Chapter 789:

“You even told me this project could bring in huge profits for the company and that we absolutely had to move forward with it.

I even warned you back then that our materials might not be enough, but you didn’t seem bothered.

I assumed you had everything under control and had made the necessary preparations.”noveldrama

Colson’s eyes narrowed as he cut in, his voice cold.

“So, what now? You haven’t prepared the materials? Do you have any idea how much we’ll lose if we don’t get them today?”

Dane could only stare at Hector, who turned to Colson, trying to smooth things over.

“Mr. Gray, I sincerely apologize.

It seems we’re short on materials.

Could you give us a few more days to sort this out?”

“Not a chance.

Not even an hour.

Since you’re daring enough to play games, then pay the penalty as per the contract.”

The penalty was ten billion.

Even though the Johns Group was worth several hundred billion, they couldn’t pull together ten billion in cash that quickly.

It would spell bankruptcy for the Johns Group.

Dane’s gaze turned ice-cold as he stared at Hector.

“So this is what you’ve been waiting for, huh? After all these years, you’ve finally shown your true colors.”

A wave of disappointment washed over him.

Hector had done a lot for the company over the years, bringing in countless profits.

But now, looking back, maybe everything Hector had done had been leading to this moment.

Hector glanced at Dane, looking almost pitiful.

“Mr. Johns, I honestly have no clue what you’re accusing me of. The stamp on that document is clearly from our company. You can’t pretend not to recognize it. Denying it now won’t change anything. It’s all there in black and white!”

“Haha, drop the act. Isn’t this the moment you’ve been waiting for? Once the company goes under, you’ll swoop in and take it over,” Dane sneered.

Hector hadn’t expected Dane to catch on to his plan so quickly.

There was no point in pretending any longer.
