    Quinn and Niamh were on the same page. Even though it wasn''t voiced, they both sensed that something was wrong with the draft.


    That was why she agreed to let Niamh approach ke. She believed those involved had been thoroughly examining the matter to see the whole picture, while those not involved could immediately identify the problems. "I''m going to have a meeting with the team. You should rest for a bit," Quinn said.


    Niamh was probably the most anxious at that moment. She was truly exhausted. Thus, she nodded. "Okay."


    On the other hand, Castiel was frustrated.


    His design department consisted of top-notch designers, yet none of their drafts were to his satisfaction. He was already on edge, and then Lucian uncovered something that made him even more furious. "Mrs. Jamison isn''t working at anypany. She has opened her own studio," Lucian reported.


    Castiel''s expression darkened upon hearing that. It seemed he truly underestimated Niamh. "Then tell allpanies not to coborate with her," he instructed.


    He was curious to see how far her stubbornness would go. He reflected on her recent changes. Cutting off ties with her family and moving out of Maplewood-every sign pointed to her intention to sever their rtionship.


    After ten years together, he had never imagined that his rtionship with Niamh would turn out like this. Watching her so resolutely distance herself from him, he was deeply surprised.


    "Otherpanies can be dealt with, but Leopardbite Intl. is now under ke''s control. I''m afraid..." Lucian didn''t finish the sentence.


    Castiel knew ke well. Back in school, they were equals and bitter rivals. Throughout the years, they''d been consistently at odds with each other. Moreover, both of them werepeting fiercely over the bidding for Linden Grove, and it was still uncertain who would win. He certainly couldn''t ept that his wife, Niamh, was involved in a coboration with ke.


    Castiel closed his eyes, emanating an icy demeanor. When he opened them again, his gaze was sharp and intense. "Don''t worry about ke. She won''t be able to coborate with him!"Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.


    Castiel considered Niamh''s capabilities trivial, and ke would likely agree. Despite being adversaries, their judgment was often quite simr. Someone whom he deemed unfit would certainly be seen the same way by ke.


    ke was known for his strict principles, especially regarding business coborations.


    "Got it," Lucian nodded and sighed in relief. Just thinking about themotion Niamh had been causingtely gave him a headache, and he had no idea when it would end.


    With those two constantly in conflict, everyone working with Castiel had a tough time. They were quietly hoping that Niamh would stop causing trouble soon.


    "I need you to investigate someone," Castiel suddenly said.


    ""Who?" Lucian asked.


    "The chairman of Titan International Corporation." At the mention of thepany, the coldness in Castiel''s eyes intensified. Even his handsome features were now clouded with an icy chill. His gaze, once captivating, had lost its warmth.. Titan International Corporation had dominated the overseas real estate market for years.


    Niamh had somehow made connections with the group, and Castiel


    couldn''t bring himself to dwell on the reasons. He refused to believe that she would be interested in a man so much older.


    At the same time, what shed through his mind was Niamh''s poised smile as she attended the banquet with Simon on her arm. She truly looked the part of a perfect lover.
