Chapter 23
Chapter 23 Sadie spoke coldly in a stern tone. “You don‘t get to talk here, Yarde!”Miles smiled widely and behaved as if he was standing up for Kayson. “That‘s not right, Ms. Wolfenden. Since Mr. Yarde is attending the boardroom meeting, he also has a right to speak,“Ms. Wolfenden‘s remark is quite hurtful, isn‘t it?”Sadie clenched her fists tightly in a fury! Who would want to sign a project with The Tetrad in view of their impressive reputation?Kayson was clueless! “Ms. Wolfenden, I think Mr. Lawson makes a good point. The Tetrad must produce results in order to convince the crowd.” Kayson spoke extremely seriously as if he could not understand Sadie‘s intention. Miles smiled widely. “I admire an ambitious person like you. If The Tetrad can sign a project worth more than $3,000,000 within a month…“I shall acknowledge The Tetrad‘s value and promise that I won‘t ever mention abolishing The Tetrad anymore from then on.“However, I want The Tetrad to achieve it through their hard work and not through someone else‘s help in secret.”Kayson nodded and said nonchalantly, “That‘s settled then.”Miles chuckled and said in a bantering tone, “Sure.”Sadie‘s expression was unpleasant beyond recognition. She glared at Kayson ferociously as if she wanted to cut him into a thousand pieces.Miles was in a great mood after seeing Sadie‘s expression. He asked smilingly, “Is the meeting adjourned, Ms. Wolfenden?” Sadie inhaled a deep breath. “Meeting adjourned!” The crowd packed up their belongings on the table and got up to leave in succession. Miles made his way to the door and turned around to look at her as if he was mocking her.” Remember, Ms. Wolfenden. Tomorrow‘s the deadline Mr. Gustin gave us.” Upon saying that, the CFO left the boardroom proudly. “Are you sick in your head or something!?” Sadie was so furious that she berated Kayson on the spot. “No, I‘m in the pink of health,” said Kayson. “You‘re in the pink of health? I can see that you‘re really sick in your head! Kayson, don‘t you know that Miles can‘t possibly abolish The Tetrad no matter how rampant he is? “The company‘s board of directors founded The Tetrad! Miles is only using The Tetrad to attack me!“Yet, what did you do? You wagered a bet that you can‘t accomplish, and as a result, ‘The Tetrad will be dismissed because of your impulsiveness. Will the board of directors put the blame on Miles? No!“The board of directors will put the blame on you bunch of idiots!” Other than that, the dismissal of The Tetrad would also put her in trouble.However, she did not tell Kayson about that.Kayson was not planning on infuriating her further after noticing how furious she was. He smiled and said, “That‘s great too. I can leave the company if The Tetrad is dismissed. You won‘t be bothered about seeing me in the company anymore.” Sadie was stunned when she heard that.Meanwhile, Kayson walked out of the meeting room with a calm expressionAfter a while, Sadie recovered from her surprise and scolded under her breath, “B*st*rd! You‘re the most annoying person!” She returned to her office and said to her secretary, “Make an appointment with Archer Gustin, the chief of the quality control department, to meet tonight!Miles took a seat on the office chair with a smile on his face in his officeThe office door was knocked, and Miles answered in a joyous tone, “Come inRiver walked into the office and asked in puzzlement, “Is Archer truly capable of finishing offSadie?”Miles smiled nonchalantly. “Of course. Archer has a backer.”River furrowed his eyebrows and said, “The board of directors will protect her.”“Hah–hah, Mr. Snyder…” Miles suddenly burst out laughing aloud, “Who‘s going to protect Sadie when The Tetrad is dismissed?“I‘m grateful that Kayson wagered the bet with me. Otherwise, I might not be able to abolish The Tetrad!”Even though The Tetrad was regarded as garbage, Miles did not have an excuse to abolish The Tetrad because they had never accomplished anything nor committed any significant mistake all this time!However, there was no need for him to be troubled about how to take out The Tetrad anymoreNow Reva brought a cup of coffee to Kayson as soon as he returned to the office.“Thanks,” said Kayson. Reva, Natalie, and the others approached Kayson with the former asking out of curiosity, “Mr. Kace, what was the meeting about?” Kayson briefed Reva, Natalie, and the others about the meeting. Their faces turned pale with fear instantly“Mr. Kace… A project that‘s worth $3,000,000?” asked Natalie stutteringly.Kayson nodded.Six of the rich brats labeled as ‘deadbeats‘ and ‘parasites‘ fell to the floor simultaneously as their knees buckled.They looked as if they were tormented. “A project worth $300,000… How can that be possible…” muttered Natalie in a daze. After taking in their dejection, Kayson could not help asking, “Is that so difficult? We‘ll just need to work harder, right?”Reva pulled a long face and said, “You think too kindly of us, Mr. Kace. The Tetrad of Wolfenden Corp‘s project department is famed for its bad reputation…“Everyone knows that The Tetrad is made up of a bunch of useless rich brats. No one‘s going to task us with a project…”Kayson frowned. So, that turns out to be the case. It‘s no wonder Miles pledged in all seriousness as if it would be impossible for me to accomplish the mission.‘ “We‘re doomed… If I can‘t even survive in The Tetrad, my dad is going to criticize me for my failure in being a deadbeat.”The face of the young woman named Quincy Dunn was pale as ash.The rest of the people looked like they were about to die upon hearing that.Noticing the situation, Kayson comforted them by saying, “There‘s no need to worry too much. The Tetrad may not necessarily be dismissed. I will take sole responsibility for the matter:“If I don‘t achieve the target by then, I will seek the chairman‘s help to retain The Tetrad.” Their eyes lit up instantly upon hearing that, and they looked up. “Are you for real, Mr. Kace?”Kayson nodded. “Yes. Don‘t worry!” They all expressed their joy as if they were celebrating their survival. They were not concerned about Kayson for the slightest bit because no one could harm Kayson when he had the chairman‘s protection.

“Ms. Wolfenden‘s remark is quite hurtful, isn‘t it?”
Sadie clenched her fists tightly in a fury! Who would want to sign a project with The Tetrad in view of their impressive reputation?
Kayson was clueless!
“Ms. Wolfenden, I think Mr. Lawson makes a good point. The Tetrad must produce results in order to convince the crowd.” Kayson spoke extremely seriously as if he could not understand Sadie‘s intention.
