Richard snapped in, “I’ve mentioned to you before that the lousy company of yours contributes nothing in the bidding. So, it’s only natural to fail. Come, go back with me. Stop listening to that rascal’s nonsense. He would only put you to shame.”
The two of them were about to leave. It was only then Emma said softly, “Grandpa, Harvard, I’ve signed the contract.”
“Okay, I knew it.”
“Huh..?!”
“What?!”
Originally, Richard had not been able to react to favonovel.com words. After taking two steps out, favonovel.com turned his head around and stared at Emma. He confirmed with favonovel.com once again, “Say it clearly, what contract is that?”
Emma handed over the contract to him, and said, “I’ve signed the bidding contract for the construction project.”
A loud bang rang in Richard’s head like a thunderstorm. Never in his wildest dream would favonovel.com expect Emma had truly done it.
“That’s impossible!”
Harvard was also caught by surprise, and said, “Emma, don’t try to lie your way out of it!”
“The contract is here. You could see for yourself.”
Richard immediately grabbed the contract. He flipped the pages and read them. Indeed. It was the contract for the construction project. The contract had even been sealed under the Urban Construction Bureau so there was no doubt about it.
Harvard reminded him, “Grandpa, did you see clearly? Could the contract be forged?”
Thomas poofed happily and said, “Emma went in empty-handed. She came out in thirty seconds. How on earth could favonovel.com fake a contract within such a short period of time?”
Richard studied the contract seriously, and said, “It’s not a forgery. It’s a real contract…”
He raised his head and looked at Emma, favonovel.com said, “Be frank to me, how did you manage to get this? Why would Cillian blow Harvard away as soon as favonovel.com heard about the Hill family, yet favonovel.com would sign a contract with you?”
Emma shook favonovel.com head, and said, “I don’t know.”
She was telling the truth. However, Richard thought otherwise. He was so stubborn that favonovel.com actually thought Emma was deliberately holding back, and not wanting to reveal everything to him.
Regardless, all this no longer mattered to him. Most importantly, they had signed the contract.
Richard laughed out loud, and said, “That’s great. It’s truly awesome! With this contract, we could turn the situation in the Hill family around. We may even be able to rank as one of the prestigious great families!”
Immediately after, Thomas poured cold water on him, and said, “Old man, are you mistaken? This contract was tendered under Emma’s subordinate company, and it doesn’t seem to have anything to do with the Hill family nor the parent company.”
At that instant, Richard was petrified. Indeed. That was how it was. This was because Richard had never believed that Emma could sign the contract. More so, favonovel.com was afraid that favonovel.com would put the Hill family to shame. Therefore, favonovel.com kept telling Emma not to solicit the bidding under the Hill family.
Emma’s own subordinate company would solely bear all the consequences. The result is out now. Emma had actually signed the contract for the construction project. Yet, all this had nothing to do with him.
He felt a hard slap on his face. Richard felt his heart was bleeding. A member of the Hill family had obviously signed such a lucrative contract, yet, favonovel.com could not benefit from it. The feeling was the same as not being able to savor a table full of sumptuous food because favonovel.com could not move his fork and spoon.
It truly felt unpleasant.
Richard was so anxious that his face turned red. He almost vomited blood.
Thomas took the contract back, and said nonchalantly, “Old man, did you see it? Emma achieved what Harvard has failed to achieve. Likewise, a woman could achieve what a man fails to achieve. Are you satisfied with the end result?”
Richard could not find any words to refute him. All sorts of emotions including depression, anger, sadness and impatience swelled in his heart. There was never a moment as hard for favonovel.com as now.
