Chapter 33: Take Her Away

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

The other Carters at the side were staring gloatingly at Cheyenne kneeling outside, as if she was the greatest joke.

“Hah, so what if Cheyenne Carter was a successful career woman who used to be a CEO? She still has to kneel outside our door like a dog and beg us to take her in now, doesn’t she?”

“She still delusionally thought that she could negotiate with Grandpa and snatch the Brilliance Corporation away. She can dream on!”

“She and her family are outright shameless. They’re clearly outsiders, but they’re so thick-skinned!”

“Of course she’d be in trouble for offending Dominic and Bryce. She’s begging for mercy only because she’s getting kicked out now. She deserves it!”

“Well, it’s pointless. They should have been chased out long ago!”

Soon, someone went out with an umbrella and threw a few pieces of paper in front of Cheyenne. She subconsciously tried to grab them, but they were soon blown into a puddle by the wind. As the papers got wet and clumpy, the ink on them quickly faded away.

Staring at Cheyenne expressionlessly, the old butler working for the Carters said, “These are the official papers of disownment. The names of your family members and you have been removed from the Carter family records, and the Carters will announce this soon. You no longer belong to the family, and all your properties, bonuses, and rights to dividends will be deprived.”

A bolt of lightning flashed, reflecting on Cheyenne’s pale face.

Grandpa is really disowning us!

“Why? What exactly did we do wrong for you to do this to us?! Haven’t I done enough for the Carters all these years?” Cheyenne slumped onto the ground and started bawling out loud when she looked at the pieces of paper that had already been mushed up because of the rain.

“This is the decision that Mr. Carter Senior and the other Carters have reached. This gate also belongs to the Carters. If you want to kneel, stay farther away!” the butler said coldly.

As soon as he finished speaking, the butler sensed a terrifying aura land on his body, followed by a tight slap on his face.

“Who are you? How dare you speak to her that way?” Lucas appeared beside Cheyenne, and he had a murderous gaze as he glared daggers at the butler.

If not for the fact that the butler was on in his years, Lucas would have given him more than just a slap.

The butler covered his face in shock and fury. No one had ever dared to hit him on the territory of the Carters. He wanted to call security over. But when his eyes met Lucas’s murderous gaze, he was frightened to the point of choking on his words.

He was certain that if he dared to make a single sound, Lucas would kill him!

Lucas lowered his head and looked at Cheyenne, who was kneeling on the ground, her hair and clothes drenched to the extent that she looked extremely miserable.

She was his woman, and yet she was being abused like this!

Anger brewed in Lucas’s eyes as he glared at the butler before shifting his gaze to the Carter residence behind the metal gates. His icy gaze seemed to be able to penetrate through the rain and glass, casting onto the Carters behind it, including Bryce and Dominic.

“One day, you Carters will regret your decision today and pay the price for it!”

Lucas took off his jacket, wrapped it around the drenched Cheyenne, picked her up in his arms, and then disappeared into the rain.

Shortly after Lucas left, Dominic received a phone call in the room.

The person calling was extremely flustered, and his speech was incoherent. “Chairman, bad news! The Stardust Corporation sent its lawyer and legal team to the Brilliance Corporation to sue us for breach of contract. It has also issued us a lawyer’s letter that states that we have to compensate according to the amount demanded, or it will go through legal procedures to enforce compensation!”

“What?!” Dominic Carter sprung up immediately, turning pale with horror as he dropped the phone onto the carpet.

“Grandpa, what do we do?!” asked Bryce, who had heard everything clearly at the side and was now overwhelmed with anxiety.

With a glum expression, Dominic exclaimed, “Call all the directors to come to the office immediately!”

Soon, a convoy of cars quickly drove out of the gates of the Carter residence and hurried to the Brilliance Corporation.

Dominic and the others hurried to the office too. As soon as they entered, they saw a few people waiting in the reception room on the first floor.

“Hello. It’s been hard on all of you to come here despite the heavy rain.” Dominic hurriedly reached his hand out.

However, the people of Stardust Corporation didn’t intend to be friendly. Instead, they simply took out the legal letter stamped with a bright red seal and handed it to Dominic formally in a businesslike manner.

“You must be clear about the situation now, so I shall cut straight to the chase. Please tell the Brilliance Corporation to prepare the compensation of seventy-seven million dollars within three days and credit it to our designated account.”

Dominic shuddered. He wouldn’t be able to raise seventy-seven million dollars even if he sold the entire Brilliance Corporation!

Bryce found it unacceptable too. “We just signed the contract two days ago. We haven’t even started doing anything yet, so how can there be a breach of contract? You people are bullying us on purpose!”

“Shut up!” Dominic immediately hollered to stop Bryce from continuing. They couldn’t offend the Stardust Corporation at this juncture!

Bryce fell silent angrily with an indignant look in his eyes.

“Hmph, do you think we’re bullying you? The reason for the breach of contract is stated clearly in the lawyer’s letter and the contract. Can’t you see for yourself? If you’re illiterate or too lazy to look at it, let our lawyer, Mr. Smith, read it to you and see if we’re bullying you or not.”

Mr. Smith held up the gold-rimmed glasses on his face and pulled out another legal letter and a copy of the contract from his briefcase. He then said politely but distantly to Dominic, “Please listen carefully. Section 36 of this contract stipulates that Party A, the Stardust Corporation, and Party B, the Brilliance Corporation, have reached a consensus to cooperate. During the contract period, Party B must designate Cheyenne Carter as the sole person in charge of the cooperation. If Party B is found to be in breach of cooperation, the contract will immediately become void, and Party B must compensate Party A for the breach of contract with the agreed amount of seventy-seven million dollars.”

Mr. Smith put away the contract and looked at the two of them, who were pale. “Have you heard clearly? Do you need me to repeat?”

Bryce still couldn’t believe it, and he repeatedly instructed someone to retrieve the contract kept in the Brilliance Corporation’s office. Then he turned to the last page and realized that there was indeed such a clause in the contract, which Dominic Carter had signed and sealed.

He confirmed that there was no error, and it was indeed stated so in the contract! The Carters were really in breach of contract!

Bryce fell onto the ground immediately.

Dominic’s knees grew weak. His face turned pale, and he immediately looked like he had aged a lot.

Who would have thought that there would be a clause in the contract that designated Cheyenne Carter as the sole person in charge of the cooperation?!
