Chapter 340 Shredding the Evidence
In truth, commanding Carter Group’s G1 architecture, why would Isabella ever look twice at this facility?
Let alone an obsolete, hollow shell–leaving it to Preston was the perfect parting gift.
Consider it a consolatory souvenir for attempting to ambush her.
After all, manners dictated that guests shouldn’t return empty–handed.
One must grant the vanquished a little trophy to take home.
Isabella smiled with effortless poise.
Operating her Vex persona, the last thing Isabella ever lacked was computational infrastructure.
She could architect a far superior facility on a whim whenever she pleased.
Her eyes narrowed thoughtfully.
Right then, she released the digital signal jammer running on her terminal.
Seconds later, Preston Keller’s call blasted through to Damian’s phone.
His brow furrowed in irritation as he barked, “What happened? Why weren’t you answering?”
Spotting a five–billion–dollar debit cleared from corporate accounts, he dialed immediately to demand an accounting.
Simultaneously, a cascade of missed call logs flooded Preston’s notifications–alerts that had been suppressed until now.
Hearing his father’s furious voice, Damian stared blankly into space.
He swallowed hard, stammering, “Dad… I won the lot…”
A dark, ominous premonition struck Preston’s chest as he demanded, “What did you buy?!”
A staggering five billion dollars–what could he have bought?
Preston glanced at his watch.
The session wasn’t even halfway through, and his five billion was already gone?
Frigid menace and dread pooled deep in Preston’s eyes.
“You better have secured something of generational value, or I swear I’ll flay you alive when I get back!”
Five billion dollars in liquid treasury lines–he explicitly told Damian the allocation was meant to force Isabella to bleed Carter capital.
And now, the boy had burned through the entire balance?
What on earth he had acquired?
“I…”
Damian swallowed his terror and rasped, “Dad, I bought Powell Group’s Cloud Computing Research Facility.
“Don’t worry, I followed your instructions to the letter.
It certainly wasn’t my fault!
