Charles nodded firmly.
“Yes, they are indeed Noelle’s parents.”
That’s it.
Now, let’s see what Mr. Ford decides to do.
He lowered his head, hiding the gleam of anticipation in his eyes from Mr. Ford.
For a long moment, the room was silent, the tension thick enough to cut with a knife. At last, Landon’s voice broke the stillness, icy and deliberate:
“The Eastside mall project—have we already signed a deal with Infinity Structures Inc.?”
Infinity Structures Inc. was, after all, the Jensen family’s company.
The Jensens had built their fortune in construction materials, and with Landon’s backing in recent years, Infinity Structures Inc. had nearly cornered the entire market. Any major project under the Ford Group’s umbrella sourced almost all its materials from them.
In other words, once Infinity Structures Inc. latched onto the Ford Group, it was as good as striking gold.
Little wonder Noelle clung to Landon for dear life.
At Landon’s question, Charles hurried to reply,
“We signed last week, but the down payment hasn’t gone through yet.”
He stole a careful glance at Landon, unable to guess what his boss would decide.
“Cancel it. Find a new supplier.”
Landon’s tone was as frigid as ever—cold, absolute, and final. The words seemed to freeze the air in the room.
Charles didn’t argue. He knew the Ford Group had propped up the Jensens all these years, and their contracts had always been more of a formality. In fact, Ford Group had gone out of its way to set the penalties for breach of contract laughably low, just to avoid putting too much pressure on Infinity Structures Inc.
No one could have predicted that the one to break the agreement would be the Ford Group.
Charles almost grinned at the thought. The Jensens had probably already stocked up on raw materials for this project. Now, thanks to Ford Group backing out, all that inventory was about to become worthless junk.
