Chapter 63: A Father's Disapproval

The next day,

The meeting room at Hargrave & Co. featured large windows that offered a sweeping view of the city skyline. Leone sat at the head of the table, his posture relaxed and his demeanor calm.

'Finally, the meeting with Moore Estates has begun,' Evelina thought. She had been nervous just moments ago but had managed to gather her courage. Now, she stood confidently at the front, ready to present her ideas.

Richard sat at the opposite end of the table, stiff and silent, trying to maintain his composure. 'What is this brat doing here? I thought I told her to stay out of it and behave,' he thought to himself.

Edoardo sat off to the side, his laptop open in front of him, taking notes for the record.

Leone's voice broke the silence, turning everyone's attention to Evelina.

"Alright, Ms. Evelina," Leone said, his tone both encouraging and professional. "Go ahead. We're all ears."
