Chapter 123
Thalassa strutted into the office, catching the eye of a chubby guy. His gaze went from lustful to terrified in a blink of an eye.
She felt a pair of burning eyes on her that made her feel uncomfortable. She instinctively looked in the direction of those eyes.
Turned out it was the chubby guy gawking at her. As soon as she turned to face him, he quickly averted his gaze.
He seemed rattled.
The guy was on the hefty side, sporting a belly that looked like he was six months pregnant, and in his thirties.
Thalassa felt like she had seen the guy before but couldn’t quite put finger on who he was.
Then, it hit her. He was the guy she was set up with on a blind date, Mr. Cooper!
The mere thought of him and his inappropriate behavior towards her last time made her sick to her stomach.
She shot Mr. Cooper a cold glance before heading over to the bar to prepare some coffee!
She failed to notice that Lysander’s eyes were glued on her.
“Mr. Sinclair, we, the Thorne group, are willing to hand over the entire company to the Sinclair group as long as the Sinclair group doesn’t sue us.” The man sitting with Mr. Cooper was the president of the Thorne group, Jonathan Thorne.
Despite being impeccably dressed, Jonathan looked worn out with his rough skin and frail physique and seemed insignificant in front of Lysander.
He carefully proposed to Lysander, hoping to hand over the Thorne group to the Sinclair group just to save his own skin.
Mr. Cooper was also there, adding with a fake smile as he said, “Yes, we have brought the contract. If you agrees, we can sign it right now, and the Thome group is all yours for free.”
Mr. Cooper’s full name was Liam Cooper, the head of the legal department at the Thorne group.
He came along with the president to deliver the contract to Lysander.
“The Thome group instructed our secretary to steal our design plans and used them in a fashion show. This had a huge impact and spread rumors that we plagiarized your designs, damaging our reputation. Even if we sue the whole Thorne group, it won’t compensate for our loss. And you’re expecting payment too?” David shot back fiercely, representing Lysander’s authority.
His words made Liam and Jonathan break out in a cold sweat.
Jonathan was getting more and more anxious, shooting Liam an accusing look.
He hastily offered to pay Lysander two million dollars of his own money and hand over the Thorne group to compensate for their mistake, hoping Lysander would accept
The Sinclair group had a high status in the city, and the value of their company’s image was worth billions.
Their actions indeed damaged the reputation of the Sinclair group. If the Sinclair group decided to take action, they might not be able to bear it.
Their only option was to change tactics, apologize, compensate, and minimize personal losses as much as possible.
Lysander lit up a cigarette, took a puff, and said in his authoritative voice, “I have one more condition.”
“What condition, Mr. Sinclair? Jonathan seemed excited. Mr. Sinclair’s words meant there was still a chance for negotiation. Lysander glanced at Liam and said, “The Thorne group will ban Liam from all activities in the industry.”
The statement caught Jonathan and Liam off guard.
