Chapter 408 Contract Signed
After just one look through the materials, she was already confident she could move forward,
His own R&D team had been stuck at this exact point for nearly a month. They’d even started talking about sccapping a different angle.
But going back to square one meant sinking more money in with no guarantees at the end,
Derek made his decision on the spot. “Then let’s get the contract signed.”
Ethan raised an eyebrow. “Right now?”
Derek smiled, “Why wait? If everything looks good, better to lock it in early and stop guessing
Arabella nodded, “If you’re ready, I am too.”
She was genuinely interested in this project. And she had a feeling someone else was going to be very interested in what came ou
of it.
Derek’s assistant handed over a folder. “Here’s the contract. Take a look whenever you’re ready. If it works for you, we can both sign today. I’ll leave the initial materials with you, and the rest is in your hands.” He paused. “The profit–sharing terms are all in there. Let me know if anything doesn’t work for you.”
Arabella took the contract and read it carefully from start to finish. Then she looked up. “Looks fine to me.”
“Then let’s do it.”
“Alright.”
They signed. Done,
Derek stood and extended his hand. “I’ll be waiting for good news, then.”
Arabella shook it. “You’ll hear from me as soon as there’s movement.”
Derek’s eyes held quiet confidence. “Somehow I don’t think I’ll be waiting long.”
Arabella smiled. “I’ll do my best not to disappoint.”
Derek glanced at Matthew, a knowing look flickering across his face. “Ms. Hamilton really is something else. Mr. Stewart, you’re a fortunate man.”
Arabella’s expression stayed neutral. “I only met Mr. Stewart because I happened to treat Robert a while back. We’ve worked together since then.”
The subtext was clear–her abilities had nothing to do with him.
Derek blinked, then looked at Matthew. “What’s this? Did something happen between you two?”
Matthew’s voice was even. “No.”
Arabella frowned slightly. “Why would you ask that, Mr. Shane?”

The readers' comments on the novel: True Heiress Returns to Her Unemployed Rich Family (Arabella)
I started the novel with great interest. In the beginning the storyline was captivating. Then I feel that the more the story advances, the twists were no longer great. Moreover I don't like Arabella s personality, cold, distant......
