After she returned to her office, Minerva sat down, her head still spinning.

It was most likely due to the side effects of the gastric problems the day before. She reached out her hand and massaged her temples with much force. She felt much more energized. But this time... her gastric problems seemed to flare up more severely than before, and she was in great pain even until now.

Was it because of that person?

Minerva remained seated for a while before Vera came in.

She walked over to Minerva with a pile of documents in her arms, pulling a chair, and sat down beside her.

"I have calculated. According to our contract, no matter who breaches the contract, the person has to pay thrice the penalty fee. If it's merely a piece of clothing, we may not need to compensate for that much. But Mr. Yardley has ordered everything in our company's quotation, so... I'm afraid that we need to fork out more than expected."

After a dreadful silence, Minerva asked at once, "How much do we need to pay?"

Vera glanced at her, coughing softly. "I've calculated that after paying the penalty fees, we'll probably have a few thousand left."

As soon as she finished speaking, Vera felt brokenhearted. She then held her cheek, "If we had known about it, we should have driven him out right away when he came to us. Now, we are going bankrupt." Was there only a few thousand left after the payment? Minerva's mouth curled into a smile. "Not bad. I thought it wasn't enough."

Hearing her words, Vera's eyes widened in terror. "Are you out of your mind? How could you feel alright after losing so much money? I thought..."

"Is there anything more joyous than getting rid of him?" Minerva gave a slight smile. She looked at Vera, "Alright, go and prepare the documents. Contact the lawyer and consult them on how to handle this matter."

"Okay, I'll contact the lawyer first."

As they had to pay the penalty fees, Minerva and Vera didn't check out any houses anymore.
