Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 1307

After Sophie delivered her response, the room erupted into chaos.

"Sophie! Are you seriously saying you don't want to work with us anymore?"

"Think this through! Without our partnership, even owning the biggest commercial street in Devonport won't save S Corporation!"

"Exactly! If S Corporation goes under, don't say we didn't warn you!"

The noise around her was deafening, but Sophie remained unfazed, replying with a calm demeanor, "Do what you want."

Turning to Tricia beside her, she instructed, "Collect the breach of contract fees from these gentlemen, then let them go."

"Got it."

"And if anyone hasn't paid up, don't let them leave the room."

"...Understood, Ms. Sophie."

Tricia was taken aback by Sophie's firmness. She had decisively cut ties with these partners. Given that these partners had been with S Corporation from the start, their departure could be catastrophic.

"Sophie! Are you sure about this? If you really won't work with us, we're walking out!"

"Ms. Sophie, surely there's room for negotiation..."

Two of them started to waver. Sophie knew these crafty folks were here to strong-arm her. She had no intention of caving in to any of their demands.

Sophie broke the silence, "Think carefully, folks. I, Sophie, am all about integrity. Since you've breached our agreement today, S Corporation will not collaborate with you again."

Watching their reactions, she continued, "Moreover, I assure you, the Costello, Tredgold, Dennis, and Aldridge families won't either."

This revelation sent shockwaves through the crowd. Losing ties with Devonport's four major families would leave them high and dry.

"Ms. Sophie, let's talk this through... I realize my attitude was off before... I'll change! Can't I change?!"

Grayson approached, gently guiding Sophie back to her seat. Mr. Zhou followed suit, "Ms. Sophie, we were rash earlier. Everything’s negotiable. No need to be so final... We can still work together."

Watching them backtrack so swiftly, Sophie chuckled, "Oh, so you've decided to stick around after all, gentlemen?"
