When She Stops Playing Nice

Chapter 21

James cleared his throat. “Since Dad is stable now, why don’t we transfer him here?” This way, there would be a vacancy at Prover Hospital. They could then ask the Jackson family to transfer James over.

Ella nodded. “That’s what I think too.”

The phone rang suddenly, interrupting them. It was from James’s secretary. “Mr. Miller, Dale Group just said they wanted to end the collaboration.”

“What?” James’s eyes went wide in disbelief.

Dale Group had twenty–nine diamond mines globally, making it the largest and most renowned company, and involved in many aspects of the industry. It was also the supplier for the internationally renowned Quaria.

A year ago. Dale Group proposed a collaboration with Miller Jewels, offering a discount on their supply. Ella and Phillip thought Dale Group recognized their potential. Perhaps they would be an internationally renowned luxury brand like Quaria.

Since then, Miller Jewels had grown significantly. The termination would have a significant impact on Miller Jewels.

“Why?” James demanded.

The secretary was startled by James’s frantic tone. “I–I don’t know.”

James shouted, “You didn’t ask? Did I pay you to loaf around?”

The secretary stammered, “Mr. Miller, I did ask, but they didn’t explain. They even…”

James barked out, “What? Spit it out.”

The secretary stuttered. “The person said it was great. They hated seeing how we ruined their exquisite handpicked gems by turning them into ugly and tasteless jewelry. They said we have no aesthetic sense
