Noah paused, his expression growing colder. "Did she say anything?" "Miss Quinn mentioned you had consumed too much alcohol and instructedto take good care of you," Breck replied, eyes downcast, avoiding Noah's gaze.
"Consumed too much alcohol?" Noah scoffed, his voice laden with sarcasm. “Send a warning to the Quinn family. Let them know not to underestimate us." "Yes, Mr. Wall." Breck nodded and promptly exited.
Noah finished dressing and approached the window. The sunlight was bright outside, yet his eyes were shadowed with dark thoughts.

"Cin, please," Noah's voice was weary as he looked up.
Samuel entered, holding a file.
"Mr. Wall, I've brought the information you requested," Samuel said, handing over the file.
Noah accepted it, flipping through the pages, his brow furrowing as he read. "It's the project between Wall Group and Howe Group. Is there an issue?" Noah asked, his voice calm, revealing no emotion.

"What does the Howe Group have to say about such a significant issue?" "They claim someone set them up," Samuel replied, his voice hesitant.
"How could anyone set them up like this?" Noah scoffed coldly. He placed the file down and looked up at Samuel. "You're quite familiar with the Howe family, aren't you?"

"This issue will be handed over to the legal department. Follow the standard procedures." "Understood, Mr. Wall," Samuel lowered his head, not daring to add more.
