The colder air carried a heavy sense of winter as autumn drew closer to its finishing line. The city seemed to be blanketed in a soft, white mist under the overcast sky.
Aside from the turmoil on Monday, the following weekdays passed without any hitch.
Lariette saw news about the storm of change in Alvord Corporation. She had also heard it beforehand from Ruediger during one of their conversations.
Finally, after his numerous failed attempts to save himself, Matthew Alvord was demoted from the chairman position. His successor was another key figure in the conglomerate.
The fact that the person was on the opposing side certainly stung the arrogant man more.
Lariette thought with a satisfied and vengeful heart, 'Serves him right!'
Matthew and Vincent most likely wouldn't come to bother Ruediger again, much to Lariette's delight. But she knew they had to be vigilant, just in case the Alvords still planned to counterattack.
