Mila had no idea that Giselle had come over and even entered the study.
Even if she did, she wouldn’t have cared.
As soon as the person left, she picked up the phone and called Miranda Wayne.
Mila.
Miranda’s voice on the other end sounded slightly groggy, as if she had just woken up.
How are things? Has Roland Lockwood given you any trouble?
Mila was a bit worried. Letting Miranda deal with such a dangerous person was a last resort, and her heart was constantly on edge.
No trouble at all.
Although she had been quite frightened, Miranda didn’t mention the incident with the gun. After splashing some water on her face, she felt a bit more composed.
Mila, I’m planning to collaborate with Roland. What do you think?
Collaborate with Roland?
Mila was taken aback, her voice rising slightly. What are you thinking? The Lockwood family is knee-deep in problems right now. It’s dangerous for you to get involved…
But it’s the only and quickest way.
Miranda interrupted her.
Besides, Mila, you said it yourself. Ever since I saved him that day, I can’t just walk away, can I? We’re already in the thick of it, and with us unable to leave the country, working with him is the safest bet. Better to have one less enemy than one more.
Mila remained silent, knowing Miranda was right.
But still…
Mila’s mind buzzed at the mention of a familiar name, and she blurted out the question.
The Forest Team, why?
At this, Miranda couldn’t help but express her admiration—
The team is led by an incredibly talented individual who’s a close friend of Roland’s. They returned from abroad earlier this year.
I’ve heard that many major corporations are eager to work with him, especially for the ‘CN Model’ he developed. Even Lysander has shown interest in collaborating, but it seems the Lockwood family had already secured their partnership, making a significant move.
Originally, the Lockwood and Montgomery families were on the same level, but the Montgomerys had a much greater influence. If this storm passes and the partnership with the Forest Team goes through, aligning with national projects, they might not quite match up to the Montgomerys yet, but they’ll certainly be beyond Lysander’s reach. Then the Wayne family can tie themselves to the Lockwoods, and you won’t have to be under his control anymore…
Miranda grew more and more enthusiastic, unaware of the silence on the other end of the line.
Mila clutched her phone, her gaze unfocused and fragmented. Could the Forest Team really be the one she was thinking of?
