Chapter 668

Damian's illegitimate childhood had not been easy. His mother had trained him to infiltrate the Tanner family and inherit their assets. Although he possessed extensive theoretical business knowledge, he lacked practical experience. Now, in charge of a new project, he was eager to achieve success.

Arianna, however, saw through his impatience. She didn't object, saying, "I think you're right, but Mr. Hall also has valid points. He's experienced in this field. Perhaps he sees things we don't."

This only fueled Damian's anger. "What could he possibly see that we can't?! He's deliberately undermining me—he's resentful of my management!" He slammed the table. "Ari! I don't understand why you value him so much! He's notorious in this circle; my friends say he's impossible to work with. How could he manipulate you into putting him on a pedestal?" He implied Nathaniel had deceived Arianna.

Arianna's face hardened. "Damian, you're overreacting. Mr. Hall made mistakes in the past, but that's in the past. No one is perfect. We can't deny his experience and insight in this industry."

"But—"

"Calm down. I'll speak with Mr. Hall, hear his perspective, and encourage him to consider your side." She placed a reassuring hand on his shoulder.

"Really?!" Damian's face lit up.

"Silly boy, we're family. Who else would I support?" Arianna smiled. "Relax. Focus on your strengths and deliver results."

"Don't worry. I'll secure the world's top perfumers and break into the market!"

Arianna nodded. "Go ahead. However, Damian, remember our company's budget is limited"

"What?! We don't have money?!" Damian's eyes widened.

"We have limited funds. You know how expensive top perfumers are. Stay within budget, and you have my full support!"

Damian's confidence soared. "Okay! We'll discuss pricing beforehand. I have many contacts. With your support, I'll achieve great things!"

"I'm looking forward to it!"

The moment Damian left, the smile vanished from Arianna's face. Her expression changed instantly. She pressed the intercom. "Come to my office." Releasing the button, she leaned back, a subtle smile playing on her lips. The show was about to begin.
