Chapter 818 - This is only the beginning (2/2)
…
10:17 AM
Mr. Turner is doing final check through the room to make sure he didn't leave anything behind. It's a habit of his.
His phone rang, and he was curious why the manager in charge of external contracts in his company is calling him.
”Yes, Camilla?” Mr. Turner answered and within seconds his expression hardened. ”What? Can you repeat that?”
”Daddy, did something happen?”, Madison's concerned voice pulled him out of his thoughts. He is not sure how long he sat frozen after that phone call.
Camilla told him that Orion Enterprise and four more partners called to inform them that they will take their business elsewhere. Official paperwork for cancellation of contracts will be sent later in the day.
Orion Enterprise is renting some of his space, but the fact that it's securing all of his properties is a big deal. And other four companies are not negligible either.
Why would all of them cancel their contracts at the same time? Is it possible that this is a coincidence? How can it be a coincidence…?
But… just last night he talked to Sophia and she assured him that everything is fine. Why is Orion Enterprise not willing to work with him now? He decided to call Sophia and verify, because this is a mistake, right? It must be a mistake.
He scrolled through the address book on his phone and found Sophia's contact stored as 'CEO Hill' . He froze. CEO Hill… Hill… that woman in the office... Mrs. Hill! How is it possible that he forgot that Sophia's last name is Hill! He remembered that Sophia has two sisters. One is the resort owner, young lady who got married yesterday, and the second one… it must be the girl from the video. The one which got Aiden out of Madison's room… and Mrs. Hill said that the girl in the video is her daughter!
Mr. Turner helplessly looked at Madison as realization hit him: this sudden contract cancelation is the White family telling him that he crossed the line… and this is only the beginning.
He can try to go back and talk with Mrs. White and Mrs. Hill again and beg for forgiveness. But, for what? He is not sure himself what to believe in. And even if he is, will that change anything? Probably not. He disturbed hornet's nest and now he needs to deal with the consequences.
He took a deep breath and checked time. It's only about two hours how he left that office after speaking with Mrs. White and Mrs. Hill… and big chunk of his business is gone. And White corp. still didn't retaliate.
Mr. Turner rubbed his temples while responding to Madison. ”Yes, something happened. Let's hurry home and see if it can be salvaged it somehow… if there is anything to salvage by the time we are back.”
