"This is my family matter, why is it any concern of yours?" Ralph retorted.
Caleb scoffed disdainfully. “Sure, it's none of my business. But | advise you to cancel your dealings with the Bowen familypromptly. Give back whatever you've gained from them.
“Otherwise, if the collaboration falls apart and you end up facing legal consequences, Timothy won't be able to protect you here.Remember, this is Nord City."
Ralph countered, “As you pointed out, this is indeed a branch office, and within the framework of the Barrett Group's regulations,| have the authority to manage collaborations here in Nord City.
"Despite Timothy's position as CEO, he cannot simply order me to terminate the partnership. He, too, must adhere to theestablished procedures.”
Nonetheless, Ralph had already signed the partnership agreement with the Bowen family before Timothy's protocols came intoplay. This meant that even Timothy had no means to reverse this situation.
Glancing back at Ralph, Timothy retorted, "If you're determined to invite disaster, then | won't stop you."“Timothy, what do you mean? I'm your uncle; how can you speak to me like this?"With no intention of staying any longer, Timothy turned on his heel and left the country club.
Caleb settled into the seat in the car beside Timothy. "I figured your uncle would react like this, but | didn't expect you to confronthim so directly. It's ridiculous that he still refuses to see reason. How much do you reckon he took in bribes from the Bowenfamily?"
“The real issue lies in the plots of land they acquired. The Bowen family had no legitimate claim to them. Hence, they teamed upwith Uncle Ralph, using the Barrett Group as a cover to first secure the land before transferring it back to the Bowens. Becausethe Barrett Group isn't based in Nord City, they could also benefit from various subsidies."
It was clear to Timothy that these two parties were working together closely.novelbin
Yesterday, Timothy had instructed Heath to delve into the details of the partnership with the Bowens, hoping to uncover anyhidden agendas. It only took a brief review to identify the loophole in their plans.
“But what if Mr. Hopkins refuses to cancel the partnership with the Bowen family? It could take a day or two to go through theformal procedures,” Caleb expressed his concerns.
Timothy reassured him, "We won't need to follow all the formalities. I'll personally address the issue and officially terminate thepartnership with the Bowen family during the signing ceremony two days from now. "Sticking to procedures may be time-consuming. But as the CEO of the Barrett Group, my direct objection to the collaboration means that even if a contract is signedlater, no funds will be released."
Timothy focused on company matters as soon as he arrived back at the five-star hotel. He remained engrossed in his work untildinnertime. Rubbing his neck, Timothy turned to Heath and inquired, "How are things at the hospital?"
"Mr. Barrett, according to the hospital updates, Ms. Ginger was discharged shortly after you left," Heath reported."She's already discharged?" Timothy's eyes widened in surprise.
Caleb interjected, "Tim, based on what | saw, Ginger's recovery seems to be going well. Isn't her discharge a positivedevelopment? Nobody wants to stay in the hospital indefinitely.”
However, Timothy couldn't shake off his suspicion that Mia intentionally postponed arranging his visit to Ginger. He found it oddthat Ginger was promptly discharged shortly after his visit to the hospital.
It all appeared too coincidental tohim, deepening his growing unease.Turning to Heath, Tobthy instructed,"Ensure oreone keeps an eye onGinger. Don't overlook any detailsrelated to her." The content is onNovelDrama.Org! Read the latestchapter there!
