Betrayed, But Not Defeated novel Chapter 170

To outsiders, the backlog of goods might seem like a minor issue, but if not dealt with, it could easily bring down an entire company.

If Daniel were to step in and absorb this stock, he could effectively take control of the entire herbal market. From that point onward, anyone trying to leverage the supply chain against him would be virtually powerless.

Oscar was extremely skilled in handling matters. After Howard and Bryson left, he quickly pacified the Herbal Association and managed to acquire the herbal goods at a relatively low price.

Although some were dissatisfied, they had no other choice. They had backed the wrong side, and now the best they could hope for was to extricate themselves from the situation, ensuring their company could survive without financial issues.

With these two problems resolved, Ernest's attempt to use Bryson to create trouble for Daniel was completely thwarted. Not only had it failed, but Daniel had turned the tables and taken control of the Herbal Association through his strategic moves.

Reading the text message on his phone, Ernest couldn't help but sigh softly. "What a talent. It seems I've underestimated him!"

"Mr. Crane, should we—" His subordinate stepped forward.

Ernest shot him a glare. "If we could easily solve this with force, what did you think we were doing all this for? Next time, think before you speak."

"Yes, Mr. Crane!" The subordinate wiped the sweat from his forehead before saying, "Bryson is calling again, saying he can't hold on anymore."

"Oh, he can't?" Ernest snickered and said, "Tell him that he'll take responsibility for the company losses, including paying off all the debts in full. Otherwise, expect to serve time."

"Roger that!" The subordinate was familiar with his arrangement, quickly affirming and leaving the room.

When Bryson received Ernest's response, he saw his last sliver of hope diminishing. "No, I can't go to jail! That's right… I can't go to jail!"

At that thought, a flash of cold malice crossed Bryson's eyes.
