Blair shielded Diane, smiling faintly. “Diane’s wonderful. She’s never upset me.”
Elijah chuckled. “You always defend her.”
Graham chimed in, “Elijah, I can vouch for that. Diane really hasn’t caused him any trouble.”
He then glanced at Rudolph. “Right, Rudolph?”
Rudolph smirked without warmth, raising his glass toward the group. “True enough.”
Though Rudolph didn’t particularly like Diane, he admired her restraint -never demanding attention and always kind to Winnie Avery.
Meanwhile, Bianca Watts desperately tried ignoring their conversation across the dining table.
Not wanting to hear, she drank in silence.
Elvin noticed her distress, scooting his chair closer. He draped an arm protectively over her seatback, engaging her in quiet conversation- hoping to ease her pain.
Davis also sensed Bianca’s dejection. Glaring at the others, he found them utterly hypocritical and disgusting.
Bianca was Blair’s wife, yet they treated her like air.
As Davis wiped his hands and rose to intervene, Matthew Jackson beat

Matthew stood,‘ producing a business card from his pocket. He placed it on the lazy Susan, rotating it directly to Blair.
Everyone–including Davis and the freshly seated group opposite- watched as the card halted before Blair.
Matthew stopped the turntable, his smile deep and gaze earnest. “Mr. Avery, I’m sure you have excellent legal counsel. But given my reputation in this field…” He paused. “If you ever face financial lawsuits, you can come to me. I specialize in these types.”
Adam was serious and spoke earnestly, his voice neither loud nor soft, with a hint that the Avery Group was about to collapse.
As soon as these words were spoken, Davis felt the congestion in his chest ease. Under the table, he silently gave Adam a thumbs–up and whispered, “Matthew, killing without pain or itch, you’re truly my god.”
And the people opposite changed color upon hearing this, the worst expressions being on Elijah and Graham’s faces.
Diane also furrowed her brow, but because Blair and Elvin were present, she still maintained some composure.
Rudolph, aside from surprise, had no other unnecessary reaction.
Instead, Blair was the calmest, his facial expression showing no joy or anger, but his gaze was half–smiling as it fell on Adam.
He said nothing, only silently watched Adam.
Bianca and Elvin also raised their heads and looked towards the group opposite.

Adam’s words meant clearly that a company like the Ye Group that hasn’t stood the test of time, Blair easily gave away the cooperation, and whether the Ye Group’s path will stand firm in the future is still unknown.
Graham was the most impatient among those people. He slammed the wine glass heavily on the table, making a sharp, loud noise.
At the same time, he sternly questioned Adam, “What?
Adam, are you jealous that others are doing better than you?”
Adam was a reasonable person and wasn’t afraid of Graham’s anger. He looked at him lightly and was just about to say something when Davis beside him snorted more loudly and said, “Hmph, Graham, don’t speak too confidently. Good or bad, isn’t it all still unknown?
If you ruin the relationship with our Matthew, when your company has financial problems, don’t come begging to our Matthew to handle the lawsuit.”
Graham heard Davis’s words and laughed disdainfully several times, “Hmph, Davis, is your brain okay?
Do I, Graham, need him to handle lawsuits for me?
Even if I go bankrupt, even if I die, I will never ask him to handle lawsuits for me.”
Davis leaned back leisurely against the chair back, crossed his legs, and said in a calm tone, “If I recall correctly, your aunt had a cranial surgery not long ago, right?
