Chapter 55
The three–party cooperation between Harrington Corporation, Glory Corporation, and Stark Group was finalized. After the contract was confirmed, they would go through the details. As investors, Glory Corporation and Harrington Corporation had to confirm everything.
A small mistake in the contract might lead to a loss of millions of profits, and no one wanted their money to be wasted.
Gilda opened the project proposal and frowned slightly. “Why isn’t any of the names provided by our company included in any of the exchange projects?” she asked.
It was common sense that the three companies should share their strategies. The document clearly stated. that Stark Group and Harrington Corporation would share their strategies, but Glory Corporation was not involved.
“These projects were all carried out by Harrington Corporation and Stark Group before. Adding the name list of Glory Corporation will only slow down the progress. We will tell you when we have the results.”
The one who spoke was the female director sent by Stark Group, Emma Lawson. About forty years old, she still looked beautiful.
When Emma spoke, her smile seemed forced, possibly due to having received Botox injections.
“Oh, really?” Gilda nodded, seemingly agreeing with Emma.
However, Gilda closed the project proposal and smiled lightly, saying, “Can you explain why we can’t check the core technology of nanorobots after we’ve signed the contract, Ms. Lawson?”
Emma picked up a glass of water and took a sip. She had been prepared for this question. “These matters need to be discussed after Mr. Dowall comes back. An accidental technical disclosure will be unfavorable to Stark Group,” Emma answered.
Emma glanced at Jensen and found that he didn’t intend to speak, so she was relieved.
She didn’t worry that Jensen would be unhappy about what she did to Gilda today. Jensen and Gilda’s divorce was widely known. So Emma thought maybe Jensen was hoping that she could embarrass Gilda.
Gilda sneered and said, “Ms. Lawson, do you mean that if Mr. Dowall doesn’t come back home, the core technology will not be available for Glory Corporation? If he never comes back, we can only pay for nothing, right?”
“Ms. Lynch, we acted out of concern for security and confidentiality.” Emma then asked the heads of all departments with a smile, “Am I correct?”
The others didn’t say anything, and it was obvious that they had acquiesced in Emma’s move.
Sitting aside, Jensen looked at Gilda from the perspective of an onlooker without saying anything. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Then Gilda said calmly. Then let’s break the contract.”

Hearing this, Emma panicked. If Glory Corporation withdrew its investment because of her oppression, Timothy would not forgive her when he came back.
“Ms. Lynch, please do not joke with us. We have signed a contract, and withdrawing capital at this point would be a breach of contract, Emma said.
“It doesn’t matter, Gilda said, looking indifferent.
Hearing this. Emma put down her glass nervously and warned, “You’re going to pay a large amount of liquidated damages!”
“We have no use for this money. It would be more efficient to discard it than to continue wasting time with you.” Gilda’s eyes turned cold as she added, “And our losses can be recouped as long as we thwart your efforts in the medical development project later.”
Upon hearing this, Emma became increasingly anxious, her body drenched in cold sweat.
Stark Group needed the money of Glory Corporation and the huge medical system behind it to promote the project. The grievances caused by breaking up the contract might lead to a ban on the nanorobot project in the future.
Emma made every effort to use Cheney to attract Glory Corporation’s investment, so she couldn’t watch her efforts go in vain due to these trivial matters.
Now Emma regretted listening to Cheney. She wanted to suppress Gilda at the beginning and gain some more profits, but it turned out to be completely a joke.
“Ms. Lynch, please don’t be angry. We can discuss this matter. Let’s follow the contract, and I will arrange for people to deal with it immediately,” Emma said.
“In that case…” Gilda cast a glance at the directors, each with a distinct expression, and said, “Those who believe adding the name list to the project is troublesome, please raise your hands. They’re opting out. automatically after the meeting.”
Gilda’s words shocked them. They were just following Emma’s order. How could Gilda ask them to quit?
“It’s clearly stated in the contract that Glory Corporation has the right to appoint and dismiss the directors involved in the project. Am I wrong, Ms. Lawson?” Gilda asked.
Emma was in dilemma now, and her smile became more and more stiff. “Ms. Lynch, what should we do with the project after firing them?”
“The deputy directors can take their places instead. If you lack sufficient personnel, I may question Stark Group’s capabilities,” Gilda remarked with a faint smile. “In that case, breaking the contract becomes even more essential.”
