Chapter 200 Termination of Contract
Indeed, it was Daniel who arrived.
Walking over, Daniel asked, “Mr. Lewis, are you all having a gathering today? What happened?”
He had not noticed Donald yet.
Upon hearing Daniel call him “Mr. Lewis,” Samuel was immensely pleased.
“Let me tell you what happened,” Samuel began.
However, Zayne suddenly interjected, “Daniel, he defamed Mr. Campbell.”
Finally noticing Donald, Daniel immediately ran over excitedly and bowed at Donald. “Mr. Campbell, you’re here!”
As everything he had now was given to him by Donald, Daniel was grateful to the man.
Samuel could only swallow the words he was about to say and stare at Donald in shock.
Oh my gosh! Who can tell me what’s going on today? First Zayne, and now, Daniel is treating Donald so respectfully!
This time, even Jennifer was confused.
She had met Daniel before, and she knew that he was Donald’s subordinate.
“Mr. Campbell, I’m sorry. I’ll handle this issue,” Daniel apologized before turning to Samuel. “Mr. Lewis, I’m unilaterally terminating our contract. My lawyers will speak to you about the compensation.”
Instantly, Samuel froze as shivers ran down his spine.
Renovating one of the five hundred apartments in Sapphire Residences would have earned me at least thirty thousand. This five-month-long project would have earned me more than ten million! But now, it’s all gone! The compensation is at most around a hundred thousand! I’ve lost more than ten million in the blink of an eye!
“Mr. Wallace, there must be a misunderstanding!” Samuel hurriedly pleaded, his glasses askew.
“Indeed, there must be a misunderstanding, Mr. Wallace! Why don’t we talk it out?” Lily added.
Daniel shook his head. “I’m sorry. Even if you offended me or stabbed me with a knife, I wouldn’t have terminated the contract. However, you offended Mr. Campbell, the person I look up to the most.”
“Mr. Wallace, is there no room for negotiation?” Samuel asked, not giving up.
“No!” Daniel declared, shaking his head.
Immediately, Samuel’s face turned ashen, and he slumped down on the chair lifelessly. Slowly, a vicious expression appeared on his face.
As for Christian, he kicked a stool and collapsed onto the floor, kicking up a fuss. “I don’t care! If you cancel the contract today, I’ll die in front of you! I’ll order people to make a commotion in your company and Sapphire Residences!”
Lily cried, “You’re bullying us! Everyone, Daniel Wallace and Zayne Yates are bullying us!”
Their earlier arrogance and smugness all disappeared in a flash.
“Sure! Let’s see what you all are going to do!” sneered Zayne.
Upon hearing Zayne’s threatening voice, Christian immediately stopped acting up. He shuddered and grabbed Zayne’s leg. “Mr. Yates, give us a reason! Samuel is truly a capable man!” he begged.
“If you want to beg, beg Mr. Campbell instead,” Zayne scoffed.
Christian froze for a moment before screaming, “What? You want me to beg a security guard? An abandoned child of the Campbell clan?”
He still did not believe that Donald was a powerful man, so he dared to insult Donald.
“Dad, don’t do it! Let’s just give up on this project. We won’t starve anyway!” Lily snarled, glancing at Donald hatefully.
It’s all Donald Campbell’s fault!
Tidying her clothes, Lily continued, “We’re not going to beg you all anymore. So what if you terminate the contract? I am going to become the general manager of the credit department of Pollerton Bank soon! If you’re so capable, why don’t you try and remove me from that position?”
