Chapter 106 She’s the Clown Laurie’s sharp questioning made everyone in the signing hall sweat for Karina. Leaving aside all factors, under this kind of coercion, if one cannot come up with a reasonable explanation, it really doesn’t hold up. At this moment, the entire signing hall was so quiet that it was suffocating. Corey pulled Laurie aside and whispered, “Laurie, let’s just forget it. Maybe the Huber Group is really not convenient to sign with us. Let’s choose to negotiate with them privately after the meeting. Can we not be so aggressive?” Laurie pushed Corey away and said, “Don’t try to persuade me. The Huber Group promised us that we could sign the contract for the EBD outsourcing project.” “And, Mr. Aguilar also publicly announced a list of 20 collaborating companies in front of all the participating bidding units.” “Now, suddenly they tell us that we are no longer among the signatories.” “There must have been some undisclosed dark secrets among them. Today, I must demand an explanation from the Huber Group!” The vast signing hall of the Huber Group project was so quiet that one could hear each other’s heartbeat. Many people had quietly stepped back, trying to keep as much distance. as possible from Laurie and Corey. Some old aristocratic families in Hallcester knew that no one had ever dared to directly confront Ms. Huber in such a public setting. They truly admired Laurie’s courage. On the territory of the Huber Group, Karina was forced with such a disrespectful tone. Today, if Harold were present, there would be no need to reason with her. He could make these three families disappear on the spot. However, Karina did not handle the matter in an extreme way. And he watched Laurie, Miranda, and others with a constant indifferent expression. “Is that all the questions? Have you finished speaking?” Karina took a step forward and glanced indifferently at Laurie and the others. “I can give you a reasonable explanation right now. “It’s simple, the size of your three companies doesn’t qualify you to collaborate with the Huber Group.” “There were no issues with the bidding, contracting, and final approval process of the outsourcing project for the Eastern Business District.” “The 20 lists previously announced by Mr. Aguilar were selected in the first round of the selection process today.” “However, this does not mean that all twenty merchants can become partners of the Huber Group’s EBD project.” “The final decision of the review is made by me!” “You three were removed from the list of business partners, and it was my direct request.” “This was my explanation.” As the words fell, everyone in the signing hall turned their mocking gazes towards Laurie, Miranda, and the others. Karina had already made it clear. Did the Huber Group not even consider them? What more explanation is needed? The outsourcing project of the Eastern Business District was originally owned by the Huber Group. Willingness to cooperate with you is a matter of personal relationship. It was only natural that I didn’t want to cooperate with you. What qualifications do you have to make others explain! It was really ridiculous! Moreover, there were no issues in the implementation of the entire process of the signing conference. Even though Reginald implied that all 20 candidates could be signed before. However, the final approval and signature by the president is a necessary step for any company. The signing process of the outsourcing project of the Huber Group was overall unremarkable. Laurie didn’t know what to say for a moment. Faced with Karina’s powerful aura, I instantly felt uncomfortable all over my body. Miranda was even more nervous and embarrassed. This blatant contempt made her shudder. It seemed that all the eyes on the scene were filled with needle–like pricks, which made her extremely uncomfortable. The clown was actually oneself! Begging for food in front of someone’s door, and unreasonably demanding why they won’t give it to you. Even threatened to demand a reasonable explanation from the other party. Otherwise, we would resort to using the power of the media to denounce. This is no different from throwing a tantrum. What the Huber Group explained to you! Miranda only just regained consciousness at this moment. This unreasonable way of causing trouble will only make the situation worse for oneself and the Brown Group. She really wanted to escape from here immediately. In a daze, she caught a glimpse of Robin standing behind, boredly scrolling through his phone. In that moment, Robin/unexpectedly glanced at her, and there was a hint of mockery in his eyes. This scene instantly ignited the anger in her heart. Reason was completely absent before. 