Chapter 15
"What are you grabbing at?"
"Today, let this criminal see what a hundred-million-dollar contract looks like."
Evelyn snorted coldly.
Roman mocked, "Honey, he used to be the golden boy of the Lockwood family. How could he not have seen a hundred-million-dollar contract?"
"That was before. Can he even come up with a hundred bucks now?"
Roman and Evelyn burst into mocking laughter.
Kane finished reading the contract and let out a cold laugh.
"Give me the contract!"
"Here you go!"
Evelyn reached out to take it.
But Kane threw the contract directly on the ground.
"You jerk!"
Evelyn had to bend down and pick up the contract from the floor herself.
"Almost forgot something—Grandpa is throwing us a celebration party at Golden Crown Hotel. Don't forget to come!"
With that, Roman and Evelyn drove off.
"How can Grandpa bully us like this?"
Isabelle held back her tears, but now they burst out.
"Mom, don't be sad."
Winnie hugged Isabelle's leg, trying to comfort her.
Marilyn said angrily, "Look at your father! He's bullying our whole family! If you were a real man, you'd go get that contract back from him right now!"
"Let's think this through carefully."
Jason was timid by nature and shrank back.
This made Marilyn even angrier.
So Isabelle, Marilyn, and Winnie hugged each other and cried.
"Isabelle, don't be sad. What's yours, no one can take away!"
Kane's eyes narrowed.
Then Kane called Marcus, "The contract for Isabelle was signed by Evelyn. You know what to do, right?"
"Mr. Lockwood, I understand. I'll make sure they pay the price!" Marcus said quickly.
Kane hung up and walked into the villa.
"Isabelle, get changed!"
Kane smiled at Isabelle.
"Get changed for what?"
"To go to Golden Crown Hotel and watch the show!"
"Kane, stop it! The contract's already signed! Can you stop dreaming?"
Isabelle raised her voice, hoping Kane would face reality.
"Isabelle, I guarantee Evelyn will get on her knees and beg you to take the contract!"
After Kane's repeated assurances, Isabelle's family decided to go to Golden Crown Hotel.
Half an hour later, Kane and the others arrived at the Golden Crown Hotel entrance.
Golden Crown Hotel was a five-star hotel.
Very impressive.
"Kane, you said it yourself—if Evelyn doesn't get on her knees and give the contract to Isabelle, you'll get out of our house!" Marilyn said through gritted teeth.
"Don't worry, trust me!"
Kane showed a confident smile.
Although Marilyn was materialistic, he could tell she genuinely cared about Isabelle and Winnie.
Especially last time, when Winnie got bumped by Rocco at the family gathering, she almost got into a fight with them.
Isabelle pulled Kane aside, "Kane, if you admit you lied now, I'll help smooth things over so you can stay in this house."
"Isabelle, don't worry," Kane said.
Isabelle sighed in disappointment.
Kane was beyond help!
Kane and the others entered the Golden Crown Hotel.
Today the Spencer family had reserved five tables at Golden Crown Hotel.
The tables were filled with exquisite dishes and expensive Lafite wine.
Frank had really spent big today!
But compared to a hundred-million-dollar contract, it was nothing!
As soon as Kane and the others appeared, they immediately attracted everyone's attention!
No one expected Isabelle's family to come to the party—weren't they just asking for trouble?
Frank glanced over and said casually, "Since you're here, find somewhere to sit!"
Kane and the others found a place to sit.
"I'm holding this party to reward everyone based on their contributions and assign positions to all family members on this hundred-million-dollar project!"
Before Frank finished speaking, thunderous applause erupted.
"Evelyn! Project Director!"
"Roman! Deputy Project Director!"
"Ethan! Procurement Manager!"
...
Frank then began rewarding everyone and assigning positions to family members.
Evelyn's family got the positions with the most power and opportunities to profit.
Some felt it was unfair, but when they saw Isabelle's family without any positions at all, they felt much better.
"Grandpa, why aren't you giving our family any positions?"
Isabelle protested.
"Isabelle, I'm considering everything. You already have the villa, so there's no need to compete with others," Frank said coldly.
"But the villa was the reward you promised!"
"Besides, without me, there wouldn't even be this contract!"
Isabelle said through gritted teeth.
"You already got The Spencer Villa, what more do you want?"
"If you think it's unfair, let your parents cook at the construction site and let Kane be a security guard!"
Evelyn mocked.
Everyone burst into laughter!
"Today is a happy day, I won't argue with your family!"
Frank snorted coldly and walked away.
"Isabelle, thanks for helping the family get this contract, otherwise I wouldn't have become Project Director!"
Evelyn held a wine glass, speaking words of thanks but full of mockery and showing off.
Then a group of people crowded around, toasting Evelyn's family like stars around the moon.
No choice—if they wanted to work on the project, they had to please Evelyn's family.
In contrast, Isabelle was like a fly, despised by everyone who stayed far away.
Isabelle sat in her seat unwillingly.
Marilyn and Jason were grinding their teeth in anger.
"Don't worry, the show's about to start!"
Kane laughed coldly.
Bang!
Suddenly, the private room door was kicked open, cold wind rushed in, and everyone shivered.
"Who is Evelyn?"
A man in a suit walked in, looking stern and speaking coldly.
Behind him were more than ten armed bodyguards in black!
Everyone was startled.
Ethan frowned and stepped forward, "You are?"
"I'm Herschel Graves, Legal Department Director of Isabelle Group!" the suited man said solemnly.
"Oh, you're from Isabelle Group! We're partners with Isabelle Group. Please sit down and have a drink with us!"
Frank rushed over eagerly, full of respect.
Herschel completely ignored him, "Where's Evelyn?"
Frank quickly waved, "Evelyn, come here! The Legal Department Director of Isabelle Group wants to see you!"
Under everyone's envious gaze, Evelyn quickly came before Herschel.
She was thrilled!
The Legal Department Director of Isabelle Group was a huge figure, and he was looking for her!
"Mr. Graves, hello!"
Evelyn extended her delicate hand, bowing with her cleavage visible.
Herschel didn't even glance at her, saying coldly, "You forged Isabelle's name and signed the contract. The contract has no legal effect!"
"Furthermore, Isabelle Group will sue you for thirty million dollars in damages!"
"This is the lawyer's letter!"
Herschel threw the lawyer's letter hard into Evelyn's face.
Then he and his people quickly left.
The party fell silent—you could hear a pin drop.
Evelyn didn't react at first, then bent down to pick up the lawyer's letter. When she read it, she almost fainted.
Thirty million dollars?
How could she afford that?
As for going to court?
Who would dare fight a lawsuit against Isabelle Group?
