The Matriarch handed the contract to Elena. Cathy sneered from the side, "Elena, be careful! Don't damage it. I worked hard to get that."
Elena glanced at the contract. It didn't have Sean Maddox's signature, only a company seal.
She didn't know what method Cathy had used, but Elena was the one pulling the strings behind the scenes.
Whether a contract counted or not was up to her.
Besides, she had come prepared.
"Grandma, this contract is fake!" Elena stated bluntly.
Everyone was shocked.
Cathy furiously demanded, "Elena, don't be a sore loser. I signed that contract in person with Aurelis Holdings' project manager, Nancy Vale. It has the official seal. How could it be fake?"
"If I say it's fake, it's fake."
"Hahaha, you're killing me! Elena, who do you think you are? You say it's fake so it's fake? Based on what? If you have guts, show some proof. If you don't have proof, you're just jealous of Cathy!" Nick laughed hysterically.
This deal was ironclad. It was absolutely signed with Aurelis Holdings.
They were extremely confident they could slap Elena in the face with this.
"You want proof? What a coincidence. I also have a contract signed with Aurelis Holdings. Mine is the real one. Yours is fake and invalid!"
Elena finished speaking and pulled out another contract.
Before coming, she had called Sean.
Sean had immediately sent someone to deliver a contract to her, just in case.
Cathy and her family were stunned.
Elena had a contract too?
What was going on?
Grandma took Elena's contract. This document was even more detailed than Cathy's, and it even bore Sean Maddox's signature!
One partnership, yet two contracts appeared.
"Grandma, mine is real. You know me, I wouldn't lie to you. Give me ten times the courage and I still wouldn't dare forge a contract to trick you! Elena is jealous of us; hers is the fake one!" Cathy rushed forward to defend herself.
"Yes, Mom. Cathy put in so much blood, sweat, and tears to get this. It's definitely real. As for Daniel, I really don't know what intentions they have. Can't they stand to see our family succeed? Failing to get the cooperation is one thing, but making up such a ridiculous lie about Sean Maddox signing it? How is that possible!" Edward chimed in to support his daughter.
The Matriarch was still undecided.
"Grandma, I have proof. I know the project manager at Aurelis, Nancy Vale. I can call her right now and ask!"
Cathy immediately dialed Nancy's number.
Nancy picked up. "Cathy, what is it?"
"Miss Vale, it's just... is the contract I signed with Aurelis Holdings valid or invalid?"
Nancy paused, then said, "Of course it's real. Why would I trick you? Have your company send someone over tomorrow to discuss the logistics!"
