Chapter 579
Haley's eyes were like two sharp knives, making Ava afraid to meet her gaze.
"It's clear that you all want to suppress me," Haley sneered and said, "You used Mr. Morris to become a partner in this project through the back door, letting me complete the entire project, yet you still want to take away forty percent of the profits. Do you really think I'm easy to bully? If I really wanted to oppress you with power, I would have kicked you out directly instead of giving the Lumi Group twenty percent of the profits."
Ava was so angry, but she was helpless.
This project was a stepping stone for Ava to become the heiress of the Lumi Family. She had to complete it perfectly to impress Bark.
Ava thought, 'If it weren't for that despicable Haley, I would have completed it smoothly long ago, and I wouldn't have to come knocking on the door for cooperation with a disgraced face.'
Ava gritted her teeth as she said, "Haley, you deliberately designed a chip framework that has never been seen before, deliberately making it impossible for other designers to start. You are truly despicable!"
"Before I designed the plan, I didn't know that there were others who wanted a piece of the cake," Haley said lightly, "If I had known that the Lumi Group would become my partner, I would have designed the simplest chip."
The words were not sharp but extremely insulting.
Ava's expression turned even uglier.
Hollis, being a bit older, remained calm and kept her facial expressions in check.
She said calmly, "Ms. DeRoss, you also have a point. Let's revise the agreement according to your proposal."
Haley's smile brightened again, and she said, "Ariana, prepare the contracts."
Ariana stood up and quickly handed over two freshly printed contracts.
Hollis gave Haley a deep look and then signed at the end, and Haley picked up the pen and signed her name.
Hollis said, "Ms. DeRoss, I hope for a pleasant cooperation in the future."
After Hollis and Haley shook hands, they left the Star Technical Company with Ava.
"Mom, that Haley is simply shameless!" Ava stomped her foot in anger and said, "Twenty percent profit means that the Lumi Group won't even get a million a year. Originally, this project could have brought at least fifty million in annual profits to the Lumi Group. If Bark finds out that I messed this up, he definitely won't agree to me being the heir."
"What are you afraid of," Hollis said coldly, "This is a contract we signed privately with Haley. The contract also includes a confidentiality agreement. As long as you keep quiet, Bark won't know about this. Don't worry. As for the annual profits, I will transfer several million from the Lumi Group's public account to you. I will also hire an experienced accountant to keep the books clear for this project."
Only then did Ava breathe a sigh of relief. "After I become the heiress of the Lumi Group, I will settle the score with Haley."
"Enough. She is now a member of the Winston family, and her status is not something you can compare to. Don't stir up trouble for yourself," Hollis said, pinching her brow. "Wait until Haley and Ivan divorce, then you can step on her."
Ava gritted her teeth in anger.
Ivan would only divorce Haley when that little despicable girl got old and her face became no longer beautiful.
Ava would have to wait at least ten more years for that day.
Well, revenge was never too late, even after ten years. She would just wait for it.
"Haley," Ariana couldn't help but whisper, "You are now the lady of the Winston family. As long as you say the word, Vanguard Corporation will definitely not let the Lumi Group continue to participate in this project. They were already in a dubious position."
Haley pursed her lips and said lightly, "It doesn't matter."
Even if she and Ivan were deeply in love, she wouldn't go to Ivan for work matters.
Not to mention, she and Ivan had just gotten married, and for three whole days, they hadn't had any contact at all.
