Howard had not expected the situation would coincidentally revolve around the contract for Mendorra Tower. For him, whether it was a three-year contract or one spanning three hundred years, it posed no problem whatsoever.
“What authority do you have to speak here?” Tasha angrily retorted.
“Tasha, are you deaf or just mentally challenged? Didn’t you hear Talia? He’s my brother-in-law!” Yuffie responded loudly. Then, addressing Albert, she said, “Grandpa, Howard is asking you a question. Give a definite answer!”
th, Yuffie had no confidence in Howard securing the contract for endorra Tower. However, for some reason, she felt that since Howard asked, maybe he really had a way to handle this matter.
“Nonsense, of course!” Albert responded after taking a sip of tea. “As long as you can secure a three-year contract with Mendorra Tower, not only will I fulfill my previous promises, but I’ll also supplement the dividends from the twenty percent shares over these years!”
For him, the twenty percent shares were inconsequential if the company’s products could enter Mendorra Tower. After all, the potential brand leap for the company and the long-term profits would far exceed the value of the twenty percent shares. Moreover, determining the value of the 20% shares was entirely within his control, and he could easily manipulate it.
After taking another sip of tea, he continued addressing Howard, ” However, there needs to be a deadline for this matter. I can’t fulfill the promise several decades later. We need a timeframe.”
“Very
ry well! Let it be settled. I hope you won’t back out later!” Howard responded, “This won’t take decades; just one day!”
“Tomorrow before the end of the workday, get ready to sign the
contract!”
Before he could finish his words, laughter erupted in the banquet hall People stared at him as if he were a fool and thought he might as well just say he owned Mendorra Tower!
Yuffie, who initially had a bit of confidence in Howard, looked away, her lips twitching several times. She could not help but sigh at how embarrassing Howard’s actions were.
“Howard, don’t be ridiculous!” Holden said with a frown.
Probably due to her earlier impulsiveness, Kaylee seemed to have no energy to yell anymore. She glanced at Howard without further outbursts, completely speechless.
Uncle, rest assured, I know what I’m doing!” Howard gave Holden a reassuring look.
“Grandpa, don’t worry! Daddy said he can do it. He’s a great hero, and he won’t break his promise…” Riley’s innocent voice chimed in.
“Good girl! I’ll keep our promise.” Howard kissed the little one’s
forehead.
Riley exclaimed, “Mmhmm! I believe in you!”
The gentleman beside Tasha, Walter Beech, sneered and spoke,” Securing a contract for Mendorra Tower in one day? You really amaze me! Do you know how difficult it is to get into Mendorra Tower?”
“Who a are you?” Howard looked at him calmly and asked, “It’s a family. matter for the Jenkins family; why do you need to stick your nose in?”
“He’s Walter Beech, my boyfriend, and he can say whatever he wants!” Tasha scoffed.
