Daisy smiled. “Well, if that's the case, I shall not bother you anymore. Go on and ask for the penalty fee.”

All the suppliers turned their attention to Lacey.

“Good morning, Ms. Hinton.”

Lacey bobbed her head and hummed in acknowledgment.

Before she could say anything, all the suppliers started voicing their concerns.

“Ms. Hinton, I believe you know why we're here. Please don't put us in a difficult spot.”

“Yeah, Ms. Hinton. It seems that Linton Group is going downhill now. If you're going to terminate the agreement with us, please pay the penalty.”

“We're all small enterprises. Please have pity on us and pay up as soon as possible. We need the money to keep our companies in operation.”

“Otherwise, we'll suffer the same fate as Linton Group.”

Lacey, who usually had a good temper, could no longer suppress her anger.

She shot daggers at all the suppliers. “I've always treated you well, and you know that. I didn't expect you to turn your back against me. How could you side with the enemy and rub salt into my wound at this critical stage? Are you not afraid of karma? Do you not know what retribution means?”

All the suppliers remained unfazed by her threat.

“It seems that you don't intend to pay the penalty, huh?”

“If that's the case, I'm sorry, Ms. Hinton. We'll have no choice but to take legal actions against you.”

Some of them even took out their phone and were ready to lodge a police report.

Lacey gritted her teeth so hard that her gum was about to bleed.

Of all the suppliers, only a pair of twins were overwhelmed with guilt.

They stood beside her and pressed their voice. “We know you've been kind to us, and what we're doing to you is indeed ungrateful. We didn't want to do this. In fact, we wanted to lend you a hand, but...”

They cast a fearful glance at Daisy from Eminent Group.

It was clear that Daisy was the mastermind who had coerced them into doing this.

Lacey looked at the twin sisters, nodded, and whispered, “I understand.”
