Chapter 419: Who DislikesConnor was immersed in his document when Marissa's voice snapped him out of his concentration. "What is it?" he asked, looking up from his work.
Crossing her arms defiantly, Marissa said, “Spill the Peridot Consortium's secret now, and I'll guarantee your success in collaborating with Windsoul Robots. What do you say?" Connor's eyebrows shot up with curiosity. "Do you have connections with senior executives at Windsoul Robots?" "Mmm-hmm," Marissa replied casually. "I know Dr. Finley." "Miss Black Snake, you never cease to amaze me," Connor said, a smile playing on his lips. "You're renowned among mercenaries and the highly skilled actor, Riss. You're the famous hacker Bee and the prodigious art master Onley.

I can't help but wonder, are there any aspects of you I haven't discovered yet?" "Enough with the small talk," Marissa interrupted. "Answer my question. Do you want the deal or not?" "No," Connor's refusal was immediate and firm.
Marissa stared at him, baffled. "Why not?" Connor leaned back, confidence radiating from him. "In Blebert, Windsoul Robots can't find a better partner than Daniels Group. It's just a matter of tbefore my company collaborates with them. There's no need forto give up the Peridot Consortium's secret for nothing." Marissa smirked. "What makes you so sure? Aelfric is also seeking to collaborate with Windsoul Robots. What makes you think they'll choose you over him?" She expected her mention of Aelfric to give Connor pause, but he remained unfazed.
"Dr. Finley is exceptionally capable and undoubtedly intelligent," Connor said calmly. "After their team's assessment, Dr. Finley will see that partnering withis the smart choice. There's no reason to worry." With that, he returned to his document, dismissing the conversation.
Marissa shook her fist in frustration and retreated to the sofa, where she started fiddling with her phone, choosing to ignore him.
Meanwhile, in a lavish private room of a high-end coffee shop, Aelfric and Joziah sat across from each other. The freshly brewed coffee sat steaming on the table.
Aelfric smiled warmly. "Mr. Aston, this coffee is the most popular in this establishment. Its flavor is unparalleled; you won't find anything like it elsewhere. Please, have a taste." Joziah, however, was visibly anxious. He checked his watch impatiently. "Mr. Warren, you know I'm scheduled to visit Daniels Group this afternoon, and my tis limited. Let's get to the point." Setting his mug down, Aelfric leaned in. "Mr. Aston, I genuinely hope Windsoul Robots will collaborate with Warren Group. I chere with the utmost sincerity. Warren Group's strengths are like this exquisite coffee- unique and unmatched by any other company." Following Marissa's directive, Joziah decided to cut to the chase. "I'm sorry, Mr. Warren, but Windsoul Robots will not be partnering with Warren Group." Aelfric's brow furrowed in confusion. "Why not?" Joziah explained, “Windsoul Robots isn't just looking for the best partner, but the most compatible one. After our evaluations, we don't believe Warren Group fits our needs." "Is this decision yours or Dr. Finley's?" Aelfric probed.

"Mr. Aston, please reconsider. If Windsoul Robots partners with m Warren Group, you can set any terms you want. I'll do everything in my power to meet your demands."
m "I appreciate your offer, but my decision stands," Joziah said, shaking his head. [Windsout Robots will not be collaborating with Warren Group. I suggest not pursuing this further."
Aelfric gradually looked annoyed. “Mr.
Aston, why did you rejecteven C without i ut inspecting my company? Is it because you dislike me, or Dr. Finley dislikes me?"
