Chapter 673
Cauth stood in the office, his gaze falling on Hollis and Ava.
For so many years, Cauth had always given in and never fought back, which made others think he was a coward.
But now he couldn't be timid anymore because he owed Haley too much, and he had to slowly repay it all.
"Hollis, let me ask you, what is this compensation contract all about?" Cauth asked as he threw the contract directly at Hollis.
Hollis was so angry.
She had banked on Haley being in trouble and unable to handle business disputes, so she conspired with Craig on this plan.
Moreover, the Winston family cared about their reputation, and she was sure Haley wouldn't dare to make a big deal out of it.
Unexpectedly, that little bitch Haley not only came to the Lumi Group to cause trouble, but she also wanted to hold a press conference.
There was no problem fooling people with this compensation contract, but once it went public, both the Lumi Group and Vanguard Corporation who agreed to help with the fraud would be implicated.
"The chip does have some issues, but it's not as serious as the contract states," Hollis conceded. "I can negotiate with Craig to cancel the compensation, but Haley can't make this public to the media."
Cauth pressed on, "You designed this to use the compensation as project profit under Ava's name, so Ava could naturally become the heir of the Lumi Group, right?"
Hollis opened her mouth but couldn't say a single word.
All these years, Cauth had always taken a step back in everything, and she always thought he had a good temper and was easy to fool.
But in this matter, Cauth showed unprecedented assertiveness, leaving her completely at a loss for how to explain her actions.
Bark let out a cold laugh, his aged eyes sweeping over Hollis and Ava with disappointment.
He had really thought Ava was capable, but it turned out to be a scam.
Hollis had caused such a mess just for the heir position.
"This matter ends here; there's nothing more to ask," Bark said, standing up with his cane. "Cauth, give Haley a call and tell her not to be unreasonable."
Cauth sneered, "I think Hollis and Ava should call Haley and apologize first."
"I'm not apologizing to her!" Ava shouted angrily. "My back still hurts; she should be the one apologizing to me!"
Cauth was truly disappointed.
He shook his head, didn't say anything more, and turned to leave.
Bryan glanced at the others in the conference room and followed Cauth out.
At this moment, more and more reporters were gathering at the entrance of Star Technical Company.
Two hours ago, Haley had claimed she was going to announce something big, and more than half of the city's reporters rushed over to get the scoop on this piece of important news first.
As soon as Haley's car stopped at the entrance of the company, countless reporters swarmed around her.
"Mrs. Winston, what big news are you going to announce?"
"Mrs. Winston, is this related to your divorce?"
"Everyone, please quiet down," Haley said, picking up a microphone. "What I'm going to announce has nothing to do with the divorce. Reporters who are not interested can leave first."
The hottest news now was the divorce of the Winston Group couple, and the fact that it had nothing to do with the divorce indeed disappointed many reporters.
However, Haley's name carried its own weight, and whatever she announced was bound to be significant.
