Henry had apprised Jaylin over the phone of Hannah’s purpose representing the White family. In a stern tone, Jaylin delivered a warning.
“Cooperation or not, if you’ve harmed someone, the police must be involved!”
“Very well, call the police if you wish. I, too, intend to summon them.”
Hannah reclined against the sofa, extending her phone toward Jaylin, playing the recorded evidence.
The profanity-laden tirades of those individuals and Henry reverberated throughout the entire office.
“They harassed and attempted to coerce me into accompanying them to unknown locations. I acted in self-defense. Even at the police station, I shall stand as the advocate of justice.”
Upon hearing the recording and Henry’s words, Jaylin seethed with anger.
He stormed over to Henry, delivering a resounding slap.
“Look at the trouble you’ve caused! This is our workplace, our company! It’s not a venue for you to incite a brawl!”
Henry remained silent, despite the stinging blow, a stark contrast to his earlier arrogance.
Despite Jaylin’s forceful rebuke, he turned towards Hannah with a frigid demeanor, remarking, “Given the current circumstances, cooperation is not necessary.”
He believed that the White Group was enthusiastic about working with them, so he maintained an air of confidence.
Hannah responded with a derisive snort, “I merely wished to aid the Phillips family in navigating these troubled waters on Lydia’s behalf.
It appears you have little need for it. Then I shall take the Callen Tech contract back. Take all the time you need.”

With deliberation, she retrieved the contract from the table, poised to depart. In an abrupt change of tone, Jaylin interjected, “You’re here to discuss cooperation with Callen Tech?”
Hannah pivoted and nodded in Jaylin’s direction, flashing a gentle smile as she responded, “Indeed, but given the apparent insincerity of your Phillips Group, I see no reason to proceed.”
“Wait! Wait!” Jaylin grew anxious, hastening toward Hannah and implored, “We must engage in a meaningful dialogue regarding our collaboration. We cannot let this incident impede our partnership!”

Hannah blinked and offered a smile.
“You just declared that cooperation was unnecessary. Why this sudden change of heart?”
Jaylin found himself in an uncomfortable position.
“This project holds immense significance for our Phillips Group. You mentioned being a friend of my daughter’s. I beseech you to grant us an opportunity to collaborate, for her sake!”
Hannah had never truly intended to depart, her gaze fixed upon Henry, who stood in Jaylin’s shadow.
“It seems your Phillips Group wields considerable power. Even without this collaboration, Phillips Group should thrive in business, correct?”
The irony lacing her words was palpable, yet Jaylin restrained his ire. This project held immense importance for him. He had expended substantial effort chasing it and success had continually eluded him.
