Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle

Chapter 1087

Chapter 1087 Partnership Canceled

Do you think that there's nothing I can do if you don't want to tellthe truth? I’m canceling the partnership right now." Irving was disappointed when he saw how she refused to tell the truth.

"Dad, I told you that I don't know anything about the drug. We’ve already signed the contracts, and if we back out now, we'll lose a lot of money!" Maxine panicked when she heard that her father wanted to pull back his funds.

It was a trivial matter to back out of the contract as Capital Corp could afford it, but Abel was no ordinary man.

If they canceled the contract, Abel would be furious and take revenge. She would not be able to defend herself at all!

Maxine had heard from Hera Sanchez that Abel was so powerful that he could make someone disappear without a trace. If such a man was unhappy and decided to go after her, she would be helpless.

Maxine, what else are you hiding from me?" Irving clenched his fist. If Verona were not standing in front of Maxine, the other side of Maxine's face would be swollen as well.

He favored his youngest daughter very much, but against the reputation and fate of the Douglas family, he chose the latter.

Verona did not understand her husband’s reaction. She defended her daughter, saying, "How is Luke's matter related to the pharmaceutical company? It’s a great thing that Maxine is interested in starting a business. You should be on her side." "I’ve indulged her too much and spoiled her!" Irving looked at his

wife and daughter with resentment. "This is a new type of drug. Have you ever thought about how your daughter got her hands on something that's not even on the black market?"

Verona opened her mouth. She thought about what he said and remembered what Luke had mentioned earlier. She suddenly realized the seriousness of the matter.

She turned around and looked at Maxine with a serious expression. ‘ Maxine, there’s no one else now. Tell us where you got the drugs from." 'I don't know!" Maxine said firmly. She could not tell them the truth, not even if they were her own parents.

Well, since you insist that you don't know anything, you have to tell the police the sthing when they cknocking on our door." Irving was incredibly disappointed in her. He turned around and called his assistant.

When Maxine heard him order his assistant to destroy the signed contract, there was a burst of despair in her heart.

' Dad..." She wanted to try to turn the situation around.

Irving had a stern expression as he walked out of the room. He could not be bothered to look at her anymore.

"Mom, what should I do?" Maxine could not help but throw herself into Verona's arms while weeping. "This partnership can't be canceled."

Verona did not understand why she was reacting this way. She thought that Maxine was upset because she grew up living a comfortable life and had never experienced this kind of failure. She comforted her, saying, "My dear, your father is too angry right now and that’s why he’s reacting as such. Don't cry. There are a lot of opportunities in the future for investments and entrepreneurship. When your father calms down, you can find another company to invest in. We’ll support you."

Maxine cried louder when she saw that they did not understand what she was afraid of.

'What should I do if Abel comes after me?’

The Island of Despair.

After Abel read Maxine's email, his expression turned gloomy.

Boss, what’s the matter?" The mercenary by his side watched the cracks on the desk and gulped. If Abel slapped someone, even the hardest bones would crack.

Damn that woman!" Abel walked out of the office with a furious expression and went to Shanks' research lab.

"What's the matter?" Shanks was busy working on finalizing the formula. It was to apply for a patent for Abel.

'That b*tch screwed things up," Abel said with a cold expression.

Shanks stopped working and looked at him.

"This b*tch said that she wants to cancel the cooperation," Abel said. ’I’ve already started preparing for the company. How dare she pull her funds out at this moment?!'

Shanks understood the situation and lowered his head to continue with the work at hand. "Now what?" "Now what?! Hmph, all the plans I made have been disrupted!" Abel was extremely angry. Originally, after the company was established, they would apply for a patent and the company could apply to be listed. However, with Maxine now out of the picture, he would not have enough funds to even establish the company.

'They’ve signed a contract with you and will have to compensate for backing out of the contract. With this money, plus the money that Robert left you, it's enough for you to start a pharmaceutical company," Shanks said.

Abel pretended to be calm. He was well aware of Robert's money.

However, he had no intention of using that money.

"If you don't want to touch that money, you can continue looking for a partner. But if you visit the Island of Despair so frequently, someone will find out sooner or later." Shanks reminded him.

'If I knew this woman was so unreliable, I wouldn’t have cback." Abel was confident before this. However, seeing what had happened, he had to listen to Shanks.

After all, there were still people outside keeping their eyes on the Island of Despair, so his frequent visits could lead to them being discovered.

Abel left angrily.

Shanks glanced at the door and lowered his head to continue working on the formula. They had to apply for patents for these drugs and they had to wait for Abel's company to be established before they could conduct clinical trials. These things cost a lot of money, so it made sense for Abel to be so upset.

However, the issues of funds and the company's operations had nothing to do with him, so Shanks calmly continued with his work.

Eler stood at the door and took a deep breath before knocking on it.

Shanks raised his gaze and glanced at her. He pointed to the tonic on the table and said, "Take this." "Yes, Mr. Shanks." Eler was there to retrieve the tonic for Bianca. After Shanks helped her save the

baby, Bianca had to take the tonic every day.

Bianca was getting better every day.

Eler walked into the research lab. Her heart was beating like a drum as she walked toward Shanks to pick up the tonic on the side of the table cautiously. Shen then turned and left.

It was not until she got away from Shanks' research lab that her heartbeat slowly calmed down.

Eler could not look directly at Shanks after her secret was revealed.

She had to constantly remind herself that she could not fall for Shanks and should not have too much eye contact with him so that her emotions would stabilize.

"Sister?" Amur walked over and looked at Eler, who was suspiciously standing in the corner.

"Huh?" Eler snapped out of it and looked at her brother.

"What are you doing here?" Amur glanced at the tonic in her hand and knew that something was wrong with her because she had just seen Shanks.

Nothing." Eler shook her head and walked to Bianca's room.

Amur knew what was going on but kept it to himself. As he watched her leave, he hoped that she would be able to snap out of it.

They and Shanks were not the skind of people. Eler would not have the happy ending she hoped for with Shanks.

Eler walked back to the room while holding the tonic. Bianca was sitting on the bed and reading a book. When she heard footsteps, she raised her gaze and looked at Eler. "You're back?"
