Chapter 7

With the contract secured, Yvonne walked out of Weakriver Real Estate as if her soul had been sucked out.

Some guy who was sneaking around in the distance saw that scene and quickly took out his phone to report to Harvey.

Harvey was very happy when he received that news. He planned to hold an internal meeting immediately, during which he would expel Yvonne from the Sue family.

"What's the matter?" Samuel walked up to Yvonne and looked at her despair. He wondered if Liam had not treated her well?

"The contract had been signed," Yvonne looked at Samuel and said in a dull tone.

Samuel smiled and said, "Since the contract has already been signed, why do you look so lifeless?"

Yvonne was not lifeless. The feeling was simply too unreal for her; kind of like a dream.

At that point, Yvonne's cell phone began ringing. After seeing the name Harvey, she said helplessly, "Harvey is a bit too excited."

"Well, he’s surely in for a disappointment this time," Samuel replied.

"This is all your credit. If it weren't for you, our family would be finished." Yvonne looked at Samuel gratefully.

"Don't let anyone know about this."

"Why?" Yvonne looked at Samuel in confusion. That incident was enough to change Samuel's status with the Sues. Why did he want to hide it?

"You’ll know next time," Samuel answered.

Yvonne nodded.

Riding on the small electric bicycle, Samuel sent Yvonne to the company before going to his usual store.

He exchanged glances with the shopkeeper and smiled. Although Samuel did not say a word, the shopkeeper knew that Samuel’s time had come.

All the relatives were present in the Sue family company’s meeting room.

"I didn’t think she’d be exposed today after she talked big yesterday. I really thought she had the ability to do that."

"What ability would Yvonne have? If we can't get the deal done, how would she be able to do it?"

"Harvey, before your grandma arrives, I’d like to remind you that you must make Yvonne pay the price. You mustn’t allow her to act dumb."

"Yes, we must take this opportunity to drive Yvonne's family out of the Sue family."

The relatives talked amongst each other but kept their mouths shut after the Grandmother Sue arrived.

The meeting room’s door opened and Yvonne walked in.

"Yvonne, you haven’t forgotten what you said yesterday, have you?" Harvey could not wait for Yvonne to sit down.

Yvonne had an indifferent look. She glanced at Harvey and asked, "You haven't forgotten what you said yesterday too, right?"

"Hahaha, of course I didn't forget. But why does it matter? What I said isn’t important at all since you weren’t able to negotiate for a collaboration," Harvey said triumphantly. The news he received from his spy was a clear enough sign that Yvonne had failed. Otherwise, why would she look so lost if she had succeeded?

"Grandma, I’ve already negotiated the collaboration and the contract has been signed. You can review it." Yvonne handed the contract to the old lady.

All of a sudden, disbelief appeared on the faces of all the Sue family relatives.

With eyes wide open, Grandmother Sue asked, "You’ve signed the contract?"
