“What?” Cheyenne froze, almost suspecting that she had misheard him.
“I said, as long as you wish, I can give you the Brilliance Corporation and even more,” Lucas repeated clearly again, his tone confident and firm.
Cheyenne looked at Lucas with great disappointment in her pretty eyes.
She stood up coldly and said to him, “I can accept that my husband is a mediocre person who isn’t too capable, but I don’t want Amelia’s father to be an empty vessel who does nothing but brag and lie all day.”
Cheyenne stared at him with a deep glance and then left the reception room silently.
Lucas smiled quietly and thought, It’s alright. She’ll find out one day that what I said is true.
He took out his phone and called Davis. “Conquer the Brilliance Corporation immediately. You know what to do.”
——
The news of Dominic Carter appointing Bryce Carter as the new general manager of the Brilliance Corporation quickly spread throughout the entire company. In less than half a day, all the appointment letters, seals, nameplates, and other miscellaneous items were prepared.
Sitting in a s.p.a.cious office, Bryce spun around a few times on the swivel chair and laughed heartily.
When Dominic entered, Bryce immediately went up to him. “Grandpa.”
Looking at his grandson, who was clad in an immaculate suit, Dominic nodded in satisfaction. “Not bad. You do look like a general manager. Bryce, I’m handing the Brilliance Corporation to you now. Train hard and gain more experience. In the future, the entire Carter family will belong to you too.”
Bryce looked euphoric. Actually, he was Dominic Carter’s only biological grandson, and his father had already pa.s.sed away. It was only a matter of time before the entire family would be handed over to him. He knew that his grandfather wouldn’t hand over the Carter family to those who were not related to him by blood.
However, he still had a grateful look on his face. “Yes, thank you for your trust and for grooming me, Grandpa. I’ll definitely do a good job!”
However, when he thought about Cheyenne, who used to pose a threat to him, Bryce was immediately displeased. So he said to Dominic, “However, Grandpa, I saw that Cheyenne was incredibly upset over you handing the Brilliance Corporation to me. I’m afraid she’ll deliberately retaliate against the company and do something to harm the family.”
“If she dares to do that or harbor any ill intentions, I’ll kick her and her family out immediately!” Dominic shouted.
Bryce was at ease. He wished he could chase Cheyenne away immediately.
At this moment, his cell phone on the table suddenly rang.
Filled with joy and vigor after a.s.suming his new position, Bryce picked up the phone and asked, “h.e.l.lo, who’s speaking?”
However, his smile soon stiffened, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was amiss. He even began to stammer. “W-wait a minute! I-is there a mistake somewhere? How can that be?” The cold sweat on his forehead instantly dripped down.
“What’s the matter?!” Sensing that something was wrong, Dominic immediately s.n.a.t.c.hed the phone away instead of questioning Bryce. Unfortunately, the caller had already hung up.
“What exactly happened?” Looking at Bryce’s face, Dominic knew that something terrible must have happened.
Bryce looked at Dominic anxiously. “It was a call from the Stardust Corporation, saying that they want to terminate the cooperation with us. They also said that we’ve breached the contract and want us to pay ma.s.sive compensation! Grandpa, what should we do?”
“What?! How did that happen?” Dominic panicked and stumbled, almost losing his balance and falling onto the ground.
Bryce hurriedly stepped forward to hold him. He was caught off guard by the sudden notification and had to let Dominic make the decision.
“Grandpa, have a seat and drink some tea. How could this happen all of a sudden? The contract was just signed this morning, so how could there be a breach of contract? Something must have gone wrong somewhere!”
“Yes, we’ve just signed the contract, and we haven’t taken any action yet. How is there a breach of contract? Did they mention in what way we breached it?”
“No. They merely stated that there was a breach of contract and that we have to compensate in accordance with the terms. The compensation is a huge sum of money, and we definitely can’t afford it. Why don’t I call the Stardust Corporation again?” Bryce asked.
“Yes, call and clarify with them,” Dominic instructed firmly.
Unfortunately, none of Bryce’s attempts succeeded, as the other party would simply hang up after thanking him for calling. They obviously didn’t want to speak to him in detail.
Dominic was extremely anxious, but he dared not flare up because he was facing the Stardust Corporation.
“Tell everyone to come here for an emergency meeting!” Dominic ordered.
Soon, all the Carters gathered in the conference room.
They were initially still smiling gleefully, but as soon as they entered and saw the displeasure on the faces of Bryce and Dominic, they immediately stopped smiling and sat down conscientiously.
Almost all of them were present, except Cheyenne.
Dominic frowned. “Everyone’s here. Bryce, tell them.”
“Yes, Grandpa.” Bryce sat in the general manager’s seat and repeated the news that he heard over the phone once more.
After hearing his words, the Carters were flabbergasted!
