Master Valerius placed exceptional importance on the partnership with the Linton Family, which was why he had entrusted such a crucial collaboration to Liam Valerius to manage. Logically speaking, as long as the partnership was secured, it was a win-win project with guaranteed profits.
With a personality like Liam Valerius's—short-sighted and glory-seeking—how could he possibly watch such a promising project be handed over to Damien Valerius? For that reason, Liam had been openly and covertly obstructing any contact between Damien's team and their counterparts in Portcove. His goal was to prevent them from successfully signing the contract or, in other words, to sabotage Damien's efforts so that Master Valerius would reassign the project to him.
