Despite these brutal attacks, Matthias secures backing from a real estate tycoon, a famous food critic, and a catering investor. Through fierce competitions, Duncan’s scheme collapses completely. Matthias emerges victorious, building a booming catering empire driven by sincere craftsmanship and an unyielding spirit that withstands every attempt to break him.
