Chapter 21 Contract

Securing the deal with Ydris Group would have doubled Nelson Group’s scale and profits. Not only that, but with Ydris Group’s support, they had already lined up a series of follow–up partnerships and suppliers.

Now, with the deal falling through, all their previous efforts had been for nothing. It was like being handed a treasure trove, only to have it snatched away again. To make matters worse, the company’s stock price had been affected, along with a wave of negative press. It was a blow they could hardly withstand.

Jonah couldn’t shake the feeling of disbelief. The sudden collapse of the Ydris deal was a complete shock. Rex had been so calm and collected during the negotiations, leading him to believe that a mutually agreeable solution was within reach.

So why had things changed overnight?

Milo stopped pacing abruptly, a thought striking him. “Wait a minute… could Charmaine be behind this? What if that Maybach we saw belonged to Rex?”

“That’s impossible,” Leah blurted out instinctively.

Everyone turned to look at her. Realizing how suspicious she sounded, Leah quickly softened her tone and explained, “I just don’t believe Chara would do something to sabotage Nelson Group like that.”

Milo scoffed, clearly unconvinced. “That’s not something we can be sure of.”

“It’s not Charmaine. She doesn’t have the connections or the ability,” Jonah said firmly. “Besides, Rex is famously devoted to his childhood sweetheart. Everyone in the industry knows how much they love each other.”

“Then what’s Rex’s problem?” Milo grumbled.

While the Nelson family struggled to make sense of the situation, Leah’s phone rang. After listening for a moment, her face lit up with surprise and excitement. “Ydris Group? The day after tomorrow? Alright, thank you so much.”
