Chapter 380 Getting More Mysterious
Eleanor’s information sparked a bold idea. I knew Matthew liked cutting costs because he constantlysought to reduce expenses and increase profits. It was a perfect vulnerability to use against him
I recalled advising him not to focus solely on profits. After all, being consumed by greed would onlylead
to failure. I remember Matthew scoffing at me, calling women timid and having no foresight.
