Chapter 78: Rejecting the Opportunity

As soon as Dominic saw Cheyenne and Lucas enter, he immediately turned gloomy.

“If you have anything to say, hurry up and say it. Leave immediately after you finish,” Dominic said coldly without hiding the disdain he had for them.

Although Cheyenne had already prepared herself for this, she still felt rather uncomfortable.

She had always respected Dominic, but now, he was cold and indifferent toward her as though they were strangers.

No, they were even more distant than strangers.

Bearing with the unhappiness, she handed the letter of intent to Dominic. “Grandpa, I’m here to deliver a letter of intent on behalf of the Brilliance Corporation today. You may take a look first.”

Dominic was shocked to hear her words. Looking at the letter of intent in her hand with great enthusiasm, he was about to reach out and take it, but he suddenly suspected something. “Your family has been disowned by the Carters, so why would you be so kind as to send a letter of intent to us? Could there be some conspiracy in this?”

The gaze in his eyes was full of suspicion when he looked at Cheyenne.

Cheyenne had good intentions when she decided to personally deliver the letter of intent of cooperation to the Carters because she still had some affection for the family she grew up with. This was also the reason she told Lucas to let them off.

However, Dominic’s apprehensive attitude was like a dagger piercing through her heart.

At this moment, Scarlet, who was at the side, suddenly spoke up. “Cheyenne, stop pretending! Previously, you returned with a signed contract with the Stardust Corporation, but that resulted in greater issues and caused Grandpa to have to give up the Brilliance Corporation to someone else in order to overcome the crisis. Now that you’ve brought another contract here, who knows what trap there might be?”

Filled with jealousy, Scarlet stared at Cheyenne’s pretty face, which all women were jealous of, and continued sarcastically, “Also, you’ve got really incredible means. I heard that the Brilliance Corporation sacked all the Carters, but you’re the only one who still has a stable position there. Tsk, tsk, you’re truly impressive. Which senior executive do you have close ties with?”

Scarlet’s sarcastic tone and ambiguous words left a lot to the imagination.

Cheyenne was exasperated. She rarely saw Scarlet and had never offended her before, yet Scarlet was full of animosity toward her.

Cheyenne naturally did not know that it was because Aston Brooke was obviously attracted to her and had gawked at her fondly when she entered just now, causing Scarlet to be hostile and jealous.

Lucas sneered. “Indeed, you people like projecting your filthy thoughts onto others. How amusing!”

“You! What do you mean?!” Scarlet was so infuriated by Lucas’s hostile remark that her face became flushed.

At this moment, Bryce walked into the conference room while covered his swollen cheek.

As soon as he saw Dominic, Bryce immediately leaped over, disregarding his image. He roared, “Grandpa! You have to do something for me! Look at my face! It’s so swollen, and I’ve lost a few of my teeth too. It’s all because of these bastards Lucas Gray and Cheyenne Carter! He had the audacity to bully me at the entrance of our office! Grandpa, you can’t let him off this time!”

Bryce’s complaints were somewhat slurred and vague because he had lost a few teeth.

When Dominic saw his grandson’s face that was as swollen as a pig, he was immediately furious.

He could teach his grandson a lesson, but others had no right to hit his grandson!

In particular, Cheyenne and Lucas, who had been kicked out of the family, were even more unfit to hit his grandson!

Looking at Dominic’s enraged face, Cheyenne hurriedly explained, “It was Bryce who…”

“Shut up!” Dominic hollered. “You people are in no place to discipline my grandson! Hurry up and get out!”

When Lucas saw Dominic reprimanding Cheyenne unreasonably and mercilessly, his face turned angry too. “In that case, I hope you won’t regret your decision.”

After saying these words indifferently, Lucas turned to face Cheyenne. “Since they don’t appreciate it, forget it. Let’s go.”

Cheyenne was furious and aggrieved. But when she saw Dominic’s aged face, she couldn’t bring herself to be ruthless and do it.

“I-I’ll ask you one last time. Do you want to see this contract with the Brilliance Corporation?” Cheyenne gritted her teeth.

“No, take it away! It must be something to fool Grandpa! Who believes you?” Scarlet looked extremely annoyed.

“Hmph, are you being hypocritical to make us thank you? Dream on! Even if you kneel down and beg us, we won’t look at it!” Bryce exclaimed with disdain. “You shameless couple, hurry and get lost!”

Lucas’s eyes glinted with a murderous light, and he kicked immediately Bryce.

Bryce’s body went flying like a potato sack, and he passed out soundlessly after slamming against the wall.

“Bryce!” Dominic was shocked and rushed over to check Bryce’s condition. Only after seeing that Bryce was still breathing and had merely fainted did he feel less worried.

Dominic turned his head and glared at Lucas viciously. “Lucas Gray! You’re being overboard!”

He then stared at Cheyenne coldly. “Great, Cheyenne Carter, you brought your good-for-nothing husband here to show off, didn’t you? Letter of intent from the Brilliance Corporation? Haha, do you think I’ll be grateful to you for that and even let your family reunite with the Carters? You must be dreaming!

“If it weren’t for you, Brilliance Corporation would still belong to us. There wouldn’t have been a need for you to come here and talk to us about this damned cooperation.

“If it weren’t for the fact that you were still useful to the family, I would have kicked you out long ago! I’m telling you, I won’t let you come back to the Carters, so just give up!

“From now on, you aren’t allowed to step foot into any of the Carters’ properties again! Get lost now! Get lost!”

Dominic pointed at the door in fury while looking at Cheyenne menacingly, as though he was going to devour her.

Dominic’s words and the look in his eyes made Cheyenne feel as if a million daggers were piercing through her heart, and she immediately burst into tears.

Scarlet mocked, “Stop crying, you hypocrite. Others might think that we’ve bullied you! You’re so shameless.”

Lucas stayed silent and simply watched them coldly.

If Cheyenne hadn’t been pleading for them time and time again, the Carters would have long been eradicated from the county, much less have the chance to say those harsh things to Cheyenne. These people aren’t worthy of what Cheyenne has done for them!
