Chapter 336 Go Big or Go Home

I knew Matthew didn't expect me to appear so calm while telling him to get lost. It must've been a great Insult to him since he looked so embarrassed.

"Chloe, I came to talk things out with you. You can make amends or face the consequences of defying me. You can choose if this is a friendly discussion or a warning.

Suddenly, someone opened my office door. Ryan entered, asking. "Who's speaking with such authority? Tell me, where are you planning to move to?"

Matthew's lips twitched when he saw Ryan. The former regained his arrogant composure and retaliated, I didn't expect to see my senior from college here."

Matthew knew Ryan well, especially when Matthew pursued me in school. Ryan had taken good care of me then. Therefore, Matthew had been wary of him until I accepted Matthew as my boyfriend. Ryan glanced at Matthew and said, "You just mentioned moving, right? Where to?"

Ryan confidently sat at the main seat and looked Matthew in the eyes, saying. "The difference between a man and a boy is something you might not understand. Do you want to move back here? Sorry, but you'll

need my opinion."

"You? Pfft!" Matthew leaned back, looking defiant. "You'll always be my defeated underling."

"Is that so? Try me again." Ryan remained composed. "We can make phase two of Avalon Hills our bet. This place doesn't suit your status and isn't substantial enough. You want to make it big, right?"

I sat upright, not entirely understanding Ryan. I didn't know what phase two of Avalon Hills was. As far as

I knew, the first phase had just ended. There was no mention of a second phase. The first phase was a

significant project the government had prioritized.

Matthew also sat upright. "What do you mean?"

"It is what it is," Ryan was vague, but Matthew seemed to understand because he appeared slightly

nervous.

Ryan, don't think studying overseas makes you great. Aren't you back here just for a woman? You're even

willing to be her slave, aren't you?" Matthew retorted, feeling angry and embarrassed.

That's because she's worth it, Matthew. If you want to be a real man, run your business and stop bothering Chloe. Otherwise, I'll make your life miserable," Ryan was severe. I had never seen him so

confident

Matthew clicked his tongue. "Ryan, can you even bet against me on phase two?"

Ryan asserted, "I bet you'll lose out. However, if you win, I'll convince Chloe to give in and throw in a

complete renovation for you."

While I didn't grasp the situation fully, Ryan's confidence was undeniable. People often said men were the mest attractive when working, but I'd argue they were most attractive during negotiations. "You shouldn't waste any more time here, Matthew. You can lose everything without realizing it," Ryan implied Matthew's recent success had made him blindly arrogant.

Matthew glanced at me, then stood up and grabbed his bag. "You're something else, Chloe. You're teaming up with outsiders to scheme against me." Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the FɪndNøvel.ɴᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Immediately after, he turned and left. I watched him in a daze, wondering if I was hallucinating. I ran toward Ryan and sat on the couch, asking, “What's all this about phase two?"

He glanced at me. "We agreed that I'd handle external matters while you handled internal ones.

I cackled, "Do you honestly have to be like this? Come on, spill the beans!"

He sat upright and said, "Phase two of Avalon Hills has already received approval. Matthew has been

trying to get it."

"Wait, for what?" I was doubtful because I knew Matthew too well.

"It's probably thanks to Liora's efforts," Ryan explained. That woman still has some influence."

"Why are you betting with him then?" I started to feel confused about Ryan's intentions.
