Chapter 87: Chapter 87

"Sure!" A deep, steady voice echoed in her ears, causing an involuntary tremor in her heart.

"Mr. Sinclair... what do you mean by this?" Anna was stunned by Elias Sinclair’s response.

"The previous renewal contract wasn’t signed by me personally, so it’s nullified."

The man’s clear eyes glanced at Quinn Lockwood, seemingly eager for her reaction.

Sure enough, he wasn’t disappointed. Although she tried hard to conceal it, he could still see it.

She was extremely delighted!

Then Elias Sinclair waved the contract in front of her, and slowly tore it apart.

His fingers were fair and slender, like a finely crafted piece of art, yet with a hint of coldness.

However, this act, coupled with a subtle, imperceptible, mischievous smile on his lips, made him seem as noble and elegant as a count in the dark night.

Quinn Lockwood, in her excitement, widened her eyes, seemingly realizing that he couldn’t stand her anymore.

"No, Mr. Sinclair, you can’t breach the contract." Anna looked at the scene in disbelief, still unable to believe that Elias Sinclair would break the contract.

"It’s not breaching the contract." Elias Sinclair raised an eyebrow, his expression seemingly a bit playful.

The man in front of her opened a folder and pulled out a few stapled pages, handing them to Anna.

His thin lips parted gently: "This is the reorganized contract, along with the cooperation plan and notes."

He then gave Quinn Lockwood a playful glance, and said to Anna: "The earlier contract is invalid; this one is the official one."

"Haha, Mr. Sinclair, you really scared me just now." Anna quickly calmed her chest, reverting to a flattering tone.

"Come, Mr. Sinclair, this way please. Let’s discuss in the meeting room."

"Hey, wait, Elias, what do you mean? Didn’t you agree to terminate the contract?" The sudden turn of events left Quinn Lockwood in shock. Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on ɴovelfire.net

What’s going on? What is he thinking? Why not terminate the contract!

She quickly hurried after him, but accidentally stepped on her gown, slipping and falling to the ground.

"Ouch!" Quinn Lockwood hurriedly turned to rub her backside.

It hurt! All because of Elias Sinclair.

The assistants hurried to help her up, afraid that Quinn Lockwood might have been hurt.

"Alright, I’m fine, I’m fine. You all go ahead, don’t mind me!" It wasn’t that Quinn Lockwood didn’t appreciate their concern, but she was on the verge of losing her composure!

She lifted her gown and rushed towards the meeting room in the hope of stopping the renewal.

What a ridiculous dress, it’s so annoying, really holding things up.

Panting heavily, she reached the meeting room door, her headpiece slightly disarrayed, yet it didn’t diminish her striking beauty.

But she was a step too late.

As she pushed the door open, what she saw was Anna’s face brimming with an uncontrollable smile.

"Mr. Sinclair, we’re partners now, rest assured, we won’t let you down."

"Mm." Not an extra word, yet it also conveyed no discernible emotion.

He turned his head to the doorway, where Quinn Lockwood was glaring at him angrily, her hair slightly tousled.

He then stood up and said: "I have things to attend to, hope our cooperation will be smooth."

"Explain yourself clearly." Quinn Lockwood blocked Elias Sinclair’s path with one hand.

"Is there anything else you don’t understand?" He raised his eyebrow and looked at Quinn Lockwood, his voice slightly husky.

"Alright, Savannah, stop making a scene, don’t delay Mr. Sinclair’s work." Anna rushed forward to pull her aside, not wanting her to make any more of a fuss.

"I don’t understand what you mean, you stop right there and explain it to me!" Quinn Lockwood forcefully tried to shake off Anna, but unfortunately, this time Anna used all her strength, so her struggle was in vain.

"I never explain my actions to anyone." The man cast a sidelong glance at Quinn Lockwood, his gaze sharp and unyielding, with an overpowering presence.

Quinn Lockwood watched his departing back, feeling increasingly indignant.

He clearly said he hated her, so why sign the contract?

"Savannah, what are you trying to do with all this back and forth?" Anna couldn’t control her emotions anymore.

She angrily said to Quinn Lockwood: "Even though I know you know Mr. Sinclair, I’m telling you, if you dare ruin the cooperation, the company won’t tolerate you anymore!"

"You and the company never considered the artist’s feelings." Quinn Lockwood wasn’t a pushover either. She had endured for a long time. She was fed up with Elias Sinclair’s sarcasm!

"You know nothing, so what qualifies you to dictate to me?" She frowned deeply, but her elegant attire and headpiece gave her a somewhat imposing aura.

"I’ve long wanted to terminate with Sinclair Group, finally waited for the contract to expire, and you messed it up!" Quinn Lockwood was about to burst into tears, barely holding back her emotions.

She sniffled, lifted her gown, and stomped off in anger.

Anna found Quinn Lockwood’s sudden outburst a bit baffling.

But after all, she had been prone to losing her temper before, so she just chalked it up to another one of her tantrums.

Returning to the dressing room, Quinn Lockwood slammed herself into a chair.

"Ouch, it hurts!" Thinking of how Elias Sinclair disrupted her plan to terminate, and how she fell on her backside because of him.

Recalling everything that happened between them, she felt like a clown, being toyed with in the palm of his hand.

Tears welled up in Quinn Lockwood’s eyes.

Indeed, she was crying from anger!

Seeing Quinn Lockwood wiping her tears, her assistant dared not comfort her and rushed to report to Anna.

When Anna heard that Quinn Lockwood was crying, she went over to reassure her, telling her not to be so afraid, saying Mr. Sinclair wouldn’t hold it against her.

Hearing that, the tears she struggled to hold back almost overflowed again!

After comforting Quinn Lockwood, Anna quickly went to inform Elias Sinclair of the situation.

Of course, she said Quinn Lockwood regretted her actions earlier and was afraid Elias Sinclair would be angry, not wanting to affect their cooperation, thus resulting in tears of remorse.

He wouldn’t believe she cried out of regret or fearing his anger.

The man’s expression remained composed and steady, his long fingers constantly tapping the screen, then his thin lips slowly curled into a smile so subtle it was almost indiscernible.

Interesting, she was actually the first woman he’d seen cry from anger at him.

It seemed he had to carefully plan the upcoming cooperation.

However, Quinn Lockwood did not want to cooperate. The more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt.

She rushed out, got into her car, and hit the gas, eager to confront Elias Sinclair.

Since Elias Sinclair was reviewing documents on the road, the driver’s speed wasn’t fast.

Just as they were about to enter the company gates, Quinn Lockwood caught up.

Quinn Lockwood honked a few times, signaling him to stop.
