"Hannah, who was sitting in the car at this moment, felt very pleased. She had been planning to take Taking over Katharine's role in signing the contract for the past few dayswas something she had been planning for the past few days, and today she had finally succeeded.
""Katharine, you brought me some convenience in the end. I really appreciate your efforts."" Hannah's was in a good mood was very good. Thanks to her husband Edward's calculations, she had was able to replaced Katharine successfully.
""Congratulations in advance, Mmadam."" Even the driver tried to please her.
""Well, when I become the chairperson, I won't treat you unfairly,"" Hannah happily said happily. In her view,She thought that signing the contract was a sure thing, and after this incident, James wouldn’t's trust in Katharine would reach its lowest pointany longer.
The car soon came to a steady stop at the entrance of Ron Real Estate. Hannah confidently got out of the car, accompanied by two assistants, exuding the aura of a successful person.
""Make sure you carefully review the terms when we sign the contract later."" Since Hannah hadn’t been involved in the contract discussion, wasn't the one discussing the contract, she had to carefully review it during the signing. Otherwise, she wouldn't know the specific details of the contract. If something was she signed it wrong, she would definitely incur scolding from James’s wrath when she returned.
""Understood."" The two assistants nodded simultaneously.
Soon, the three of them entered Ron Real Estate's premises.
After explaining their purpose to the front desk receptionist, Hannah and the others were led into a meeting room.
""Please wait a moment, our CEO will be here soon,"" the receptionist said before leaving.
Hannah and her companions sat patiently in the meeting room.
Soon, Sebastian walked in with a friendly smile. As soon asWhen he entered, he turned to Hannah and said, "You"This must be Katharine!""
Hannah felt a bit embarrassed and explained, ""I'm Katharine's sister, Hannah.""
""Hannah?"" Sebastian furrowed his browsfrowned.
Ruby had personally toldinstructed him that the contract had to be signed by Katharine. With that in mind, Sebastian's face suddenly turned cold. ""I'm sorry, we'll only sign the contract with Katharine. You should go back now. We'll sign the contract when Katharine arrives.""
As When Sebastian finished speaking, he walked away without any hesitation, leaving Hannah and her companions in the meeting room.
""What's going on?"" Hannah was taken aback. However, she quickly realized that Ron Real Estate only recognized Katharine, not their company.
Hannah's anger surged within her. ""What nonsense! I don't even care about signing a contract with them!""
""What should we do now?"" the assistant asked anxiously.
""What else can we do? Let's go back!"" Hannah was still furious. She never expected Katharine to have such influence. , making Ron Real Estate would only acknowledge her for the contract.
""Katharine is incredible! She managed to influence Ron Real Estate. They'll only accept her signature! Can you believe it?"" Hannah vented her anger and returned to the office with her two assistants while contemplating the next move against Katharine.
Back at the company, James immediately approached them to inquire about the situation, looking serious.
""Did you sign the contract?"" James was most concerned about this billion-dollar deal. Everything else had to take a backseat, including finding his second daughter.
""No, they said Katharine herself must be presenthad to be there to sign the contract."" Hannah reluctantly shook her head.
""They insist onwanted Katharine to beeing there in person? GThen go find her immediately."" James became anxious. He initially had planned to sign the contract first and then search for his second daughter, but now it seemed impossible. They had to find her before they could sign the contract.
""Dad, don't worry, Dad. I'll send someone to find her right away."" Hannah pretended to comfort him and hurriedly left. She didn't want to escalate the situation and needed to ensure Katharine was released as soon as possible.
Meanwhile, Michelle was anxiously waitinged at home. Soon, her father Noad hurried back in a state of anxiety.
"Is your mother back, "Michelle, has your mother come back?"" Noad also learned about Katharine's disappearance and rushed back from the company.
""Not yet. I, it's been hours! Shouldn't we call the police?"" Michelle suggested.
""No, let's wait and see what happens!"" Noad frowned. Today was the day Katharine was supposed to sign the contract today. She wouldn't delay such an important matter. SIt's likely that something unexpected had probably happened to her along the way.
The situation here wasis strange. Sometimes, calling the police wouldn’twon't necessarily solve things; it might even make them worse.
""So, should we just keep waiting like this?"" Michelle looked anxious, her face pale.
""Let's wait for a bit. Did anyone call us?"" If it's it was a kidnapping, the other partysomeone should have called demanding ransom.
""No!"" Michelle shook her head.
""That's strange."" Noad looked puzzled. Could she have been gotten in a car accident?
Thinking about it, Noad dared not imagine any further.
The two of them anxiously had anxiously waited at home for over an hour when suddenly Katharine suddenly stumbled into the living room, looking pale.
""Mom, you're back! You scared me."" Michelle rushed over to support Katharine when she saw her appearance.
""Where were have you been for the past few hours? You didn't go to sign the contract?"" Noad also anxiously questioned her.
""I was in my car when someone wearing a mask suddenly smashed my car window with an egg. I was furious and wanted to confront him, but before I could say anything, he sprayed something on my face, and my headI became dizzy. When I woke up, I found myself lying in my car. My head is still spinning."" Katharine had driven back trying to hold herself up. Right now, all she wanted was to sleep and rest well.
""What?! Someone else signed the contract in your place."" Noad anxiously reminded her. From James had called and told him that he had sent Hannah to sign the contract since Katharine's previous call, he had already learned that Katharine couldn't be found, and his father-in-law had already sent Hannah to sign the contract instead.
""What?"" Katharine suddenly woke up. Only then did she remember that today was the day toshe was supposed to sign the contract today. ""Yes, I almost forgot. Today is the day toI need to sign the contract with Ron Real Estate today. I have to hurry!""
As she took a few steps forward, her feet almost slipped. Fortunately, Michelle supported her, but it was clearevident that she wouldn't be able to sign the contract in her current state.
"Y"Just now, your father just called and said that Hannah would sign the contract on your behalf,"" Noad said helplessly.
""Say that again?! Hannah is signing the contract in my place? Who agreed to that?"" Katharine was now consumed with anger. She had worked hard to negotiate the contract with Ron Real Estate, and now, Hannah was going to take the credit.when it was time to pick the fruits, Hannah took them all. P
Michelle couldn't believeswallow this either. After working so hard for days, all she did washad just made make it convenient for her older sister to step in and take over. ""No, I have to confront her. Hannah is being a really bullying people too much!""
""There's no need to go. She can't sign the contract."" William suddenly walked in from the door. He was also relieved wWhen he saw that Michelle's mother had returned, he also breathed a sigh of relief.
""What do you mean, William? What do you mean she can't sign?"" Katharine asked. Noad and Michelle couldn't help but be curious too.
""I had my friend give some instructions to the people at Ron Real Estate. The contract is only valid if you personally sign it personally. Hannah must be furious right now,"" William replied with a faint smile.
""Really?"" Katharine didn't hadn’t expected William to be so resourceful and have everything arranged in advance.
""Yeah, if you don't believe me, you can call Michelle's grandfather now to confirm it,"" William responded with a smile on his lips.
Hearing this, Katharine quickly took the phone and called James. But However, just as the call connected, James scolded her and told her to find the time to sign the contract as soon as possible.
Of course, thisit also confirmed one thing- Hannah had tried to sign the contract on her behalf but was had been rejected by the other party!
""Hannah is really scheming now. She actually wanteds to replace me and sign the contract!"" Katharine sneered. At the same time, she felt relieved. If Hannah had succeeded, she would have worked hard these past few days for nothing. wouldn't she have been busy for nothing these past few days?
However, Katharine started to see William in a different light. He had definitely impressed her.Undoubtedly, she was impressed by him."
