Ex-husband’s Regret (Ryan and Charlotte) novel Chapter 452

Chapter 452 

Unexpectedly, Frank’s expression remained unchanged, and the smile at the corner of his mouth deepened into a smirk as he mocked, “Are you so sure that Ryan will cooperate with you?” 

“He might not want to cooperate with me.” Lucas was confident. “But if he does cooperate, it would help me deal with you, my rival.” 

Ryan wouldn’t even need to do anything himself. 

As long as he gave Lucas a contract, Lucas would act as Ryan’s pawn, making Frank back down step by step. 

Lucas thought that the SZ Technology, no matter how impressive, had only emerged in the past two years and was far behind the RF Group. 

Frank sneered. “Don’t get ahead of yourself. If you keep boasting, you might end up with no retreat and have to swallow your words.” 

“What do you mean?” 

“I have some news that hasn’t been announced yet.” 

Frank sat on the sofa, leisurely watching the Smith family father and son, and said, “the SZ Technology and the RF Group have just signed a strategic cooperation agreement.” 

He crossed his legs, tapping his knee with his index finger rhythmically, appearing calm and collected.

It would be crazy. 

Luke, now unable to remain calm, disregarded the family dinner and said, “Both of you, come upstairs with me!” 

This project not only involved billions in losses but also the future development prospects of the Smith family for the next decade. 

With intense competition in every industry, a project’s failure could lead to permanent disconnection. 

“I’d rather not.” 

Frank remained unmoved, looking coldly at Luke as if he were a stranger. “I don’t have much time. I can only give you half an hour. After half an hour, I won’t be solving this problem even if you want me to.”
