“Mr. Maddock, my secretary has already revised the contract and should be arriving in about five minutes,rk replied.

Peter’s frown deepened, and he looked visibly displeased. “Mr. Sumner, we’ve already agreed on the partnership. Why the rush? Do you think I’m going to back out?”

Noticing Peter’s displeasure, Clark quickly attempted to explain, “No, Mr. Maddock, that’s not what I meant.

“Then what do you mean? I’ve told you I need to catch a flight, yet you’re holding me up. Mr. Sumner, Thave other options too!” With that, Peter stood up and left.

As he opened the door, Damon emerged from the adjacent Room

Clark hurried after Peter. “Mr. Maddock… I can arrange a car to take you…”

Before he could finish, he noticed Damon standing by the door, and his expression soured.

Damon replied indifferently, “Mr. Maddock, I’ll take you to the airport.

“Uncle Damon, I’m really sorry about this. I hope you can forgive me. I promise it won’t happen again!” he apologized hastily.

It felt like sharp needles piercing Clark, making him squirm in his seat as his face turned pale.

“Uncle Damon-” he began.

Damon cut him off, “Did you use the same method to snatch those Prospectus Technology deals before?”
