Chapter 357

Mr. Marshall never expected Liam Sullivan to have the contract prepared in advance.

This move completely eliminated any room for further negotiation.

Mr. Marshall had approached Liam with a probing attitude.

He had accidentally learned that Zachary Hudson and Liam Sullivan were once bitter rivals.

They had a complete falling out years ago over a woman.

The business world is a battlefield, and such complicated relationships present profitable opportunities.

He was betting on whether Liam cared more about face or money.

His initial offer was significantly higher than the price given to Hudson Group.

Not only did Liam accept it, he proactively raised the price by two times.

The answer couldn't be more obvious.

Liam paused just as he was about to leave.

He turned back to look at Mr. Marshall, who was gathering the contract documents.

His gaze was sharp as a blade.

"Mr. Marshall, you should know my temper."

"I despise it when people use those I care about to threaten me."

"Seeking profit is acceptable, but one must know when to stop."

Mr. Marshall's face instantly turned pale.

He quickly nodded and bowed in assurance. "It won't happen again. It won't happen again."

A faint smile touched Liam's lips.

"Pleasure doing business."

"Pleasure, pleasure," Mr. Marshall hurriedly replied.

Liam strode out of the private room with long steps.

Mr. Marshall pulled out a handkerchief and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

His little scheme had been seen through completely.

When dealing with someone like this, clever tricks only work once.

Mr. Marshall was just about to leave after packing his things.

Zachary Hudson's assistant suddenly approached him.

"Mr. Marshall, we're supposed to sign the contract tomorrow. Why are you here?"

Assistant Gao had heard the rumors and came specifically to salvage the situation.

He had just seen Liam leaving the private room.

Mr. Marshall's smile was strained.

"Assistant Gao, a merchant chases profit. It's only natural."

Gao Jing's expression immediately darkened.

He wasn't ready to give up. "Mr. Marshall, we can discuss the terms again."

"Unnecessary," Mr. Marshall waved his hand in refusal.

Gao Jing pressed further. "Have you already signed a contract with them?"

Mr. Marshall could only offer a bitter smile.

He certainly wouldn't admit he had been outmaneuvered.

Even though he didn't get Hudson Group to raise their price, tripling the original wasn't a loss.

Liam was truly extravagant when it came to that woman.

It was already 7:30 PM when Liam left the tea restaurant.

He was about to retrieve his car and leave when Chloe Winston suddenly rushed out from the side.

This woman had been pestering him relentlessly since a chance encounter.

Liam had completely lost his patience. He simply stepped around her and continued walking.
