Reborn From Oblivion (Nellie and Cameron) novel Chapter 709

Dean's face shifted dramatically. "And you? No way you signed a contract that fast. Even if you did, it’s gotta be a small one..."

Lincoln replied, "The morning meeting’s about to kick off. You’ll see soon just how much I’ve signed."

Seeing Lincoln’s confidence, Dean couldn’t shake a sense of unease.

During the morning meeting, the shareholders had insisted that both factions report on the progress of their deals.

Ashley took the stage for the first faction, delivering a confident and lengthy presentation. "Our long-standing partners still see us as the top faction, and big players like Dawson International, Rowland Corporation, and the McCoy family have verbally pledged their full support..."

The shareholders erupted in applause.

"The first faction’s done well," they whispered among themselves.

Then it was the second faction’s turn. Lincoln stood up from his wheelchair.

Dean was stunned. "Brother, your leg’s healed?"

Lincoln nodded, "Yep. My daughter needs a father who can stand tall for her, so here I am."

Dean was speechless at his brother's dedication to his daughter.

But he missed the admiration on Ashley’s face. Such fatherly love was something everyone yearned for.

Lincoln took the stage and sharply criticized the first faction. "The promises of the first faction are just fluff. Seems like everyone's enjoying them. Not me, Lincoln. I don’t deal in fluff; I show results from our hard work over the last two weeks."

He then showcased two contracts in his presentation. The partners were Stewart Enterprise’s closest collaborators from previous years.

Regan slumped back in his chair.

Dean stammered, "How is this possible? They promised to partner with our faction."

Lincoln chuckled, "You’ve been around long enough to know that some promises are just nice words."

Laughter filled the room.

Dean’s face turned pale.

In this opening round, the first faction was soundly defeated.
