CHAPTER 147
"There's no perfect choice here, Master West.”“Every option carries significant risks. What we need to do is assess those risks carefully, make the best decision we can with incomplete information, and then be prepared to adapt if we've chosen wrong." He immediately said as he stared at Victor Langston West.He moved back to the desk, picking up a pen and pulling out a fresh sheet of paper."Let me lay out what I see as the risks of each possible course of action, and then we can discuss what makes the most sense given everything else we're dealing with."Mr Freeman began writing as he spoke."Option A: We bring Abigail Clark in immediately, hear what she has to say, evaluate her information, and potentially incorporate her into our operations.”“The advantages are obvious…if she's genuine, we gain valuable intelligence and possibly another ally. We don't miss a potential opportunity. We show ourselves to be open to assistance from unexpected sources.""But the risks, Master West…the

Cough! Cough!! Mr Freeman immediately coughed twice before answering Victor Langston West's question at the moment. “Master West…” "I think we can't rule that out," Mr Freeman said carefully. "But it's more complicated than that, because there are multiple possibilities, and each one carries different risks. Let me walk you through them, Master West, because this is important." He held up one finger. "Possibility one, Abigail Clark is exactly what she claims to be…a journalist or investigator who has independently gathered information about the Vandels and your situation, who genuinely wants to help for her own reasons, and whose timing is coincidental rather than suspicious.” “If this is true, then she could be an incredibly valuable asset. Real journalists with real evidence and real commitment to exposing corruption can be powerful allies." He immediately said at the moment as he stared at Victor Langston West almost immediately. He immediately held up a second fin
CHAPTER 145
Mr Freeman was immediately stunned by the name Abigail Clark.“Mr Freeman, what do you think of her…Abigail Clark?”“Should we entertain her and see if she can help us with anything useful against Tai Vandel, her evil grandfather, Lord Vandel and most especially my stupid ex-wife Vera Hartwell and her entire family, the Hartwells.”“I really want to see what they had become after she divorced me and remarried to a dude who they obviously thought was richer than me, not knowing that I'm a West family heir…” Victor Langston West immediately said.“Actually, you are the last living heir and inheritor of everything in the West family Master West.” Peterson, the servant who had come to report that Abigail Clark was at the gate immediately said.Mr Freeman immediately took a deep breath and began, his expression transforming from the confident advisor of moments before into something far more contemplative, more cautious, more weighted with the gravity of what they were discussing."Master
CHAPTER 144
"We always have choices. We could walk away entirely, focus on rebuilding the West family business empire, living successful lives without pursuing vengeance. That's a legitimate choice." Mr Freeman immediately said.He turned back to face Victor Langeston West immediately."Or we could spend decades trying to build a case through legitimate channels, knowing that the Vandels will likely corrupt or circumvent our efforts at every turn, possibly succeeding eventually but more likely watching them continue to prosper while we grow old chasing an impossible dream. That's also a choice.""Or," Mr. Freeman continued, his voice strengthening, "we could accept the alliance Lord Xander and Rico are offering, use their resources and intelligence to strike at the Vandels effectively, accept the manageable risks that come with that alliance, and actually accomplish the goal of seeing your parents' murderers destroyed.”“That's the choice I recommend, but it is still a choice, not an inevitabilit
CHAPTER 143
Mr. Freeman smiled slightly, a knowing expression that suggested he had anticipated this question."Of course they'll expect something in return, Master West. Nobody provides significant assistance without expecting reciprocity…that's basic human nature, whether we're talking about criminals or legitimate businesspeople.”Mr Freeman immediately said and shook his head before continuing almost at the same time.“The question isn't whether obligations will be created, the question is whether those obligations are manageable and whether they're worth the benefit we receive."He immediately pushed off from the desk and began pacing again, his analytical mind clearly working through the calculation."Think about it this way Master West, Lord Xander and Rico want the Vandels destroyed for their own reasons. Their interests align with ours in that specific goal. They're offering to provide intelligence, resources, and strategic support to help us accomplish that shared objective.”“In return
