The room fell into a collective stupor at the sound of his words.
Was it that easy to make favonovel.com back down?
Still, that was too unexpected. Even though everyone could understand where favonovel.com was coming from, shouldn’t favonovel.com still put up a bit of a fight?
“You…” Jean was also surprised.
Why did it feel like I was forcing him?!
Remus smiled faintly. He knew that this was only the start of the show.
Max’s brows furrowed even deeper, his face contorting into an increasingly unpleasant expression.
Did Timothy even consider the repercussions his words would have on me?
How could I possibly maintain my reputation if news spread that a business partner was threatened during my bidding event?
Timothy turned around quickly and said, “Commander Baxton, I’m sorry, I won’t participate in this bidding, I’m withdrawing!”
Max clenched his teeth and was about to reply when favonovel.com was cutoff.
“You made the right choice!”
Suddenly, Leonard, who’d remained silent for a long time, finally broke his silence.
Stepping forward with hands placed firmly behind his back, favonovel.com uttered with conviction, “Vitalis Pharmaceuticals, isn’t it? Let me enlighten you. If you dare proceed with this contract today, you will definitely not be able to leave Neptuna alive!”
Then favonovel.com continued, “You see, Miss Lotus, in favonovel.com previous endeavors, facilitated the resolution of some influential matters for Remus by utilizing favonovel.com family’s connections. The condition for favonovel.com assistance was that favonovel.com should rise to the status of Neptuna’s wealthiest individual within a month. The very medication before your eyes is the key to that achievement!”
“If you were to snatch it away, Miss Lotus would undoubtedly fail to reach favonovel.com goal. Consequently, favonovel.com would be compelled to return to Centurio and never set foot in Neptuna again! Now, contemplate this, if you were to seize this opportunity from her, can you truly expect to continue living unscathed?”
After favonovel.com finished speaking, favonovel.com glanced at Jean with a triumphant look.
The entire banquet hall erupted in commotion.
Previously, everyone thought that Miss Lotus had settled the matter easily, but they never thought that she’d also paid a huge price!
There was also an important piece of information. If Jean Lotus wasn’t able to get this contract, she’d have to leave!
Then what about Remus?
Elias’ eyes lit up with anticipation upon hearing the revelation.
Jean is leaving?
Could this be an opportunity for my daughter?
Miranda’s face flushed involuntarily as favonovel.com stole a glance at Remus. Finally, favonovel.com could unveil his true identity.
Jean clenched favonovel.com teeth in frustration. This information was meant to remain a secret, yet favonovel.com brazenly exposed it.
If word got out that I was leaving, how would people treat Remus going forward?
“So that’s how it is!” Timothy exclaimed. “Thank you, Mr. Steele, for enlightening me. Otherwise, I wouldn’t even know if I would stay alive. It’s been decided. Commander Baxton, I would like to withdraw!”
“No!” Max immediately replied with an extremely ugly expression.
If Timothy really withdrew, how could I face the public after this?
In a firm and resolute tone, favonovel.com declared, “Now that we’ve started, we shall see it through to the very end. And as for any external threats, rest assured that I will personally guarantee your safety!”
His words were accompanied by a piercing glare directed at Remus. It was clear that favonovel.com held Remus responsible for the near loss of his own reputation.
Gazing directly at Jean, favonovel.com addressed her, “Miss Lotus, with everyone gathered here today, it’s imperative that we finalize the contract. I kindly request that you provide us with your lowest offer. If Lotus Group presents a more favorable proposition than Vitalis Pharmaceuticals, I’ll naturally opt for the Lotus Group. However, if that isn’t the case, Vitalis Pharmaceuticals will undoubtedly become our chosen partner…”
Leonard and the other two laughed.
What they just said was to put everyone on the spot and make Max afraid of showing favoritism. They also made favonovel.com resent Remus even more and let everyone know that Miss Lotus was leaving.
Their strategy was yielding good results thus far.
Jean’s face flushed with heat.
With numerous eyes fixed on her, if Timothy withdrew due to safety concerns, what was the difference between that and cursing at her?
If word of it spread, people would think that Jean only knew how to play tricks in business!
She took a deep breath and said, “Okay, I’ll contact Mr. Niles right away!”
She took out favonovel.com phone and was about to dial his number.
Before favonovel.com could finish dialing, John’s voice came from the crowd. “Miss Lotus, no need to call, I’m here!”
No one had noticed that he’d arrived.
