Hamish waved and interjected, "If she says not to mind her, we won't. Please have a seat, Mr. Shane."

Shane stopped overthinking and sat down to discuss halting the Knights' development. He said the exact words he had told Xavier, with Hamish now the target.

"Mr. Hamish, you're a visionary. That's why I came to you for help. Getting in the Knights' way will benefit our companies significantly. You wouldn't refuse this proposal, would you?"

Hamish was drinking water when he heard that. He immediately spat it out and coughed violently. "Cough! Cough, cough! Ahem!"

Hamish glanced at Bonnie and thought, 'I wonder how Shane will react once he realizes Ivor's fiancee is sitting across from him.

'Also, Bonnie isn't just that-she's also the chairwoman of Tang Fusion Studios. Saying he wants to go against them is a death sentence.'

Meanwhile, Bonnie remained calm after hearing Shane's proposal. She showed no emotional fluctuations whatsoever.

Shane did not notice Hamish's gaze toward Bonnie. Instead, he heard Hamish coughing hysterically and asked with concern, "Are you okay, Mr. Hamish?"

Hamish patted his chest and gathered himself before responding, "I'm fine. Thank you for your concern, Mr. Shane."

Upon hearing he was okay, Shane continued, "Mr. Hamish, what do you think about my proposal? Would you consider working with me?"

Hamish did not know how to respond and sneakily glanced at Bonnie. The latter sensed it and looked back at him calmly.

She withdrew her gaze from him and looked at Shane, asking softly, "Is there a reason for that? Do you have a grudge against the Knights, or is it because you don't want them to hinder your development?"

Shane was stunned as he turned to Bonnie with a hint of doubt.

'Didn't she tell us to pretend she isn't here? Now she's interrupting. What's her relationship with Hamish?'

Shane was confused, looking at Hamish. However, the latter simply shrugged, confusing Shane even more. Of course, Shane did not respond to Bonnie. Instead, he continued to analyze the situation and persuade Hamish.

"Please consider my proposal. After all, the Knights are becoming stronger every day. It's suppressing companies like ours. Although I admit Tang Fusion Studios's momentum is strong, it'll be challenging for you to keep up if the Knights continue to outgrow us."

Hamish remained silent and gazed at Bonnie occasionally. Meanwhile, she remained indifferent, as if she were not involved.

Seeing that Hamish seemed undecided, Shane frowned. Still, the latter refused to give up. "So, Mr. Hamish, it's urgent to suppress the Knights. Once we bring them down, we can share their wealth and broaden our horizons. Then, maybe we can become the second richest in Pyralis."

Once he finished speaking, Bonnie lightly tapped the tabletop and said, "Mr. Shane, you haven't answered my question."

Shane was not in a good mood because Hamish had been silent the whole time. The former's expression grew cold as Bonnie pressed him for a response. "It's a private matter, and I have no answers for you, miss."
