose, and sexy thin lips.
He had a pair of narrow, neat eyebrows, like they were meticulously trimmed, and long, thick lashes shielding his icy eyes.
He radiated not just a cold aura, but a powerful vibe of someone who had been in a high position for a long time, making people dare not look at him directly.
At that moment, he was caressing a scar on the palm of his right hand with his slender left hand.
The room was in a commotion, but he seemed oblivious, just looking down at his scar.
“Mr. Laurence, we developed this together, you can’t hog all the patent rights..."
Hearing someone address him, Bernard slowly lifted his head, looking at Peter, whose face turning red arguing with a guy from the Laurence Group.
Seeing Peter disturb their boss, the guy from the Laurence Group slammed his hand on the table and started yelling, “How dare you say we developed this together? For the past three months, our guys have been doing all the research. What have you been doing? You can’t even calculate basic data, and you want the patent?”
Bernard didn’t stop them, instead, he said to Peter, “How much do you want? Spit it out.”
Peter knew the Laurence Group was loaded. That was why he joined the project in the first place.
Now that Bernard saw through him, Peter didn’t hold back and blurted out, “Ten billion dollars!”
Hearing this, the guy from the Laurence Group was so enraged he was ready to throw hands.
Bernard didn’t stop them, and soon the room was in an uproar.
