Chapter 189: Chapter 189: Preston Vance is Assassinated

Once it was acquired, the company would lose all its autonomy, transforming from an independent entity into just another department of the Grant Group.

He wasn’t keen on agreeing.

But Grant Corporation had made it clear: if they didn’t agree to the acquisition, Grant would pull its funding and cancel all future collaborations.

The boss was at his wit’s end and, in the end, could only agree.

While the acquisition of the voice-acting company was in full swing, Walker Grant had already arrived at the restaurant where Chloe Reed and her party were dining.

They had entered a private room, so Walker Grant, his face grim, requested the one right next to it.

The spacious private room felt vast and empty. Its soundproofing wasn’t very good, and faint sounds drifted through.

Occasionally, he could hear her cheerful laughter.

Walker Grant sat in his chair, listening to the laughter coming from the other side of the wall. The fire in his chest burned hotter and hotter.

Chloe Reed faltered. ’Are we really friends yet?’

But Preston Vance just smiled warmly and nodded. "You’re right. I agree it feels a bit too formal."
