“Mr. Hampton, come in and look at this at once! The contract that will cause serious harm to the interests of the company is being signed over here just like I told you!”
Jonathan Lang’s voice rang out from the entrance.
As soon as he finished speaking, a large group of people barged into the meeting room.
Everyone immediately looked at Jasper, who was suspected of colluding with members of the company in order to undermine them.
Conversely, nobody paid attention to Sylphie, who stood with her back facing the door.
Jasper did not expect this sudden incident at all.
He raised his eyes. He instantly understood that Jonathan was behind everything once he met his vicious, but joyous gaze.
Meeting Jasper’s gaze, Jonathan spoke up with a cheerful expression etched across his face. “Jasper Laine, how dare you lie to me and tell me that you don’t know Ms. Sylphie? If you don’t know her, why would she stand up for you?” He questioned.
“I’ll make you pay for lying to me!
“Don’t assume that you can disregard me just because you have Ms. Sylphie on your side. Today, I’ll show know that one sentence from me can bring your wonderful deal crashing down!
“Why are you so concerned about the relationship between Sylphie Lang and me? I have to wonder, what’s the relationship between the two of you?” Jasper asked calmly.
Jonathan was taken aback by Jasper’s question. He soon realized that everyone else from the company was also attentively waiting his reply.
Right then, a thought surged into his heart and pervaded his mind.
If he told everyone that he was Ms. Sylphie’s boyfriend, given her proud and haughty personality, it was likely that Ms. Sylphie would not refute him or clarify the truth behind the matter.
It was even possible that the public clamor would confound things such that even Ms. Sylphie would gradually loosen up over time.
This thought spread through his mind like parasitic vines. Excitement bloomed within him at once.
“Hmph, my relationship with Sylphie is beyond your imagination. It’s just that we’ve never gone public about it!” Jonathan said loudly.
After he spoke, everyone stared at him in shock. Minister Hampton, who had been acting all high and mighty just a moment ago, looked at him in disbelief as well.
Initially, Jonathan Lang was simply Emerson Lang’s nephew. Although Emerson was the group president, at the end of the day, he was still just a high-ranking employee. Having said that, things would take an interesting turn if Jonathan and Ms. Sylphie turned out to be dating.
Could Jonathan Lang become the future son-in-law of Sentel Corporation?
The shock and reverence in everyone’s gazes caused an intense sense of pride to wash over Jonathan.
Right then, Jonathan felt like he had really become the son-in-law of Sentel Corporation. He pointed a finger at Jasper and spoke arrogantly, “He’s the one who has colluded with executive members of the company. He’s trying to buy the patent at a low price. Seize him right now!”
“Is this how Sentel Corporation treats its clients?” Jasper shouted out suddenly. He faced the large group of people led by Mr. Hampton without a trace of fear.
“I have reached an agreement with Mr. Emerson, and I have signed a contract of intent as well. I have also paid a deposit of 10 million US dollars to Sentel Corporation.
“It’s now time for us to sign the formal agreement, but you’re spouting ridiculous nonsense about internal and external collusion. Is Sentel Corporation not afraid that they will become a laughing stock after this news gets out?”
Mr. Hampton furrowed his brows as soon as Jasper finished speaking.
That was because Jasper’s argument had hit the nail right on the head.
For a multinational company like Sentel Corporation, they did not really care if they earned 10 million or 100 million US dollars.
They only truly cared about the issue of creditability.
