Chapter 102 Chapter 102 Behaving Like a Criminal 10 FreeZachary 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 ncup, 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.

"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 beckey 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?" 2/5 Chapter 102 Behaving Like a Criminal sold Ven a Vera coldly replied.

Robin was engrossed in a video gand glanced at the hefty contract. "Ms. Jenning, cant you look through it? Just seeing this givesa 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.

Once she finished reviewing all twenty companies, Robin opened his eyes and stated, "Remove Gill Group, Miller Group, and Haven Realty from the list." Amber looked startled. "Understood. I'll inform the sales department immediately." Just five minutes later, Howard received Amber's update.

The three companies had been eliminated from the initial roster of twenty, leaving Robin with only That he had approved.

Howard's face flushed with anger as he realized the companies that had been Cut were the very ones he had promised to give a spot to. He slamined the contract onto his desk.

"This is unacceptable! Ms. Jenning. I need to know: These three companies are qualified, so why have they "been dropped?" Amber responded with composure. "Mr. Dixon, Mr. Ramsey indicated there was no justification for the removals."

Howard exploded with rage, slamming his palm on the table and yelling. "What? What kind of attitude is this? How can you just strike m someone's noff a contract for such a significant project without any reason? Is this ssort of joke?* Amber shrugged, unperturbed. That's the mindset of top executives. I'm not privy to the details. Mr. Ramsey said anyone with a concern should keep it to themselves!" "What? H-he's behaving like a criminal!" Howard was nearly beside himself with fury.

If he couldn't fix this situation, he wouldn't just lose face among the higher-ups in the Dunn Group.

Soon, the whole of Harmonfield would be aware of it! If that occurred, how could he possibly maintain his standing with the Dunns? How would he maneuver through the business landscape in Harmonfield? How would he win over his dream woman, Shirley?! No way could he let that happen 000 4/5 Chapter 102 Behaving Like a Criminal He needed to turn the tide.

Grabbing the final contract approval that Robin had signed, he snapped at Amber, I rue discuss this with Shirley! How could an ignorant troublemaker- Mr. Dixon, please watch your tone, Amber warned. "Mr. Ranney is still our CEO Howard jabbed a finger at Amber, shouting. "Who do you think you are, givingorders Get out of my way! With that, he snatched up his phone and the contract documents, striding purposefully toward Shirley's office.

He was determined to show Shirley all the photos Connor had gathered of Robin! And he'd also play her the recordings of Alice and Zachary Howard was resolute-today, he would ensure Robin was ousted from the Dunn Group for good!
