From Ashes of Scandal to His Embrace (Laurinda) novel Chapter 315

“No, I’ve already dropped the idea of acquiring The Gates Group. You were right. Right now, they’re at a turning point, and I can’t let my own impulses mess up the bigger picture.”

“I’ve also realized something. The Gates Group isn’t the same tech company the three of us started together. Things have changed. We can’t go back to the way it was.”

Laurinda felt a wave of relief. Maybe Baal still had some sense left in him. She didn’t need to write him off just yet.

“Glad you’re seeing things clearly. So, is that all you came here to talk about?”

Baal shook his head. “Not at all. I got an email this morning, and I couldn’t wait to talk to you about it. I happened to be nearby, so I just came over. Here, take a look.”

He handed his phone to Laurinda. She scrolled through the email, her brows knitting together. Then she handed the phone to York. York read it in silence, his face growing more serious.

“How confident are you?” York asked, passing the phone back to Baal.

Baal let out a breath. “Honestly, not at all. I’m still pretty new to this industry. There’s no way I could handle this project. But I think this is a shot at saving the Gates family. I just want to block them from getting that chance. I don’t want Finn to have any opportunity to turn things around.”

Laurinda understood right away. She paused to think, her mind drifting to the Brown family and the Douglas family. Both would be a good fit for this project, and Cabinda was a much more promising market than Apex.

“If you want to keep the Gates family from getting ahead, you don’t have to force it yourself. No point going after something you’re not sure about. I already have someone in mind for this project, but I’m not sure if you’d be willing to hand it over.”

Baal nodded, not hesitating for a second. “Of course. This project was never really mine. I just heard about it before everyone else. My only goal is to keep Finn from landing a deal with Northland.”

“Alright, then send me the email. I’ll forward it to the right person.”
