Easton pulled the ashtray closer and tapped his cigarette. “That’s right. However, getting the contract signed is up to you. Just make sure Crestview Group’s port project runs without a hitch for the next three years.”

Kevin couldn’t help but sneak a look at Easton, still a bit stunned. He’d always heard that Easton and Sophia had been married, but the gossip was that Easton couldn’t stand her.

However, after working with Easton for the past six months, Kevin realized that Easton wasn’t nearly as cold toward Sophia as everyone said.

On the contrary, there was something undeniably complicated between them.

“I get it, Mr. Foster. Everwell International is your own business, and since it’s always been focused on exports, switching to supply only the Crestview Group won’t really affect things.

“I’ll take care of everything, don’t worry. And I’ll update the contract so the legal entity is the Menolia branch,” Kevin said.

Easton nodded. “If Ms. Roth asks why Everwell International picked Crestview Group, just come up with something to tell

her.”

Easton wanted to help out behind the scenes. No need for anyone to know it was him. Kevin understood perfectly.

After Easton left, Kevin made arrangements for Everwell International’s operations manager to get in touch with Crestview Group once the New Year break was over. He carefully explained every detail of the partnership, making sure they left no room for mistakes.

Easton didn’t want to make it obvious that he was helping Crestview Group. He knew Sophia might start overthinking things, or worse, act out of spite and put Crestview Group in jeopardy just to get back at him.

No matter his reasons, he didn’t want Sophia to feel burdened or weighed down if she ever learned the truth.

It was at the Weston residence.

Catherine couldn’t hide her joy. Her eldest son, Alex, had finally come back.

Ever since Nicolas’s accident sent the Weston Group into a tailspin, Catherine had basically been hiding out at home, too embarrassed to show her face in public, worried those high-society ladies would laugh at her.

But now that her favorite son was home again, her spirits were soaring.

“Alex, you’re incredible! You’ve only been back a few days, and you already snatched Crestview Group’s partner right out from under them. You have no idea how much trouble Sophia caused us six months ago when she helped Crestview Group steal our port project.

“We lost so many big clients because of her. Then your brother got dragged into all that mess, and the Roth family jumped in again, nearly bankrupting us.

“I hate them so much. But now that you’re back, you have to help our family, help your brother get revenge. Don’t let a single one of those Roths get away with it,” Catherine said, her words sharp and full of venom.

She spat out the words through gritted teeth, her hatred for the Roth family practically radiating off her.

Alex set his glass down. “Mom, if you think taking a couple of their partners is worth celebrating, you’re way too early for that. The game’s only just begun.”

Even if Catherine didn’t fully understand, she trusted Alex. If he said so, she was sure he’d pull it off.

Catherine was practically beaming as she said, “I knew you had another trick ready! Go ahead and do whatever you need. We’re all behind you. And that pain, Stella?

“If it hadn’t been for her, your brother probably wouldn’t have gotten into all that mess. So if you ever need her for anything. make sure she does it for the Weston family.

“Honestly, if it wasn’t for your dad and her ties to Easton, I would’ve kicked her out ages ago.”

Alex’s lips curled into a cold smirk. “Mom, you’re giving her way too much credit. If she could really win Easton over, maybe I’d actually respect her.

“But let’s face it, she’s just not that capable. Ea Successfully unlocked! be next on my list.”
