Chapter 283: Chapter 283: Trumped-Up Charges
Jasper Grant didn’t get any good looks and soon left.
Leaving only James Grant alone buried in the shadows, his expression frighteningly gloomy.
——
Inside The Ford Group’s office.
"Did he really terminate the partnership?"
Summer Monroe widened her eyes, staring intensely at the assistant.
The assistant nodded nervously, stammering, "Yes, the partnership has been completely suspended... Director Thornton, what should we do?"
Summer Monroe’s beautiful eyes nearly spewed fire, mixed with resentment and anger, she laughed out of extreme anger.
"Good, good, James Grant really is..." The curse was on the tip of her tongue, but she swallowed it back.
Thinking of James Grant’s handsome and indifferent face, her heart became complicated.
"Go inform our people to concentrate all resources to confront James Grant! I want to see what other cards the proud prince of Atlas Group has up his sleeve!" Summer Monroe hardened her heart and coldly instructed.
As soon as she finished speaking, someone knocked on the office door.
In annoyance, Summer Monroe glanced over, "Who?"
A calm male voice sounded outside, carrying a unique indifference.
"It’s me, Franklin Ford."
Narrowing her eyes slightly, Summer Monroe did not stop the assistant from going forward to open the door.
Franklin Ford walked in slowly, his gaze directly fixed on Summer Monroe’s face.
Summer Monroe remained composed, impatiently raising her eyelids, "Coming over at this time, what’s the matter?"
"I know everything." Franklin Ford’s indifference was more pronounced, a trace of faint mockery flashed through his eyes, "You’ve become hostile with James Grant, have you thought about the consequences?"
Upon hearing this, Summer Monroe didn’t bother to pretend anymore, letting out a light scoff.
"What, you want to help James Grant? Now that you think the Grant Family is powerful, that James Grant is in the limelight, you want to switch sides?"
Franklin Ford sneered, "I remind you, The Ford Group won’t pay for your personal emotions."
But Summer Monroe remained indifferent, not bothering to respond.
Franklin Ford was quite frustrated by her stubbornness, but he still asked patiently.
"Tell me, why did James Grant terminate the partnership, and so aggressively?"
Upon hearing this, a quick flash of guilt crossed Summer Monroe’s eyes, followed by a sneer, "Who knows? He finds me displeasing, arrogant and self-satisfied; wanting to terminate the partnership is quite normal."
This poor excuse, Franklin Ford naturally didn’t believe it,
he remained silent, coldly staring at Summer Monroe.
Summer Monroe forced herself not to show guilt, but then heard the person opposite let out a cold scoff.
"I’ve dealt with James Grant before, although he acts decisively, he’s not a brainless person. When someone is managing billions in assets and projects, you’re still playing with building blocks. How could it be possible he would abruptly terminate cooperation just because of a mere dislike?"
Blatantly exposed, Summer Monroe’s cheeks flushed, her beautiful eyes widened, "How can you be so sure—"
"Then you tell me." Franklin Ford abruptly interrupted Summer Monroe, "Why does he find you displeasing then?"
Summer Monroe was instantly left speechless.
She clenched her molars tightly, glaring fiercely at Franklin Ford for a long time.
After a while, a thought crossed Summer Monroe’s mind, her expression gradually turning into a cold sneer.
She raised her eyebrows, staring at Franklin Ford, questioning him word by word.
"Then why are you questioning me? Franklin Ford, could it be you’re dissatisfied with me being in this position, wanting someone else here?"
Franklin Ford felt a jolt inside, suddenly narrowed his eyebrows, instinctively responding, "What are you talking about?"
But at this moment, Summer Monroe slowly stood up, walked to the office door, and suddenly flung open the door.
Standing outside, several employees were curiously peering in.
Seeing the door open, the employees immediately tried to leave with embarrassed expressions.
However, Summer Monroe suddenly raised her voice, capturing everyone’s attention.
"Director Ford, even false accusations should have limits! You’re falsely accusing me just with empty words, is it dissatisfaction with the current situation, wanting me to step down?"
