Chapter 26: She Couldn’t Wait Any Longer
“Raise it by two percents?”
Gabriel was taken aback by Emma’s suggestion. “Miss Thornton, didn’t we already agree on this before? We’re about to sign the contract, why the sudden price increase?”
Seeing his surprised expression, Emma crossed her legs leisurely, exuding an air of calmness. She responded, “Indeed, we did agree, but the prices in the medicinal market have generally risen this year. If we sign the contract with you at the originally agreed price, we would be at a significant loss. I hope you understand, Dr. Sutcliffe.”
Her words sounded righteous.
Gabriel’s face slightly tensed, frowning as if he wanted to say something, but Olivia stopped him.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
“I believe Miss Thornton suddenly thought of raising the price because she saw me, right? I also have a good understanding of the medicinal market prices. We can discuss a price increase, but raising it by two percents all at once is unreasonable.”
Olivia initially wanted to handle it professionally, but it was evident that the other party was intentionally being difficult, and she saw no need to tolerate it.
Upon hearing this, Emma frowned displeasedly and responded coldly, “Regardless of the reason, this is the price now. If you two think it’s inappropriate, our company doesn’t need this business.”
Olivia calmly replied, “Since that’s the case, consider today as our wasted trip. Even if the Thornton Group is willing to cooperate after this flip-flopping, we won’t feel at ease.”
After finishing her statement, Olivia stood up and said to Gabriel, “Let’s go.”
Gabriel nodded, and the two of them left the cafe together.
“Do you have any grudge with Emma?”
Gabriel couldn’t hold back and asked when they were outside.
During their negotiation, he could clearly sense the hostility Emma had towards Olivia.
Olivia didn’t want to dwell on the past, so she simply replied, “You could say that.”
Seeing that she didn’t want to elaborate, Gabriel didn’t pursue further and shifted the conversation to medicinal suppliers. “If we don’t cooperate with the Thornton Group, we’ll have to find another supplier.”
Olivia nodded. “Let’s do that. Seacrest is a big place, apart from the Thornton Group, there will surely be other suppliers willing to work with us.”
“Agreed,” Gabriel said with a smile.
He was more unwilling to see Olivia being targeted than to find a new supplier.
In the cafe, after Olivia left, Emma’s face turned cold. She ordered Joshua in a cold voice, “Immediately go and tell all the medicinal suppliers in Seacrest. Any company that dares to cooperate with the Virus Research Institute will be the Thornton Group’s enemy!”
Joshua didn’t know what grudge Emma had with that Dr. Prescott just now.
But he could clearly feel the oppressive aura emanating from Emma since she saw Dr. Prescott earlier.
Now, hearing Emma’s tone, he trembled and didn’t dare to waste a moment. He promptly agreed, “Yes, I’ll take care of it right away.”
After speaking, he stood up and left.
For a while, Emma was the only one left sitting in the cafe.
Thinking about Victor’s attitude in the morning and the sharp momentum Olivia exuded just now, Emma felt a wave of panic in her heart.
Regardless of whether Victor’s rejection was because of Olivia, there had indeed been a marriage between the two of them. She still couldn’t determine Victor’s attitude towards that woman…
If this dragged on any longer, she didn’t dare to imagine what kind of unexpected events might occur.
She couldn’t wait any longer!
Leer’s Group.
“Sir, we’ve obtained information about the man who was with Miss Prescott last night.”
Nathan entered from outside and stood respectfully in front of Victor.
