Chapter 34: Chapter 34

The head of the group, Mr. Harris, looked at the two of them with disdain.

Over the past two days, the Brilliance Corporation had been troubled over the matter of being sued by the Stardust Corporation. Cheyenne Carter had been staying outside the Stardust Corporation’s office every day in a bid to see Flynn Davis. On the other hand, none of the men of the Carter family showed up.

Since it was stated in the contract that Cheyenne was to be the person in charge, the Carters had to comply and make her the person in charge. However, Harris knew that the Carters immediately appointed Bryce as the general manager of the Brilliance Corporation on the same morning that they signed the contract. On the other hand, Cheyenne left with red and swollen eyes.

He felt that the Carters had no one to blame but themselves for the breach of contract because they had brought it upon themselves.

“Since we have delivered the legal letter, it’s time for us to leave now.”

Harris sorted out the documents and was about to leave when Dominic suddenly grabbed his arm.

“Wait, Mr. Harris! I think this is all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding! I know Mr. Davis must have taken a liking to Cheyenne Carter. It’s alright. I’ll send her over to Mr. Davis immediately. It doesn’t matter what status she’s given. We don’t care about superficial statuses. As long as Mr. Davis is willing to withdraw this legal letter on account of our sincerity and continue to cooperate with the Carters…”

“F***!” Harris immediately cursed, shocked by his shamelessness.

Would an ordinary person give away his granddaughter like she was cargo without any qualms? How could a grandfather say such a thing?

Besides, Cheyenne Carter was not someone whom ordinary people could covet because she was the wife of a big shot. If Mr. Davis heard Dominic’s words, he would definitely be frightened.

Harris interrupted Dominic’s delusion and said sternly, “You’d better not spout nonsense or do anything funny in private. Otherwise, neither I nor Mr. Davis can save you.”

What does this mean? Even Mr. Davis can’t save us… Is there someone more powerful than Mr. Davis? Could it be that someone more authoritative has taken a liking to Cheyenne?

With a trace of contempt in his eyes, Harris looked at Dominic, who seemed to be lost in thought.

Harris coughed and said, “Of course, as far as I know, the Brilliance Corporation may not be able to afford such a high amount of compensation, so I shall offer you a solution out of goodwill. It’s up to you to consider and decide.”

“Mr. Harris, please tell us!” Dominic hurriedly said.

Harris cut straight to the chase. “You can use the Brilliance Corporation as a form of compensation and top up another three million dollars.”

“What? We have to hand over the Brilliance Corporation and an additional three million dollars?” Bryce instantly sprung up furiously.

“Shut up!” Dominic stopped Bryce.

Harris ignored him and said with a smile, “Alternatively, you may choose to pay the compensation of seventy-seven million dollars.”

Bryce and Dominic Carter looked rather agitated.

Under the Carters’ management, the development of the Brilliance Corporation had been substandard and would perhaps have been worse if Cheyenne hadn’t closed some deals every now and then. The Brilliance Corporation was currently valued at less than fifteen million dollars.

Compared to the compensation of seventy-seven million dollars, handing over the Brilliance Corporation and another three million to the Stardust Corporation was definitely much more acceptable.

However, the frustration… made Bryce and Dominic feel like vomiting blood.

They were in high spirits after gleefully signing the contract, but they ended up with no profits and even had to lose their company and three million dollars. How could they not be upset?

However, none of them expected Cheyenne to be the designated person-in-charge as required by the contract.

This made Dominic get the wrong idea.

“Um… Mr. Harris, if we call Cheyenne to come back and appoint her as the person in charge, will we no longer be in breach of contract?” Dominic asked.

When Bryce heard those words, his expression changed. Does Grandpa plan to hand over the Brilliance Corporation to Cheyenne? How can he do that?

However, after he thought about it, he realized that compared to losing the entire Brilliance Corporation, letting Cheyenne take over the company for the time being was still acceptable. We’ll let her manage it for the time being and then take it back from her in the future!

However, to everyone’s surprise, Harris sneered. “Mr. Carter, you must be joking. You have already breached the contract. It’d be useless even if you let Miss Cheyenne Carter come back to be in charge. For example, if you’ve stabbed someone with a knife, do you think pulling the knife out is going to help?”

Dominic was immediately speechless.

He wanted to explain that the two matters were completely different because the Carters’ action did not harm the Stardust Corporation in any way.

If Mr. Davis and the figure of greater authority insisted that Cheyenne Carter be the person in charge, he could just comply!

However, Harris didn’t even bother to give Dominic another chance to speak and said directly, “Of course, I’m just relaying our general manager’s kind suggestion to you. Forget it if you’re not willing to accept. After all, the Brilliance Corporation’s management has always been mediocre. The Stardust Corporation is not bent on wanting it.”

When Harris looked like he was about to leave, Dominic hurriedly stopped him. “As long as we give you the Brilliance Corporation and three million dollars, the compensation will be considered paid. Is that so?”

“Yes, Mr. Carter. If you’re still worried, we can issue a written agreement to state it in detail.” Harris pointed at the lawyer next to him.

Dominic gritted his teeth and agreed. “Okay, we agree!”

Soon, both parties signed all the agreements and transfer procedures in the presence of lawyers and a notary.

The Brilliance Corporation officially separated from the Carters.

Bryce felt the pain tremendously. Although they had initially snatched the Brilliance Corporation away from Cheyenne, they had long considered it as their own. Moreover, the large sum of three million dollars was a dent in their bank account.

Dominic felt the same too. But he nonetheless forced himself to smile as he thanked the people of the Stardust Corporation and walked them out.

Well, it couldn’t be helped since the Stardust Corporation was backed by the powerful Hutton family. Although the Carters felt like they had been cheated, they dared not voice their displeasure.

Besides, it was their fault for failing to read the contract clearly!

Ah, who else can we blame?

Gritting his teeth, Bryce exclaimed, “It’s all Cheyenne Carter’s fault! Grandpa, let’s chase them out immediately! I can’t wait any longer!”
