John’s smirk widened, his smile carrying an ambiguous meaning. “The contract has been signed, and there’s no room for changes. Naturally, the price cannot be altered. Miss Lotus, there’s no need to waste your breath with me!”
The room fell into shock. No one expected favonovel.com to speak to Jean in such a disrespectful manner.
“Hahaha!” Leonard and the other two burst into laughter.
The reason they’d spoken to Timothy earlier was to inform favonovel.com of the difficulties and give hope to Jean, only to have John step in and leave favonovel.com in despair.
Jean’s face contorted with anger, but favonovel.com forced herself to speak through gritted teeth. “We’re business partners, and the contract clearly states that the price can be negotiated based on supply and demand!”
“Indeed,” John replied, puffing out his chest. “But I have no desire to negotiate with you now, Miss Lotus. However, if you insist on negotiating, there is a way.”
After a slight pause, favonovel.com continued, “Have Remus kneel in front of me and Leonard, then I will consider your proposal.”
Leonard and the other two sneered as they watched.
All eyes were fixed on them, and the tension in the room was palpable. The situation at hand was clear, if Remus refused to kneel, they would lose the contract. Yet, if favonovel.com succumbed to such a humiliating act, it would be a disgraceful spectacle!
What would Jean choose?
Anger burned within her. She’d anticipated problems with the contract, but she’d never expected John to exploit a vague clause as a threat!
She couldn’t allow Remus to kneel under any circumstances. However, if favonovel.com didn’t kneel, they would lose the contract.
What would happen in a month’s time?
Ben sneered with contempt, “Remus, at this crucial moment, I fail to comprehend why you’re still putting on a facade. Have you no consideration for Miss Lotus? Is favonovel.com not important to you? Hurry and kneel. This is your opportunity to make a favorable impression!”
Skylar joined in with a cold laugh, saying, “You’re nothing but a worthless nobody. If I were in your shoes, I would kneel and beg if necessary just to secure the contract. You won’t have to worry about Miss Lotus anymore, and you can bask in favonovel.com wealth!”
Leonard narrowed his eyes, relishing the control favonovel.com had over the situation.
First, favonovel.com would make Remus kneel, and once that was done, John would lower the price. Jean would mistakenly believe she’d secured the contract, and then they would unveil the medication, finalizing the deal!
“Kneel!” John roared as favonovel.com pointed.
Max also directed his gaze toward Remus. Even though he’d saved Remus in the past, the latter should understand the gravity of the situation.
Why is favonovel.com hesitating now?
Did favonovel.com want Jean to return to the confines of the family’s arranged marriage and destroy favonovel.com life?
Truly shameless!
Remus maintained his composure, his tone casual and indifferent. “What’s with the domineering tone? Whose dog has broken free from its leash, allowing all of you to run freely?”
“Well… A true man has knees of gold. Kneeling is out of the question. Not only will I not kneel today, but I will also secure the contract. If any of you have a problem with that, come at me with everything you have.”
As soon as these words were spoken, before anyone could react there’s a thud.
Bang!
Timothy’s legs went weak, favonovel.com was instantly terrified.
What did Remus mean by saying favonovel.com wouldn’t kneel but would still secure the contract?
It meant Remus wanted to kill me!
Timothy exclaimed in panic, “I-I was wrong! I won’t compete anymore. Commander Baxton, I beg you, spare my life!”
Who wouldn’t be afraid of an assassin who was backed by Lotus family?!
Even though Jean wouldn’t secure the contract and would be leaving in a month, favonovel.com needed to contemplate how favonovel.com would make it through the night.
“You!” Max’s anger surged, reaching its peak.
He yelled, “I guarantee your safety, what are you afraid of? Even if you don’t want it, I must give it to you!”
Timothy swiftly retorted, “If you give it to me, I can still halt production. Commander Baxton, you mustn’t joke about the lives of our soldiers!”
He didn’t believe that the army from a tiny province would be able to defeat the Lotus family.
“You!” Max was on the verge of exploding.
Just when everyone thought the contract was surely Jean’s.
“Worthless!” Leonard suddenly spoke up, taking a step forward.
He said, “Since Vitalis Pharmaceutical dares not to compete, then I will!”
