“Yes, why didn’t I think of that? Frank is right! We have to cut ties with Flynn completely!”
“Hasn’t Flynn caused enough trouble for the Kaur family? It must be at least five times. It’s fine if he ruins himself, but he can’t drag us down with him!”
“This reputation must be clarified! I don’t want to be scared because of Flynn anymore!”
The members of the Kaur family couldn’t help but feel a chill as they recalled the past.
Flynn was a troublemaker, especially during the incident with Luca. If it weren’t for Lilia’s timely arrival, the Kaur family would have been finished!
Charlotte said, “This is the time for you to make great strides, leading the Kaur family to the forefront of the elite. If Flynn causes trouble with any big shots again, it will be a loss for your career!”
Paulina added, “Madeline, they’re right. Regardless of the reason, this reputation must be clarified!”
“Your future cannot have a trace of Flynn, otherwise, that jinx will definitely affect your luck!”
After considering for a while, Madeline also thought that this idea was good.
Matteo had completely withdrawn from the upper echelons of the Kaur family in order to make way for Madeline. He was currently in a semi-retired state, staying at home due to his recent recovery from a serious illness and would not easily go out in the next few months. He wouldn’t receive any news from the outside world.
Madeline and Matteo’s social circles didn’t overlap. If she made a public announcement on her social media, blocking Matteo from seeing it, he definitely wouldn’t find out!
Thinking of this, Madeline immediately edited a message and posted it on her social media, and then blocked Matteo from seeing it.
“May we each find peace and no longer disturb each other! Happy divorce!”
She attached a photo of the divorce certificate.
Perfect!
With just a few words and a photo of the divorce certificate, she was able to completely sever ties with Flynn.
Madeline also messaged Scarlet, informing her of the divorce and instructing her not to slip up in front of Matteo.
Scarlet simply replied with an “Oh.”
She didn’t ask for the reason or call Madeline, as if she had known about it already.
“Perhaps Maria had already told her!” Madeline immersed herself in joy, not thinking much about it.
Little did she know that Scarlet had been excited for half an hour already and was even planning to call Flynn and comfort him at Thodell Mansion that night!
With Flynn gone from her life, Madeline felt relieved both mentally and morally. How could she not be overjoyed?
The Kaur family celebrated once again!
Frank waved his hand and decided to book several tables at a hotel. Tonight, they would party until they dropped!
Just at that moment, Madeline received a call from the Peninsula Group.
“Ms. Kaur, our inspection team just returned from the construction site and found many issues with our collaborative project. According to the contract, you will have to compensate two hundred million.”
“These problems need to be rectified quickly, otherwise, the Peninsula Group will increase the compensation amount!”
“I will send the list of issues to you now. Please transfer the compensation as soon as possible, or the Peninsula Group will proceed with legal action.”
After saying that, the person hung up the phone.
Shortly after, Madeline received the list of project issues.
Marcel had given Madeline a large-scale chain hotel project. The construction cost was around 500 million, but because of Flynn’s influence, Marcel gave the Kaur’s Group a contract worth 800 million.
The Kaur family had limited capabilities and couldn’t handle such a large project, so they partnered with another construction company for development.
The Kaur family would profit 200 million, while the other construction company would profit 100 million.
And now, the project was only halfway through, and problems had arisen?
After a momentary confusion, Madeline quickly started to study the issues.
“Deviation in wall surface flatness, no grounding wire, drainage pipes not equipped with fireproof rings… These are all minor issues!”
“If the Peninsula Group is not satisfied, we can fix them. Two hundred million in compensation? It’s absurd!”
Madeline browsed through the documents that were sent, her expression becoming serious.
Based on past experience, these issues were minor and had minimal impact on the overall project. The Kaur family had encountered similar problems in previous projects, and the other companies didn’t make a fuss about it.
Why was the Peninsula Group being so meticulous this time?
“However, these requirements are stated in the contract! We didn’t comply with them, so it’s reasonable for them to demand compensation!” Charlotte expressed her concerns.
Everyone from the Kaur family fell silent.
“These are just minor issues, Madeline. Call them again and let them know we’ll fix the problems. It should be enough,” Frank waved his hand, dismissing the situation.
Madeline called back and relayed Frank’s suggestion.
“That won’t work. It’s clearly stated in the contract that there needs to be a major inspection when the project is halfway through. If you didn’t fulfill the requirements, you have to compensate.”
“And this is Marcel’s request!”
The other party remained firm and hung up the phone once again.
Only then did the members of the Kaur family realize the seriousness of the situation. Their faces turned grave one by one.
“I have Mr. Hill’s number. I’ll give him a call!” Madeline dialed the number directly.
He was the most influential figure on her phone.
Last time she visited the Peninsula Group, she even added him as a friend on Facebook and created a separate group for Tristan, Charlie, and Corbin, wanting to add them as friends as well. However, during the signing of the contract with the three companies, they were all at a meeting in Energence Pharmaceuticals, so her plan didn’t work out.
“He blocked me!”
Madeline couldn’t even send him a message!
“What? Wasn’t Mr. Hill very friendly before? Why did he suddenly…”
“Yeah! Everything was going smoothly. I even ran into him at the construction site, and he even offered me a cigarette!”
“Oh my god! If the Peninsula Group really demands two hundred million in compensation, this contract is worthless!”
The members of the Kaur family panicked completely.
They couldn’t understand what had happened.
They had expected to receive the two hundred million in profits from this contract and planned to distribute the money as year-end bonuses. Now they had to pay it back. It felt like a death sentence!
Moreover, they hadn’t even received the two hundred million. It had all been invested in Acebegron Clear Relief!
Madeline was also baffled.
Since she added Marcel on Facebook, he had always liked her posts. Madeline had thought that Marcel had a favorable impression of her, so why would he suddenly block her?
“It must be Flynn’s doing!”
“That bastard has a good relationship with Rose. He must have convinced her to make Marcel do this to us!”
Charlotte said with resentment.
Her words caused the members of the Kaur family to erupt in anger.
“How dare he! That scum is seeking revenge on us! He’s truly a heartless wolf!”
“That trash has a wicked mind. He’ll be stabbed to death sooner or later!”
“He puts on a facade but acts differently behind our backs. Matteo still favors him. Look at the things that scum has done! We shouldn’t have helped that mother and son!”
The members of the Kaur family cursed and gnashed their teeth.
They unanimously believed that Flynn was behind all of this.
“How shameless!” Madeline’s face darkened as well, feeling furious about Flynn’s despicable actions.
She found a secluded place and made a phone call.
After hanging up, the members of the Kaur family immediately surrounded her.
“Madeline, were you just calling Mr. Fletcher? He can definitely handle this!” Frank suggested.
Madeline shook her head and said, “We can’t rely on others for everything, it will make us seem useless. Mr. Washington knows some high-level personnel at the Peninsula Group, and he agreed to meet me at the Peninsula Hotel. He’s willing to help me inquire about it!”
