Jordan Brooks not only flashed a rare smile in Melanie's presence, but every move he made was deeply respectful, as if treating her like an untouchable VIP.
"Mr. Carter is still tied up in meetings and couldn't break away, otherwise he would have come personally. He asked me to formally apologize on his behalf. I'm incredibly sorry for the poor hospitality and for any offense caused. Please forgive us."
As Jordan offered her a deep, respectful bow, the entire lobby stood utterly paralyzed in shock.
The corner of Melanie's mouth twitched, her smile morphing into something incredibly awkward.
She knew Elias had done this on purpose.
Putting on such a grand production was clearly his way of aggressively backing her up and letting her flex on everyone.
But this over-the-top, deeply solemn apology just felt intensely cringeworthy to her.
Phoebe was completely flabbergasted.
She felt like either the whole world had lost its mind, or she had.
The Carter Group, the undisputed titan of Xavorn's pharmaceutical industry, actually sent someone to publicly apologize to a mid-sized foreign company?
And the Royce Group had literally never even done business with them before.
Phoebe's brain simply couldn't compute it.
Even if they planned to use the Royce Group to replace her institute, there was zero need to lower themselves to this extent!
This was the Carter Group!
This was Elias Carter!
While Phoebe was still frozen in incomprehension and disbelief, Jordan walked right up to her.
"Ms. Thorne, Mr. Carter asked me to inform you that effective immediately, you are no longer a guest of the Carter Group. Furthermore, we are terminating all future partnerships with your company."
In an instant, Phoebe's mind went completely blank, as if she had been bludgeoned over the head.
What had he just said to her?
She was no longer a guest?
The Carter Group was cutting all ties with her company?
Her knees buckled, and she nearly collapsed to the floor.
"No... why? Assistant Brooks, you have to tell me why!"
Seeing her refuse to accept reality and attempt to cling to him, Jordan didn't say another word. He simply shot a look at the men behind him.
