His firm response stunned me for a moment and I fumbled my words. “You... you know, then why do you want to cooperate with him?"
Theo smirked. There was a slyness in his eyes when he looked at me. "Matthew wants to unite them to deal with me. But what if I unite with them first."
I did not understand what he was saying. What was the point of doing this?
With pursed lips, I followed Theo while waiting for him to continue.
"I signed a project agreement with President Olson just now. He has been wanting to expand his company for the past few years, but he had no one to take the lead. So, I signed with him. He’s not stupid. He knows Grant Corporation’s power will definitely help him develop successfully so he definitely will agree. And since you were present at the banquet yesterday, he had obviously panicked just now, so the plan will be approved very soon."
"But aren't you worried that Matthew will find out if you do this?"
Theo shook his head and pointed to the two documents on the table. "One of them is the project contract while the other is a non-disclosure agreement. If Matthew finds out about this, Seaway Group will pay Grant Corporation 30 times in liquidated damages for the breach of contract. So, I don't think he would do that."
Chase was addicted to money as his life depended on it. Although his family owned a large business, he was very stingy. He was a famous miser within the business field. Based on this, he definitely would not tell Matthew.
"But even if he doesn't say it, Matthew will know about the project once it starts."
"The sponsor me and President Olson signed with is not Grant Corporation, but Heft Technology." Theo narrowed his eyes, looking confident.
Another company appeared. I sighed. "Heft Technology?"
"It's a new company I started a few years ago, but I handed it over to Caroline's son to take care of it. No one knows that I'm the actual chairman."
