Chapter 1345 An Unexpected Twist

Finley inwardly cursed Eugene for posing a question he already knew the answer to. Hasn't he come across the viral interview video featuring Nathan?

However, his frustration was carefully hidden beneath a composed facade.

After two rounds of confrontation, Finley did not intend to harbor any further intentions of opposing Eugene.

To him, Eugene's behavior was nothing short of unreasonable.

As such, he shifted his gaze to Ace and urged, "Ace, you should be well aware of this. Speak up."

Ace thought Eugene had finally let him off the hook, yet here he was being dragged back into the conversation again.

He couldn't reveal the truth either—it would be odd if he did. After all, Eugene wouldn't spare him if he spoke up.

That being said, remaining silent under Eugene's penetrating gaze was not an option. After some hesitation, he muttered, "This is the contract." As he spoke, he handed the document signed by both families to Eugene.

Eugene swiftly skimmed through the contract, which primarily outlined the terms of the collaboration. However, his attention was immediately drawn to the final small line at the bottom, marked with a crucial note. 'To establish long-term strategic cooperation through marriage, any violation of the contract will result in double compensation for breach of contract and all ensuing financial losses!'

Having absorbed the contents, Eugene threw the contract onto the table and turned his gaze toward the family of three seated across from him, including Ace. "How does this contract relate to Nathan?" he questioned.

Finley furrowed his brows and pointed to the concluding section of the contract, explaining, "It clearly states here that the basis of the collaboration is marriage. However, Nathan's viral interview not only terminated the collaboration between our families but also subjected my daughter to public criticism. As he seems to revel in the limelight, I demand that Nathan publicly apologize to my daughter on all platforms."

Feeling frightened, Lexie anxiously tugged at Finley's sleeve. Worried that Eugene might discover she had slept with Nathan the previous night, she dreaded the thought of him looking down on her.

Therefore, she wanted nothing to do with pursuing this matter any further.

However, Finley interpreted her actions as mere worry and fear. He tenderly patted her hand and comforted her, "Don't worry, child. I will ensure that justice is served for what you have endured."

Eugene, seeming to strongly agree, nodded. As confusion filled the room, he slowly spoke up. "That's a good idea. Let's have a public apology on all platforms."

A flicker of hope ignited within Finley's eyes as if he had glimpsed a temporary victory. Once the matter of the apology had been resolved, only the matter of financial compensation would be left to address.

In truth, as long as Nathan was willing to apologize, all other aspects could be negotiated.

Lexie was also surprised by Eugene's easy agreement.

Jade was equally dumbfounded. How can Eugene allow Nathan to apologize?
