"Well?" Seeing Harold's surprise, Miranda said smugly, "With this contract and the Cavanaughs' backing, the main Henderson family won't be able to use any excuse to push you out of the company!"
In truth, Henderson Group was just a tool for the main Henderson family in Creybia to control their branch families. If Harold could not handle being president, plenty of other Henderson relatives would gladly take his place.
"I understand what this contract means for me, but I still can't agree to what you're asking." Harold barely glanced at the contract before pushing it back.
Seeing the rejected contract, Daphne could not hold back either. She said, "Harold, don't push your luck! Don't you get it? The Cavanaughs could crush you like an ant.
"Do you seriously think being a member of the Henderson family protects you from us? The main Henderson family in Creybia won't even lift a finger if we move against you guys in Riverdale!"
Miranda fixed Harold with an intense stare. "Are you sure you want to make an enemy of the Cavanaughs?"
"I'm not trying to be your enemy, but don't ask the impossible." Harold sighed. "I can't meet your demands. Ask me a hundred times, but the answer won't change."
"Is that your final answer?" Miranda suppressed her anger. "I can give you more time to think. If you keep being stubborn, I'll take this opportunity to Zoey from the main Henderson family.
"Surely you know Zoey wants reform. Since she wants to be the first female head of the Henderson family, she needs chances like this! Out of respect for your past service, I'll let you choose again!"
Harold lowered his head. His expression was unreadable. But a moment later, he raised his head with an unwavering gaze. "There's no need for me to choose again. Give the contract to whoever you want; it's nothing to me!"
