If new about this got out, Sentel Corporation’s reputation would be tainted.
A major incident like this would cause the executives to be outraged.
“That’s bullsh*t!” Jonathan yelled out in anger once he realized that Jasper was about to make his way out of the trap that he had tried so hard to set up.
“The patent for the MP3 is worth at least 50 million US dollars. You’re buying it at a price of 20 million US dollars. What is this if it isn’t a collusion between internal staff and an outsider?”
Jasper glanced at Jonathan and replied in a calm and collected voice. “I discussed this deal with your uncle, Mr. Emerson Lang. Do you mean to say that your uncle is the person that is colluding with me?”
Jonathan’s expression changed. Although he wanted to put an end to Jasper Laine, that did not mean that he dared to involve his uncle in the matter.
“Of course, my uncle wouldn’t collude with a figure of low importance like you. You must have deceived him with your sly words!” Jonathan yelled. He glared at Jasper with a sneer spread across his face.
“Furthermore, you can’t change the fact that you bought a patent that is worth 50 million US dollars at the price of 20 million US dollars regardless of the excuse you try to draft up. Sentel Corporation would never do business at a loss.”
Jonathan looked at Jasper proudly. “If you want to try to win a bargain, you’ll have to wait till your next life. With me around, don’t even think of taking advantage of us. People like you are always like this. You’re filthy poor, undeveloped, and completely rotten,” he shouted.
“You must apologize for insulting us,” Jasper said in an even tone.
Jonathan scoffed. Just as he was about to say something back, Jasper continued speaking, “Since you guys intend to back out on this contract, there’s nothing more I will say. I can give up on it, but you guys will have to pay me 20 million US dollars in compensation as per the conditions of the contract of intent that we’ve previously signed.
“If you refuse, I wouldn’t mind raising an international lawsuit against you.”
There was a vexed expression on Mr. Hampton’s face. First off, the group president was involved in this incident. If things went south, the company would face a huge loss.
He was simply a small department head that was in charge of overlooking issues regarding the company’s integrity. He did not dare to get involved in major issues that involved the group president and the company’s reputation.
Meanwhile, Jonathan gritted his teeth without saying a single word. He could not care about anything else right now. The only thing he knew was that he just had to destroy Jasper Laine’s deal.
Although he did not personally benefit much from this, he just wanted to see Jasper suffer.
Such was the mentality of a villain like him.
At that moment, Sylphie, whom nobody had noticed, put down the folder. She turned around to speak.
“I agreed to sign the contract.”
Sylphie Lang’s voice instantly attracted everyone’s attention.
Mr. Hampton and Jonathan widened their eyes and found themselves at a loss of words when they saw Sylphie. It was as if they had just seen a ghost.
Nobody expected the princess of Sentel Corporation to appear here.
Jonathan’s heart lurched instantly. His instincts told him that something bad was coming his way.
As expected, Sylphie’s gaze landed on him immediately.
Her gaze was as icy as a glacier. It made Jonathan feel like he was in a cavern made of ice.
“Naturally, I don’t have any official duties in the company. However, I will report this incident to my father. Having said that, I reckon I still have a say in a deal worth 20 million US dollars, right?”
As soon as she finished speaking, Mr. Hampton immediately nodded and backed down. “Why are you here, Ms. Sylphie? I think this is all just a misunderstanding. It’s just a misunderstanding,” he said.
Sylphie did not even spare a glance at Mr. Hampton, who was sweating profusely. Instead, she turned around to look at Jasper as a radiant smile formed across her lips. “There won’t be a need to file for a lawsuit if we just sign the contract now, right?” She asked.
By then, Jasper had managed to get a grasp of the situation. The beautiful woman before him seemed to have a terrifying identity. There was no way she was just a simple office clerked charged with the signing of contracts.
