Chapter 491 The Game (29) Cecilia's Great Victory
In the spacious and luxurious office, only Cecilia and Dominic were present.
Dominic said, "Is it okay now?"
Cecilia glanced at Dominic and said bluntly, "Let's talk about the price."
She didn't want to waste time with Dominic.
"$3.8 billion," Dominic stated directly.
He didn't want to beat around the bush with Cecilia either.
It was clear that he could no longer deceive her; whatever he did, she seemed to see through it. It was better to lay everything out plainly.
"Two billion dollars," Cecilia countered.
Dominic's face changed instantly.
Already suppressing his anger, hearing Cecilia's offer made him almost lose his mind.
He forced himself to control his emotions and said through gritted teeth, "Cecilia, if you push too far, we can go down together. At the very least, you wouldn't dare offend Bill."
Cecilia sneered.
So Dominic was using Bill as a shield.
"Who says that?" Cecilia retorted.
Dominic felt a pang in his chest.
"The reason I want to be the executive planner for your e-commerce project is to make Bill realize that this project can't do without me. If I voluntarily withdraw from this project, the one who suffers is the Tackett Group. Who do you think he cares about more, me or you? Let me put it this way, Dominic, the e-commerce platform project isn't something only you can do; I can do it too. Pearl E-commerce Platform may be small now, but in a pinch, do you think Mr. Tackett would choose to abandon me or give me time to build Pearl E-commerce Platform?" Cecilia's indifferent words were full of sarcasm.
Dominic clenched his fists, his face dark.
Cecilia's involvement stemmed from a dual motivation: securing the project and its benefits, and proving to Bill that the Yakurosean Empire's e-commerce project couldn't succeed without her. Had she anticipated that he might not give her the e-commerce platform, so she had prepared everything flawlessly?
Cecilia, the woman he had always underestimated, had made him lose completely.
He glared at Cecilia, suppressing his frustration.
Cecilia looked calm and composed.
Pushing Dominic to this point naturally made her feel good.
Thinking about everything he had done to her in the past, she even felt that killing him wouldn't be too much.
She waited for a while, then said impatiently, "Go back and think it over. If you really can't accept it, we'll go through legal procedures to collect the debt."
"Fine!" Dominic agreed immediately.
Cecilia glanced at Dominic again.
She was a bit surprised; he was more tolerant than she had thought.
She used to think Dominic was arrogant and never admitted defeat.
Cecilia remained expressionless.
A man like Dominic, who lived only for profit, could do anything, even commit murder.
"Then let's sign the contract," Cecilia said, taking out a prepared contract and handing it to Dominic.
Dominic took it harshly.
The $2 billion figure on the contract made his face blanch.
So Cecilia had known he would agree.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have prepared all the contract details in advance.
During this time, she had always been in control!
The more Dominic thought about it, the angrier he got.
However, he had no choice.
Dominic called Penelope to come in.
Penelope had calmed down a bit but still had red eyes.
She probably never thought she would be so aggrieved one day.
She returned to Dominic's side.
Since Penelope was now the legal representative of the Kingsley Group, all contracts had to be signed by her.
"Sign it," Dominic said coldly.
Penelope gritted her teeth and habitually glanced at the contract.
Seeing the two billion dollars figure, her eyes widened.
She looked at Dominic in disbelief.
"Sign it!" Dominic's face was extremely grim.
Already in a bad mood, he was even more annoyed by Penelope's questioning.
Penelope gritted her teeth and signed her name, then took out the Kingsley Group's seal and stamped it.
Cecilia took the contract and signed her name, letting Rose stamp it.
The contract was in four copies.
Cecilia gave Dominic two copies and said, "It's a $2 billion transaction, just follow the company process."
Dominic gritted his teeth and said nothing.
With such a significant loss, he was so angry that he couldn't utter a single word.
A project worth $4 billion, and he handed it over to Cecilia for just $2 billion.
Although the $2 billion did come from the Lockhart Group, they had spent a lot of effort and even made the Monroe family contribute $1 billion, which was a total loss.
Dominic left angrily.
Penelope followed Dominic out of the Lockhart Group.
Outside the building, Penelope couldn't help but scream, "Dominic, if Dad finds out we sold our e-commerce platform at such a low price, he'll be furious!"
Dominic looked at Penelope coldly, "If we didn't sell it at such a low price, the Kingsley Group wouldn't survive. I don't want to talk about this anymore. Just pretend the e-commerce project never existed! Now, keep an eye on the other projects in the company."
"I know, but Dominic, with you and Dad not in the company, I'm alone..." Penelope said.
"I have more important things to do!" Dominic interrupted.
"Okay." Penelope held back. "As long as you can get rid of Cecilia, I'll do anything."
Dominic's face remained grim.
Mentioning Cecilia made his face even darker.
He didn't stay any longer and got into his car.
As he drove away, he made a phone call.
Everyone thought he had been defeated by Cecilia, that he had given up!
In fact, Dominic sneered coldly.
How could he be defeated so easily?
He still had Lyra, who would be his only chance to turn the tables.
He had just received a message from her during the negotiation with Cecilia.
Lyra said she was pregnant.
It was really lucky!
When he first slept with Lyra, he deliberately didn't use protection.
Finally, this unexpected turn had come.
This time, he would make Cecilia beg him! He would repay all the humiliation he had suffered from Cecilia!
The call connected.
Dominic said, "Lyra, are you really pregnant?"
"Aren't you happy?" Lyra asked.
"No, I want to see you right away."
"But my dad..." Lyra hesitated.
"Even if he kills me, I'll come. Wait for me!" Dominic said resolutely.
Lyra was clearly moved.
She said, "Okay, I'll wait for you."
Dominic hung up the phone with a vicious smile.
He would make Cecilia regret it!
