A cruel smile curled the corners of Veronica Thorne's lips.
"I plan to designate Scarlett as the lead designer for this project. We'll offer them a generous profit margin, but bury traps in the contract. If the project is halted or delayed due to design flaws or insufficient preliminary assessments, she'll face a massive penalty for breach of contract..."
"This project looks glamorous, but it's a ticking time bomb. The site is dangerously close to The Breeze Pagoda, a national treasure that was just restored. Any construction is highly likely to cause ground subsidence, which could lead to the pagoda's collapse. The moment she takes over and signs those papers, she's doomed."
"The initial investment for this project is estimated at a billion dollars. Once things go south, she'll lose everything. With nowhere else to turn, she'll be like a stray dog, begging on her knees for your help."
"With my plan, you won't even have to show your face to ruin her career. However, my condition is that you also come in as an investor. We'll co-fund it... and of course, I won't let Scarlett know you're involved."
Yardley Flynn fell silent.
This woman was truly ruthless, coming up with such a vicious trap to force Scarlett into submission.
Knowing Scarlett, she would absolutely jump at this project. She had always been passionate about designing unique, distinctive ancient architecture. It was her dream.
But knowing this was a death trap, did he really want to push her over the edge?
A flicker of hesitation crossed his heart.
Just then, Melanie Flynn, who had been eavesdropping around the corner, stepped out, clapping her hands in poorly concealed excitement.
"Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!"
She hurried over to them, her eyes shining as she looked at Veronica. "Veronica, you really have an incredible mind. This is genius!"
