Chapter 266: Chapter 266: Met Evelyn Clayton
"Actually, I don’t mean anything else. As long as Miss Clayton agrees to my two conditions, I will withdraw the pressure on our partners. How about that?"
Evelyn Clayton didn’t speak, waiting quietly for Summer Monroe to continue.
Perhaps she had gone through too much turmoil recently, Evelyn Clayton exuded a cold aura all over, as if she had grown a lot in just one day.
"First, leave James Grant."
"Second, end the cooperation with Franklin Ford."
Though she wasn’t sure about the current situation between James Grant and Evelyn Clayton, nevertheless, it would be good for her to stay away from James Grant.
As for Lynn Yates, she could be dealt with slowly.
What kind of cooperation Franklin Ford had reached with Evelyn Clayton, Summer Monroe was still unaware, but just because The Ford Group had snatched James Grant’s project, she had to intervene.
Anyone against James Grant was against her, Summer Monroe!
"Ha." Evelyn Clayton curled up her lips, as if she had heard a joke.
She knew that a dog could not spit out ivory.
Calmly, she picked up her teacup and took a sip.
Evelyn Clayton’s tone was flat, yet full of sarcasm.
"Miss Monroe might be taking herself too seriously. Just a few orders, they can’t do much to me. You can force them for a while, but not a lifetime, right?"
As long as the product quality was solid and the price fair and reasonable, there was no need to worry about the market.
Summer Monroe’s face changed.
Evelyn Clayton continued, "If you like James Grant, just go for it yourself. There’s no need to oppose me at every turn. I have nothing to do with him anymore."
"Similarly, my interactions with Franklin Ford are none of your concern."
"The reason I came to visit wasn’t to beg you. I just wanted to ask, Miss Monroe, you’ve been targeting me from the start. What is it you’re so afraid of?"
Evelyn Clayton had no good impression of Summer Monroe, so her words were naturally blunt.
Her sharp eyes fixed tightly on Summer Monroe, every word clear and resonant: "Are you afraid I will discover there was more to my father’s car accident, some hidden secrets? Or something else?"
Summer Monroe’s face visibly worsened.
In Summer Monroe’s eyes, Evelyn Clayton was just a weak flower relying on James Grant for survival.
Without James Grant, she would be easily controlled, how come...
She was actually chilled by Evelyn Clayton’s gaze.
"What are you talking about? I don’t know."
Summer Monroe pretended to stay calm, as if she knew nothing: "Your father’s car accident was just an accident. What hidden secrets could there be? Miss Clayton, stop changing the subject."
"You’re the one changing the subject, aren’t you? Asking my clients to cancel orders, preventing me from interacting with James Grant and Franklin Ford, going through all this trouble, and then claiming you know nothing, who would believe that?"
Evelyn Clayton snorted coldly, placed the teacup heavily back on the table, stood up, and left without looking back.
Leaving behind a meaningful statement: "If you don’t know now, it doesn’t matter, you’ll find out in the future."
Watching Evelyn Clayton’s departing figure, Summer Monroe finally realized late, breaking out in a cold sweat.
Had she found out?
Impossible.
Evelyn Clayton was a mere orphan with no parents, where did she get such courage and ability to uncover the truth of that year?
Whether it was an illusion or not, since Evelyn Clayton fell out with James Grant, the situation seemed to be developing in a direction that no one could control.
After calming her pounding heart, Summer Monroe picked up her phone and dialed Harrison Grant’s number.
"I just met Evelyn Clayton."
