Chapter 519 Why Would

They Suddenly Back Out

“What’s the matter, Jeffery?” Carol stared at him in shock, a growing unease settling in her chest.

But Jeffery barely registered her voice. “What did you just say?” he demanded, his pulse quickening.

CR Corporation had cut ties with them?

That was impossible.

But his assistant’s next words crushed any lingering hope.

“Mr. Lawson, it’s true! CR Corporation has already made an official announcement across multiple public platforms. On top of that, their representative personally reached out to finalize the contract termination…”

Jeffery felt a sharp pain throb in his head. Pressing his fingers against his temple, he muttered, “This doesn’t

make sense. We just secured this deal. Why would they suddenly back out?”

His voice edged with frustration, his usual composure slipping.

From the hospital bed, Carol’s eyes widened in disbelief. She clutched his sleeve, her grip desperate. “Jeffery! What’s happening? Why would they do this? There has to be a mistake!”

Her panicked voice only aggravated his growing irritation.

For the first time, the sister he had always protected felt unfamiliar to him.

Annoyed, he yanked his arm free and turned away, his tone cold. “Something went wrong. I need every department to investigate immediately. I want to know exactly what happened. I’ll try to reach Mr. Riley

myself.”

His assistant hesitated on the other end, his voice thick with uncertainty. “Mr. Lawson, CR Corporation has already transferred the two–billion penalty fee to our company’s account. And…”

He paused, as if unsure how to continue.

Jeffery’s mind reeled.

Two billion… Already transferred.

That meant there was no room for negotiation.

In normal business dealings, even if complications arose, there was always a chance to renegotiate terms.

But CR Corporation had severed ties without hesitation–without even a conversation.

And they had made it public.

Chapter 519 Why Would They Suddenly Back Out

Lawson Group hadn’t just lost a partnership. They had angered CR Corporation’s founder

“Mr. Lawson? Are you still there?”

Jeffery barely heard him. He staggered toward the wall, leaning against it as he tried to steady his breathing “Go on,” he forced out.

After a brief silence, his assistant finally continued, his tone laced with something between disbelief and unease. “They also wired an additional five million with a note attached. It says, Jeffery’s scare tactics are quite something.“”
