Chapter 410
Felix's gaze turned cold, and he said expressionlessly, "It seems that Vertex Holdings Group is also planning to pay the triple penalty for you, right?"
The faces of those partners changed; they didn't expect Felix to guess it.
"Mr. Clinton, there's no need to be so explicit. After all, we'll still have to meet in the future," one of the partners said.
James sneered, "You can breach the contract, but don't think the Clinton Group will get along with you in the future."
"Since James has said so, we have nothing to argue about. Let's terminate the contract."
James was furious and was about to curse them further when Felix coldly said, "James, prepare the termination contract."
"Mr. Clinton!"
Felix calmly met James's angry eyes, "Go prepare it."
James took a deep breath, suppressing his anger. "I understand."
"Mr. Clinton, you are indeed straightforward. If there's a chance in the future, I would still choose to cooperate with the Clinton Group."
A trace of coldness flashed in Felix's eyes as he said coldly, "No need, the Clinton Group will never cooperate with you again."
Everyone's faces changed, and someone sneered, "Mr. Clinton, don't be so absolute. You might need our cooperation someday."
Felix didn't even look at them and directly walked into his office.
The leading shareholder stared at Felix's office door and coldly said, "Let's see how long you can stay smug."
In less than two hours, that shareholder paid the penalty and signed the termination contract before leaving.
After handling all the terminations, James knocked and walked into Felix's office. "Mr. Clinton, terminating contracts with these shareholders won't shake the foundation of the Clinton Group, but it's still a significant loss."
Although some partners compensated for the investments already made, the manpower and resources lost by the Clinton Group couldn't be recovered. Many of these clients were developed after the Clinton Group came to Thundertop.
Losing so many clients at once was a considerable loss for the Clinton Group.
Felix's expression was indifferent, showing no emotion. "Thomas became the president of Vertex Holdings Group, and his first move is to take revenge on the Clinton Group. This is just his first step; there will be many more actions to follow."
"If we do nothing, we'll be too passive."
"No need to rush. The more he targets the Clinton Group, the easier it will be to expose the forces behind him."
"Alright."
James didn't agree with Thomas's approach, but having followed Felix for so many years, he knew Felix wouldn't be easily defeated. So, all he could do was choose to trust Felix.
"Go back to work."
"Okay."
The news that many partners came to terminate contracts with the Clinton Group in one day quickly spread in Thundertop's business community.
This caused quite a stir in the business world, and almost everyone was discussing it.
"Did you hear? Over a dozen partners terminated their contracts with the Clinton Group. Is there something wrong internally at the Clinton Group? Otherwise, why would so many partners terminate their contracts simultaneously?"
"I was thinking the same. When the Clinton Group first entered Thundertop, they quickly established a foothold. But recently, we haven't heard much about them."
"Now that you mention it, I bought Clinton Group's stock. Should I sell it quickly? Otherwise, I might get stuck with it!"
When Constance went to get water, she heard the design department discussing this matter and noticeably slowed her steps.
Thinking back to yesterday when he suddenly left while icing her, it must have been to deal with this issue.
For some reason, her heart tightened, and she felt a bit worried about Felix.
Back in her office, Constance hesitated for a while but still called Felix.
As soon as the call connected, Felix's gentle voice came through. "Constance, why are you calling me at this time? Is something wrong?"
Constance bit her lip and said softly, "I heard many partners terminated their contracts with the Clinton Group. Is the Clinton Group okay?"
Hearing the worry in her voice, Felix chuckled, and his gloomy mood lifted. "Are you worried about me?"
"Yes." Realizing she had spoken her mind, Constance quickly said, "I'm not worried about you. I just heard everyone discussing it, so I called to ask."
"If you're not worried, why call to ask about it?"
Thinking quickly, Constance said, "I bought Clinton Group's stock. I'm afraid if something happens to the Clinton Group, my money will be stuck. If there's really a problem, I should sell it early."
"Don't worry, the Clinton Group will be fine."
His deep voice seemed to have a magical effect, calming Constance's worries.
"Okay, then I'm relieved. You better manage the Clinton Group well and don't make me lose money."
Knowing she was lying, Felix's smile deepened, and he said softly, "Yes, I will."
After hanging up, Constance finally relaxed.
No matter what, as long as the Clinton Group was fine.
But she was only worried about those who bought Clinton Group's stock, not Felix!
On the other side, as Felix put down his phone, Timothy looked at him unhappily.
"Constance called to ask about the partners terminating their contracts?" Timothy asked.
Felix smiled and nodded. "I told you, Constance will fall for me again."
Timothy snorted, "Three months aren't up yet, and Constance is a young girl. Her feelings aren't settled. She might like someone today and someone else tomorrow. Mr. Clinton, don't take it to heart."
A trace of coldness flashed in Felix's eyes. If it weren't for the Drake family treating Constance well and Timothy genuinely liking her, he would have dealt with the Drake Group long ago.
"Mr. Drake, let's talk about Vertex Holdings Group."
"What do you plan to do? Vertex Holdings Group hasn't started targeting the Drake Group yet; they're mainly after the Clinton Group. But if the Clinton Group is defeated, Thomas's next target will be the Drake Group."
Felix's expression turned icy, and he said word by word, "Without the forces behind him, he's nothing. Otherwise, he wouldn't have lost the position of Clinton Group president to me three years ago."
Timothy's face also turned serious. "I sent people to investigate the forces behind Thomas, but they found nothing. It seems those people are well-hidden, and finding them won't be easy."
Felix lowered his eyes and said softly, "The people behind him are looking for the key. When Thomas captured my mom and grandma, it was to force them to reveal the key's whereabouts. If I hadn't stopped him in time, they would have gotten the key three years ago."
Hearing the word "key," Timothy's face suddenly changed.
Because the Drake family also had a key!
