Teri raised her eyebrows slightly. When facing Thea, she didn't look as pitiful as she did in front of others.
She curled her lips into a cold smile. "Arrange a private room for me and Mrs. Hendrix."
When no one was around, Teri wiped away the tears on her face expressionlessly.
Thea looked at her coldly. "Did Duncan tell you to do this?"
"You're thinking too much." Teri threw the tissue into the trash can with a cold expression. "I just don't like you and don't want to work with you."
Thea clenched her fists. "You should know very well that if you don't cooperate with Sparkle Rocks, there will also be trouble for the Langstaff Group. If I remember correctly, at the beginning of the year, you guys had accepted a big order. Who will still supply for you?" Teri's face darkened. "Sparkle Rocks isn't the only one that can provide the raw stones. I naturally have a way."
"Furthermore.." She walked to Thea's side and gave her a strange smile. "I didn't say that I won't work with Sparkle Rocks for the rest of my life. I have my own requirements. If you are removed from this position and return to others, I'll immediately agree to renew the contract with Sparkle Rocks,"
"I'm really sorry. This position is mine to begin with. There's no such thing as returning it." Thea's expression was cold and her attitude was firm.
"Since that's the case, there's nothing else to say. You may leave." Teri gestured for Thea to leave.
Thea suddenly stopped after taking a few steps.

She turned around and stared at Teri with a complicated expression. "For a man, is this worth it? The Langstaff Group has always been famous for being strict and fair in business re you were chosen as the successor, you naturally are capable. Forget it, I hope you don't regret today's public decisio
When Teri heard this, the suppressed anger and resentment in her heart boiled again.
She turned around and stared at Thea's back with a sinister gaze. "I won't regret it. On the contrary, I will feel that I was too kind today. Tomorrow, I promise to let the entire Silvercreek know what you did today."
Thea did not look at her anymore. She had a calm expression on her face, as if she did not care about her threat at all.
Joyce was waiting at the door. When she saw Thea's ugly expression, she knew that they had not reached an agreement.
She went forward and held Thea's hand and comforted her carefully, "Thea, don't be too angry. You are pregnant. No matter how important your business is, it's not as important as your health."
Thea placed her hand on her abdomen and tried to calm herself down. The corners of her mouth twitched, but her smile was uglier than when she was crying.
She said, "Things are a little bad."
-Joyce hurriedly said, "It's just the Langstaff Group. We can still find other partners."
Thea shook her head. Her eyes were filled with worry. She said, "How can things be so simple?"
The Langstaff Group was the leader. If it was gone, Sparkle Rocks would lose most of its clients.
Although those who no longer worked with Sparkle Rocks might gradually realize that they could not find a better supplier

Many of the raw stone processing plants in Sparkle Rocks were too old. There were many problems with the factory that Thea visited previously. According to the current situation, the best solution seemed to be to close some factories that were not profitable.
Otherwise, they might not even be able to afford the wages of the workers in the next quarter.
When Thea closed her eyes, she could imagine the eager gazes of those children and workers. She used to be so confident that she could do it well.
Now, Thea felt powerless. She also felt that she had let down her grandfather's expectations of her. An urgent honk sounded, startling Thea and disrupting her thoughts.
She saw the Lincoln in front of her and frowned.
Joyce asked in confusion, "Are they sent by Nicolas?"
"No." Thea shook her head.
The car window rolled down, revealing a handsome face.
Ollie Windrow adjusted his glasses and said, "What a coincidence, Mrs. Hendrix. We meet again."
Thea did not expect Ollie to appear in this place. She said to Joyce, "Let's get in the car."
Ollie found it funny. "Mrs. Hendrix, aren't you a little too confident? Why do you think I'm here to pick you up?"
Thea bluntly said, "Mr. Windrow, if you're not here to talk to me could it be that you're here to attend the party that Teri specially set up for me?"
Ollie smiled and opened the car door. "Come on in."
Joyce had heard of Ollie and knew that he was the son of the richest man in Silvercreekth.
To be honest, she did not have a good impression of him.
Although he looked gentle and refined, it was said that he did not have much ability. He did not know how to manage family's business and was far worse than his older brother who was an illegitimate son.
Not only that, Ollie only participated in entertainment all the time and did not have any
ambitions.
his
In short, Joyce found him to be unreliable.
On the way, Joyce gently nudged Thea with her elbow and used her eyes to ask Thea what was going on.
Ollie sat opposite the two of them and closed his eyes to rest, He said directly, "Mrs. Hendrix, aren't you going to introduce your friend to me?""
"I almost forgot, Mr. Windrow, this is..." Thea was about to speak
"Actually, I know her. She is the daughter of the Maddox family, Joyce Maddox. I've seen her at the alumni party of Aurelia University before. Miss Maddox, you don't seem to have a good impression of me." Ollie did not wait for Thea to finish speaking. He opened his eyes and stared at Joyce with a smile.
However, there was no smile in his eyes.
Joyce imitated his fake smile, "Mr. Windrow, you've misundered. There were too many perede, Ap you?
Ollie chuckled, "Forget it I'm here today to discuss besines with Mre HendrixNôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
