**Chapter 333: The Fifty-Billion-Dollar Deal**

Ah, so he enjoyed the theatrics, did he?

Just wait and see. He would have that man eating from the palm of his hand before long.

—

Today was critical. The task Eugene had assigned him needed to be executed flawlessly. His promotion—and the raise that accompanied it—hung in the balance.

Chloe, with a delicate smile gracing her lips, leaned forward to grasp the contract. “The sincerity of Cosmos Group is certainly something to look forward to,” she remarked, her voice barely above a whisper, yet laced with confidence.

“Hold on just a moment,” Monique interjected sharply, stepping into the spotlight of the room. “What exactly is happening here? The designated window for cooperation negotiations has already closed. What’s with this sudden disruption from Cosmos Group?”

She took a moment to scan the room, her voice rising to ensure her words carried weight. “If I remember correctly, Chloe already has an established cooperative relationship with Cosmos Group, doesn’t she?”

Her statement sparked a ripple of realization among the shareholders present. Indeed, it was true—back when Chloe had been the exclusive designer for LOVELESS, she had collaborated closely with LOVE, a subsidiary under the expansive Cosmos Group umbrella. The history was undeniable; her designs had been a cornerstone for both entities, establishing a professional relationship long before this moment. For Cosmos Group to make a move now, at this precise juncture, felt undeniably suspicious.

Monique’s words lingered in the air, prompting hushed murmurs among the shareholders.

“I had nearly forgotten. Chloe has had ties with Cosmos Group for quite some time. Is it possible they are deliberately stepping in at this moment to help her save face regarding the partnership issue?” one shareholder speculated aloud, his brow furrowed in thought. “It’s as if they’re appearing at the last second to rescue the situation. But what’s the actual capital commitment in this contract? There’s no way to ascertain that.”

“Could this simply be a fabricated contract, designed to make everyone believe that Lewis Group’s funding issues have been resolved?” another chimed in, skepticism evident in their tone.

“Lawrence was the Chief Agent at Cosmos Group’s headquarters three years ago, but everything is under Mr. Meader’s direct control now. With Mr. Meader absent, who truly holds the authority to make decisions? It’s been three years. Does Lawrence still have any real influence within Cosmos Group? Does he even possess the qualifications anymore?”

“Ms. Lewis, your connection to Cosmos Group is hardly a secret. If you genuinely intended to involve them, you could have simply asked Mr. Voss to sign a cooperation agreement. We might have even entertained a few hundred million in investment,” Ernesto declared, his voice rising with mockery, glancing around the room as if daring anyone to disagree.

“Bringing Lawrence here to play a role in this charade is simply inappropriate. The man is in his seventies—shouldn’t he be at home enjoying his retirement instead of running around like this?”

“What if something were to happen to him while he’s here? Could you take that responsibility?”

Uneasy laughter rippled through the room, a mix of discomfort and disbelief at Ernesto’s pointed remarks.
