Chapter 102

• The board meeting was in full swing, and the atmosphere was tense with anticipation. Executives and stakeholders sat around a long table, murmuring among themselves. The chairman, an imposing figure with silver hair and a commanding presence, stood up and called for attention.
• "Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for being here today. I have an important announcement to make. After much consideration, I have decided that we should partner with the Alfred family, especially since they are no longer associated with the Rojas Alvaro family."
• There was a murmur of surprise and interest around the table. Lilian, sitting next to her father, felt her heart sink. She glanced at Mr. Alfred, who seemed unfazed and determined. As the meeting continued, Lilian's mind raced with memories of the chaos and heartache their family had endured because of their previous business entanglements.
