Starting with A Divorce by Gloria Warren

Chapter 403 End of Cooperation

Manuel laughed bitterly. “I know you want to draw a clear line with me, but there is no need to be so

straightforward.”

“If I were your psychologist, I would not conduct a mental intervention. I want you to use your

consciousness. When you are in a dream, there should be a reminder in your heart, and that is to remind

yourself that you are dreaming.”

It was about consciousness. When one was dreaming, one had to tell himself or herself that it was a

dream to wake himself or herself up.

“How can I remind myself?” Manuel asked in confusion.

Ainsley thought for a while. “For example, from now on, you will be indoctrinating yourself that this is a

dream. When you dream, you will naturally know that you are dreaming and force yourself to wake up.”

“I understand.”

Manuel stared straight at Ainsley, and Ainsley directly packed up her things. “Mr. Gage, I’ll go home first.”

After saying this, she left without looking back.

Manuel watched her back from behind with only a bitter smile.

The news that Irene was put in jail had already spread throughout the city. Although there was still no

verdict and concrete evidence, the accusation of indirectly killing Iliana had already been pinned on her

head.

At the same time, the Wade Group returned to the hands of Brady. The first thing he did when he went to

the company was to issue a statement.

“The accident on PineMist Island has nothing to do with the Wade Group. It is a scheme. We will release

evidence later.”

This statement directly put the Wade Group and the Easton Group under the spotlight. The

announcement directly pointed out that the Easton Group did not hesitate to frame the Wade Group to

get out of trouble, and the Easton Group did not respond to this.

The second thing Brady did was to directly announce that although the engagement with the Gage family

was canceled, the Wade family and the Gage family were still long-time friends. Their relationship would

not change, and the Gage family did not respond either.

Every hour, the assistant would enter the office to report to Brady.

“Mr. Wade, the Gage Group has not responded yet.”

Brady nodded. His fingertips tapped on the table. There was no response?

Could it be that the Gage family really wanted to fight against them?

In the negotiation room with a serious atmosphere, Manuel received the representative sent by

Applegath.

“I’m very sorry. The cooperation is canceled because of my personal affairs. I can’t tell you about it, but

the compensation to your company will be ensured.” Manuel chose to take the initiative.

“Mr. Gage, since you said so, I can only express my regret on behalf of the group.”

Manuel gave the assistant a look. The assistant understood and placed the three drafted contracts on

the table.

“Your company actually doesn’t need to feel sorry. I believe that we will have the next chance of

cooperation soon.”

The representative of Applegath felt somewhat uncomfortable after seeing the contracts of termination.

He almost thought that Manuel was underestimating his company.

Hearing this, the representative of Applegath stood up and took the initiative to reach out his hand,

revealing a typical commercial smile. “Okay, I will tell my boss about everything you said.”

Since there would still be cooperation, then the end of the cooperation was not about a problem on the

surface.

On the muddy road of business, everyone had a clear mind. The representative of Applegath quickly

understood what Manuel meant..

Manuel stood up gracefully and shook hands with him. “Thanks.”

That day, the Gage Group released a notice around 9:10 am.

“The Gage Group has canceled the cooperation with Applegath and the Wade Group.”

The content of the notice was simple and clear, and it was official. For various reasons, it involved

commercial secrets, and thus it would not be publicly announced…

When Brady saw this announcement, it was too late.

He was so angry that his eyes were red, and his hand holding the cane trembled.

All these years, he knew that he was old, but he had always been in good health. So he almost forgot

what it felt like to be so angry that he was dizzy.

“Good, good, good!” Brady said, then closed his eyes, and exhaled a long breath.

His confidant hurriedly helped him sit down and handed him a cup of tea. “Mr. Wade, doesn’t this mean

that both sides will suffer?”

Brady took a sip of tea and calmed down before he snorted coldly, “Manuel thought of a move that would

bring both of us losses. He is indeed ruthless.

“Go back to the company now.” Brady put down the cup in his hand and suddenly stood up. “No, I will go

to the company with you.”

The confidant knew that this matter was of great importance and quickly called someone to drive a car

over. They rushed to the company as fast as they could.

The contract had already marked the number of orders. The Wade Group was only responsible for a part

of the orders in the factory. Now, the Gage Group ended the cooperation, and the rest of the orders were

all left to the factory of the Wade Group.

The key point was that the Wade Group had no way out at all. According to the agreement, if one side

broke the contract, the Wade Group would have to take the orders.

It was impossible for the Wade Group to break the contract like the Gage Group.

If so, not only would the Wade Group lose a large sum of money, but it would also lose its reputation. If

the impact was worse, the factory would probably go downhill in the future.

Brady would never allow such a situation to occur.

He did not have time to rest. He held a meeting for nearly three hours in a row. After the meeting. he

looked much older.

The confidant stood beside him and summarized the meeting contents.

Brady glanced at him and waved his hand. “There is no need to make a statement. There is no useful

proposal.”

The confidant stopped for a moment and finally put the pen down.

“Was there a call from the factory?” Brady asked wearily.

“Yes, the person in charge of the factory is anxious and has been urging the company to give a solution.”

Brady stared at the black notebook on the table for a long time and sighed, “There is only one way Jeft

“Help me up. Let’s go to the Gage Group.” Brady looked at his confidant.

Brady was old and had come to the company, so Manuel had to meet him.

It was Brady’s plan. When seeing Manuel in the lounge, he put on a bright smile. “Manuel.”

“I’m sorry, Mr. Wade. If you have something to say, just say it. I still have a lot of work to do later.” Manuel

looked at him coldly.

Brady’s smile froze slightly. He changed his tone and said, “Since that’s the case, I won’t keep you in

suspense. Manuel, I won’t say anything about you quitting the collaboration with Applegath, but you can’t

ignore the mess.”

When Manuel heard what he said, Manuel felt extremely sarcastic. The older Brady was, the thicker his

skin became.

He leaned back, seeming interested. “Then what do you think I should do?”

Brady thought that there was a chance and hurriedly said, “How about this? On behalf of the Wade

Group, I can pay for the machines and production line in your hands. How much? Name the price.”
