Chapter 1098 The Real Paternoster Square Executive (VI)

• On the phone, Zeng Mingjie’s face got darker by the second. He knew his old man’s cautious streak. Back then, if he hadn’t laid the groundwork for ages and made the odds nearly foolproof, Zeng Chengwen would never have signed off on those later investments to chase Regal Peaks. But right now, Mingjie was openly pushing against Madison Sawyer—dead set on cutting off every path she had. Even if he won in the end and crushed her, the price they’d pay would be steep. Of course Zeng Chengwen didn’t want that.
• The kicker? Mingjie still didn’t truly hold the reins. He could only nod along. His expression was stormy, but his voice stayed smooth as glass: “Dad, I get it…”
• After a long lecture, Zeng Chengwen wrapped it up: “I’ll keep funding the project, but the secondary market is way too risky. Stop throwing cash into that meat grinder. Worst case, I’ll find people to acquire more so she can’t outpace us. You’ve got enough on your plate—don’t meddle. And those moves you mentioned? Money isn’t the main issue. If anyone digs them up, you know the fallout. I might not be able to shield you. So for now, forget what Madison’s doing. Keep your seat steady and you’ll be fine.”
