Chapter - 250

“Dawn, I need you to do something for me. Help me check the transaction between us and all of our partners,” Zeke said after taking a deep breath. “Let me know as soon as you notice something suspicious.”

“Are you going to terminate the partnership with them?” Dawn asked with a worried expression. “If we don’t have their support, we can’t handle the project on our own. It’s best if we talk things out and come to an agreement.”

“Don’t worry. I know what I’m doing,” Zeke said and left.

Sole Wolf looked at Dawn, feeling guilty about everything that was happening. “If I didn’t come here, things wouldn’t have gotten this messy.”

Dawn was confused and wondered if the worker she was currently staring at had some mental issues.

What does a billion-dollar contract have to do with a construction worker like yourself?

Zeke soon arrived at Lacey’s office. What he saw caused him to fly into a rage.

The office was filled with people. The seat that once belonged to Lacey was now being taken up by a playful looking young man who was biting a cigar.

The young man was not one of the partners. He was Franky, the eldest son of the Forrest Family.

Lacey had no place to sit and could only stand as she coughed violently. She couldn’t stand the smoke of the cigar.

She was almost begging the partners not to leave.

“Why are you guys suddenly doing this? I’ve been treating all of you like my family!”

“Open your eyes wide and look clearly,” a man with a huge tummy laughed. “The person sitting right there can literally drown you with money. We put up with you because Mr. Schneider was helping you, but not anymore. Mr. Schneider won’t be siding with you any longer, and neither will we!”

“You better think this through clearly.” Lacey gritted her teeth. “If you back off now, you’ll have to pay the breach of contract fee.”

“F**k off!” the fat man scolded. “Who are you to threaten us? Hand the project to Mr. Forrest now, or you’ll have to bear all the responsibility!”

In truth, the partners were simply trying to intimidate Lacey. There was no way they would actually give up on the project. They only planned to make sure Lacey would back out of the project and hand it to Franky after losing their support.

As for the partners, they would continue to work with Franky instead.

Yet, Lacey had acted out of their expectation. Not only did she not hand over the contract, she had even threatened them.

Franky put his cigar out and smiled. “Lacey, it’s better if you just give up. I’m already gracing you with my appearance here. Oh, wait, do you want me to call Mr. Schneider, who happens to my brother-in-law, just to kick you out?”

As soon as Franky mentioned Evan, Lacey knew all hope was lost.

“Fine… I’ll give you the contract…” Lacey bit her lip and sighed. “But you have to give us back all the investment we’ve put into this project.”

“Yeah, right!” Franky laughed. “Keep on dreaming! Sign this and get the f**k out of my face! Or, do you not want to leave?”

“T-this is too absurd!” Lacey cried out as her body shook. She’d already invested around seven hundred million in the project.

If she could not get the money back, she would be in danger of bankruptcy.

“So what? What can you do to me?” Franky laughed.
