Sophie Parker listened, a clear disdain on her face, the corners of her mouth slightly raised with a hint of a mocking smile,
"Emily Parker, stop pretending there.
Adam Willow, even Mr. Willow’s assistant, doesn’t understand French; do you, a college graduate, understand French?"
She placed her crossed hands on the table, her gaze provocatively fixed on Emily Parker.
Faced with Sophie’s questioning, Emily smiled slightly and said calmly,
"Sophie, if you don’t believe me, why not send another email to Dr. Sterling and schedule a time with him?"
Sophie quickly swiped her fingers across the screen and sent another email.
Soon, an automatic reply came back.
Sophie’s expression instantly turned sour, her eyes widened, staring hard at the projection. Although she couldn’t recognize French, seeing the identical reply made her somewhat uneasy.
The people in the meeting room began to discuss, some whispering to each other.
Evan Palmer sat at the head of the conference table, a hint of awkwardness on his face. He cleared his throat, stood up, and said,
"Alright, let’s wrap up today’s meeting. Everyone go back and prepare."
He waved his hand, signaling everyone to leave.
Adam Willow walked out of the meeting room with a somber face, while Sophie muttered under her breath,
"I’m so pissed off, it’s not reasonable. How could Emily understand French being just a college graduate?"
She hurriedly followed behind Adam Willow.
Adam Willow stopped, turned around, with a reproachful look,
"Little Sophie, stop talking.
Leave the matter of contacting Dr. Sterling to me."
His voice was low and firm, carrying a tone of indisputable authority.
Sophie was taken aback, a hint of grievance flashed in her eyes,
"Brother Adam, don’t you trust my work ability?
Sophie’s voice became sharper,
"Brother Adam, don’t you believe in my abilities?
If Emily can do it, I definitely can too.
After all, I am an outstanding graduate of a prestigious university, and even the top leader admires me greatly."
Upon mentioning the top leader, Adam Willow paused, sighed slightly, and his tone softened significantly,
"Little Sophie, that’s not what I meant." He tried to soothe Sophie’s emotions. "Don’t worry about Sterling Research Institute anymore."
He paused, a hint of deep thought flashed in his eyes,
"What you mentioned to me earlier about the Carter Clan and Redstone Capital collaboration, are you sure it’s true? Can Redstone really help my father and me take over the entire Carter Clan?"
Sophie’s expression subtly changed, a trace of pride in her eyes,
"Of course, why would I lie to you?
Redstone has already agreed, as long as we cooperate well, taking over the Carter Clan is just a matter of time."
She slightly raised her head, a bit of pride in her gaze,
Given that Adam Willow had already decided not to be a doctor anymore, he no longer lingered with Dr. Sterling.
What he desired more now was the Carter Clan.
He wanted to be stronger than Carlos, to take over the Carter Clan, leaving Carlos with nothing, making Emily realize she had misjudged.
Adam Willow exhaled, "Rest assured, I know what to do.
With Redstone, I’ve already negotiated with them; they agreed to fully . By then, the Carter Clan will be ours."
Adam Willow nodded slightly, a hint of satisfaction in his eyes. He gently patted Sophie’s shoulder, his tone carrying a bit of reassurance, "Good, I believe in you." His gaze showed a bit of determination, as if motivating himself, "As long as we work together, there’s nothing we can’t accomplish." ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel⁂fire.net
A contented smile appeared on Sophie’s face as she wrapped her arm around Adam Willow’s, leaning slightly on his shoulder, a hint of anticipation in her eyes. In the corridor, sunlight poured through the windows, casting a patchwork of light and shadow on them, seemingly heralding the glory that awaited them.
