There would be no better timing for a collaboration than now.
Yates Corporation had Jane Smith, the miracle doctor, on their side. Before long, their value would skyrocket, and securing a partnership with them wouldn't be this easy anymore.
Signing this contract was a no-brainer. There was hardly anything to reconsider.
Grayson's sudden shift left Henry stunned. He stared, completely baffled.
"What just happened?" he thought.
But since Grayson had already agreed, Henry wasn't about to question it. He nodded quickly. "Ah, sure. Haha…"
He had no idea what caused Grayson's abrupt change in attitude, but as long as the deal went through, that was all that mattered. Relief washed over him. At least this contract would help offset his seven-million-dollar debt.
Grayson, growing impatient, urged, "Where's the contract? Let's sign it now."
It was as if he feared someone else might swoop in and steal the opportunity. His arrogant demeanor from earlier was nowhere to be seen.
Henry nodded with a grin. "I already have it ready. Just waiting for your signature, Mr. Quinn."
He then reached into his briefcase and pulled out the contract he had prepared in advance.
Coming into this meeting, Henry had only hoped to negotiate, but somehow, he had secured the deal. A thrill of excitement surged through him.
Grayson wasted no time. He signed the contract without hesitation, and as he set the pen down, he looked at Henry with a wide grin.
"I had no idea you were Dr. Smith's father. I completely misjudged you. My apologies for any offense I caused before."
Henry froze, and his mind went blank. "What?"
