Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 2142

Zeke stretched out his hand and was about to take it from him, but Sheldon dashed toward them and yelled out, “Mr. Rhett, please hang on. You mustn't sign this agreement.”

Rhett rolled his eyes at Sheldon and scoffed, “Huh! Why can't I have the right to sign the agreement for my group?”

Sheldon explained hastily, “Mr. Rhett, to be frank with you, I've already signed an agreement with Mitxel Group. It's stated clearly in black and white that it will be a breach of agreement if you sign another agreement with another company.”

Rhett arched his brows and asked, “Where's the so-called agreement you have signed? Let me have a look.”

Sheldon took out the agreement and handed it to Rhett at once.

Nonetheless, the latter tore it into pieces right away without sparing any glance at it.

Sheldon stood rooted to the spot.

Meanwhile, Emma was at a loss for words. Good gracious! This Rhett Mitxel is indeed a senseless and despicable man. How could he tear the agreement into pieces without batting an eyelid!

Rhett uttered indifferently, “Now that the agreement is gone, you have nothing to do with Mitxel Group anymore. Get lost and don't ever show up again.”

Right that instant, Sheldon almost went berserk!

Tampering down his simmering fury, he refuted, “Rhett Mitxel, how could you give no hoots to the spirit of the agreement? Aren't you afraid of being condemned by everyone once it's known to them that you've broken your promise?”

“If you have the audacity to leak it out, I won't let you off!” Rhett hissed with a smirk.

Rhett's ferocious smirk sent an instant chill down Sheldon's spine. Needless to say, he never doubted it was a piece of cake for the former to finish him off at any time.

After all, it was no secret to everyone that Mitxel Group was also involved in the business with the underworld. Thus, he staggered backward instinctively, fearing that Rhett would strike at him at any moment.

On the other hand, Rhett handed the agreement to Zeke again earnestly. “Mr. Williams, please take a look.”

Zeke only handed it to Emma casually. “Emma, help me to take a look then.”

“Huh? Oh! Okay!” Emma regained her composure and took the agreement from him immediately.

After going through it thoroughly, Emma was dumbstruck.

The so-called agreement on the collaborations between both groups tended to sound more like one that benefited Linton Group solely.

It was stated in the agreement that Mitxel Group would be accountable for almost all the responsibilities for a relatively small percentage of the profit gained. Hence, Emma could not help but doubt if they would gain enough profit even to cover the sum invested in the project.

Surprisingly, Linton Group would be gaining most of the profit, although there was nothing much the group needed to do.

In other words, Linton Group would swallow up the profit gained from the project. Is Mitxel Group having something up its sleeves? How's it possible that the group is doing all this just for the sake of Linton Group?

Rhett asked Emma tactfully, “Ms. Jones, what do you think about this agreement?”

Taking a deep breath, Emma pointed out, “Mr. Rhett, allow me to ask a question. Does it mean that Mitxel Group will comply with the segregation of the tasks and profit accordingly as stated in this agreement?”

Rhett nodded at once and reassured her, “Of course, Ms. Jones.”

Zeke asked in bafflement, “Emma, did you sense anything awry from the agreement? Just say it out loud if you spot any.”

Rhett emphasized preemptively, “I swear there's nothing fishy in this agreement!”

Emma tried to appease him. “Mr. Rhett, take it easy. There's nothing amiss about this agreement. But I wish to check with you on your main intention of drafting this agreement. According to the terms and conditions stated, it seems Mitxel Group won't be gaining any profit.”

Rhett replied solemnly, “It's my greatest honor to be able to collaborate with Linton Group. Why bother about how much profit we can gain through this collaboration? As long as Mr. Williams is happy, I can even let Linton Group fully obtain the profit gained.”

Emma's jaw dropped instantaneously. Ah! I don't think he's bluffing! But what makes him willingly let Linton Group gain every single cent of the profit instead? Undoubtedly, he treats Mr. Williams with his utmost reverence!

Zeke broke the silence by urging her, “If there's nothing awry, just sign the agreement.”

Astounded, Emma questioned quizzically, “Mr. Williams, how could I sign this agreement for the group since you're here?”
