Chapter 1005 An Unexpected Decision
After waiting several days, I finally received news about Matthew.But what surprised me was his astonishing decision, which truly made me see him in a new light.He decided to abandon Ardora and filed for bankruptcy.All ongoing construction projects would enter the auction process to alleviate the burden of high debts, helping him eliminate this baggage.

The follow-up design for San Cosbech is in progress!”Atticus laughed. "I was right.""It seems you understand your opponent well. I can rest easy now."After chatting for a while, we hung up. Carol walked in again and poured me a cup of coffee."Don't forget about the cocktail party today, Chloe.""What cocktail party?""The business networking event for the second half of the year," Carol reminded me."Oh," I replied unenthusiastically. "I won't go. It won’t benefit us. It's a waste of time, and I need to go home and spend time with Ava tonight.""But I have news that Liora will be attending," Carol said.I suddenly perked up. "She's going?""Yes," Caro
