Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne) novel Chapter 363

If someone defaults without a valid reason, there’s always a penalty to pay.

Charlene wouldn’t mind parting ways with Neural Nexus Tech as long as the compensation for breach of contract was settled.

"You!"

Leah was taken aback and almost retorted.

It wasn't just about her not having the authority to decide for Neural Nexus Tech; even if she could, breaking ties with PrimeStar would mean crossing Stewart. Everyone knew that both Vesta’s family and others were keen on maintaining a good relationship with Stewart.

Taking such a rash decision would be akin to making an enemy out of Stewart.

This was clear to Georgina, Katie, and the others.

Seeing Leah left speechless by Charlene’s boldness, Georgina felt a twinge of discomfort.

Even Maureen, who had been watching Charlene, seemed to grow colder.

They hadn’t expected anyone to speak so brazenly.

But Maureen wasn't about to let it get to her. She looked at Charlene with a frosty gaze and said, "You talk a good game, but are you sure your signature holds any legal weight?"

Quincy was shocked to see Charlene going head-to-head with members of the Hawkins and Spencer families.

He worried about things escalating further, so he tried to intervene by gently tugging on Charlene. However, she shrugged him off and stared Maureen down with an even colder look. "Whether my signature holds up legally or not, we can find out. But I'm guessing some people are too afraid to test it."

Charlene was confident.

With Charlene laying it out like that, Vesta was almost certain that if the breach contract were drawn up, Charlene’s signature would indeed hold legal standing.

But actually signing such a contract would mean paying hefty penalties and scrambling to find a new partner, which could severely delay their autonomous vehicle launch. That would be a costly setback.

Charlene, noticing Vesta’s hesitation, added, "So, Mr. Hawkins, are you afraid too? You all questioned PrimeStar’s capability, yet when it comes to drafting a contract, everyone’s suddenly silent. What’s the matter? Do you think your status gives you the right to bully others?"

"It’s a minor issue," Vesta replied coolly. "No need to blow it out of proportion, Ms. Ross."

"Your cousin insults us at will, and your mother supports her despite knowing she’s in the wrong. Now, Mr. Hawkins, you also know your family’s in the wrong but refuse to apologize, instead accusing us of overreacting…"

Charlene looked straight at her and continued, "I’ve often heard Mr. Hawkins is fair and reasonable. But now it seems neither you nor your family are as understanding as people claim."
