Betrayed by the Father Reborn in His Rival's Arms novel Chapter 403

Lily was a little scared and quickly confessed.

"Terrence, Penelope and I are really close. Penelope was the one who told me. She even told me to buy some York stock in advance, saying it was guaranteed to skyrocket."

Lily only mentioned a few foreign trade orders.

But Terrence was a seasoned veteran. He instantly realized that the York family's highly confidential order had been leaked.

Hearing Lily's explanation, Terrence's anger subsided slightly. "You haven't told anyone else, have you?"

Lily immediately promised, "Absolutely not!"

Lily knew all too well that this was classified information. If it got out, the consequences would be catastrophic.

The reason the Yorks needed to secure a partner in advance was to formulate the perfect pricing strategy for the bidding—one that maximized profits for all three parties while overpowering other competitors.

They couldn't allow rival bidders to find any vulnerabilities to attack the Yorks.

This was a premeditated, rigged bid that still required flawless pricing, which was exactly why the Yorks had approached Quentin Prescott.

Quentin could provide a satisfactory proposal that slashed transportation and equipment procurement costs.

If this leaked, it would be no different from exposing their shady dealings, inviting reports from furious rivals.

That was why Terrence's aura had suddenly turned so dangerous.

But once Lily revealed she hadn't done it on purpose.

And that the person who leaked it to her was his precious granddaughter, Terrence naturally had no reason to keep blaming her.

Instead, he told a servant to fetch Tristan York.

Because Tristan was the one in charge of this project.

Tristan came into the room.

The moment he opened the door and saw Lily and Alastair Whitman, Tristan's face immediately showed undisguised contempt.
