Brian entered the car following the phone call with Aldrich.

Carson watched angrily as the vehicle drove away.

His career was on the line because of Brian!

He hadn't anticipated landing in trouble due to a designer this time!

His phone rang. Aldrich was calling.

Attempting to suppress his anger, Carson answered the call.

“Aldrich, Brian nearly beat me senseless just now."

“What did you do to offend him?" Aldrich inquired.

Carson pondered how to phrase his response.

“It's no big deal. The imported materials for the Technology Center were expensive. | tried to save money for the company's sake by using some ordinary materials. A designer named Rosalynn Fuller showed up today, acting arrogant and destroying the materials I purchased.

My subordinates attempted to stop her but ended up getting beaten and hospitalized. | think Rosalynn must have slept with Brian. Otherwise, why would he defend her and fire our construction team? Brian obviously didn't take you seriously. He knows you're in charge of the construction; why interfere?"

He purposely omitted crucial details. He even attempted to sow discord between Aldrich and Brian.

Aldrich replied, "You don't need to drive a wedge between Brian and me. Return all the money you've embezzled over the years, or I can't protect you."

With that, he hung up.

Carson's face contorted.

Return the money?

Doing so would bankrupt him!

Weren't Aldrich and Brian enemies?

Why wasn't Aldrich helping him?

Aldrich was utterly useless!

“What should we do? Are we going to be fired?”

Wesley and the other workers, who had witnessed the earlier events, looked at Carson anxiously.
