Back in the conference room, Hamilton and the board members sat on the side chairs, while on the other side, Riley sat on the main chair, signifying the immense respect Hamilton had for Riley and the Savvy family as a whole. Hamilton was trembling in fear, silently thanking God that he hadn't awakened on the wrong side of things today; otherwise, he could have been in Benjamin Boots' position.
Hamilton spoke anxiously, "I'm Eleanor Hamilton, the current chairman of Attribute Company and head of the Hamilton family." He stood and bowed to his right, the place where Riley was seated.
Since Riley and her entourage had arrived, no introductions had been made, but the respectful demeanor was evident due to the fear of offending the Savvy family and facing the consequences. Chairman Hamilton had been curious about the identities of the young representatives from the Savvy family. He hoped that by introducing himself and leaving a good impression, he might have a chance to work with them in the future. Summoning his courage, he introduced himself.
"I'm Riley Savvy, the second in command of the Savvy family. Nice to meet you, Chairman Hamilton," Riley said in a soft and warm voice that could melt any man listening.
"She is second in command?" Hamilton and the other board members thought. "She is so young. Is it true their leader is also young like them?"
After hearing Riley was the second in command of the Savvy family, Hamilton became even more determined to make a good impression. He was willing to do whatever it took to ensure Riley looked favorably upon him, even if it meant not gaining anything directly from it.
"The honor is mine, Miss Riley. Nice to meet you, too, and everyone from the Savvy family," Chairman Hamilton said with a happy face, bowing to Riley and her companions.
Riley smiled softly and spoke, "I assume you know why we are here, Chairman Hamilton?"
Chairman Hamilton pondered for a few moments in silence, then responded, "Of course, Miss Riley," grinning nervously.
Riley looked at Chairman Hamilton and continued, "That's right. If you already guessed, then things will be easier to discuss." Her expression changed, becoming dead serious. "The Savvy family and our head wish to take over Attribute Company."
Hamilton's face lit up with happiness. "Hahaha, that is okay. We are willing to hand it over to the Savvy family without any problem," he said, trying to mask his nervousness with enthusiasm.
"We can't say no to a family such as Savvy, and there is no one else willing to take the company besides the Savvy family, so you can have it," Hamilton continued, happy but also praying that the meeting would end quickly.
Riley looked at Hamilton with disdain. "Well then, if that's the case, let's get right into the negotiations," she said.
"That's great. Let's finish this as fast as possible. Miss Savvy has many things to do," Hamilton said, instructing his assistant to distribute the contracts to the board members and to Riley.
"This is the contract we wish to agree on. You can read it and see if there is anything that is not to your liking, so you can change it," Hamilton instructed, glancing at Riley.
The contract was heavily skewed to ensure that even though Hamilton would no longer own the company, he would still have influence and shares. This was Hamilton's attempt to curry favor with the Savvy family and grow in power and influence, not just in Starville, but across the whole country.

Riley looked at the contract for a while and then chuckled at how ridiculous and shameless Chairman Hamilton was.
"What's the problem, Miss Riley? Is the contract to your liking? You seem happy," Chairman Hamilton asked, seeing Riley laughing. At that moment, he was filled with happiness and faith that his plan had succeeded. Once the contract was signed, he would become a powerful figure in the country just by being the Savvy family's lapdog.
"You're really shameless, Chairman Hamilton," Riley spoke, her vibe changing to serious and calm. Everyone from the board of directors was surprised by Riley's words but couldn't voice their objections.
"What do you mean, Miss Riley?" Chairman Hamilton asked with wide-open eyes, trying to contain his anger and humiliation from this young woman.
