The Best Revenge It Wasn't Even Your Child novel Chapter 688

The termination penalties alone would cost the company millions of dollars.

Gavin had orchestrated it perfectly, setting a trap to keep Hammer from going back on his word.

Half an hour later, they arrived at The Grand Eldervale.

Catherine followed Hammer up to a private suite on the third floor.

The vintage, opulent decor gave the entire venue an atmosphere of serious, heavy-hitting power.

A server pulled open the heavy carved wooden doors, revealing a massive ten-foot circular table adorned with elaborate floral centerpieces.

Seated right next to the head of the table was Geoffrey.

Geoffrey stood up immediately, personally pulling out the head chair.

"Hammer, I've heard so much about you. It's a pleasure to finally meet face to face. I look forward to working with you!"

Hammer gave him a brief, practiced handshake before taking his seat.

"Geoffrey. Golden Horizon's future expansion in Eldervale is in your hands."

Geoffrey flicked a brief glance at Catherine before turning his full attention back to Hammer.

"Absolutely. To ensure the best synergy between our groups, I'm bringing in fresh talent. I've assigned a new executive to coordinate the Southeast Expansion Project with your team. I hope that's acceptable."

Hammer looked mildly surprised. "You aren't overseeing it yourself?"

"Rest assured, she is incredibly capable. Let me bring her in."

Geoffrey gave a subtle nod to the server.

The doors swung open once more.

Adelina stepped into the suite, dressed in a stark black-and-white business suit.

Catherine barely recognized her. Adelina had always played up the sweet, innocent angle—flowing dresses, sparkling hair accessories, looking every bit the pampered princess.

But now...

She looked like a child playing dress-up in her mother's corporate attire. It was almost comical.

Hammer stared at Adelina for a few seconds, his initial surprise smoothing out into calculating realization.
