A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 1398

The conference room was suddenly so silent one could hear a pin drop.

The board seemed to think they were hearing things and held their breaths in fear that they were dreaming.

Ryan, however, was thoroughly skeptical that the eternally bratty, useless Sam could secure the joint venture.

Nonetheless, Sam repeated sonorously so that everyone could hear him clearly, "Damian Craig has agreed to our joint venture, and he will be present when we sign the agreement next Wednesday, after which we would go into details regarding the joint venture."

"For real?!" Gilbert exclaimed, his voice almost shaking even though he was the first to come to his senses.

The rest of the board was looking at Sam in disbelief. They—including Marvin—were convinced that the new energy car project was a lost cause, and scrapping it was inevitable to prevent further loss of capital should they fail to secure the joint venture. None of them would find the losses regrettable either, because it was a strategic withdrawal given the circumstances.

They all knew how difficult it would be to secure a joint venture involving transnational technological exchange either and with a rival of sorts.

It was therefore unthinkable that Sam made it work anyway!

"That's what Damian said when he called me just now." Sam shrugged just then.

"I… I don't know what to say!" Gilbert was speechless in thrill.

The other board members joined in to offer their praise too.

"Well done, Sam!"
