Chapter 4 Marshall stepped out of the elevator and was escorted by a waiter to the private room . He scanned the room , only to see it was a sea of suits . The heiress of Wonder Group was notably absent . For some reason , a sharp pang of frustration and disappointment washed over him . He quickly regained his composure and said flatly , " My apologies for my late arrival . " Meanwhile , outside the private room , the slightly intoxicated Priscilla was being helped into the elevator by a man in a suit . It was Randolph Clem , who looked at her with an amused smile . " For three years , I couldn't find you no matter how hard I tried , " he said . " And tonight , I stepped out for one drink , and I ran into you . " She smiled faintly , " What a nice coincidence . " Randolph was her childhood friend . She had been trying to leave the private room , but Vincent wouldn't let her . Fortunately , Randolph had been passing by , recognized her voice , and stepped in to extricate her . They went to the underground parking lot , and he drove her back in his Maybach . Chapter 4 17259 Wouchers The cool night breeze flowing through the window made Priscilla feel better . " Marshall is supposed to be here too , right ? " Randolph asked . " What is it ? You left early just to avoid him ? " She had expected to be upset hearing Marshall's name again , but instead , she felt an absolute calm . She shook her head , her tone flat . " No. I just had a bad feeling about that investor . " Randolph's expression turned serious . " You mean Vincent , the Wall Street elite ? " She nodded . " We discussed the project for nearly half an hour . He went on and on about high returns and guaranteed interest rates without mentioning a word about the risks . Besides , his resume is too good to be true . Why would a consistently successful Wall Street trader suddenly be offering a project that's so perfect ? It doesn't feel like business . It feels like charity . " Hearing this , Randolph nodded in agreement . " That's odd . Vincent reached out to my grandfather a while back . My grandfather is more conservative and was reluctant to invest in something like that , so nothing ever came of it . But now that you mention it , it does seem suspicious . " Priscilla shook her head . In business , the biggest mistake was to be solely driven by profit . So , whether Marshall was there or not , she would have left anyway . The second day . Priscilla told her assistant , " We will not be proceeding with Vincent's 19 57 % 08.08 Chapter 4 project . Pull the plug on it . " Her assistant looked at her , puzzled . " But I heard several CEOs have already committed to it . They've even increased their investments . Ms. Langstaff , are you sure ? " Priscilla nodded , saying decisively , " Yes , I am . " Her decision gave the skeptical senior board members , who had never supported her leadership , a perfect opportunity . 288 Vouchers With Eddie fanning the flames behind the scenes , the company was soon abuzz with whispers that the new CEO was just eye candy who knew nothing about business and had cost them a fortune by rejecting a major project right after she took office .

Vincent had fled with the nine - figure investment , vanishing without a trace . The subsequent investigation revealed his record of financial fraud . He specialized in scamming large companies , and this time , New York's elite firms were his primary targets . Only two emerged without a scratch . One was Wonder Group , and the other was Marshall's Apex Group . After this , Priscilla's detractors at Wonder Group were forced to acknowledge her sharp judgment and could no longer doubt her . At Apex Group . Chapter 4 Marshall's assistant entered his office . A " Your assessment was correct , Mr. Burton , " he informed Marshall . " Vincent Covington is a fraud . " 288 Vouchers That night , Marshall had gotten a bad feeling after only half an hour in the private room and had excused himself early . Still focused on his computer , Marshall nodded , his expression unmoved . People gullible enough to fall for a scheme that transparent deserved what they got . His assistant added , " I also heard that Ms. Langstaff of Wonder Group left early that night . You and she were the only two who saw through the scheme . " Her again ? It seemed after three years , she was still as sharp as ever . Marshall found this puzzling . Was she really Eddie's cousin ? Then how could Eddie , the acting CEO , be so foolish ? Apex Group and Wonder Group had planned to collaborate this year , but the deal was canceled . After Eddie's earlier blunder , Marshall had called it off - working with fools was the last thing he'd ever do . But now ... perhaps it was time to put that collaboration back on the table . He said in a devil - may - care way , " Reach out to Wonder Group . See if they're still interested in the proposal we discussed earlier this year . " " Yes , Mr. Burton . " Soon , they received Wonder Group's reply , which was curt and definitive . The new CEO was not interested in revisiting the proposal and would not Chapter 4 reconsider her position .
