Not long after, Byron left the conference room and turned to ask Archer about his next schedule. Archer immediately replied, "Mr. McDaniel, Mr. Bennet, who is in charge of the tropical park construction project, is waiting for you in the reception room. Also, your son is here.

He is also in the reception room."

"Will?" Byron raised his eyebrows. It was strange that he would come there. 'Next time tell him to wait in my

"Yes, duly noted, Sir." y office.

In the reception room. Byron walked in and his gaze landed on a child sitting on the sofa. He was reading a book leisurely. He realized Byron was looking at him, but Theo was calm and did not panic.

He came at the wrong time when his dad was busiest. So, he could only wait. Archer wanted to take "Will" and leave, but Byron stopped him "Let him stay." After all, he wouldn't listen to anyone's persuasion. "Yes, Sir Archer retreated to the side.

Haley Bennet, on the other side, stood up and greeted Byron. "Good day, Mr. McDaniel. We've carefully polished our proposal for two weeks this time. I believe we won't disappoint you this time."

"Mr. Bennet, there's no need to be so formal. Have a seat." Byron casually unbuttoned his suit and sat down. The joints on the back of his slender hand were well-defined, making him look sexy.

Haley sat down and looked troubled when glancing at Theo. "Mr McDaniel, we're going to talk about serious matters. I'm afraid it's not proper to have a kid around..."

"It's fine. Let's start, Byron raised his chin and interrupted. Haley had no choice but to ignore Will. He handed the proposal over with both hands and explained, "The theme of this tropical park is parent-child leisure, but it's also suitable for the elderly. We've set up a few reconstruction projects in Area 2 so the elderly can roam easily

In the end, Haley's tone was excited. "I can guarantee you that with our company's image, this project will be unprecedented and will satisfy you!"

*P. Suddenly, a burst of laughter came from the side. It immediately attracted Byron and Haley's attention.

"What are you laughing at?" Byron raised his eyebrows slightly and asked Theo..

Theo was there to take

in On Will for causing him to be spanked. Of course, he wanted his dad's meeting to b chaos. He closed his book and said childishly. "There's a problem with this project. If 1 invest in you, I think I'll lose everything." Haley frowned. "What nonsense are you talking about?"

At that moment, Byron glanced at him coldly, and Haley felt a chill down his spine. He immediately swallowed the words he wanted to spit

"I'm not spouting nonsense." Theo tilted his head. "Sir, you need to be honest. How can you use such a project that will fail to work? Are you trying to fool around?" Haley's face was dark red. "You-"

He was furious, but he heard Byron ask him, "What do you mean?"

Haley held his breath. He couldn't believe Byron would take advice from a child. Meanwhile, Theo swung his calves and said lightly. If I tell you, what's in it for me?" Byron smirked. He couldn't believe his kid was learning to negotiate. "So what do you want in return?"

"Well, I haven't thought about it yet. I'll save it for another occasion."

Byron nodded slightly. "Well noted. After all, he sensed something fishy about the proposal but did not know what it was about. Perhaps Will could see something he missed.

The corner of Haley's mouth twitched. "Mr. McDaniel. This kid might not even be able to comprehend what I said. Are you sure you want to take his advice?" He felt Byron deliberately made it difficult to halt or reject his proposal. ""Mr. Bennet, you

Haley could sense he was trying to defend the child. Hence, he became curious about what the child had to say.

Byron turned to look at Theo with a gentle gaze. "Speak, don't worry."

Theo cleared his throat and jumped down from the sofa. He walked to the table and pointed at Haley's proposal. Tve heard about a group of scammers overseas. In 2005, they used such a proposal to lure investors and stole billions of dollars from a construction company, and the case has yet to be resolved."

Theo paused briefly before adding. I'm not saying that your business proposal is the same as the one used to scam those poor investors, but I can't help but notice several points that seem somewhat identical. How can I say so? Because your ideal of reconstructing the layout for the elderly sounds like an exact copy of the one used by those scammers."

As he spoke. Theo waved his hands helplessly. "I have to say, whoever made this proposal has talent. People will say looks like a good investment, especially considering the humane side of it. It's easy to fall into this trap.*

Byron was deep in his thought as he watched "Will" speak frankly and confidently without showing the slightest fear. Recently, he seemed to have acted strange. It was as if there were two people in his body. Sometimes, he was quiet and reserved. But other times, he became lively and mischievous,Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

Beside Theo, Haley's face was already red. "Impossible. Mr. McDaniel, there's nothing wrong with our proposal. This little brat must have spoken nonsensel"

"If I remember correctly, although there are no records on the Internet, big companies have the authority to access it, right?" Theo reminded with a smile.

Archer handed the tablet to Byron "Mr. McDaniel, I've found the article."

Byron took it and read it a few times. His eyes were as cold and terrifying as a blizzard as he stared straight at Haley. "Your company does look legit."

Haley tried to remain calm, but his lips trembled, and he could not speak.

"Additionally, the park will be built on wetlands. That looks off. Don't you think building an elder-friendly amusement park will be challenging with that terrain?" Theo added.

Feeling provoked, the anger in Haley's head exploded. He slammed the table and pointed at Theo. "Try saying another fucking nonsense. I dare you! Do you not-

Haley immediately paused. He realized he had made a grave mistake. Meanwhile, when Archer saw Byron's cold face, he immediately said, "Mr. Bennet, please speak to Mr. McDaniel's sou respectfully. Do I have to remind you that you're in the McDaniel Group, not your company?" His his son Haley's body suddenly froze. His rationality returned to his mind. Looking at Byron's bone-chilling face, cold sweat broke out on his forehead. As he spoke, he wanted to slap himself, "M-Mr. McDaniel, I didn't know he was your son. 1,"

Immediately. Haley knew why Byron seemed protective of that child. He regretted not thinking abour this sooner. Meanwhile, Byron did not care about his apology at all. His lips inled coldly as he issued a death sentence. From now on, 09:19 Thu, Oct 31

my company will no longer cooperate with yours."

Then, Byron turned at Archer. "Archer, send the guest out."

Haley's lips trembled and felt numb. "It's over.
