Zachary paced nervously in the corridor outside the conference room, waiting for Howard to finally make an appearance.
When Howard finally appeared, Zachary quickly stepped forward, offering a slight bow. “Mr. Dixon, it’s great to see you. Im Zachary My father used to-”
Howard shot a glance at both Zachary and Alice, his expression turning serious. “What’s wrong? Is there a problem?”
Zachary hesitated, sensing Howard’s unwelcoming demeanor.
Alice nudged him from behind, urging him to speak up.
Understanding her hint, Zachary quickly added, “Mr. Dixon, we wanted to discuss Robin. This guy is a con
TOh! A con artist, you say?” Howard responded with a chuckle, scrutinizing both Zachary and Alice. “Let’s have this conversation in my office.”
Delight washed over Zachary as he exchanged glances with Alice before following Howard into the Vice General Manager’s office.
It appeared Grace and Daniel were correct: Howard harbored a strong dislike for Robin.
The moment Robin’s name came up, an unusual glint appeared in Howard’s eyes.
Once they settled inside the office, Howard motioned for them to sit. “Go ahead. Speak quickly; I have a second–round meeting for the Eastvale Ecological Project’s outsourcing qualifications shortly.”
“Mr. Dixon, the Gills and Millers have met the necessary qualifications for outsourcing… But before Zachary could finish his thought, Howard’s expression darkened.
Alice quickly chimed in, “Mr. Dixon, we mean to emphasize that Robin is a fraud. You were classmates with Ms. Dunn at Huffurd Business School, and it’s essential you warn her about him.”
The icy facade Howard had maintained softened immediately. “Oh? I need to hear more.”
He activated the voice recorder on his phone and placed it on the desk.
Zachary hesitated momentarily before continuing. “Mr. Dixon, Robin is a drifter without any solid ties. Recently, he approached the Millers with a twenty–year–old marriage contract, demanding that Alice marry him.
No one can verify if that contract is legitimate, and he was outright rejected by both the Millers and Alice.
“Somehow, he managed to deceive Ms. Dunn into trusting him and ingratiated himself into your group.
“We’re worried that Ms. Dunn and your team might fall for this scammer, which is why we wanted to inform you about Robin’s background.
“We’ve heard he boasts about owning Villa One of Dawnspire Heights Estates. Frankly, it’s absurd.

“This scoundrel has been causing chaos since arriving in Harmonfield, fooling influential figures here with his underhanded tactics!
“Mr. Dixon, we fear the Dunn Group might also be misled by this fraud, which is why we came here to alert you.
Howard chuckled softly. “This is fantastic! The information you’ve given is crucial for us.
“Mr. Gill, Ms. Miller, as a token of my appreciation for your warning, I’ll consider signing a contract with you regarding the Eastvale Development Group projec. Why don’t you head to the signing location and await good news?”
Once outside Howard’s office, Zachary and Alice exchanged high–fives, celebrating their success.
They felt relieved that their gamble had paid off!
Joining the Dunn Group’s Eastvale Ecological Project meant they were about to become key players in -Harmonfield’s business landscape.
At 9 AM, the signing ceremony for the Dunn Group’s Eastvale Ecological Project officially commenced.
Howard held a list of twenty approved outsourcing partners and handed it over to the project assistant for final confirmation.
Upon discovering that their family business was included on the official signing list, Grace, Alice, and the others erupted in joyful cheers,
As Howard passed by, he offered a meaningful reminder. “Make sure to excel on the Eastvale project. I have confidence in you!”
Alice, Zachary, Grace, and Daniel responded enthusiastically, “Thank you, Mr. Dixon! We won’t disappoint you!”
In contrast, Vera’s father, Harvey Silva, looked visibly upset after seeing the signing list.
Despite the Silvas being more powerful than the Millers and Haven Realty, they had not made it onto the Eastvale Ecological Project’s partner list.
He knew exactly why that was.
Feeling frustrated, Harvey decided to make one last attempt.
He approached Vera, speaking softly, “Vera, your close friend, Alice, and her family just secured a contract with the Dunn Group for the outsourcing project. It indicates they have a solid relationship with Mr.
Dixon
“What I’m suggesting is, could you talk to her and see if she can assist us in securing a share of the outsourcing project for the Silvas?”

At that moment. Robin was engrossed in a video game and glanced at the hefty contract. “Ms. Jenning, cant you look through it? Just seeing this gives me a headache.”
Amber nodded, explaining. The outsourcing contract was drafted with input from Ms. Dunn and the legal team’s advisors, so it doesn’t require a thorough review. The key issue is the qualifications of the twenty partner companies, and that’s something you need to finalize, Mr. Ramsey.”
“Then read it to me. Robin said, reclining in his office chair while closing his eyes.
“Alright, I’ll read out the names of the twenty companies, their heads, and their funding statuses for the proposed projects.”
Amber perused the details of the contracted firms as relayed by the sales department.
