187 Chapter 187

187.Chapter 187

While Mr. Kingston was still in disbelief, Alaric had already turned his gaze to Ophelia, his cold expression softening into something polite and friendly. “Ms. Draven, have you given any thought to our partnership?”

Ophelia raised an eyebrow at Alaric. ‘Wow, he’s really selling it. If I didn’t know better, I’d think he was actually desperate to team up with me,’ she thought.

But she knew Alaric was backing her up, so she went along with it smoothly. “I’m still thinking about it.”

As soon as she said that, the air seemed to freeze. Everyone was stunned.

Everyone was thinking: ‘What the hell just happened?!’

That girl who looked like just another intern was actually Rowan Draven, the business prodigy who’d been making money hand over fist with every investment she touched these past few years.

And Alaric, the cold, domineering, and insanely rich guy, was actually dialing back his usual aura in front of her. He was even eager to team up with Rowan.

This legendary investment genius was truly something else.

People might not believe anyone else, but when it comes to Alaric, his word is gold.

Mr. Kingston’s legs went weak, and he almost collapsed right there. Regret hit him so hard his eyes were practically tearing

He knew he’d backed himself into a corner with Rowan. There was no way out now. He rushed to apologize.

“Ms. Draven, I didn’t recognize greatness when I saw it. I honestly had no idea you were Ms. Draven! Please, don’t hold it against me…” Mr. Kingston was mentally kicking himself. He didn’t care about his status in Dunhollow anymore; all he wanted was to stay in Rowan’s good graces.

He’d always known Rowan was a force to be reckoned with. When she shot down his partnership offer, he got petty and tried to teach her a lesson. Giving Ella a hard time earlier was just his way of trying to use industry connections to pressure Rowan into helping him.

But he never imagined even Alaric Caldwell would be seeking a partnership with Rowan. That just proved how formidable she really was.

Watching Alaric stand up for Rowan, Mr. Kingston realized just how reckless he’d been today. He’d managed to piss off not one, but two titans. And there was no way he was getting out of this unscathed.

“It doesn’t matter. Whether you offended me or not, Kingston Group is done for,” Ophelia said coldly, her eyes like ice as she pronounced their doom.

She was the trendsetter in the investment world. If she said Kingston Group was finished, who would dare invest in them? Putting money into Kingston Group now was basically begging to lose it all.

Mr. Kingston’s face turned ashen. He knew that with just a single sentence from Rowan, it was game over for him.

No matter how deep his background or how many years he’d spent building his network, right now, nobody would ever risk investing in him again.

Alaric shot Mr. Kingston a cold, commanding look. “Looks like you’ve got no business hanging around the finance circle anymore. You’d better go home and deal with your mess. So, are you leaving on your own, or do I need to have someone kick you out?”

After Mr. Kingston dared to mess with his people, Alaric saw no reason to show him any courtesy.

“I…” Mr. Kingston tried to beg, but when he met Alaric’s icy stare, he couldn’t help but swallow nervously. His heart sank, and hopelessness washed over him.

There was no way he’d ever get another investment. If he pissed off Alaric any further, he’d be lucky to even find a shack to live in Dunhollow. Gritting his teeth, he knew he was finished.

“I’ll leave myself,” Mr. Kingston muttered, utterly defeated, and walked out like a man whose soul had just been crushed. He was out of options. He’d hoped to find another way, but in the end, he’d shot himself in the foot and killed his own chances.

It was all his own fault for not seeing what wa: Successfully unlocked! realized that girl was actually Rowan Draven
