Chapter 1175Chapter 1175 All My Fault
At this moment, Sloan was already filled with regret for getting himself into a huge mess.
The lucrative sector of new energy had always been managed by Leroy. Aware of its profitability, he
had volunteered himself to oversee the project.
Yet, as soon as he took over, problems arose in the development of new energy.
He believed in his heart that Lucas had sold them inferior goods, and so, he harbored the intention of
teaching Lucas a lesson.
Unexpectedly, he shot himself in the foot.
I just wanted to show a little bit of my authority, that's all. But I was indirectly slapped in the face by a
woman. Damn it! This hurts!
The fiery pain was unbearable, making his head spin and filling him with regret.
Lucas maintained a poker face as he looked at Sloan. He then gazed at Ashlyn, a fleeting look of
affection flashing in his eyes.
Having been defended by her, he felt a sweetness in his heart.
“Mr. Nolan, I believe that Mr. Lacey, being such a mature person, surely wouldn't hold a grudge against
a woman like me. However, Section Six has a good relationship with Zaewora, so I sincerely hope that
the next time Mr. Lacey selects his subordinates, he will choose those tactful ones.” Ashlyn then looked
at Sloan, who felt devastated and humiliated. “This time it's fortunate it was us from Section Six. If it
was some other big shot, it could have caused you trouble, Mr. Lacey, and that wouldn't be good.”Once she had spoken her words, Spencer couldn't help but turn his face away. Ms. Berry is simply too
awesome.
He couldn't help but want to laugh out loud, but all he could do was snicker.
Ms. Berry was so harsh that I bet Sloan wish the ground would swallow him whole. What's this about
choosing tactful subordinates or having a good relationship... Hahaha!
What infuriated Sloan even more was that Ashlyn had actually managed to put him in a spot, leaving
him so flabbergasted that he couldn't utter a single word.
That was not even the worst part. She even claimed to be acting for their best interests in Zaewora as if
she was so kind-hearted and genuinely concerned about Zaewora.
Sloan was so furious that he almost fainted on the spot.
He felt humiliated, but he was utterly at a loss for words.
“This woman... I've never heard of such a formidable character in Section Six before! When exactly did
she join Section Six? She's driving me insane!
“
Spencer felt that Ashlyn was simply outrageous.
She remained standing there, calm and composed. Her slender figure radiated a powerful aura,
demanding respect and attention. Where were you people when I was hustling in the underworld?
A faint smile surfaced in Lucas' narrow, deep-set eyes.

She couldn't help but feel her cheeks growing warm.
She, the type of person who wouldn't bat an eyelid even if the sky were collapsing on top of her, was
actually blushing furiously under this man's gaze.
Ashlyn slowly calmed herself down.
Finally, Sloan, who had been silent all along, spoke up reluctantly. “I sincerely apologize. It's indeed my
poor judgment that I didn't choose my subordinates wisely. Please come in, everyone. Please come in
quickly.”
“Sloan... this is where you're wrong. The vice president is right. You should have been more observant
in the past, understand?”
Just as Sloan finally began to speak, another somewhat low voice echoed in the conference room. The
voice was magnetic, and it directly called out Sloan's name.
Ashlyn raised an eyebrow.
So there's a big shot holding the fort inside?
Upon hearing his name being called, Sloan felt even more displeased.
Suppressing the irritation in his heart, he flashed an awkward and stiff smile. “Mr. Cook, you're
absolutely right. It's all my fault. Please, everyone, come in.”
