And Duncan Group was attacked from both sides. Not only did Maltz Group confront them, but even Pansy Group relentlessly attacked Duncan Group.
For a while, Duncan Group struggled to cope, especially with the recent financial constraints. They soon reached a breaking point.
Kevin watched the data on the screen gradually decline and clenched his teeth. He never expected his company to reach this point.
But how did Maltz Group obtain their information? This made Kevin fall into contemplation.
Seeing Maltz Group flaunting their possession of his information, little did they know that it contained both truth and falsehood, yet to be known.
It was just that now Kevin was overwhelmed, caught in a crossfire.
Until the last moment, Duncan Group’s programmers couldn’t withstand such immense pressure and surrendered to the other side.
In this business war, undoubtedly, Maltz Group emerged victorious.
It was because Duncan Group was now going through a low period. With Duncan Group attacking from the front and Maltz Group lurking behind, they couldn’t keep up.
This made Kevin furious. He couldn’t believe how ruthless Maltz Group had become. Just a few days ago, they were attacking Pansy Group together, and now they were targeting him alongside Pansy Group!
Kevin was frustrated, watching his stocks plummet once again, forcing him to find another way out.
In a moment of desperation, an image of Romeo flashed in Kevin’s mind!
A few days ago, Romeo returned the funds intact, and the receptionist at Star Entertainment mentioned that Romeo was a big client, which made Kevin somewhat trust him.
At this point, besides Romeo, it seemed like no one could help Duncan Group.
Kevin had gone around the commercial street seeking help these days, but seeing the power of Pansy Group, no one dared to extend a helping hand to Duncan Group, leaving them isolated.
And at this moment, only Romeo was willing to collaborate with him.
Although this person seemed unreliable, Kevin had no other choice but to try anything.
With this in mind, Kevin gritted his teeth and made a phone call to Romeo.
“Mr. Duncan.” Soon, the call was connected, and Romeo’s voice sounded, “Have you had a change of heart?”
Hearing these words, Kevin’s face became somewhat embarrassed, and helplessly, he sought Romeo’s assistance. “I’ve changed my mind.”
“Changing your mind is a good thing, Mr. Duncan. You’re an understanding person.”
Romeo burst into laughter, surprised that someone like Kevin had reached a point of desperation.
“So, Mr. Duncan, what do you think? If you cooperate with me, you know.”
With that, Kevin immediately understood his intention.
Kevin had also searched the internet in advance about this project, and it did require a substantial amount of funds. However, what puzzled him was that if Romeo was such a big client, why would he need Duncan Group’s assistance for these funds?
But Kevin didn’t voice this question.
Now caught in a crossfire, Romeo was Kevin’s last straw.
“I know.”
Kevin agreed, “I’ll have the funds transferred shortly. I hope you won’t disappoint my expectations and get the project listed as soon as possible. It will benefit everyone.”
Kevin desperately needed income. He had to let go of his assets to gain more revenue, like the saying goes, “You can’t make an omelet without breaking eggs.”
“Good. Mr. Duncan, you’re a straightforward person.”
Romeo laughed heartily, and then Kevin hung up the phone.
Soon, Romeo received the transferred funds from Kevin, but what Kevin didn’t know was that the owner of the bank account was Patrick.
In his eagerness for success, Kevin didn’t pay attention to such details and transferred all the funds to Romeo.
Upon receiving the funds, Romeo immediately informed Patrick.
Patrick was also somewhat surprised. He didn’t expect Kevin to fully trust Romeo this time and hand over all of his funds.
Patrick curled his lips and smiled faintly as he watched the funds transfer into his account. He didn’t expect Kevin to still have some savings, and this was not a small amount of money.
Kevin’s funds were depleted, and he anxiously awaited the outcome of the project.
However, it seemed that Maltz Group and Pansy Group knew something because their attacks were becoming more fierce, catching Kevin off guard in his financially vulnerable state.
He gritted his teeth, realizing that Maltz Group and Pansy Group must have discovered something from the information they held.
He thought about the information that Maltz Group had in their possession and fell into contemplation.
Suddenly, Katherine’s face appeared in his mind once again.
Yes, Katherine was Tyler’s daughter, and she had been getting close to him these past few days. He knew what her intentions were.
He remembered the last time he saw Katherine, he was supposed to attend a meeting, and he had left a document in his office.
When he returned, the document was gone.
This incident alarmed Kevin, so he investigated the surveillance footage of that day and discovered that Katherine had taken the document.
Since then, Maltz Group had started their attacks against him.
He clenched his fists, furious that Katherine had betrayed him.
With these thoughts in mind, Kevin was infuriated and went to Katherine’s apartment.
He kicked the door open and saw Katherine sitting inside.
“Why are you here…?” Katherine opened her mouth, but as she looked into Kevin’s enraged eyes, she instantly understood what had happened.
Kevin rushed towards Katherine and demanded, “Did you take my document?”
Katherine had never seen Kevin like this before and shook her head in fear. “What document? I don’t know.”
“Don’t play dumb with me!” Kevin yelled, “I was wondering why I couldn’t find that document anywhere. So, it was you behind it all. No wonder I suddenly ran into you on the street that day. Was it all part of your plan?”
Kevin’s words widened Katherine’s eyes, but she continued shaking her head. “No, it wasn’t me. You’ve got the wrong person.”
“I’m disappointed in you.” Kevin’s eyes turned ice-cold, leaving Katherine unsure of what to do.
“It really wasn’t me…”
Tears welled up in the corners of Katherine’s eyes as she grabbed Kevin’s hand and started explaining.
Kevin closed his eyes and handed the surveillance footage from his phone to Katherine. “I wanted to give you some face, but I didn’t expect you to be too afraid to admit your own actions. I must have misjudged you.”
As Katherine watched herself in the footage, she opened her mouth in astonishment.
“You did it on purpose?”
That day, Katherine hadn’t noticed the camera in the office. It turned out that Kevin deliberately hid it to monitor her.
“If I hadn’t done that, how would I know what scheming ideas you had behind my back?”
Kevin also admitted it openly, leaving Katherine thunderstruck.
