Chapter 407: Contractual Gaps

Chapter 407: Contractual Gaps

Seeing that his subordinate was incapable of giving an answer for half a day, Rafael snatched the contract straight out of the other party's hand and scolded him: -Stupid, don't you even know Spanish?

-I... -the subordinate looked at Rafael and could not really say anything.

Only after Rafael picked up the contract did he replace the words on it:

-No compensation will be claimed.

For a moment, Rafael's whole brain buzzed. How could things have come to this point?

At the moment of signing the contract?

-Mr. Borges, you drew up the contract together. And with your signature on it, we don't need to make any compensation for any issues that arise -Leopoldo watched the other party's reaction with great pleasure.

This was exactly the effect Leopoldo wanted.

-Leopoldo, stop.

Rafael's gaze rested on the man's body and his heart filled with infinite anger. In a way he could see that Leopoldo was here to humiliate him personally.

What compensation? Leopoldo didn't want to pay a penny.

-What did you say? -Leopoldo's gaze fell on the man's body, his eyes full of contempt. He didn't think Rafael could really do anything to surprise him.

When Rafael saw Leopoldo turn away, his heart instantly weakened.

He knew better than anyone what kind of person Leopoldo was. If he really pissed Leopoldo off, Rafael would not have a good time. This was something Rafael knew very well in his heart. The contract was in black and white, and Rafael was really at a disadvantage.

-Mr. Durán, can't you be a little more accommodating? -Rafael said with a few words of pleading as he held the contract in his hand. He had lost so much money that Mrs. Nores would surely not leave him alone.

The rich woman was now thinking of giving him children.

-She's obliging, I'll make it up to you.

Leopoldo's gaze fell on the other party, showing that he was now very accommodating. Money was just money, Leopold had rolled Raphael so much money, compensation was not a loss at all.

A smile instantly appeared on Rafael's face, he knew Leopoldo was not an unreasonable person.

-Señor Durán, how much do you think you can pay?

Rafael now had a look of ingratiation on his face. His eyes rested on Leopoldo's body with new hope.

As long as he had the chance, he would not give up.

-How much do you want? -Leopoldo looked at the other man, and there was a hint of jocularity in his tone. Such a man was really naive, he really believed he would give a good figure.

To say the least, Rafael is still out of his depth.

-Mr. Durán has asked for it, then I don't want it all, fifty percent is fine -Rafael looked at him and said with some difficulty. It was enough to get fifty percent back.

He was more or less aware of Leopoldo's virtues and did not dare ask for more.

-Ten percent.

Leopoldo didn't even think about it and cut off the other party's request. Fifty percent was too high, there was no way he would give Rafael that much. Rafael had done something unseemly and he knew it better than anyone else in his heart.

"Ten percent?" Rafael's face changed.

-Leopoldo, you-

Rafael's gaze was cold and icy as he looked away. He had never seen such a shameless person, especially someone like Leopoldo, who really took advantage of the fire.

This man was very despicable.

-By the looks of Mr. Borges, do you want more?

Rafael looked at the other party, leaving no stone unturned as he poked at the other party's sore. Looking at Rafael's appearance, his whole face turned green.

But, in Leopoldo's opinion, this was only the beginning.

-All right, Mr. Durán.

Rafael knew he had no bargaining power. Leopoldo could give it if he wanted to, and Rafael had no leverage if he did not. Before and after, there was no point of justification. This time, it was Rafael himself who was negligent and careless.

-And you compromise so easily. Is your wife controlling you too much? -Leopoldo looked at the other party and scoffed humorlessly. He knew Rafael had a rich wife.

She was not young, but she is very much in love with Rafael. Whatever happened, Rafael was a young and strong man. Besides that, Rafael was still more or less dignified.

Rafael stared at his opponent, allowing him to humiliate him.

-I will give you the money as promised, but I have to give you some advice.

Leopoldo's eyes rested on the other party's body, as if he was talking down to him.

Rafael sighed, secretly feeling bad.

Nothing could be hidden from Leopoldo, he was an imposing and untouchable man.

-You touched my wife, I won't let you get away with it," Leopoldo's gaze settled on him and he said solemnly. Rafael simply did not know any better and touched something that should not be touched. Doing despicable things and trying to live quietly?

-Mr. Durán, what kind of words are you saying?

Rafael seized the last opportunity and was unwilling to admit that there was such a thing. Leopoldo did not have full proof, so he would not admit it easily.

Leopoldo scoffed as he watched the man play dumb.

-I hope you can continue to play dumb.

Leopoldo glanced the other way and prepared to leave. Rafael didn't have many good days left anyway.

Continuing to pretend was, for him, a necessary hypocrisy.

Leopoldo arrived in style and left without moving. Rafael saw the figure of the other party and his heart was filled with too much trepidation. The fact that things had come to this point was not what he wanted to

see.

This man was too ruthless.

As soon as Rafael came to his senses, Mrs. Nores' call came out of his phone. He looked in Leopoldo's direction and then at the phone in his hand, his heart filled with infinite dissatisfaction.

Most likely the woman knew and had come to ask for help.

-Hello, darling.

Rafael picked up the phone directly, there was no way around it. Especially in this situation, the more he avoided it, the more it would cause misunderstandings on the other end.

-Where are you?" the rich woman looked at the papers on the coffee table, exasperated.

So much money, and all lost by Rafael. Obviously, at first, she had not agreed to take the other side's risk. Now, things had come to a really difficult end.

Now all she wanted was an explanation from Rafael.

-I'm out here, what's wrong?

Rafael's tone was still tinged with a slight seriousness, he knew deep in his heart that his life wouldn't be so good if it wasn't for this woman.

Especially at a time like this, he couldn't roll his eyes.

-"Come back to me now! -The rich woman said indifferently and hung up the phone. Right now, she wasn't in the mood to be listening to the other party talk about trivial things. She needed Rafael to face her and set the record straight.

Rafael felt unusually annoyed when he saw the phone hang up.

At least he got a tenth of it back, otherwise it really would have been the end of everything.

-Mr. Borges, what are you going to do now?

The subordinate looked at Rafael, who was standing in front of him, and scrupulously stepped forward and asked the other party. Things had come to this point without anyone having foreseen it. Rafael looked across and said angrily:

-You're a bunch of scum!
