Chapter 435 Chapter 435 Was that it Jack fell silent for a brief moment before saying that he'd look into it for me. "Don't worry about what's going on overseas. I'll send someone to investigate it. Focus on handling the issues revolving around your stuand Green Group. Then, everything will be fine." I nodded in response. What he said was true. However, would the mastermind behind all of this hocus-pocus letresolve the issue that easily? I didn't go to the hospital. Instead, I went back to my company. A bleak silence enshrouded the office, and everyone's morale seemed to be low.

Crystal immediately walked towardonce she saw that I was back. "Why did you chere directly? Don't you have to do scheck-ups at the hospital?" I shook my head. "Tellabout the situation." Crystal gathered everyone in the conference room and gave them a brief rundown of the situation. Actually, it was pretty straightforward. Leonard had gone out of his way and sought out another company to collaborate with my studio.

Just as the project was nearing completion, they found all sorts of loopholes in the contract and demanded my stufor compensation. Aside from paying the collaborating company, I also had to pay Harmon Group the compensation.

A lot of the contents were unreasonable, but it would take a year to deal with the lawsuit, at the very least. "I consulted the lawyer. He said we should consider ourselves lucky if it only drags on for a year. If we have to deal with multiple lawsuits at the stime, it might take much longer than that. By then, our circulating capital would be frozen, and we wouldn't be able to do anything. I'm sorry, Eva. I messed up." Crystal said tearfully, even her voice becoming a little choked up.

Theld her shoulder and asked, "What are you talking about? This isn't your fault. If anything, Leonard is to be blamed here." The feud betweenand Leonard got so big that everyone knew about it. My colleagues were also aware of it. It was just that my stuwas much more insignificant compared to him.

If it weren't because my friends were standing behind me, Leonard would probably have draggedback to his side and forcedto remarry him.

Jack sat next toand read the contents of the contract at his pace. He put the document down several minutes later. "Ask your collaborating company to send their representative here. It's better to settle this issue in person." Crystal's eyes widened as she looked at me. Meanwhile, I nodded in response. "Do as he said." Not long after, a representative from the company cover to my studio. Initially, he was acting cockily and aloof. However, he immediately froze when he saw Jack "What are you doing here, Mr. McLennan? Are you here to discuss a collaboration with them?" "I'm here to handle the collaboration between your company and Ms. Green's studio. My legal team is here as well." As a matter of fact, Jack studied the contract a long tago, and there were a lot of areas that were worth discussing.

The opposing party might intend to file a lawsuit, but that didn't mean they'd definitely make it to court.

I took a deep breath and forced a professional smile on my face. "I've read the contents of our contract, and most of it was verbal agreements. There were plenty of witnesses there back then. Your company had a private collaboration with Harmon Group, but this was something we didn't know beforehand. So, we're not going to bear the loss on their part." This was something I had thought through when I was on my way here. If Leonard wanted to dragdown, he'd have to establish ssort of connection between my stuand Harmon Group.

All I had to do was draw a clear line, and the rest would fall into place.

The person raised an eyebrow. "I think you're aware that Mr. Harmon isn't someone I can afford to trifle with, Ms. Green." "Neither am I." Jack tilted his body slightly and leaned on his chair. "I have Eva's back. Are you sure you want to go up against her?"

I gawked at Jack, and so was the opposing party's representative Here I was, thinking he had ssort of brilliant moves. After all, he got his legal team here. Was that it, though?

I gave Jack's lawyer a troubled look, who responded with a wry smilen Then, he proceeded to explain a lot of legal implications to the opposing party's representative.

Just as I hadn't the foggiest idea what the lawyer was talking about, he chuckled and added "After all, your company's going to have collaborations with the McLennon family. If you ask me, I think you should make concessions now."
