"I didn't mean that, Ned,” Ingrid explained in panic. "I-I didn't know it was this serious for you too!"
"Just don't interfere and ask anything about this! If Fletcher Corporation can make it through safely, I won't pursue any further with Yates Group.” Ned said. "But, if we can't make it through and fail to deliver our promise to Vitality Biotech Group, I won't let any of the Yates go away with this."
Ned was about to start the car when his phone rang suddenly. “Hello?” Ned picked up the phone. It was unclear what the other person said, but Ned’s expression immediately turned scrunched up. "Don't worry. Let me tell them. I'll handle it.”
Ned hung up his phone, then quickly called his assistant, "Darren, contact the Yates family. Let them know they must let Eastern Pharmaceutical in by the afternoon
"Tell them it is my order. Otherwise, we will pursue them for breaching the contract."
Ingrid was worried listening to the conversation. She saw Ned hang up the phone and asked softly, “What's wrong, Ned? Is there anything I can help you with?”
But before Ned could reply, Ingrid's phone rang. It was from Carmen. Ingrid looked at Ned while picking up the phone. "Hello, Aunt Carmen?"
"Ingie, did you tell Ned? Why is Fletcher Corporation telling us to let Eastern Pharmaceutical take over our factory?" Carmen asked in confusion. "They said something about Eastern Pharmaceutical renting our factory or something.
"Don't tell me the Yates family has nothing to do with Vitality Biotech Group's project anymore? How could they do such a thing when your uncle is still in a coma?"
Ned heard Carmen's voice coming from Ingrid'sphone. He snatched the phone ftom Ingrid and said, "Does the Yates family have any & working § capital? All we can do right nowds § quickly make up the loss and deliver the goods to VitalityBiotech Gfoup before the deadlinét Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
"As long as we can keep our promise withVitality, I won't pursue Tommy anc&Yates Group for S breaching the order. But if you try.to stop Eastern Pharmaceutical from entering the factory again and.” causing a delay in delivery tite, I Pursue you for legal vcopenaibiities according to the contract!”
If they didn’t have to inform Vitality Biotech Group to disassemble the machines, Ned could have just told them to disassemble them and moved them to Eastern Pharmaceutical instead.
"Ned! Can't you help the Yates family, considering we're Ingrid's family? We know Tommy messed up this time, but please! Just help us once more!” Carmen pleaded.
"The amount was too big. Plus we don't have much time. I can't do anything about it," Ned replied calmly. "Either let our legal department deal with you, or you let Eastern Pharmaceutical enter right now. You decide, Mrs. Yates.”
Carmen remained silent. But just when Ned was about to hang up from not getting a reply, Carmen said, "Your contract with Vitality Biotech Group stated you must deliver high-quality products to them in a month, or you shall pay sky-high liquidated damage.
“Our contract with Fletcher Corporation also stated the same. We must deliver the product in a month, which we still have the time!"
Ned's forehead creased. "What are you trying to say?”
"Ned, I don't wish to come to this point, considering welll be a family once yousmarry Ingrid," Carmen said. "Please, Chis is the last time, and truly thé“final time. I'm asking you to savethe Yates family. If youinject capital into Yates Group, it’ sa win-win for both of us.
"But if you don't, then we're bath going down! I'll never let Eastern Pharmaceutical enter our factory. In the worst-case scenario, we'll delay the manufacture until the end of the month per the contract.”
"When we broke the contract and filed for bankruptcy, you and Fletcher Corporation would file for bankruptcy, too! I'll let you decide what to do!" Carmen said sternly and hung up the phone.
Anger and disbelief filled Ned's eyes. He never thought after years of helping the Yates family for Ingrid's sake, they turned up to be an ingrate!
