Chapter 1627:
“In recent years, the major families in Pinetree City have struggled with leadership transitions, making them
even more defensive. They support each other and close ranks against outsiders mainly to prevent Lyhaton’s
families from seizing opportunities. Breaking into that circle won't be easy,” someone said.
“The separation of Pinetree City from Lyhaton left a legacy of bitterness that has only intensified with time. Any
expansion attempt will trigger immediate and coordinated opposition,” another executive chimed in.
“Miss Holland, this endeavor transcends simple business strategy. Even when Mr. Carl Ford drafted these plans
years ago, the path forward remained unclear...”
Even after so many years had passed, Carl's ambitious vision remained unrealized.
The group made their positions clear, yet there was only one unanimous agreement—Corrine needed to be
dissuaded from her plan.
She listened in silence, allowing their arguments to spill across the room. But as tension thickened and voices
grew uncertain, the conversation petered out into an uneasy stillness.
“Are you all finished?” Her voice sliced through the silence—calm, sharp, and ice-cold.
Chairs creaked. Shoulders sagged. Not a single soul dared to respond.
Corrine set her cup down on the polished table. The sound was not loud, yet it landed like a gavel, final and

strike.” Glances darted across the room. No one wanted to meet her eyes. Each person silently prayed someone
else would speak first.
Since taking over, Corrine had earned the group’s admiration. Her decisions were precise, her resolve
unwavering.
She was no ornamental heir from the Ford family—she was a force.

Still, the Ford Group's expansion into Pinetree City was a monumental endeavor. Not even Carl had managed it.
Years ago, he had suggested the very smove, only to be crushed by the united front of Pinetree City’s
entrenched families. Progress had stalled before it ever began.
As the weight of history hung over them, one subordinate finally spoke, his voice tentative. “Miss Holland, the
people in Pinetree City are fiercely territorial. We saw it ourselves during the Holland Group acquisition.”
That single voice cracked the ice. Others, emboldened, began to echo the sentiment. “Exactly. Just look at the
Holland Group acquisition. Behind its collapse is a swamp of entangled debts. There is no profit to speak of.
Anyone who touches it will inherit a mountain of liabilities. It is a tbomb, and everyone knows it. However,
the major families of Pinetree City pushed the court to re-auction it—just to block us. That deal was locked in,
and yet they found a way to throw it into disarray. All that resistance has dragged us back again and again.”
Every passing day bled money from the company’s veins.
