Chairman Lucius looked stunned. It was as though a burden he had carried for years had suddenly disappeared.
For so long, he had worried about this exact situation. He had imagined countless negative outcomes and delayed making a decision because of them.
Yet everything had been resolved far more easily than he expected.
The atmosphere in the room became noticeably lighter afterward. Everyone seemed more relaxed now that the matter was out in the open.
The conversation gradually shifted to more casual topics. Selene and Alice began speaking more naturally with Beatrice. Meanwhile, Isaac continued causing trouble.
To Isaac's surprise, Beatrice possessed a surprisingly good sense of humor. Every time he teased Chairman Lucius, she would casually add another comment that made things even worse.
Before long, Chairman Lucius found himself under attack from both sides.
"You two planned this beforehand," Chairman Lucius complained.
Isaac immediately shook his head.
