Chapter 846 Failure
"Adam didn't give us the most advanced technology," Ronnie suddenly realized, his eyes reddening with anger. "When we signed the contract, we had no way to compare, so we didn't notice."
"It wasn't until Lawrence turned the most advanced technology into a product that we realized we had been played. Lawrence teamed up with Jeremy and actually convinced Adam to screw us over."
Ronnie ground his teeth. He had endured humiliation for thirty years to gain many benefits for the Rodriguez Group, thinking he could also take down Lawrence. But he didn't expect that when Lawrence was down and out; he had completely underestimated Lawrence's cunning.
He was indeed like a venomous snake; as long as he wasn't completely dead, Lawrence would use every means to make a comeback.
Ronnie's lips trembled slightly.
Rock's eyes widened as he asked, "Mr. Peterson, what do we do now? All the public's attention is on the relationship between Jeremy and Adam. I'm afraid our product launch can't go on."
How could it go on?
Ronnie looked dejectedly at the reporters below the stage, who were already buzzing with discussion. This press conference seemed to have turned into a joke for him and Rock! It had become a problem they couldn't explain to their business partners.
The bosses in Trento City and even Veridiania were all smart people. Everyone could see what the situation was now.
Ronnie seemed to age ten years in an instant.
He couldn't stay here any longer!
Ronnie staggered to his feet. When a reporter saw them about to leave, they rushed forward to try to stop him.
Rock signaled to the bodyguards, and it took a lot of effort to escort the three of them out safely. But when they turned around, they saw the presidents of the companies they had signed orders with blocking the entrance, demanding compensation for breach of contract.
"Mr. Peterson, Mr. Harrington, you repeatedly assured us that this was the most advanced technology from NexaCore Group, and that the aerospace materials developed were the most advanced. We signed the orders thinking it was a sure bet."
"Well, last night the Rodriguez Group's product was released first, and their product has already been used on rockets. So what are we supposed to sell now? I signed a $100 million order with the Peterson Group, now you have to compensate me!"
"Mr. Harrington, don't think you can run away. I signed a $2 billion order with the Harrington Group, and now your product isn't developed with the most advanced technology. I'm going to sue you for breach of contract, and according to the contract, you owe me $4 billion!"
Ronnie and Rock's faces turned grim, desperately trying to get the bodyguards to hold back these angry presidents.
These orders weren't even their biggest ones.
"Don't go!"
"Don't you dare leave! Trying to run off with our money, no way!"
"The Peterson Group now claims to be the number one company in Trento City, is this how you play dirty, Ronnie? You only got to your current position by stepping on the Rodriguez Group. I always knew you didn't have the ability to be a big tycoon. Your business acumen is as useless as trash! You're nothing compared to Bob!"
"What did you say?" Ronnie suddenly stopped, his usually composed face twisted with rage. "Who do you think you are? Say it again!"
"I'll say it a million times, you're a piece of trash who only got ahead by riding on Hellen's coattails!" The man was also furious, shouting these things in front of the reporters on purpose. "Your affair with Hellen was known in the Trento City elite circle."
"It was only because Hellen forced a divorce when Bob was seriously ill that you could be with her legitimately. My wife knew that you two were entangled even before the Rodriguez Family fell."
"I heard that the guy next to you, Mars, is the illegitimate son you had with Hellen. Everyone look, Ronnie did all these shameless things to seize the Rodriguez Group's assets!"
"You're talking nonsense. Mars, deal with him!" Ronnie was furious.
Mars quickly led the bodyguards to rush forward.
Rock watched coldly, shaking his head secretly. Ronnie had been hit in his weak spot and forgot that the person shouting was a business partner. At this moment, Ronnie still didn't know how to restrain himself.
Rock quietly slipped through the crowd and left.
Back in the car, the more he thought about it, the more frustrated he became. He smashed everything inside the car and then drove straight to NexaCore Group.
Adam had played him!
He was going to settle this score!
NexaCore Group, Chairman's Office.
When Adam saw Jeremy's press conference, his face turned livid with anger.
He immediately made a phone call, angrily scolding, "Alvin, why did you come out at this time? I let you help Lawrence back then, but I never said NexaCore Group should get involved in this mess. Don't ruin yourself!"
Jeremy was with Lawrence at the time.
The two men were smoking, and Lawrence glanced over apologetically.
Jeremy chuckled lightly, "Adam, calm down. The fact that I'm the president of Summit Holdings would have been found out by Ronnie and Rock sooner or later, even if I didn't reveal it publicly. Since it was bound to be discovered, why not tell everyone in Trento City with the greatest impact?"
"I think you sold me out to help Lawrence!" Adam was furious, but there was nothing he could do about Jeremy. Adam also felt sorry for him.
Jeremy said, "I'm sorry about this, I didn't discuss it with you and caused trouble for NexaCore Group. But, a mere Peterson Group and Harrington Group, does NexaCore Group really need to worry about them?"
"They begged you for cooperation back then, wanting to develop in Trento City with NexaCore Group's help. Now that they're losing money, they deserve it."
Adam's face remained cold, "I never said NexaCore Group was afraid of trouble. I don't need to worry about those two."
"But you don't know the extent of NexaCore Group's global reach, Jeremy. I'm telling you, NexaCore Group is not as simple as the domestic segment you see, and I'm not the only chairman behind NexaCore Group."
"Although I can handle domestic matters fully, there needs to be control. If it gets too big and reaches the ears of the other chairman, it won't look good."
"There's another chairman of NexaCore Group?" Jeremy was surprised.
"It's far from as simple as you think!" Adam's eyes darkened, warning him again. Just as he was about to say more, the secretary walked in with a strange expression, "Mr. King, Rock stormed in angrily outside the company, and he looks hard to deal with!"
Adam slapped his forehead and yelled into the phone, "Jeremy, look at this!"
