Chapter 94 Trouble, Please Sign!
Andy stared at Ryder with a dumbfounded expression and said, "You, a filthy, useless person, can't even have a chance to meet Mr. Morrison face to face. How dare you say he's gone to the mines? Do you know that if he hears this, you're as good as dead?"
Ryder propped his chin with one hand and whispered, "It's possible that I'll be as good as dead. After all, the mines over there have no legal protection!"
Andy also glanced at Sarah.
In his opinion, Arturo had already acted according to his suggestion.
So Sarah must have been violated by Arturo yesterday!
Of course, he didn't know that his words had made Ryder's heart grow colder.
Yesterday at The Pint House, Arturo had come close to achieving his goal.
The mastermind behind it was Andy!
Ryder was just waiting to settle this score.
At this moment, Elena spoke impatiently, "Stop with these topics! What I want to witness now is how this waste will fulfill the betting agreement. After they fail, we'll start our cooperation with the suppliers."
"What about the Johnson family's bid?" Henry chimed in. "The deadline for the bet agreement has arrived. So hurry up and show us your building materials, alright? Weren't you all high and mighty three days ago, boasting that you could get it done?"
He glanced provocatively at Sarah, the woman who had betrayed him years ago. Sarah couldn't help but feel a bit uneasy. But compared to the disappointment she felt in this moment, it hardly mattered anymore.
Three days ago, when Ryder had promised in front of her, she had a tiny glimmer of hope. What if, just what if, it came true? But what followed was a great disappointment.
What had Ryder been doing these past few days? Camping outside the company to play games, going to a hotel to beat up Arturo, and spending nights barhopping with women. This kind of man was never worthy of her. In short, this bet agreement was a complete failure. Sarah had nothing left to say.
Just as she was about to stand up and admit their bid's failure, Andy suddenly spoke up. "Ryder, I'm curious! Aren't you nervous at a time like this? Do you have any idea what I want you to do? I guarantee it'll be unforgettable for the rest of your life!"
Ryder leaned back nonchalantly. "What does it matter if I know or not? I'm not going to lose anyway!"
"Hahaha!" Everyone burst into laughter.
"I've seen fools, but I've never seen one this foolish. This is hilarious!"
"Do you think we're blind? Can't you see the situation clearly?"
"You better admit your defeat. We're still waiting for the bidding results between the Johnson family and the Windsor Group!"
Ryder paid no attention to their comments.
At this moment, Sarah was already so embarrassed that she wanted to disappear. How could she act so impulsively and choose him as her husband?
As for Sarah's parents, they had long since slumped into their chairs, only thinking about the end of the meeting.
Even if it meant a deadlock, they wanted Ryder and Sarah divorced. They just wanted this useless man to leave them forever.
After mocking for a while, Andy's eyes gleamed with mischief. "Alright! I admire your confidence. Since you're so sure of winning, why don't we add another clause to the bet agreement?"
"Tell me more," Ryder said with interest.
Andy's eyes twinkled as he smiled. "It's simple. If you lose this bet agreement, tomorrow night you have to run a lap naked in the Houston Steel Factory. Do you dare?"
Hearing this, everyone present gasped in shock.
The Houston Steel Factory, located on the outskirts of the West City, had been abandoned after a major fire twenty years ago. It was now a desolate place, rumored to be haunted. No one would go there at night.
Dare to go over there?
Sending Ryder to run naked at night?
Even if he doesn't get scared to death, this behavior will definitely make a big name in Houston!
Anyone with discerning eyes can see that Andy proposed this additional agreement just to humiliate and play with Ryder!
Even if Ryder is a fool, he won't agree to such an additional clause!
But what they never expected was...
Ryder nodded decisively. "This additional clause is quite interesting. It must be added! By the way, if I win, will you and Henry also do this?"
Andy was momentarily stunned.
He never expected Ryder would actually agree when he casually mentioned the idea.
What an idiot!
He nodded quickly. "Of course! After all, it's written in the clause!"
Henry also said it was no problem, as this agreement would definitely ensure their victory!
As long as they could see Ryder suffer, adding another additional clause didn't matter!
Therefore, the lawyers present quickly drafted the agreement.
Print, stamp, and sign!
Sarah couldn't stand it anymore and said to Ryder in the most disappointed tone, "Ryder, you are really crazy! I regret knowing you!"
Sarah finally gave up.
She just wanted to resolve the matter as soon as possible.
She stood up and spoke to everyone, "Actually, our company's situation is just as you all see it now. Unfortunately, regarding this betting agreement, our company did not..."
She couldn't finish her sentence.
Suddenly, there was a knocking sound at the meeting room door.
"Who is it?" Andy shouted impatiently.
Being interrupted at such a crucial moment, isn't this a mood spoiler?
The meeting room door was pushed open.
Five or six people walked in!
The leader was a middle-aged man with extraordinary demeanor.
It was none other than David, the president of Houston Bank.
David's presence surprised everyone in the room!
Why would such an influential figure come here?
How many businesses in Houston don't need commercial loans?
Who has the final say in commercial loans?
It's David!
The Johnson family, the Windsor Group, and those supplier representatives, all stood up and greeted David to please him!
David just nodded lightly.
"Sorry to interrupt your meeting. I want to ask, which one of you is Sarah?"
Abigail pointed to the seat where Sarah was sitting. "It's her! Has this damn woman defaulted on the bank loan? Trash like her should be harshly punished!"
Everyone was excited for the drama!
But David ignored Abigail's words completely.
He walked straight to Sarah and gently placed a stack of documents on the table.
With a calm expression on his face, he spoke, "Miss Sarah, this is a loan extension agreement provided by our bank. We understand the temporary difficulties your company is facing, and we are willing to offer an extension for repayment. Please take a look."
With a smile, he said, "Please sign your name on the Smith Group's asset transfer agreement!'"
