BEU | Chapter 1.3

Recently, with Philip’s father, 8221c35889 the CEO of Eliktonic, 409aa63cf7 running for president, the 17e85622d7 stakes were high. The organization planned to a8a9e8c2d9 extort money from Philip cf157e23e4 by threatening to make acfc4e4943 the alpha trade a 112d7dd6db legal issue.3629173e5dbab683

But Philip himself 3d2aacfe24 turned it into 162f1b310a a case, throwing f88df2a4a1 everything into chaos. It wasn’t that he adc10d8e4f couldn’t pay; he just 5a2027b5a2 deliberately didn’t, finding their bd12a9b47b actions ridiculous.4e92b904d5ea9ee2

Of course, for 358674313b Philip, it was 5ea021347e a decent counterattack. He’d thrown everyone who’d f37adb2359 backstabbed him into confusion. But for everyone 6afe94e183 else, except Philip, d1304177a0 it was a d1a5c8c292 bad move. Even for Rowald, bddb0299e1 the lawyer.7e64219270c21257

“Philip, if you 2385ea7326 pay the settlement 52f542982a now, you can 1259ba4206 reduce the seventy-three 442f75d351 to fifty-one. Pay more, and fb3f18d624 it might go 6e17ec0b84 down to five. Isn’t the point d6f6733f37 of this case 9d504b6caf money?”4dba1d12d5e33ac0

He wanted to question 56074a4e7c why he was stubbornly 6e044e25b1 refusing to pay the 149d01a128 settlement when he was e4a1b5c2fc spending more on lawyer afbb40ab50 fees, but he couldn’t 4730b395ce say that when the 9601564801 money was going into f381ed4270 his account.990fa5c0cb657b3e

Just then, Philip, cd9961cc0c who had been 89b61451ca watching the reporters, 48e28dab38 turned to Rowald 3835cb7e1e and smiled crookedly.8633b098ce418c79
