Chapter 265: Chapter 265: Victory in Hand
"Alright, let’s get to the point." The man’s kissing skills were exceptional, and Summer Monroe hated the feeling of being out of control. She pushed him away and showed him the video.
Soren Foster, who had been with Summer for so long, somewhat understood her thoughts. He twirled a strand of her hair and whispered, "Why not deal with both of them together?"
Summer said nothing.
Soren understood again and, after pondering for a moment, said, "If you find it troublesome, Summer, you could create a misunderstanding between them and break them apart from the inside. How about that?"
Summer raised her alluring eyes. "I’ll leave it to you."
Meanwhile, Evelyn Clayton had just gathered her thoughts when she received a call about a canceled order.
"I’m sorry, the order has already gone into production. If you cancel, you’ll need to pay a penalty of twenty percent of the order value."
Evelyn’s brow furrowed slightly. Her words were polite, but her heart had already sunk.
Why cancel the order out of the blue?
It’s important to note that the penalty for breach of contract was quite substantial to ensure the smooth progression of the business.
Canceling midway meant not only would she not profit, but the other party would also suffer significant losses.
It’s a lose-lose situation.
"A penalty?" The client on the other end was stunned and hesitated for a moment.
But finally, they gritted their teeth and insisted, "Fine, we’ll pay the penalty. I’ll send someone tomorrow to discuss the penalty with Miss Clayton, but the contract must be terminated. There’s no room for negotiation on this!"
Such a firm stance deepened Evelyn Clayton’s suspicions.
"What is the reason for canceling? Our team has put immense effort into this collaboration, and you’ve seen the samples. Both the design and quality are impeccable."
"Even if you want to cancel the order, at least make the reason clear to everyone."
Evelyn Clayton wouldn’t accept an unclear cancellation of cooperation.
She couldn’t explain it to her employees either.
"We just don’t want it anymore!" The client’s impatience was tinged with guilt, "Do we need so many reasons?"
"I’m sorry, but the contract clearly stipulates that without a valid reason, you have no right to unilaterally terminate the contract."
Evelyn Clayton’s voice turned cold as she keenly caught the unnatural tone in the other party’s voice, adding a layer of threat to her stance: "I do not agree to the cancellation."
Having said that, she was about to hang up the phone.
"Wait, wait, wait!"
The client panicked and hurriedly stopped her: "We can’t not cancel this order!"
"Miss Clayton, I won’t hide it from you anymore. Have you offended The Ford Family? Summer Monroe’s people came to us today, threatening and tempting us to cancel the order. You know the power of The Ford Family, we don’t dare not to listen. Sorry! Let’s work together again if there’s a chance."
On one side was Summer Monroe, and on the other was Evelyn Clayton.
The client was caught in the middle, torn, and could only explain the situation with a helpless smile.
When two elephants fight, it’s the grass that suffers.
He just wanted to do a little business to make a living. Why was it so difficult?
Evelyn Clayton’s gaze turned somber.
Summer Monroe, again?
"Understood, I’ll return the order to you." Her tone was calm, not wanting to make things difficult for others.
But as soon as she hung up the phone, she immediately set off for The Ford Group.
...
At The Ford Group, in the lounge.
Two cups of tea sat on the table. Evelyn Clayton and Summer Monroe faced each other, with an almost palpable tension in the air.
"I didn’t expect Miss Clayton to find out so quickly."
Summer Monroe looked at Evelyn Clayton with a smile, her expression full of confident pride.
