"How could you let your son handle such an important matter? Andrew, have you lost your mind?"

"Even if the deal passes, it's only because Mr. Wilson values our company, not because of your son. Isn't he a little too eager to take the credit?" "Andrew's son is just a department manager here, but he's got some skill."

The tension in the conference room was palpable. Some were in agreement, some opposed, while others just watched.

Seraphina glanced at Sivir. His eyes narrowed slightly, his expression cold and detached, as if the arguments around him didn't matter. Noticing this. Thomas gave a loud cough. The room immediately quieted down, all eyes now on Sivir. waiting for his reaction.

Sivir's sharp and cold gaze landed on Andrew. When he spoke, his voice carried an icy chill.

Andrew, you're really that desperate to give your son a chance?"

Andrew, though timid, mustered his courage. If his son didn't achieve something soon, Cross Group would undoubtedly cast him aside.

"Mr. Cross, Miguel's achievements in the business department are well known. I believe he can secure this, project."

A faint, almost imperceptible smirk curled Sivir's lips, though it vanished just as quickly.

"And what if he fails?"

The atmosphere became stifling-

A thick silence fell, making everyone in the room feel uneasy.

Andrew froze. The look in his eyes had slightly changed.

"If he fails..."

Sivir lifted his head, his voice turning colder.

"This project is of utmost importance to the company. The company's entire future depends on this project. I

If it falls through, the damage will be far more than just a hit to our reputation.

"Andrew, do you truly believe your son has the ability to handle this? If he costs us this project and our rival secures it, who will bear that responsibility?" Should we dusmus the tune with case?

The conference room grew eerily silent; even the sound of breathing seemed subdued

beyond just a tarnished reputation. It would shake the company's standing and affect future collaborations, potentially sending the entire group into a downward spiral. Could Andrew bear such a burden?

Andrew's expression changed rapidly. He believed that, given his years of service to Cross Group, it would be simple to get Sivir to give in.

Yet Sivir was talking about the consequences?

All eyes in the room were on Andrew, waiting for his decision.

Would he persist or back down?

A minute passed.

Seraphina was starting to grow impatient. She glanced at her watch; she still wanted to go shopping later.

"I'll do it!"

Andrew gritted his teeth, his voice resolute.

"I believe in Miguel. He will secure this project. If he doesn't, I'll take full responsibility. I'll even voluntarily give up all of my shares." The room erupted in shock.

Andrew's status was second only to Emeris, and he was highly respected among the shareholders.

He was willing to risk everything for this opportunity?

Seraphina couldn't help but glance at him. His weathered face was filled with determination. Where did he get such confidence?

Sivir's lips curled slightly.

"That's not all. If your son fails, we will never allow him to work in any Cross Group subsidiary again.

Andrew's expression flickered several times before he firmly responded.

"Deal,"

Sivir glanced at Seraphina. He said, "We can't put all our hopes on one person. We need a backup plan. Little sister, you'll also be working on this project. Consider it a break.". Seraphina paused and looked up in surprise.

Why am I being dragged into this?

Andrew shot a dark look at Seraphina, his face tight with anger. He asked, "How will we decide between the TWO?"

"Whoever wins gets the credit. Whoever loses faces the consequences."

Andrew nointed at Seranking his voice sham with section
