Lucas sighed. "That's a dangerous game, Matthew. If they think you're actually leaving, they might double down to force you out."

Angel took a deep breath, glancing at her tablet. "Well, if we want to shake them up, we don't have to wait. Some of our investors are already considering diversifying their assets elsewhere. Singapore, Japan, and the U.S. have all expressed interest in Sentinel expanding operations in their regions."
Matthew nodded. "Good. Start making calls. Let's see who's willing to offer us better terms."
