Chapter 334 The Toxic Monument
In his initial assessment, the property was expendable.
But if the goal was draining Carter Group’s liquidity, contesting the lot was worthwhile.
And it would serve to gauge the young woman’s bidding strategy.
However…
“Powell Group’s true value lies in their Cloud Computing Research Facility, proprietary lab telemetry, and the AI Innovation Hub.
“Beyond those three, do not waste another cent!”
Preston’s eyes were icy.
He had an executive board session to chair and had no patience for childish games.
“I taught you the strategy beforehand.
“Do not call me for every move going forward.
“Handle it yourself.”
Preston’s voice was sharp as flint.
An enterprise of their stature never entered an acquisition without exhaustive due diligence.
Powell Group’s underlying portfolios held no secrets from his analysts.
Aside from those few strategic assets, the rest was unappealing scrap.
Thus, if Damian wanted to fight Isabella, focusing on those three divisions offered the best chance to bleed her dry.
And if Isabella folded, they would absorb those prime assets into their balance sheet–a win either way.
“Understood, Chairman Keller.”
The aide answered with utmost compliance.
Damian listened in dutiful silence on the extension.
With that, Preston hung up the line.
Damian punched in his updated bid.
1.4 billion dollars!
He raised the stakes by another hundred million.
Isabella’s eyes narrowed slightly as she let the timer run down without counter–bidding.
She never cared for this commercial tower–marketed as Powell heritage, Adrian had squandered astronomical sums on its maintenance every year.
With cash flow drying up, the facility had turned into a bottomless money pit.
Isabella was targeting agile, light–asset holdings and had no desire to inherit a massive structural liability.
So she gladly let Damian take the prize.
A subtle smirk touched Isabella’s lips.

That complicates things.
“D*mn it.”
