Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica) novel Chapter 292

Marina had been bargaining with Vivian ever since she sat down.

She didn't seem to realize that she had no choice.

Jason was one day late to meet the deadline, and the compensation was about to cover the price difference.

Vivian listened to Marina's gabble with a smile.

Then, she said slowly, "Mrs. White, I'm sorry. The price can't be lower. If you don't want this batch of goods now, other real estate developers may want them since they have just called me. The price they offered is five percent higher than the price I gave you."

When Jason heard this, he was afraid that the developer would bypass him and arrange for people to work. Then he could not get paid for the work he had done and even pay the developer a sum of money. That would kill him.

He glared at Marina.

Marina didn't care what he wanted. It was him who should hold the biggest responsibility for the incident.

He had hardly made the right decisions.

Marina just wanted to save a penny more, if possible.

Besides, if this matter were to spread, it would embarrass her.

After all, she had been bragging to those rich wives at the mahjong table about how good Oliver had been to the White family.

Now her family was doing business in Birmingham. If they knew her husband was cheated, then the big words she had said before became evidence that could slap her in the face.

Vivian's phone suddenly rang. An email came in.

She turned it on and saw that someone had offered to raise the price by ten percent to buy this batch of high-end German imported appliances.

Vivian placed the phone directly in front of Jason and Marina. "Mr. And Mrs. White, to be honest, there are more than two buyers who want this batch of electrical appliances. Someone is raising the price again, who may be your competitor. Now they want to steal your business, and they're willing to take over the decoration project at the cost of no profits."

Jason's face turned livid when he saw the mail.

"Miss Vivian, can you give us at the previous price?" Jason asked.

Vivian looked reluctant. "I need to discuss it with the boss. I asked you to sign the contract first, while you insist on a face-to-face meeting. Time doesn't wait for anyone."

Jason couldn't sit still at all. He couldn't imagine how much the price would sore if someone inquired later.

Most importantly, if he lost the project, it would be difficult for him to get the decoration project of high-end buildings in the future.

Once his reputation was lost, he was completely over.

"Miss Vivian, it's settled now. I agree to ten percent more."

Jason agreed to Vivian's new price immediately.

Marina couldn't persuade him even if she wanted to.

Jason immediately transferred a large deposit to Vivian and insisted on going to the warehouse with her to ship the goods out directly.

No matter what he asked, Vivian agreed.

After all, the batch of goods was already 40 % higher than the normal price.

Jason was distressed about the loss, but he had no choice in the urgency.

Marina stood up angrily and inadvertently glanced at Jane in the seat beside them.

She took two steps, then stopped and looked back.

Jane greeted her with a warm smile.

But the smile, in Marina's eyes, was a little creepy.

Because she looked too similar to the dead Jessica.

She doubted if she was cursed by Jessica for what had happened to her.

Ever since Jessica died, Marina would feel afraid when she occasionally got up to the bathroom at midnight.
