Zane continued, "And there are no obvious loopholes among the evidence we've gathered?"
The lawyer answered solemnly, "That's right."
Relieved, Zane gave Douglas a meaningful look and said, "We've already cut off all their possible fallbacks, anyway. Shall we publicly announce our newly established collaboration?"
Douglas nodded. "Yes."
Now that his services were no longer needed, the lawyer left without prompting. As for Douglas, he contacted his staff and told them to release a press statement claiming that they had secured a partnership with a giant corporation like Huxham Corporation.
Zane, too, informed the relevant staffers in Huxham Corporation to release a similar press statement.
Douglas couldn't help beaming at how things turned out.
As Zane sat down behind his desk, he eyed Douglas meaningfully and offered, "Your staff might not be adequately equipped to procure or handle a project of this scale. How about I send over a few of my staffers to lend you a hand?"
Douglas was taken aback by Zane's generosity. "That would be great!"
With Huxham Corporation's help, he was confident that the project would be executed smoothly. He was grinning from ear to ear when he left Zane's office.
Yvonne stood before the floor-to-ceiling windows as bitter resentment coursed through her.
Annalise had made a lot of money from her work because Zane had backed her up, yet the company expected Yvonne to bankroll Jessica on her paycheck. It was the most ridiculous thing she ever heard!
