I was about to refute him when he interrupted me again.
"A project as large as the Bourdamun development landing in your hands, Chloe... Do you really believe it’s not because of the Beringer family's influence? You're just lucky, that's all!"
"Why do I have to ask you to help smooth things over? Isn't that a bit too much?" He gave me the impression that I was obligated to charge into battle for him.
I angrily cut him off. "Put away your petty mindset! I was able to be in charge of Bourdamun because of my capabilities.
“I worked hard to build my qualifications. It’s also because of my sincerity and perseverance in collaborating with ATL Empire to further Tanum's reputation. It's based on my hands-on approach, good quality, and reputation. No shortcuts… I despise those vile methods.”
That was when I realized that Matthew hated this standing the most. It was unlike him, who cut corners and had an extremely poor reputation.
"That is enough!" He said, “Don’t act all righteous. Could you honestly say you didn’t use the Beringer family's influence? Could you easily bring down Martin from Bourdamun?"
I was momentarily stunned.
I hadn't expected this guy to be so familiar with Bourdamun. I had underestimated him. It seemed there were many onlookers when I wanted to acquire it.
While working to secure Bourdamun, he was ostensibly paying attention to me, probably waiting for me to make a scene. I hadn't thought I would succeed, which perhaps shocked many people.
