Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick) novel Chapter 1588

Amelia also looked at Sawyer with doubt when she saw this. Initially, she was the one who requested to terminate the cooperation with Sawyer. She should be the one to be blame, but why did Sawyer cover the truth?

"Director Ramsay, if you're reminding my master, then I'll thank you for your kindness. But if you're threatening my master, then I can only say that you've made a mistake. My master is used to doing whatever he wants. Even if it's Freddy, the head of the Easthern District project, he can't force my master to do something he doesn't want to do." Sawyer's assistant said to Kaleb.

With that being said, Kaleb admitted that there was no room for negotiation. He said sullenly, "Mr. Quartley, please give me some time to think about it." Then he took the agreement in his hand and walked to his people.

"Kaleb, are you alright?" Kaleb's face was pale and he was shortness of breath, the people around him asked nervously.

Kaleb paid no attention to these empty words and ask them, "Did you all hear the conversation between me and Sawyer just now?"

They all nodded in unison.

Kaleb asked in a hoarse voice, "What do you think I should do now?"

Then, everyone was silent.

Kaleb said angrily, "Don't you usually have a lot of bad ideas? Why did you all become mute at this critical moment?"

They looked at each other for a long time, and finally, someone said, "Kaleb, it's not that we don't want to give you any ideas. It's just that we don't have any ideas at all, unless you voluntarily return the position of acting chairman to Amelia..."

Kaleb's eyes widened. "That's impossible!"

The one who made the suggestion had a "I knew it" look on his face. "So, our idea doesn't work on you at all. You'd better think about it yourself."

"Why do I need you guys for?" Kaleb thought angrily.

Some people also said, "Kaleb, in fact, you shouldn't be too pessimistic. Doesn't this Sawyer want to terminate the cooperation? Then just let him lose his money and leave. We can find another investor. As soon as the Easthern District project is completed, he will definitely regret it!"

Kaleb's mood finally felt a little better. He was now afraid that everyone would be biased towards Jonathan. Fortunately, the worst case scenario did not happened.

At this time, Yasir, who was neutral, whispered to the people around him. He suddenly came over and said, "Kaleb, I think Jonathan is right."

The Easthern District project is an important project for Apex Construction Corporation. Sawyer is the biggest investor for the Easthern District project, and his cousin is the chief design engineer for the project.

Losing any one of them will be extremely unfavourable for us. Why don't you let everyone vote again?"

Yasir's words struck Kaleb's ear like a thunderbolt, making Kaleb's heart tremble.

Gritting his teeth and trying to squeeze out a smile, he said to Yasir, "Yasir, you can't be kidding."

"I'm not kidding. My buddies all think so," Yasir said solemnly.

Lier!

Kaleb endured for a while and said, "How about this, Yasir, you get your men to continue support me as acting chairman. As soon as this nonsense is over, I'll give you some more benefits, what do you think?"

Yasir immediately laughed aloud. "Fine, fine. In fact, I don't think it's a big deal even without

Sawyer. With your network, can't you find a few investors?"

Kaleb smiled reluctantly and sent Yasir back to persuade his men.

After a while, Kaleb returned with the agreement, and he was much more relaxed than before. He said, "Okay, since Mr. Quartley has decided to go, there is no point for us to keep you. We have taken turns to read the agreement just now. There is no big problem except the amount of compensation..."

At this point, Kaleb did not hide his greediness anymore. "We all agreed that Mr. Quartley should compensate us more."

"How much do you mean more?" Sawyer's assistant asked.

"Well..." Kaleb rummaged through the agreement in his hand, and said in a casual tone, "Based on this agreement, another five percent would be perfect."

The assistant subconsciously looked towards Sawyer, but he was surprised to see that Sawyer had gestured to agree.

Kaleb looked away as if he did not hear that, but his fist clenched so tightly that all the veins are visible.

"Director Ramsay." Taking advantage of Kaleb's frustration, Jonathan touched Amelia and asked softly, "Are we really not going to try again?"

Amelia shook her head, "Uncle Tucker, didn't you see it? Kaleb is domineering in the current situation. He's obviously willing to give up Sawyer's investment to secure his position as the acting chairman. Instead of fighting with him, it's better to let him pay a little more."

Jonathan was stunned. "Pay what?"

Amelia said, "I don't know if Uncle Tucker noticed that Yasir secretly negotiated something with Kaleb. I think... it's nothing more than asking for money. In short, Kaleb is able to be in this position today because he had bribed the others a lot."

Jonathan looked at her deeply and said, "Director Ramsay, it seems that nothing can be hidden from your eyes. I thought that you had completely let go of the company's matter."

As he spoke, Audrey had brought back Sawyer's assistant. He handed the newly printed agreement to Kaleb and said, "The agreement has two copies. Please stamp and sign if there is no other issue."

Kaleb immediately check through the agreement with his people to make sure that there is no other issue, then signed and stamped it.

To be honest, Kaleb was not at ease at this time, because he was not confident at all that he would find another top-notched architect like Kaiden and a generous investor like Sawyer.

The agreement then returned to Sawyer. He took a pen from his assistant, signed his name, and left a copy for Kaleb. Another copy was kept by his assistant.

After the assistant zipped the briefcase, he said to Kaleb with formality, "We will transfer the compensation to your company's bank account later. Please check later."

Kaleb hurriedly said, "Okay, okay!"

Since everything was done, Sawyer said to Kaiden, "Kay, come with me."

"I..." Kaiden hesitated and said, "Cousin brother, I'll go by myself later."

"Alright." After Sawyer responded, he shifted his gaze to Amelia, "Miss Amelia Ramsay, can we have a word?"
