Matthew darted a look at Calvin.
"Lucy's career is currently on the upswing.Won't her career be affected if you terminate the contract right away, President Abbott?"
Being a clever person, Calvin immediately replied, "Mr.Larson, I-I'll take these things into consideration.Don't worry, our company will definitely take this into consideration while deciding the amount of breach-of-contract damages we have to pay.With her career trending upward at the moment, the termination of her contract will definitely cause her to lose a huge amount of money.I-I've roughly estimated it.0-Our company will pay at least 300 million in breach-of-contract damages..."
As he spoke, he furtively studied Matthew's expression.
If Matthew were to show the slightest hint of displeasure, he would immediately raise the price.He knew that Matthew was having him solve this matter by paying money, so he couldn't be stingy.
Matthew didn't extort a lot from Calvin.
In reality, he and Lucy weren't close; he merely wanted to help her because he thought the lady was pitiful and yet kindhearted.
"300 million, huh? Well, that's sincere of you, President Abbott.In that case, how about you go and deal with the contract's termination first?" he said with a faint smile.
Calvin nodded vigorously as though his life had been pardoned.
"Sure, no problem.Just give me a minute, Mr.Larson.I-I'll have someone bring the contract over right away; he said before stepping aside to make phone calls. Matthew turned to look at Lucy.
"Is there anything else you'd like to ask for?"
Tears welled up in Lucy's eyes.She shook her head vigorously, but just as she wanted to speak, tears suddenly gushed from her eyes.
At last, the problem that had been weighing on her mind for a long time was solved, and she was overwhelmed with gratitude toward Matthew.
Meanwhile, in the room where Lucy had previously been, Alyssa sat alone at the table while trembling with fright.She was really terrified when the fight broke out in Matthew's room just now.She dared not stay in the room, so she ran away amid the confusion.
Just as she was sitting, several men suddenly came in through the door, led by a paunchy, heavy man who was escorted by a few bodyguards.
"Alyssa, why are you here alone? Didn't you say that Lucy, your bestie, is also here? Why don't I see her?" asked the heavy man with a smile as his eyes kept darting around in search of Lucy.
At the sight of the heavy man, Alyssa perked up immediately.
"You're here at last, Lennard! Oh, let me tell you this—something just happened to Lucy.I don't know how, but she offended a bunch of hooligans and is now being surrounded by them.Calvin, our boss, is surrounded by them too.The hooligans outnumbered us, so they held us captive and nearly hit me just now.You have to stick up for me, Lennard!" she said while starting to wipe her tears as though she had suffered a great injustice.
Lennard was surprised.
"Really? What kind of hooligans would dare to stir up trouble at Cameron Hotel? Could you be mistaken?"
Alyssa immediately replied, "No, I'm not mistaken.They're a bunch of young and ill-bred ruffians; I guess their parents don't care about them at home.Just think about it.They even hit a woman like me.How could these people possibly be nice guys?"
Lennard curled his lips in disdain.
"A bunch of youngsters, huh? Hmph! Such youngsters are a dime a dozen.They're bumptious, self- righteous, ignorant, and big-headed, but little do they know, they're just a bunch of little b*stards in front of a real bigwig! Don't be angry, Alyssa.Let's go; take me to them so that I can help you get your revenge.I'd like to see who the hell in Eastshire is so reckless as to bully my woman"
