Chapter 378
The Xaviers's business spread across many countries, and it was in various fields. However, almost 70 % of the Horton Family's main business was in the clothing industry.
Seriously speaking, the annual growth of the business of the Horton Family was not comparable to that of the Xavier Group.
If the Horton Family wanted to make their way into the clothing industry in H Country, they should start with the Xavier Group, which would be the easiest and fastest way, because the Xavier Group had dominated most of the clothing industrial chains in H Country.
Robert's eyes sparkled and he looked at his niece. His voice took on a calm and serious tone, "Judy, is the Little Mr. Xavier telling the truth?"
Judy was taken aback. Her uncle did not help her. Instead, he questioned her. Judy was immediately angry, but she was not stupid. She refuted righteously.
"Of course not. I'm the Young Miss from the Horton Family. How can I say such vulgar things?" With that, she glanced at Easton sarcastically, "Kids like him often lie. Who would believe him? However, I, the Young Miss from the Horton Family, won't take his misdeeds to heart.”
Robert looked at Easton again. He smiled and said in a gentle tone, "Little Mr. Xavier, you are still young. Perhaps you don't know that if you don't have any evidence, you shouldn't accuse others." Easton watched them pretend and rolled his eyes. He did not say anything. He just took out a recording pen from his pocket, turned it on and played the recording at full volume.
The next second, Judy's angry roar could be heard, resounding throughout the conference room and echoed.
Mostly it was Judy's voice that had been recorded, and the little guy repeated certain parts of the recording, which showed Judy's insistence on Nora carrying her bag and her curses towards him. The words "Little bastard” echoed incessantly. The expressions of the listeners changed several times.
Derek's expression turned completely cold when he heard Judy's words with his own ears.
Judy's expression changed. She never expected that they had actually recorded it.
Robert's face darkened. He couldn't say a word at the moment. The recording was evidence which showed that Judy was lying the whole time.
Lying was no big deal. But her insulting words made Robert feel completely humiliated. Judy cursed Easton right in front of his father. No matter how they were going to explain, they did the wrong thing.
The Horton Family really needed to cooperate with the Xavier Group, and they must get along with the Xaviers. Unexpectedly, before the cooperation started, his niece had offended the Xaviers.
He glanced at Judy angrily and became furious because of her stupidity.
Of course, in his opinion, there was nothing wrong with being arrogant. But they had to be reasonable and should not make any mistakes in front of the Xaviers. However, they lost all their advantages at the moment.
"Miss Judy is very capable. How did you address my son? I didn't hear it clearly. Why don't you say it again?" Derek looked at her coldly and said slowly.
Judy looked into his eyes. Somehow, she suddenly felt as if she had been strangled. Her usual arrogance was nowhere to be found at this moment.
Her heart pounded, and she could not help but take a step back. Her face turned pale, and an inexplicable chill shot up from under her feet. This inexplicable feeling made her extremely uneasy. "Uncle, uncle..." She looked at Robert, begging for help.
When Robert saw her, his heart trembled. Looking at Derek's dark eyes, he pulled the corners of his mouth stiffly, "Mr. Xavier, this is all my niece's fault. She lacked judgement and offended you, but she is just a young girl. Please forgive her."
Derek glanced at him and sneered, "Since she lacks judgement, I don't think she should be in the business world. Mr. Robert, you should take her back and teach her."
"After all, her lack of judgement is not the only problem. It is really surprising that a girl from the Horton Family should be so ill-bred."
Robert wore a tense expression. It had been a long time since he had been humiliated like this. His heart was filled with anger, but he could only hold it in.
"Mr. Xavier, we'll leave first. I'll see you at the negotiating table in two days."
After he finished speaking, he walked away with a cold expression, and his people followed. Looking at his back, one could see his raging anger.
As soon as they left, Easton cheered, "Yeah, the crazy woman is gone.”
His voice was loud, and the people from the Horton Family had not gone far, so they must have heard it. Nora was a little speechless, certain that her son had done it on purpose.
But she also breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, she was really scared by what had happened. She thought that the two sides were going to quarrel
"I've heard of the clothing brand of the Horton Family. It is influential to some extent in M Country and other countries around it. We want to cooperate with them. But with the things that have happened, our cooperation will definitely be impeded, right?" She said worriedly.
Derek raised his eyebrows. He stretched out his long arm and held her shoulder. Then he smiled ambiguously, "Are you concerned about me?"
Nora choked and her cheeks blushed. She broke free of his arm and stood up, "Who cares about you? I'm just talking about the matter. At least, I'm an employee of the Xavier Group.”
After she finished speaking, she was ready to leave, but Derek stopped her.
Derek took out a thick folder from the drawer and handed it to her, "That Judy is valued in the Horton family because she is a fashion designer.”
"She became a designer when she was 18 years old, and she has won many awards in recent years. This is her information and her designs and drafts with which she has won awards in recent years.” "In two days, the negotiation between the Xavier Group and the Horton Family will begin. You should study it as much as you can in the next two days. In addition... Be prepared. There may be a design competition between the two corporations.”
"Of course, this is just my estimate. But you need to be prepared.”
Nora was shocked. She didn't know much about the business world, but since Derek said so and got her all those materials, it was obviously possible that there might be a competition.
She nodded. She took the things and left. She had to hurry.
At this moment, Nora was completely unaware of the reason why she was so active. She didn't know whether it was because of Derek or because of the fact that she was an employee of the Xavier Group.
"Dad, are you still going to work with that Horton Family? I don't like that crazy woman.”
Derek took the little guy off the table and put him on his lap, "Son, you have to know that in the business world, there are no permanent enemies or friends. The only thing that is permanent is interests.”
Easton frowned, "What if I don't like my partner?”
Derek smiled, "Then find a way to gain your partner's interests as much as possible.”
The little guy nodded. It seemed that he had understood. After a while, he stopped struggling. His bright eyes rolled, "Dad, you just said that crazy woman is a designer, and mom is a designer too. Is mom going to compete with that crazy woman?"
