Chapter 373

Cordy closed the company dossier Patrick gave her, her expression determined after getting the answer.

"I'm sure you're aware of my connection to your family, Mr. Stuart," she said.

"Of course," Patrick replied cheerfully. "That's why I came to you, seeking a partnership."

As Cordy raised a brow, he flashed a refined smile in return. "The enemy of my enemy is my friend—isn't that what Jessica and Noel Sachs' partnership was based on?"

Cordy studied him-to think that he knows so much about Jessica and Noel's partnership.

Still, it was precisely his ability to find out everything about her and those around her that made her feel incapable of partnering with him.

Before Cordy could speak, however, Patrick added bluntly, "You don't have to reject me in a hurry, Miss Sachs. Why don't you hear me out and understand what I hope to achieve with our partnership, and why I have a bone to pick against Jessica?"

Cordy stopped herself right then.

"And that brings us to the second point-the man named John Levine," Patrick continued. "I've done my research on him, and it turned out that his father was a prodigy like him. It was terrible to lose that man so early, but there was also that time when everyone was presuming that Levine

Ventures would fall when things looked so bleak forthem. However, John himself brought them back from the brink at twenty. It was a legend in commerce, hence why William had his eyes on John and was eager to bring John into his fold. In short, there are times when being too capable is bad."

"And that brings us to the present."

Despite having said so much, Patrick didn't seem interested in Cordy's response and simply continued, "My side of the family has stopped William's march into gaining a political foothold. You should understand. Miss Sachs, that things work differently in politics than in business. There are only so many political seats, especially on top of the hierarchy. If I'm to make it even more blunt—my grandfather would fall if William rose to the top. I'm sure you know how that works."