106 She’s the Clown So, she took a step forward and said coldly, “Ms. Huber, by saying these words and adopting such a dominant posture, are you trying to tell everyone that the Huber Group is powerful enough to bully Hallcester, a smaller company than yours?” Karina looked coldly at Miranda and said, “If you think that’s what it means, then that’s what it means! The Huber Group has this attitude towards anyone who causes trouble for no reason!” Miranda was at a loss for words for a moment. Faced with Karina’s lofty and arrogant attitude, her heart was filled with endless anger, but she had no way to vent it. In front of Ms. Huber, all my words seemed so pale and powerless. Miranda understood in her heart that Karina certainly had her proud capital. It was completely normal for the Huber Group not to sign with you. Continuing to be entangled in this matter is truly embarrassing! Although the contract was not signed successfully, I felt frustrated in my heart, but there was nothing I could do about it. You were weak, and you had to endure the helplessness that you were extremely unwilling to bear. That’s the truth! In the face of great strength, no one has the qualification to argue! The anger that was previously provoked by Robin instantly dissipated. She sighed quietly and prepared to turn around and leave. At this moment, Reginald agreed and said, “Ms. Brown, the Huber Group does not accept the collaboration of your three companies. It is Chapter 106 She’s the Clown not Ms. Huber’s decision, but Robin’s request to remove you all.” As soon as Reginald said this, a wave of confusion swept through the crowd. It was obvious that trouble was brewing and there was a hidden meaning behind it. What did the vice president of the Huber Group reveal by speaking controversial words in such a situation? There were serious disagreements within the Huber Group. Karina looked coldly at Reginald.. Reginald seemed to realize the inappropriateness and hastily explained, “Ms. Huber, I… didn’t mean that. This matter wasn’t for you. to handle. I meant for them not to blame you.” Laurie heard this sentence and immediately became excited: “Ms. Huber, it turns out that the management of your Huber Group was too chaotic. Just one bodyguard, Robin, could influence the final outcome of this signing event!” “So, this signing event that your Huber Group vigorously promoted, wouldn’t it be just child’s play?” “Ms. Huber, since this matter was caused by Robin, we strongly demand that he step forward and provide us with an explanation!” As soon as Laurie uttered these words, a low murmur of discussion spread through the signing hall. “Who was Robin?” “It is said that Robin was Ms. Huber’s bodyguard, and their relationship was quite extraordinary, hehe…” “Ms. Huber’s bodyguard? It’s quite absurd that a small bodyguard can freely demand the removal of any contracted business partner.” Originally, after Karina appeared, the matter had already been settled. Reginald’s rhythmic statement instantly caused chaos in the crowd. It was obvious to anyone with keen eyes that Reginald deliberately brought trouble upon Robin. Karina furrowed her brows slightly and gave Reginald a cold, piercing gaze. “Ms. Huber, I really didn’t know this situation would arise, I didn’t mean it…” Reginald explained repeatedly. Karina snorted, “Alright, I understand what you mean!” She understood in her heart that, in this way, no matter how it was explained, this matter would have an extremely negative impact on the image of the Huber Group. She was about to announce the end of today’s signing ceremony directly and cancel the upcoming press conference. Robin took a step forward, glanced at Miranda and Laurie, and shrugged. “You want me to give you an explanation, right? Well, I promise to meet the demands of each and every one of you!” “Ms. Huber, how about this? Let’s hold the upcoming press conference together.” Karina glanced at Robin’s calm and relaxed expression, unsure of how he would handle the matter. Robin was very strong and powerful. However, dealing with these public relations issues cannot be resolved by relying on fists and kicks. Moreover, Reginald was there on the side, fanning the flames. In case they were caught in the whirlpool of public criticism, both Robin himself and the Huber Group would suffer significant losses. Can he handle this kind of thing in the past? However, she did not stop Robin, without a hint of hesitation. She would not refuse any of his requests. Even if it meant risking the entire Huber family, or even one’s own reputation and life.
