Chapter 549
"Haley, something happened with the project at Vanguard Corporation." Ariana's voice came through the phone, tinged with weariness.
Haley knew that if Ariana was calling her at this time, it must be something serious.
She replied calmly, "What happened? Tell me in detail."
"Last week, the president of Vanguard Corporation in Watertown was replaced. The new president has a close relationship with the Lumi Group, so Mrs. Lumi from the Lumi Group has become one of the chief chip designers for this project, working together with our company on chip design and programming..."
Haley narrowed her eyes. "The Lumi Group?"
"Yes, the Lumi Group," Ariana said through gritted teeth, "Hollis's name and your name are listed together on the project board. Vanguard Corporation mentioned they will renegotiate the collaboration contract. Haley, Vanguard Corporation is being deceitful. We can demand compensation for breach of contract from them."
Haley smirked, "The Lumi Group is eager to claim a share of the profits. Rather than openly breaking the contract, we can accuse Vanguard Corporation of breaching it. This may result in Star Technical Technology being removed from the project. We've already finished eighty percent of the chip design framework. Being pushed aside at this stage would mean giving away our work to someone else, don't you think?"
"Haley, what do you mean?"
"I'll agree to the collaboration. Let’s sign the contract. I have my own plans for what comes next."
After hanging up the phone, Haley's smile remained, as she looked at Cauth sitting across from her and said softly, "Mr. Lumi, I guess you heard it. We are partners now. I look forward to work with you."
Cauth's expression turned cold.
After meeting with a few children yesterday, he learned about the conflict between Hollis and Haley. Upon investigation, he found out about the Vanguard Corporation incident.
It was a messy situation, and no matter how you looked at it, Hollis was in the wrong.
He hadn't even had the chance to apologize to Haley on behalf of Hollis when he found out about this new incident...
"Miss Deross, I will provide an explanation on behalf of the Lumi family."
After saying this, Cauth left the bridal shop.
Ivan held the woman's waist tightly and asked in a hoarse voice, "Do you need my help?"
Haley shook her head. "I can handle this on my own."
Although the Lumi Group was significant, encountering them in the market didn't necessarily mean being at a disadvantage.
The Lumi’s villa was located in the city center.
It was big and elegantly decorated. It had tranquil atmosphere in the midst of the hustle and bustle.
Hollis was sitting in the yard, sipping tea.
"Ava, you are truly amazing," Ava said proudly, "Haley is just showing off her skills. As long as you, Mom, are in charge, she is nothing."
Hollis chuckled, "I've known Mr. Miller for over a decade. He promised to find a way to kick Haley out of this project. Once she's out, I'll arrange for you to be the project manager. Ava, I'm paving the way for you. I hope you won't disappoint my expectations."
As she finished speaking, a figure approached the gate of the yard.
Cauth spoke coldly, "Hollis, how can you use such despicable means to eliminate a small company? Aren’t you ashamed?"
