Semua Bab Goodbye, Saintess.: Bab 211 - Bab 220

"I will draft a new contract immediately and choose another company you find suitable," Jeanine said.I nodded lightly. "Okay."After receiving my approval, Jeanine immediately pulled out her phone and got down to business.At that moment, the McKays and Victor stared at us as if we were lunatics."These two are insane! Get security to throw them out before they infect us.""Which mental hospital did they escape from?""Call the police. People like these are disgusting. I need to get a medical check-up!"Unlike Victor and the McKays, Lawrence’s face changed completely when he heard the collaboration might be canceled. Blanc Inc. owed its current success to his leadership, and he was no fool. When he arrived at the McKays' residence, he had already figured out the situation.He knew Sebastian had a conflict with his son. The reason he hadn’t spoken immediately was that he didn’t want his son to suffer a loss, nor did he want to jeopardize the collaboration with Sebastian.At th

Even if it meant sacrificing profits, Lawrence had no choice but to align with Sleeping Giant."I understand, Mr. Grimwald. I would never put you in a difficult position! When the project started, profits were to be split 50-50, but now… let's make it 60-40. You take 60, I take 40!"I nodded slightly and asked casually, "Jeanine, what are the other companies offering?"Jeanine caught on immediately and smiled. "The lowest so far is 70-30."Before I could respond, Lawrence forced himself to react, his face contorting in pain. "Forget 70-30, Mr. Grimwald! 80-20! Will 80-20 work?"80-20—that cut Blanc Inc.'s expected profits by more than half.I nodded in satisfaction, gripping Lawrence's hand and smiling. "It seems you're very sincere, Mr. Blanc. I look forward to working with you. It's fine to earn a little less—at least it will keep certain people from growing arrogant and looking down on others."I glanced at Victor, who was lying on the floor, covered in footprints, and trembl

As soon as the words were spoken, the McKays grew excited. They had wealth, but beside the giant Baron Inc. of Astergrad, they were nothing more than ordinary people. If they could climb aboard Baron Inc.'s great ship, the McKays might one day shake Astergrad itself—perhaps even surpass Blanc Inc."Dad, you really are decisive, with such sharp vision! I'll call Victor right away." Jack laughed heartily, pulled out his phone, and dialed Victor's number.At first, Victor had refused to give him his contact information. Only after Jack swore—patting his chest—that he would deliver Claire to him did Victor finally yield and share his number.-Lawrence had just dropped Victor at the hospital and was preparing to leave.Before he went, he scolded his son bitterly, his voice heavy with disappointment, "You unfilial fool, can't you use your brain for once when you stir up trouble? Sebastian is the kind of man you can't afford to provoke. Who gave you the courage to steal his woman?"V

Jeanine climbed to the second floor with a puzzled look. "Mr. Grimwald, why would you prepare such lavish gifts for the McKays when they're so ungrateful?""Because I'm not honoring them," I replied calmly, then paused as another thought struck me. "By the way, that diamond three-stone ring came from Lawrence. What about our own gift?""Err…" Jeanine hesitated, embarrassment flickering across her face. "Mr. Grimwald, most of the money in our accounts is tied up as project reserves, so there isn't much left. Since you wanted something valuable and I didn't know what standard to follow, I had no choice but to call Mr. Goldman. He's already preparing something and should arrive any moment. As for what it is, I honestly don't know."My eyes widened. "Baron is handling it? That's troublesome. How much is this going to cost me? I'll have to repay him through projects."I knew Baron too well—wasteful, showy, obsessed with grandeur. For him to handle the gift, especially after I'd insisted

After all, it was Sabrina's birthday. Whether she took offense or not was her choice, but I needed to make my position clear.She smiled warmly. "You're a good kid, Sebastian. Just like Claire. I can see that. And I owe you an apology. I didn't raise my son well, and Claire and her mother paid the price. I honestly didn't know Claire already had a boyfriend. If I had, I never would have introduced Victor to her."Sabrina called Claire over and clasped her hand. "That boy… his heart isn't right, but his schemes run deep. He even managed to fool me all morning. If you hadn't been here today, I'd have been tricked as well. I'm getting old, far too old."Her words ended in a sigh, but to me they were eye-opening. I found myself respecting her even more.I had spent ten years as a firefighter and met plenty of elders who demanded respect simply because of age. Yet never had I encountered anyone of her years with such clarity, fairness, and generosity of spirit. To carry that kind of gra
