My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 797

Sophia then turned to take out Calvin’s name card and called him.

It wasn’t long before he arrived at the shop.

King’s launch ceremony was around the corner so Sandra had been visiting King every day. Ever since she lost to Scarlett in the competition for that few shops, Lucy had enlightened Sandra, telling her that she fell into Scarlett’s trap.

It turned out that Scarlett had been deliberately enraging Sandra, causing her to act irrationally. Scarlett’s objective was to make the Mitchell Family disappointed in Sandra after her scheme was exposed.

However, Sandra wasn’t the same as Natasha. She had learned her lesson and changed her tactic. This time, she would defeat Scarlett in a face-on battle. She would make Scarlett’s shop go bankrupt and prove her ability to the Mitchell Family!

What did Pourl have now? Their customer base that they had been accumulating from the past had now become King’s customers.

Not only their designers joined King with their completed work, which had become their latest Spring product, even their sales manager brought away all their customer resources.

Half of Pourl’s sales and design department were now under King, so what did they have now?

Burning with ambition, Sandra prepared for the launch ceremony. She wanted to prove her superiority to Scarlett so that Scarlett could taste the bitterness of offending her.

But right at that moment, King suddenly received a summons from the court and it turned out that Pourl had finally prosecuted King!

However, Pourl didn’t prosecute Lucy, the legal body of Pourl. Instead, they prosecuted the few designers and salespeople who left their company and joined King.

After all, when they joined Pourl they had signed a contract with a non-competition clause which stated that upon their resignation, they mustn’t work in the same profession within a year.

Since they one-sidedly broke the agreement, those who left Pourl had violated the agreement.

Therefore, the company had the right to ask for compensation or make them fulfill the non-competition restriction.

When Sandra heard about that, she chuckled codly and completely ignored the situation. “Don’t worry; it’s just a small amount of money. Let them prosecute us and we’ll compensate them no matter how much they ask for.”

In order to show that she cared for those employees that left Pourl and joined King, she not only paid the compensation on their behalf, she even promoted them in a high-profiled manner. In addition, she publicly promised that she would hire everyone who came from Pourl and even promote them. Not only that, she would pay them double and give them twice the staff benefits.

If Pourl sued them, King would pay for them without asking the employees to fork out a penny.

What the ordinary employees ever wanted was to make a living. Therefore, Pourl’s employees had been consecutively resigning due to Sandra’s temptation.

Now, there were only two designers left in the workshop; one was Ivan and the other was his new apprentice.

Ivan’s new apprentice was rather dull since he had just graduated. Every morning when he reached the workshop, he would show Ivan the message from King—which tried to lure him to leave Pourl—that he received the previous night and even joked about it.

He not only picked things up slowly, he was also dim-witted; even Ivan felt sorry for him. Through his actions, Ivan further confirmed that his apprentice was helplessly dumb so he decided to teach all his skills to him. Since he was so dull, Ivan bet that no one else would want this apprentice other than himself.

And so, there were only two people in the design department whereas in the sales department, only a handful remained other than the two employees who were newly hired by Sophia.

“Damn it!”

Sarah threw a pile of resignation letters on the table. “King has taken this too far. They even took away our janitor, Lily.”

Sophia glanced at the letter and sighed inwardly as she thought, Impressive!

Now, even their janitor left. It seemed like King wouldn’t give up without driving her, the owner of a small dog collar shop, into a corner.

Even Cooper was informed about the huge crisis that Sophia’s shop met. As soon as she got home, Cooper walked up to her but before he could speak, she forestalled him. “Dad, let me handle this. I honestly don’t need your help. I’ve grown up so I can’t rely on you in everything.”

Cooper was at a loss for words. Meanwhile, Linus walked out from the kitchen with a dish of scrumptious stir-fried vegetables and reassured, “Don’t worry, Cooper. If Sophia needs your help, she won’t hesitate to ask.”
