Callum was sent here by Anna today to talk to Sophia about buying their house, but he did not expect that Sophia would present him with a one-sided contract termination as soon as he arrived.
“This is the termination agreement. Take a look. If you’re not satisfied with the terms, we can talk about it now. You can ask for as much money as you want, as I have plenty.”
She threw down a pen, and it was placed on the table together with the agreement. “Just fill in the amount that you want.”
Upon seeing this, Callum frowned.
Baffled, Callum opened his mouth to speak. “This—”
“Sophia!”
Callum did not know why Anne was here, and he was even more puzzled when Anne suddenly slammed the table and shouted at Sophia. “Don’t be shameless! Ronney Group only cooperated with you because we think highly of you. Who do you think you are? You’re a b*stard, so you don’t even have the right to cooperate with the Yard family in the first place! And yet you have the nerve to terminate the contract? A b*stard is a b*stard; you’ll never amount to anything!”
In Anne’s opinion, the Yard family was the most powerful existence in the world. It was one’s blessings to be able to work with Ronney Group; in fact, it was the chance of a lifetime.
Not only did Sophia not kneel down to thank the Lord, but she even dared to terminate the contract!
Callum’s face paled.
Why is Anne here? This fool!
Sophia was so mad that a bitter laugh escaped her. Looking at Callum, she tried to be as kind as she possibly could. “Mr. Callum, I’m sorry. I’m a b*stard child, so working together has indeed been an insult to you and the Yard family’s reputation. Sign this and stamp here while you’re at it. Shae, bring the ink pad.”
Shae came over and with a thud, an ink pad was thrown onto the table.
Callum started, “Is this—”
He just wanted to buy a house, not terminate the contract with Sophia!
Through their cooperation recently, their first few products had been selling well abroad. What is this?
But it seemed like it was not his turn to speak, because Anne had snatched the agreement over and was tearing it up.
“You can forget about terminating the contract. Ronney Group gave you a chance because we think that you’re worthy. Do you think that you can terminate the contract just because you want to? Do you even have the right to bring it up? Even if the contract were to be terminated, it would be Ronney Group kicking you out instead!”
Callum was dumbstruck.
He knew that Anne was foolish, but he did not expect her foolishness to reach this extent.
Sophia flashed him a treacherous smile, seeming as if she had something up her sleeves, before saying, “It’s okay, Mr. Callum. We can produce another copy of the agreement even though this one’s destroyed. Name your price. It doesn’t matter how much it is and just give me a number. I’ll fork out the amount right now.”
With that, she tossed out a stack of post-dated checks. “Fill in the amount as you like. I’m just a lowly b*stard with nothing else to offer other than some stinking money.”
