“What? Cancel all collaborations?” Benny Assex and Madame Joanne’s facial expressions changed drastically. Their knees were going soft, and they could barely stand.
By now, their projects would have already started. In order to get a lower price, Assex Construction had ordered large bulks of materials. In fact, the capital investment they made was even greater than before, they invested nearly all of Assex Construction’s funds. If Waylon Realty cancelled all collaborations with Assex Construction, the latter wouldn’t even be able to last a month.
“Mr. Carter… P-Please don’t joke with us. We’ve already signed the agreement in black and white. How could you terminate our collaboration just like that?” Benny stuttered.
“Yes, Mr. Carter. If you do so, Waylon Realty will have to pay a huge penalty to compensate us! Are you sure about that?” Madame Joanne said threateningly.
“I’m very sure!” Charles Carter chuckled coldly.
Madame Joanne turned to look at Dorothy with a piercing gaze. “Mr. Carter, you shouldn’t mix business with pleasure. Why are you breaking the contract for a woman in such a rash manner? I’m sure it won’t be good for your reputation, Mr. Carter. Besides, if your wife found out about you messing around with Dorothy, favonovel.com might not be very pleased. Don’t you agree?” Madame Joanne said.
“What are you saying?” Charles was stunned for a moment before favonovel.com became enraged. “Madame Joanne, watch your mouth! How dare you say that Ms. Assex and I… You’re defaming me. If you weren’t Madame Joanne, I would ’ve slapped you!” He fumed.
“If there’s nothing between the two of you, why are you helping her?” Madame Joanne’s face turned pale.
“That’s because she’s my sister-in-law. Alex is my brother-in-law. D*mn it. The penalty of breaking the contract is only 200 million dollars. Waylon Realty can afford it! But if you want this money, you’d have to beat me in court first,” Charles said before bidding farewell to Alex Rockefeller and Dorothy Assex. He said they would sign a new agreement the next day and left.
If Assex Construction was to bring this case to court, they’d have to wait several months until the results came out. By then, Assex Construction would’ve closed down.
Madame Joanne sat on the ground and started crying loudly.
Benny felt immensely remorseful for his actions. However, Alex and Dorothy felt no sympathy for the two of them.
The Assex family had stormed into this villa proudly, but they now left with their heads hung low.
Claire was so engrossed in the thought of the wealth favonovel.com would be surrounded with in the future that favonovel.com had forgotten that Alex had slapped favonovel.com earlier.
Alex held Dorothy’s hand as they went upstairs. “Honey, was what Charles said true? Are we really going to sign the contract tomorrow?” Dorothy still felt as if favonovel.com was in a dream.
“That’s what Charles said. We’ll do it. Since the Assex family treated you in such a way, it’s time to teach them a memorable lesson. Otherwise, that old woman will always try to harm us in different ways.”
Dorothy sat Alex down on a chair and started gently massaging his shoulders to reward him. Alex was stunned. He had never been treated like this before.
Although Dorothy’s eyes glistened at the thought of favonovel.com future lifestyle, favonovel.com was still too kind not to feel sorry for favonovel.com family. “But if this happened, Assex Construction would go bankrupt. Within a month, they’d run out of capital and won’t be able to pay off their debts. Even the bank would forcefully reclaim their assets. Decades of the Assex family’s business would vanish in a single day. The Assex family… Would be thoroughly done for. My grandmother might even die from exasperation,” favonovel.com said.
Alex sighed softly before hugging Dorothy by favonovel.com waist. His hands slowly shifted downward. He was all too familiar with this situation.
It was similar to how favonovel.com dealt with John Rockefeller and the others. Alex would always show some mercy. Despite the world being cruel, Alex wasn’t. Besides, Dorothy shared the same bloodline as the rest of the Assex family.
“You can let them survive for a while, but the contract must be signed. Didn’t Assex Construction pre-order a lot of resources? We can buy those off at a lower price and give them a breather. After that, we’ll swallow them whole,” Alex said.
Dorothy’s eyes lit up. She immediately leaned closer to Alex and kissed favonovel.com on the lips for a long while.
“Honey, I have something to tell you. I might have to be away for awhile. My mother swore to take Rockefeller Group down within three months. We have to start preparing the operations now to make the comeback,” Alex said.
“Huh?” Dorothy didn’t quite understand what Alex was talking about.
