hapter 153 What Proof Do You Have
Even though the government led the island development project, the actual work was handled by Bridger Group and the Whitethorn family. So, if the Bridger family wanted to give the drone part of the project to Grafton Technologies, they had the power to do so.
Marley was the first to speak up. “I think it’s doable. Grafton Technologies seems very sincere.”
“I think so too,” Melvin echoed.
Following that, the other members of the Bridger family involved in the meeting also chimed in one after another.
Moldred turned to Julius and asked, “What about you, Mr. Whitethorn?”
Even though the Bridger and Whitethorn families were in partnership for the project, and it was led by the Bridger family in Yarburn, everyone knew the real power behind it came from the Whitethorn family.
Without them, the Bridger family never could’ve taken on such a huge task.
Instead of answering right away, Julius looked at Quinn. “What do you think?”
“I don’t support giving the drone project to Grafton Technologies,” Quinn replied firmly.
Trent suddenly looked at Quinn.
“Quinn, are you trying to get back at them because Mr. Grafton divorced you and fell in love with Sidonie? I didn’t expect you to mix personal feelings with business,” Marley said.
Melvin added, “No matter what’s gone on between you and Mr. Grafton, that’s your personal issue. This meeting is about Bridger Group’s business, not a place for drama.”
Quinn looked up and replied calmly, “So, agreeing to work with Grafton Technologies means keeping business and personal matters separate, but if I disagree, you say I’m being personal? That’s a shallow way to look at things. If someone heard you say that, they might assume Trent paid you off under the table.”
The moment she said that, both Melvin’s and Marley’s expressions changed.
“Quinn, don’t make up stories!” Marley said quickly.
“Are you panicking because I struck a nerve?” Quinn smirked.
Marley’s eyes showed a flash of guilt. The truth was, Sidonie had promised her a share of the profits if she helped seal the deal between Grafton Technologies and the Bridger family.
“How would they feel? Probably wondering how the boss could let a once–good company end up like this.” Julius suddenly spoke up.
