“Wait, you’re taking on the Lopez Corporation?” Dorothy’s delicate brows furrowed. “Lane, you don’tstand a chance.”
“Am I supposed to just let them walk all over me?” Lane was fuming.
Because of his pursuit of Dorothy, Jeffrey must have spilled the beans to Everett. There had been nosign of trouble, making Lane believe that Everett had accepted it.
But this counterattack, the abrupt acquisition of East Star Enterprises, was too sudden! It was likebeing thrown a bone, only to be shooed away like a beggar!
Lane had never faced such an insult in his life!
“Lane, you can’t beat the Lopez Corporation,” Dorothy said, not out of favoritism for Everett, butbecause it was the cold, hard truth.
East Star Enterprises might have been substantial, but everything is relative.
If Everett set his sights on taking down East Star Enterprises, it wouldn’t matter if the whole domesticindustry declared. a boycott against the Lopez Corporation unless he had a change of heart. After all,the Lopez Corporation would merely lose the local market by doing that.
Besides, in the world of business, how many companies would cut ties with a giant like the LopezCorporation just to take a stand for someone else?
“Dorothy, he’s doing this because of you!”
“I know.” By now, if Dorothy couldn’t see Everett’s intentions, she’d be a fool
What worried her was the possibility that Everett knew about Langston and was acting out of thatknowledge.
Years of knowing Everett had given her insight into his temperament and character he was always thegentleman, logical, considering all angles before making a decision.
This aggressive move to crush East Star Enterprises overnight didn’t seem like his style.
So, Dorothy suspected that Everett had gotten wind of something and was trying to force her into hisorbit.
Could it be he was looking for an opportunity to compare her DNA with Langston’s?
“Dorothy, are you even listening?” Lane had been talking non–stop, and Dorothy hadn’t heard a word.
Snapping back to reality she quickly said, “Lane, something’s come up. Let’s talk tomorrow.”
After hanging up, Dorothy immediately dialed the HR department of the Lopez Corporation.
“Hello, this is Dorothy. I received a call earlier about reporting to the Lopez Corporation. I’m sorry, but Ican’t make it.” “Ms. Sanchez, you’re under contract with East Star Enterprises.”
She was painfully aware of that. “Then I resign.”
“Alright.” The person on the other end didn’t give Dorothy a hard time. “Here’s the situation. I checkedyour contract, and it clearly states that if you’re promoted to director, you need to apply for resignationhalf a year in advance to HR, or it’s considered a breach of contract. You agreed and signed this! If yousubmit your resignation now, you can process your departure in six months.”
Dorothy felt a headache coming on. She had to wait half a year to resign!
She hadn’t anticipated this at all! Things had changed so quickly, who could have expected East StarEnterprises to be swallowed up by the Lopez Corporation overnight?
“What if I have to breach the contract? It’s really inconvenient for me to take a position at the LopezCorporation.” “Then, Ms. Sanchez, you need to think carefully. Looking at the penalties for breach ofcontract, you’re not only liable for the breach fee, but also for any losses incurred on your projects.You’ll be responsible for those too.”
Dorothy was silent.
“Your current project includes the development of Everglow City Resort. If you back out now, you’ll beon the hook for any and all financial risks. Are you sure you want to breach the contract?”
