Chapter 529 My Decision Stands Firm


    "Mr. Lawson, forgive my bluntness-but Lawson Group was painstakingly built by your father from nothing, establishing itself as one of the shining sesses in town. Unfortunately, the recent actions by you and your sister have seriously damaged its good name."


    With a troubled sigh, Dustin continued, "You''re the head of Lawson Group, yet you stood by as your sister publicly humiliated a designer from apany you''re closely partnered with. Once that news spreads, how many reputablepanies do you think will trust you again? You risk isting Lawson Grouppletely from Grester''s business circle."


    Jeffery''s face hardened, turning grim.


    At the birthday event, he had casually dismissed Linsey as merely a minor designer, beneath his concern.


    Because of his personal bias, he had blindly believed Carol''s usations about her.


    The thought of possible fallout from humiliating a guest during Carol''s birthday party never crossed his mind.


    Watching Jeffery fall silent, Dustin realized he had already said enough. With polite detachment, he remarked, "Mr. Lawson, I won''t keep you any longer. I still have other engagements, so please see yourself out."


    Without another word, Jeffery left the room


    clearly shaken.


    Moments after Jeffery exited, Collin, who had quietly listened from the inner office, emerged calmly. Raising an

    amused eyebrow, he nced at Dustin, saying, "you"


    "I admit, I said more than intended, but it was necessary. Hopefully, this discourages Jeffery from disturbing us again," Dustin replied casually.


    Collin maintained his usual indifferent expression. "It doesn''t matter what he thinks or says. My decision


    stands firm."


    Agreeing with a nod, Dustin then changed the subject smoothly. "Speaking of which, our agreement with Burke Group is nearly wrapped up. Their representative showed impressive enthusiasm, clearly aware of how beneficial partnering with us will be."


    Collin exined thoughtfully, "Millie was the only one who openly supported Linsey during the party. It''s fair her family benefits from this partnership. Beyond that, investigate the guests who apanied Millie-anyone promising should be offered a coboration."


    "No problem, I''ll handle it personally," Dustin replied before curiously continuing, "What''s our next move,


    Collin?"


    A chilling gleam shed through Collin''s narrowed eyes, a cold smile forming at his lips. "Next, we reim

    By evening, CR Corporation''s announcement confirming its new partnership with Burke Group set social media


    aze


    "First, CR Corporation cuts off Lawson Group, and now they immediately join hands with Burke Group? This business drama keeps getting more exciting!"


    "Talk about hitting the jackpot! Burke Group must be celebrating big tonight. To be fair, they''ve really stepped up their game recently."


    "But honestly, what was CR Corporation thinking? Burke Group feels pretty ordinarypared to an industry giant like Lawson Group."


    *Agreed. Lawson Group is much more stable. Who knows where Burke Group will go from here?"


    "You think maybe CR Corporation sided with Burke Group because Millie publicly defended Linsey at the birthday event? The connection seems suspiciously obvious now..."


    "Enough with the conspiracy theories. CR Corporation''s founder is a powerhouse-why would someone like himn care about an insignificant designer?"


    "Plus, Linsey is already married! Keep spreading these baseless rumors, and CR Corporation might just p you with awsuit."
