Chapter 22
was where they would meet the people from the Bellamy Group
after arriving at the gate of the manor, they parked the cars aside.
Everyone got out of the car and walked into the manor.
Besides Collen, Gracia also brought more than twenty bodyguards and her a**istant. And they looked mighty.
“Bellamy Group often dominates the market. They may have no good intentions of taking the initiative to ask us to come here. We will all rely on you when we’re facing them. Mr. Smith”
Colden said with a smile. “You can rest a**ured. Ms. Moreno. With me here, they wouldn’t be able to do anything to us, no matter how many people they have.”
The smug look on Colden’s face was hard to disguise,
He had been famous in Newden City for many years, and his reputation had even spread throughout the country, so he didn’t care about those ruffians.
Hearing what Colden said, Gracia suddenly felt confident.
As soon as they stepped into the gate, some bodyguards who were chatting noticed them.
A tall and thin young man with tattoos shouted, “Are you from Santos Group?”
Gracia nodded. “Yes. We’re here to see Mr. Bellamy.”
The young man nodded and looked at Gracia back and forth unscrupulously. He then said. “Mr. Bellamy is waiting for you
inside.”
After saying that, he yelled to the inside again.
“The people from Santos Group are here.”
The next moment, there were more than 20 vicious people came out from all directions.
Gracia was a girl, but she was quite courageous at the moment.
She just ignored these people directly and strode inside.
In the manor, there was a gazebo.
And on the gazebo, there were two cane chairs and a coffee table with a pot of brewed coffee on it.
A fat middle–aged man was smoking a cigar and drinking coffee.
A tall woman in a dress next to him was pouring him another cup of coffee carefully.
On the 150–foot–long path leading to the gazebo, more than 30 bodyguards in suits and leather shoes stood.
Their hands were crossed on the belly, and their muscular bodies showed a solemn murderous look.
The cane chair opposite the fat man was empty. It was obviously prepared for Gracia who came to negotiate. Gracia showed up on the path with her people.
Even though she was well–informed, she couldn’t help frowning slightly after seeing such a scene.
And the expressions of the bodyguards behind Gracia also became rattled.
They just saw this kind of scene in movies.
Leonard squinted his eyes, thinking that Bellamy Group was quite good at making scenes.
However, Colden was still calm and relaxed.
“Here you are, Ms. Moreno. Take a seat.”
The fat man smiled slightly, and the fat on his face was even shaking.
Since she was here, Gracia couldn’t lose her momentum. She took a deep breath, walked to the cane chair, and sat down. Colden and Leonard stood behind her on both sides. Colden
“Ms. Moreno, you should be clear about my purpose of meeting you here this time.”
“Bellamy Group wants to undertake the project of the south commercial street,” the fat man said straightforwardly
Gracia said with a smile, “Mr. Bellamy, the quotation of your group was too high during the bidding, so we chose another
my and signed the contract with them Maybe we can cooperate the next time. You can’t let our Santos Group breach contract. If we break the contract, we have to pay high liquidated damages. What’s more, honesty is the foundation of businessmen.
Ansel raised his eyebrows and said. “Ms Moreno, I thought you came here today with sincerity. If you are still going to talk like this, there would be no need for us to talk.
“It’s just that if you don’t give this project to Bellamy Group, you won’t be able to build the commercial street even the year aher next.
“Have you ever counted how much money you will lose due to the two–year delay? I think you are a clever woman”
Ansel spoke while pouring the brewed coffee into the coffee cup. His posture was relaxed as if he controlled the overall
situation
“Do you think our Santos Group is easy to bully, Mr. Bellamy?”
Gracia was a little angry
“Ms. Moreno, don’t be angry. Santos Group is indeed a big group, but Bellamy Group is not easy to mess with. I have prepared a contract here. You can take a look at it and give us the construction project of the land in the south of the city. That would do good for both of us”
Tve told you that the project has already been contracted out, and I can’t give it to Bellamy Group So, there is no need for me to read this contract, Gracia immediately refused.
“Don’t be so stubborn, Ms. Moreno, If you don’t sign the contract, you will not be able to leave here today!”
Ansel smiled contemptuously and tapped on the table.
