Chapter 125

Though her tone was gentle, the message was ruthless.

For the first time, Linda felt her throat tighten.

Sarah wasn’t someone to be fooled.

On the surface, Linda remained unbothered, but internally, her mind raced. She had underestimated her opponent. If she responded carelessly now, she would only expose her weakness further.

Leo, who had been watching from a distance, was astonished. He had been prepared to intervene, worried that Sarah would be pushed around by Linda again. But instead, in just a few sentences, Sarah had left Linda speechless.

The meeting eventually concluded, and Sarah and Leo escorted Linda and Cody out of the building.

Once they were alone, Leo turned to Sarah. “Was there actually a problem with their proposal?”

Sarah nodded. “Yes. I didn’t raise an issue just to make things difficult for Linda–there were actual flaws

in the contract.”

Leo frowned. “But the details were well written.”

“They were,” Sarah agreed. “I suspect Arnold had reviewed it for her. Technically, there weren’t outright mistakes. But there were missing points that, in the long run, would have worked against us.”

She had spotted it right away. It was subtle–so subtle that a less experienced negotiator might have missed it entirely. But the gaps were there, and Sarah wasn’t about to overlook them.

Later that afternoon, Clark visited the studio.

Leo, however, didn’t see him. Clark didn’t stay long–when he realized he wouldn’t be meeting anyone important, he left without a word.

Shortly after Clark’s departure, another guest arrived.

Cole.

Leo and Sarah met him together, reviewing the revised proposal he brought. As they skimmed through the document, they exchanged glances. Without speaking, they understood each other’s thoughts.

Sarah extended her hand first. “Cole, good working together.”
