Morris rolled his eyes and said directly, "Then you take it back. We at Rodriguez Group have always done business like this. No matter what it is, it's all about competition, isn't it? Since it's a competition, let everyone rely on their own abilities."
He tried to phrase it delicately, and besides, Morris himself believed in this philosophy.
Men are inherently hunters, and taking the initiative is their nature.
Even animals know to use duels to attract the attention of females; the winner becomes the king. If you passively wait, you increase the risk of losing your prey, as there are other males in the jungle.
Moreover, the Rodriguez family is the leader of the werewolf clan, and Colin is the Alpha of the werewolf pack. It goes without saying that the instinct to take the initiative, to fight to the death, and to snatch his prey is deeply embedded in his genes.
Colin gave him a glance, and there was a rare hint of pleasure in his eyes.

Sometimes she felt as if it were all a dream.Justin sat beside her, still happy to be at this event, "Eranthe, I bought two tickets for a concert. Want to join?"Eranthe turned to him, "No need. I'm not familiar with music."Justin, slightly disappointed, didn't see the shadow in her eyes, "Oh, I thought you liked classical music. I saw you chatting happily with that cellist before."Eranthe was surprised, "That was a long time ago."Blushing, Justin hinted, "Yeah, I've been keeping an eye on you."Feeling awkward, Eranthe replied."Your little sweetheart is being flirted with. How's that guy doing?"Frank's annoying tone chimed in.Colin glanced back and saw Justin, that fool, sitting with Eranthe.He, without concern, replied, "She's not interested in him."Frank had no doubts. After all, having been with Colin, if she still chose that guy, wouldn't she be insane?During their conversation, the ho
Selena put on her high heels and gracefully left.Eranthe played with her phone on the bed, initially planning to get some work done. Surprisingly, Ana sent her a message, asking her to come to the room upstairs.Eranthe didn't think twice, brought her laptop, tidied up her hair, and left the room.When she reached the top floor, she wondered why Ana, who should be staying on the 39th floor, was now on the 98th floor. This area was probably reserved for high-level executives of major companies. Could Vice President Hill also be here?Eranthe quickened her pace. When she arrived at the door of the room, she found it was open. She knocked, "Ana?"No one responded. Eranthe left the door slightly ajar and entered. "Ana?"The presidential suite was empty, with a computer set up in the middle of the meeting area and a black suitcase.Eranthe worried that she might have entered the wrong room. Just as she was about to leave, the door to the
He would pamper her, indulge her, but he wouldn't and couldn't love her.That was the limit of what he could offer.His selfish and cunning nature, wrapped in a handsome exterior, aimed solely at achieving his goals, no matter the means.He would never reflect on his actions, and being a virtuous man wasn't his code of conduct.His behavior mirrored his business style. What he wanted, he would aggressively pursue, obtaining it as quickly as possible. As for the process, did it really matter?Eranthe pushed Colin away, and he, unguarded and unfazed, accepted it. When she pushed him to the ground, he adjusted his posture calmly, appearing unruffled. The towel around his waist loosened, but he remained composed.Eranthe pretended not to notice, even though she was fuming."Colin, do you think I'm stupid? There must be something you hinted to Ana. Otherwise, how could she do such a thing?"Ignoring whether she could deduce their re
But the hurtful words were spoken by him.If he had treated herself as an object in their usual interactions, she wouldn't be here now, listening to him say these things.Her mind was a mess right now; all she wanted was to get away from him.Without a word, Eranthe picked up her laptop and started to leave."If you dare to walk out of this room, I can't guarantee that I won't do something."Eranthe's footsteps halted. "This is what you call reluctant?""I'm reluctant to lose you. Any problem with that? Moreover, since you don't appreciate it, this business deal has no investment value. Shouldn't I withdraw?" Colin said.Eranthe bit her lip. She really wanted to leave, but what about Urania?"Are you threatening me?""I wouldn't have to if you cooperated."Eranthe was furious and threw everything on the floor."Aren't you just trying to sleep with me? Why beat around the bush?" she said, starting to unbutto
However, she never expected that Colin, who played as if he knew the game inside out."Why are you looking at me like that?"Eranthe widened her eyes. "You play games too?"Colin raised an eyebrow. "Am I that old now? Don't I have my own hobbies?"There was a time when he was quite obsessed with these games. Knowing he wouldn't have time to play in the future, he spent time extravagantly, playing crazily. However, it had been a long time since he touched them.Eranthe was dumbfounded. "You really don't look like it."Colin chuckled. "Do you know the most popular games on the market?"Eranthe nodded. "From a foreign company.""Yes, mine.""Eh? What about this one?""Also mine. The outside world knows it's acquired by a subsidiary of the Rodriguez Group, but that's just for the convenience of my management."Eranthe was surprised, forgetting to be angry with him. However, Colin quickly finished the boss battl
"You voluntarily talked to Uncle King.""And what about Matthew?"Well, the debt doubles.Eranthe stared at the capitalist, "You're quite the businessperson. According to your calculations, everything happens without my knowledge, and I'm left with the debt?""Well, of course. I'm a heartless capitalist. Why wouldn't I exploit you? I'm not a good person in your eyes," Colin coldly spoke words of frustration.But Eranthe knew he wasn't like Dylan.She was now a bit conflicted. If he threatened her, she genuinely didn't know what to do. However, he was currently speaking in a low tone, making it impossible for her to even utter a simple "get lost."She was tightly under his control."I promise, what happened that night won't occur again. Besides, I won't let you feel uncomfortable," Colin assured."You've already made me uncomfortable," Eranthe replied.Colin leaned back in his chair, "Are you talking
Eranthe was not particularly close to anyone in the company, except Acacia. Initially, she attracted attention because of her looks, and many male colleagues pursued her. This led to gossip among female colleagues, but eventually, they realized that Eranthe treated everyone the same way. She didn't flirt or use charm to achieve her goals, which eased tensions.Selena smiled, "Some people may not like her, but she and I have no conflicts of interest. Besides, people are strange. They only envy those who are similar to them. If someone is too different, they can only admire. I used to think she had plastic surgery on her face, but I can't see any signs. She's naturally beautiful. I even suspected that Hephaestus, the god of creation, made her as his masterpiece."Ana's words held a deeper meaning, "Well, some people are indeed lucky. Surely, they'll have great fortunes in the future."Selena was once again surprised because Ana, being of Korean descent with Britis
When she thought of how she let him manipulate her, pulled into his rhythm, she couldn't help but blush.When Colin returned, he saw her looking in the mirror. He embraced her from behind, kissing her earlobe, "I ordered what you like. Will you stay with me tonight?"Eranthe sighed, "You're so difficult."Every time, she had to break her own principles for him, and he always had to stick around until she agreed.As soon as Colin heard her say this, he knew she had agreed. A slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.The doorbell rang, and Eranthe nudged him aside."Go answer the door."She didn't want to face anyone like this.Colin couldn't let the staff open the door themselves. He walked through the living room to the entrance. When he opened the door, his face darkened.It wasn't room service at the door but a woman.A spaghetti strap dress hugged her sexy and curvaceous figure. Seeing Colin open the do
