The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 423

Emma’s eyes widened in disbelief as she watched Alex and Dorothy walk into Thomas’ office. She immediately turned to Ethan. “Baby, what’s happening? What contract is your father signing with Dorothy?” Ethan shook his head. “I’m not sure too. I’m not that familiar with how things work in my dad’s company.” Emma huffed frustratedly. “Dorothy’s damn company used to be one of our subsidiary companies. They’re this close to going bankrupt. If your dad does work with such a small company, he’d run into a lot of problems during the process. You have to convince your dad, or else it’d be too late!” “Uhm… Yeah, I know, I know.” Ethan dismissed her remarks, clearly bothered by his father’s expression earlier. He could tell something was amiss. Alex and Dorothy left the CEO’s office after just ten minutes. The contract had been signed successfully. Before they came, Charles had already discussed with Thomas about the details of the contract. They had even settled the terms and conditions beforehand and Thomas had no objections at all. Firstly, with Alex’s title as a miracle doctor and his connections with the Yowells, the Summers and Thousand Miles Conglomerate, Thomas knew just how important he was in California. Secondly, Charles was one of the biggest shareholders of South Cali Structures. So if Charles wanted to have a say in a contract supposedly so minor, it had to be a big deal. “You came out this quickly? You were thrown out right?” Emma noticed that Alex and Dorothy had come out of the office in just ten minutes and started cackling. ‘How could they sign a contract in just ten minutes? Even if they did, it must be insignificant. But how could Thomas Hawk sign some insignificant contract? He’s the CEO of the company!’ Alex and Dorothy’s silence only made Emma cockier. “So how was it? Well, I told you so, you’re just embarrassing yourselves. Why would South Cali Structures work with your small *ss company? Dorothy, you should just hire a moving company now so that you could get out of our villa… Oh, I forgot to tell you, Grandma has already given me the villa you’re living in. Don’t you dare step foot in my house from now on.” Dorothy turned to look at Emma, her eyes were filled with sympathy. She wanted to speak up, but she decided not to. All she did was walk out of the office while holding Alex’s hands. Emma huffed and turned to demand with Ethan. “Baby, now that your father is free, let’s go in!” “Alright!” Ethan held Emma’s hand and walked towards the CEO’s office. However, he didn’t expect to be blocked by the secretary. “Sorry, Young Master Ethan. You can’t enter without the CEO’s permission.” Ethan’s expression darkened. “Secretary Jodie, why would I need permission to see my dad? Have you gone mental?” Just then, Thomas’ voice came from the office. “Let him in, but have Miss Assex leave.” Jodie nodded lightly and let Ethan in, but blocked Emma out. “Miss Assex, you may leave now.” “What? Why can’t I go in? I’m here to sign a contract! I’m your young master’s girlfriend!” Emma yelled, clearly enraged. Jodie shook her head. “Miss Assex, you must be mistaken, we don’t have any contracts to sign with you.” Emma started panicking. “Why not? I’m Emma Assex from Assex Constructions. Do you not know the contract for being the supplier for the Five Rings Project? Your young master had promised me that we would sign it today! How could you not let me in? Do you want to get fired?” Jodie glared at her coldly. “Sorry, we had signed this contract a while ago with another company, not Assex Constructions.” “What? If not us, then who signed the contract? Stoneworks?” “Dorothy-Alex Constructions.” “What? Them? No way, there’s just no way! You must be mistaken!” “Please leave, Miss Assex.” Emma started yelling. “No! That’s impossible! How could you sign it with that b*tch’s company? Her sh*tty company could never handle such a big project! You guys must have been scammed! I want to see Mr. Hawk, I want to see Ethan! Let me in!”
