A Life Debt Repaid novel Chapter 1393

The conference room was at once lively, with everyone's attention fixed on Ryan, most of them admiring.

On the other hand, Sam suffered rebuke as soon as he came. Although he had managed to gain some extent of approval now, he was once again anonymous with Ryan's appearance.

Quinn glanced at Sam just then, taking note of the change in expression on his face.

So she was not the only one annoyed with Ryan's presence—he was too.

Saunderia was now back on track under Sam's management, and Ryan would have interrupted the current flow of events.

It was also obvious that the board preferred Ryan, even if he never helped with Saunderia at all—all his intelligence was used entirely on scientific research, and science and business were two completely different things!

Naturally, Quinn did not say that out loud—Ryan was doing this because he wanted to help Saunderia out of their current crisis, so she had no reason to complain.

It was the same for Sam too.

However, Ryan looked pointedly at Sam just then and asked, "Are you upset that I'm here, Sam?"

"Nope," Sam replied. "Nothing's better since you're here to help. You're smart, and the company would develop further with you."

"I hope that's spoken from your heart." Ryan smiled in disdain, never sparing Sam at all times.

How could Sam change so dramatically?! This was the same Sam whom he always thought to be insignificant!

Still, Gilbert spoke up just then. "Since you're here, Ryan, you should know about Saunderia's situation as well. Why don't you tell us what you think? Us old folks would like to hear what you young people have to say."

He obviously had high hopes for Ryan.

Ryan in turn remained calm and composed, having had Peter Lang work overnight to brief him about the company's situation—especially on the joint venture.

As such, Ryan said bluntly, "I personally think that after everyone here and my father has given their all the new energy car project, I propose to keep it instead of so-called scrapping it."
