Revenge is best served cold novel Chapter 234

The moment I finished speaking, Jack's expression flickered with shock. Beyond the surprise, there was also a hint of confusion. He was just as eager to figure out what game I was playing.

A small smirk curled at my lips. "I had my assistant look into it and found out that the paperwork was wrong. The project flagged for a payment freeze was actually a different, old sunset venture. With everyone backing the production company, how could Jack possibly go against the crowd?"

As I spoke, I turned to face him directly. "Isn't that right, Jack?"

He froze for a second before quickly responding, "Right. It must've been a mistake in the documents and I didn't notice. I'll have them process the payment as soon as this meeting is over."

As soon as he finished speaking, I caught the subtle sigh of relief he let out.

Mr. Ward, who had always been one of Jack's supporters, shot him a look. His tone carried a hint of reproach. "You need to be more careful next time. We put our trust in you when we made you vice president. Don't let us down."

Lucius nodded in agreement. "Exactly. This project has been stalled due to funding issues for so long. Who knows how much we would've lost? Good thing we caught this in time, or it would've been a disaster."

I chuckled and stepped in to smooth things over. "No need to worry. The original timeline already accounted for unexpected variables. As long as nothing else goes wrong moving forward, the losses will be close to zero."

Hearing this, Dad gave me an approving look.

With that, the meeting concluded, and everyone began filing out in an orderly manner.

I didn't linger either and grabbed my notebook to head back to my office. Just as I reached the door, Jack called out to me from behind.
