Chapter 241 Kevin Chooses Carter
“You sure you don’t just wanna go over there, apologize properly, and ask her to cut us some slack? May go easy on you?
“Come on, she’s got Jeremy as her heavy hitter–things aren’t exactly looking good for us.”
Edward was feeling pretty low himself.
Lately, it seemed like luck just wasn’t on his side.
Was Eugene messing with him or something?
The way things were shaping up, it really didn’t seem like Carter Group stood much of a chance.
If the government officials ended up heading straight to Powell Group’s exhibition hall, Carter would be completely embarrassed.
The thought made Edward cringe inside.
He started doing some rough math in his head about the potential losses and imagined the grilling he’d from the board if he returned with a major deficit.
Then again, he’d saved the company a good chunk of money in the past.
With that track record, those old–timers on the board couldn’t really touch him—they’d probably just ver and shout to let off steam
Not a big deal.
Hey, everyone has to take a risk once in a while.
So what if he was the CEO?
CEOs had their pride, too.
This time, he was going head–to–head with the Powells and the Bexleys.
While Edward was lost in his thoughts, Eugene shot him a brief glance and said flatly, “Keep it down.”
It was pretty clear to everyone that Edward had covered his bases anyway.
That sly fox had probably placed bets on both sides–how much could he really lose?
Such a drama king.
As the two exchanged quiet remarks, Kevin and Steven’s group arrived on the other side.
Adrian, Marcus, and Audrey broke into genuine smiles when they saw them.
Almost without thinking, they adjusted their outfits—Audrey smoothed back her hair–and the three moved forward together.

But then Steven and Kevin turned toward the Carter Group’s team instead. Steven spoke in a low, cou tone, “Good morning–you must be Eugene, correct?”
Wearing a polite smile, he extended his hand to Eugene. “This is Mr. Parker from the National Resear Center. We heard you were holding a product launch here–would you mind if we took a look around
“Mr. Parker is a leading figure in neuron–oriented research,” Steven continued.
“His perspective might offer some valuable inspiration for your new product development.”
He then glanced toward Adrian, Marcus, and Audrey, who had approached but now wore slightly stiff expressions. “Powell Group’s product is impressive as well, of course,” Steven added smoothly.
“But with Jeremy already deeply involved, the development is quite advanced. Mr. Parker’s expertise is specifically in this niche, so we didn’t want to overstep or come across as uninformed.”
