Chapter 56 the Price of Cooperation
"Explain it to me!" Lucy Long crossed her legs with an interrogating tone.
This time, she could successfully sign a contract worth $150 million. Even if she refused to admit it, she knew that Yank played a vital role this time. She wanted to know if Yank had agreed to her terms. Yank was full of guilt. He played dumb and said, "Honey, I don't know what you mean."
"Don't play dumb. Did you promise her something?" Lucy glared at Yank. She would not believe that there was no deal. After all, the other wouldn't agree to the cooperation so easily.
How could Yank not know what she was thinking? He avoided her eyes and said, "No, she was my classmate. In addition, the GD Group is famous in Bayland. This cooperation is not too outrageous!"
As expected, Yank's behavior made Lucy even more certain that he had secretly reached a deal.
"Say, if you don't, I won't talk to you anymore." Lucy pretended to be angry and shouted softly.
Seeing this, Yank said. "Well, you're so smart. She said that if I want to cooperate with her, I have to go to some parties with her frequently. And..."
Halfway through his words, he looked at Lucy with some embarrassment.
"Say!" Lucy's face was serious and she was a little angry.
"She said that the work this time was not for nothing. If her family forced her to get married, I had to pretend to be her boyfriend for a while. At that time, I was in a hurry to help you, so I promised her directly." Yank was righteous without any regret.
Lucy looked at Yank coldly. After a while, Lucy's tongue was bitter. "I don't think she asked you to do this. It's likely that you agreed willingly."
"Yank, you are now my husband. If you go to the party with her and be recognized by others, I will be the one with the most damaged reputation.
No, I have to cancel this contract."
"I don't need to sell you out to keep my position."
Lucy wanted to let Isabel cancel the contract that she had just signed. Yank was a little speechless. He quickly pulled her back and said, "Lucy, are you silly? Now, this contract is legal. If you cancel it, you will break the contract. Then you will have to pay three times the penalty. Are you sure you want to give her 450 million dollars?"
He could not let Lucy go to find Isabel, or what he had done would be in vain. However, Lucy cared so much about him, he was still a little happy.
Yank's words calmed Lucy down. In fact, it was true. If she proposed to cancel it, it would be calculated according to the breach of the contract. Of course, she had to compensate for the corresponding money. She had to report such a large sum of money to her grandfather.
In the end, she sighed and warned Yank, "Yank, I warn you, if you dare act recklessly, I will definitely divorce you regardless of results."
Yank was speechless. He was stunned.
"How dare Lucy threaten me? She is too cruel. I did it for her!"
The cooperation with the Moonlight Group has dealt. Their money had been transferred into her account. It had only been three days since Austin announced the time of the challenge, and she had completed the task. Therefore, Yank accompanied Lucy to the Long family with relevant documents.
When Lucy said that she had successfully completed the order of 150 million dollars, the whole Long family was shocked.
"What? That's impossible. Are you lying?" Ted was the first to refuse to believe it. It was a huge number. How could she complete it in two three days? So he was sure that Lucy must lie.
Lucy glanced at Ted and said coldly, "Uncle, how dare I lie about this kind of thing? Grandpa, look! This is the copy of the contract, and there is also a financial report of the company." As she spoke, she handed the thing to Austin.
In fact, Austin had already been told about the thing by the financial manager. He knew immediately that the Moonlight Group had come to cooperate and money has sent to her account. And soon he thought that Yank must have done something.
However, he still pretended to read the document for a while and showed a gratified smile. Then he said to the crowd, "I can prove that Lucy did complete the challenge. I think no one has any objections now!" Everyone looked at each other. Even if they wanted to speak, they had no reason to.
Then Austin looked at Lucy apologetically and said, "Lucy, we were all wrong before. I am very sorry. You can't blame me for not standing on your side, can you?"
"No, I don't. I know your difficulties. How can I be angry?" Lucy shook her head with a smile.
Seeing this scene, Yank was immediately full of disgust for Austin. This old man was really good at acting. He obviously wanted to take control of the situation from Lucy, but now after being solved by him, he changed back to his kind grandfather who loved his granddaughter.
He knew that Austin would not stop just like that. He would also use more insidious methods to deal with Lucy and him. He could not relax at all. Otherwise, he would be easily schemed against by Austin.
It was far from the time of the fight with Austin overtly, so Yank had to secretly compete with Austin. But at present, with his power, he was a little weak. In addition to international groups like Mike's, he still needed to rope in some families to be his allies.
Yank obviously thought of Lily.
The last time he met with Titus for the first time, he felt that this person was not simple. He was more resourceful than he had imagined and had the bearing to achieve great things. He believed that people like Titus must have a deep foundation and he only revealed part of it.
On the way home, Lucy seemed to be in a good mood. She couldn't help but smile. She looked at Yank, who had been thinking about something, and asked curiously, "What are you thinking? You didn't say anything when you came out of the house."
Yank came to his senses and smiled awkwardly, shaking his head to show that it was nothing.
Even if he told her what he was worried about, Lucy would still hate him for being hostile to Austin. The closeness would be destroyed in an instant. There were some things that she had to experience in person, and then she could understand.
Such a thing could not be forced. Just let it be.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
