Chapter 90 Tearing Up the Agreement Directly
Zac had just returned from a business trip and immediately Invited both of them out for drinks.
“Come on, let’s drink… Today, we won’t leave until we’re three sheets to the wind!”
He tried to liven up the atmosphere. However, Jonathan remained stoic as he entered Nightfall Lounge. He exuded an air of resentment, drinking in silence without uttering a word.
Two days had passed since he last visited Zenwood Gardens, and Rose hadn’t shown any reaction. Frustrated, he took a swig of the strong alcohol, but it did little to alleviate his agitation.
After observing him for a moment, a faint smile graced Miles’s lips as he said, “I need to take a call.” Then, he left the private room. Just as Rose thought Miles wouldn’t answer the call, it rang.
“Hello, Mr. Young… I’m sorry to disturb you, but I need your help. I urgently require several jewelry materials. I’m facing a situation here, and after thinking it over, you’re my only hope in the entire Aquastead.”
Rose and Miles had only met briefly on a couple of occasions, and Miles had helped her twice before. However, she wasn’t sure if he’d assist her again this time.
Miles found this request rather surprising.
Finch Group was in the mining business. Even if the materials weren’t in Aquastead, it wouldn’t take more. than a few hours for Rose to get them if she approached Jonathan.
However, she said she could only rely on him. He furrowed his brow slightly. After a moment of silence, Rose thought he was going to decline.
“I’m sorry. If it’s inconvenient, then
She didn’t want to trouble him.
Before she could finish her sentence, Miles snapped back to reality and firmly stated, “It’s convenient. Of course, I can help you. What do you need? Il deliver it to you.”
Rose was taken aback. How could she dare to trouble Miles to deliver the materials to her?
Before she could politely decline, Miles spoke up again, “Please send me the list of what you need and
the address.”
Then, he ended the call. Rose was momentarily stunned as she stared at her phone. Soon, she regained her composure. Time was of the essence, and she had to make every moment count.
She quickly compiled a list and sent it to Miles along with the address. Meanwhile, Miles returned to the private room and took his coat before leaving.
He gave Jonathan a meaningful glance as he said, “I’m sorry, but I have a prior engagement. I’ll be leaving first.”
His insufferable look left Jonathan feeling particularly irritated. After downing a few more drinks, even Zac noticed his unusual behavior.
“What’s wrong? Did you lose to the little beauty again?
+15 BONUS
He was just making a casual guess, but Jonathan tightened his grip on the glass. Zac instantly choked on
the drink.
“So, you lost to her?” he asked regretfully.
During this time, his father had kept him busy with various tasks all over the country. He was sure to have missed out on a lot of gossip.
“You’re not falling for her, are you?”
He squinted his eyes playfully. Jonathan furrowed his brow. He was serious about Rose, but did he love him. Love was too extravagant. He glanced at Zac and remained silent for a while.
Then, he suddenly spoke. “If there’s an agreement where one party wants to end it, but you don’t want it to end, what would you do?”
Zac instantly smelled a juicy piece of gossip.
“Isn’t it simple? If you’re a bit domineering, you just tear up the agreement. Just make everything go as you say. But if you want to be a bit cunning, quietly prevent the conditions for ending the agreement from being met. That should do the trick.”
“What happened? Do you have an agreement with the little beauty? What kind of agreement? Tell me
more.
“It seems that the little beauty wants to end this agreement. Hmm… I wonder what’s in this agreement Is it something interesting?”
He was brimming with excitement.
“Stop pestering me!” Jonathan scoffed.
Then, he set his glass aside, got up, and left the private room.
“Where are you going?”
Zac chased after him.
“I have a date with
my little beauty,” Jonathan replied.
At this moment, he felt inexplicably elated. Although he couldn’t directly tear up the agreement, he had already ensured that the conditions for ending it couldn’t be met.
Upon leaving Nightfall Lounge, he made a phone call and instructed Finley, “Notify the bank to reject any further transfers to the account that was used a couple of days ago. As for the reason, let the bank figure it out themselves.”
After hanging up the phone, he headed straight to Zenwood Gardens. He wondered if Rose had already returned home at his time. He was surprisingly eager to see her.
