Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 966

"What's the number that you have in mind?" Steven wailed in his heart and was prepared to be slaughtered.

"How about a five percent increase?" Nina said the price that she and Bianca had discussed.

They were businesswomen. They could not afford to be soft-hearted when faced with men like him. They also wanted to teach him a lesson.

Steven felt his heart ache. A five percent increase would mean that the planned budget would burst. He wanted to try his luck and said, "Ms. Langdon, isn’t five percent a little too much?"

"It is, but if you were seeking cooperation with T Corporation, their asking price will be more than this." Nina smiled, showing no sympathy for him.

Steven gritted his teeth. He knew that she mentioned T Corporation on purpose.

Nina added, "What's more, leaving aside the partnership, if you go to court, you have to compensate and lose much more than that."

When Steven left Shandra’s law firm last night, she had mentioned that if he went to court, he was doomed to lose. Due to the other party's identity and status, the amount he had to compensate would be about the same as the price Nina was currently proposing.

If he compromised, he could still get something out of it and his reputation would not be damaged. After weighing his options, Steven agreed to their request. "Okay, let’s go with a five percent increase."

Bianca asked the front desk assistant to come in.

The assistant opened the door and walked in.

Bianca told her, "Print two copies of the contract with St. Heckler. The price needs to be revised, please increase the original price by five percent."

"Okay, please give me a moment." The assistant nodded and made the necessary changes. After a while, she printed the contracts and sent them to the reception room.

When Bianca took them, the paper was still hot. She put the two contracts on the solid wood coffee table and said, "Steven, have a read. If there are no concerns, let's sign the contract today."

Steven glanced at the price and did his best to keep his cool. It was a big loss and he would need to figure out how to explain it at work. He had always exploited others but for the first time, he was exploited by two women.

Steven, who originally looked down on women, now deeply regretted it.

He took a closer look at the terms of the contract, confirmed that they were the same, and signed his name on the last page of the document.

Bianca also signed her name. She handed one of the copies to the assistant and said, "Put it on my desk."

"Okay, Ms. Rayne." The assistant took it and walked out.

Steven's heart was bleeding. Seeing that he had things sorted, he confirmed with her again. "Ms. Rayne, the lawyer's letter..."

"You can keep the lawyer's letter. I’ll inform Mr. Walter to stop pursuing the case. You can rest assured." Seeing that they were done, Bianca stood up and wanted to shoo him off. "Steven, thank you for choosing us. We’ll make sure that you’ll be satisfied with the end result."

"Happy to do business with you, I won’t take any more of your time. Good day." Steven was crying and mourning in his heart, but he had to put on a smile and leave the office with the contract in his hand.

After Steven left, Bianca returned to her office, took out her phone, and sent Luke a message to update him on the matter. She also asked him to contact Walter Long.

Nina opened the door and walked in while praising Bianca. "As usual, I’m impressed. Our financial reports will look great."

Bianca looked at Luke's brief reply and guessed that he was busy. She put the phone away and looked at her friend. "This contract has always belonged to our company."
