“…”
At this moment, the conference room was silent, and everyone seemed to be suffocating. They opened their mouths wide and looked at that Miss Brown, unable to believe their ears.
“How is that possible!”
If Hercules Properties had given them twelve million, that would be reasonable because they did owe them, but Hercules Properties gave them fifteen million.
Three million in interest!
Interest!
That’s unbelievable!
Hercules Properties didn’t have to pay interest. They only had to pay them twelve million, but they paid three million more. That’s like they gave Lands Corporation $3 million for nothing.
This was even more unreasonable!
“How is that possible? How could you have gotten that contract? How is that possible.”
Snowy muttered incredulously to herself.
How dared they sign the contract? They even paid three million more?
“Elise, what have you done? This can’t be right.”
Snowy turned to Elise.
“It’s none of your business. I got the contract anyway, and if you don’t believe me, you can call Hercules Properties.”
Elise retorted.
In fact, she didn’t know what was happening. She also thought she had failed, but after a visit to the bathroom, the contract was signed.
It’s been a really weird day.
Things had been going poorly for her but recently she felt like she had been much luckier.
“You!”
Snowy was not happy with Elise’s attitude and on the spot she pulled out her cell phone and called Hercules Properties, “Just wait and see. Your lie just won’t work.”
But after a minute, Snowy hung up the phone. She had a somber expression and didn’t continue the conversation, but everyone in the office had heard them.
“It’s just reasonable that we should pay you three million more as interest.”
Those were the words of Herman Bolton.
He would definitely not pay them back easily, much less likely with any interest.
But now he paid them and with a three million interest!
They may not even earn three million from that ten million project, but he paid three million as interest.
“Grandpa, no matter what, I got this contract, and then according to our deal, that position should be mine. Acting chairman wouldn’t be necessary.”
Elise confronted Gordon Houry directly.
She has always been a strong woman. Her family had never been polite to her, so she didn’t have to be polite to them.
Gordon Houry didn’t say a word, and was still sitting in his head seat.
And at that moment, David came over and sneered, “You got this contract, but your biggest problem is that you messed with Lucas Corporation. By the way, we have a guest today, Miss Brown.”
“Yes.”
Miss Brown turned around and left, bringing back a man not long after.
“Yo, what a coincidence, you two are back.”
It was Reginald Lucas. He walked into the conference room and sat down in one of the chairs. He just looked at Elise and Robin Bailey with such smugness.
“Master Lucas.”
The people in the conference room looked at Reginald Lucas and all greeted him respectfully.
After all, his company was so much bigger than Lands Corporation. They were one of the top three in Stillwater and their strength was well beyond that of Lands Corporation.
“Master Lucas, Hercules Properties signed that contract.”
Snowy came over and said to Reginald Lucas.
“What, they signed it?”
Reginald Lucas frowned and took the copy of the contract that was on top of the table. When he saw the name, his expression turned gloomy, “Is there something wrong with his mind?”
“Reginald Lucas, what are you doing here?”
At this point, Elise stared at this Reginald Lucas and did not look very friendly.
She knew, Reginald Lucas wanted her. At first it was at her home and then it was at the party, but fortunately, he never made it.
“What am I doing here?”
Reginald Lucas put down the contract and sneered, “You should ask yourself. I spent an entire night at the hospital because of your wonderful husband.”
He could still remember the pain.
“That day, you had got seven people with you and you wanted to get my husband drunk but you just never made it. You deserved what you got.”
“I deserved it. I deserved it. Well said.”
Reginald Lucas clapped his hands, “Now that you’ve said that, let’s all be straightforward. I’m here to tell you something today. Lucas Corporation will be on our blacklist tomorrow. We will cut off all your sources. Whether or not you can have food on your plates will be up to me. Understood?”
“I’ll be back the day after tomorrow. You have one day to think about it. If you think you’re wrong, then the day after tomorrow, right here, your husband will kneel down in front of me and apologize, and then I might consider letting you go.” Reginald Lucas stood up and said as he walked away, “You deserved it. By the way, you can also come to my house tonight and we will discuss the future of your company.”
“Reginald Lucas! That’s impossible!”
Elise was going crazy.
He wanted her to make Robin Bailey kneel and apologize to him in her company? He’s her husband.
Going to him tonight?
Everyone knew what he wanted from her! What an arrogant snob!
“Robin Bailey, do you know what you’ve done? Do you know how much Lands Corporation is going to lose?” Suddenly, Snowy started to scold Robin Bailey.
“Yeah, you’re just a beggar. What gives you the right to be involved in Lands Corporation, and what gives you the right to be involved in the Houry family. Do you think you’re qualified?”
“If you really know what a terrible mistake you have made, then the day after tomorrow, you come here, get on your knees to Master Lucas, and apologize.”
“Elise, you’re one of us. If you really know what a terrific mistake you’re making, can you stand to see Lands Corporation go bankrupt because of this guy? That’s Lucas Corporation! Tell your rubbish that he has to apologize no matter what!”
Robin Bailey suddenly became the focus of the whole family.
Lucas Corporation would come at Lands Corporation because of Robin Bailey. This tramp was the cause of this crisis and they now looked like they could not wait to skin Robin Bailey alive. “Come on, let’s go home.” Elise looked at those gloomy faces and felt outrageous, and immediately she took Robin Bailey’s hand and left.
