"Fat Lawler, this is unacceptable," Sophia objected. "We invested a lot in these mines, hoping for significant profits. Selling them at such a low price now will lead to substantial losses. Moreover, the critical issue is... we still owe money to the bank!"
"What can you do about it?" Fat Lawler flicked his used cigarette butt into the ashtray, his smile carrying a hint of mockery. "By the way, wasn't this your idea from the beginning? I remember Mr. Bayer wasn't very interested in these two mines, was he?"
"You..."
Fat Lawler's expression became a bit more serious. "Mr. Bayer, you doubt your own judgment and instead believe in a woman who climbed her way up through shameless means. You brought upon yourself the losses you're facing."
"What are you saying?!" Sophia stood up suddenly, her eyes blazing with anger.
Fat Lawler looked at her sharply, and his subordinates in the room moved closer. Sophia's fiery temper was quickly extinguished.
"Mr. Bayer, would you like to know who this buyer is?"
Graham remained silent.
Fat Lawler signaled his men to escort the buyer into the room, and Graham was surprised to see that it was Daniel and... Maisie?!
He jumped to his feet, accidentally knocking over dishes and cutlery on the table.
Daniel held Maisie's hand and gave her a gentle smile. He pulled out a chair for her and then sat down beside her.
"Do you not know them, Mr. Bayer?" Fat Lawler asked with a smirk. "Do I need to make introductions?"
