From Ashes of Scandal to His Embrace (Laurinda) novel Chapter 303

“Yes, the news is out. He’s not just selling his tech company, but also a few unfinished projects and the whole technical team, all bundled together.”

Laurinda just laughed. Finn’s tech team never impressed her. Honestly, she thought some fresh college grads had more talent than those guys.

“I doubt anyone’s going to buy his company.”

“Exactly. Ever since FarrVector took off, everyone can see the difference between them and The Gates Group. People finally get that The Gates Group is all about appearances, with nothing real behind it. Who’d want to buy something so useless?”

“And those projects he’s trying to offload… even a stray dog would walk away. Only a real fool would go for them.”

Laurinda could tell from his tone that someone had already fallen for it. She looked at him, surprised.

“Wait… are you telling me Baal is interested?”

Adolphus grinned, snapping his fingers. “Right on. Baal’s thinking about buying it, but Finn doesn’t want to sell to him. They’re at a standoff.”

Hearing this, Laurinda lost her cool. She suddenly regretted ever agreeing to work with Baal.

“No way. I have to call him. We’re still working on a project together, and if he wants to go down with this, he’s not taking me with him.”

She hurried into the villa, heading straight for the study.

When Baal picked up Laurinda’s call, he sounded surprised. Once he heard why she was calling, he went quiet. He hadn’t expected her to find out so quickly.

“Laurinda, let me explain. The real founder of The Gates Group wasn’t Finn, it was Abbott. Abbott was my friend, and now that I’m finally able to, I want to take over the company for him.”

“He and I searched for a way out together, but he never made it back. He didn’t leave much behind. This company is the only thing of his I can keep.”
