Harvey York's Rise to Power

One minute later, Mandy and Hector both sat next to a coffee table in the study.

Hector waved his hand and had his people prepare three copies of the scontract. With a smile, he said, Tve

already prepared the contract, Mandy. Please go through it. If everything's fine, you can put down your

signature. Once it's done, the contract between US will be enforceable, so you should give it a better look."

Mandy perused it before saying, "The contract's fine, but I sense something's off with the payment. Why must

we transfer the titles to your company after you have only paid the 30% deposit? It doesn't fully comply with the NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

market regulations, right? When it comes to properties, the full payment is usually made before the title can be

transferred."

"Ah, that's a small matter," Hector smiled gently as he picked up and sipped a cup of coffee. "This is how it goes,

Mandy. While I'm the scion of the Thompson family, I'm not the patriarch yet. That's why I also need to follow the

rules regarding certain things.

"l also want you to get the money immediately, but I can't do that.

For that, I apologize to you. But that should be fine, right? Once the contract is signed, I will tell my subordinates

to transfer the funds to you immediately. Are you worried you'll never see the rest of the money after I take the

properties?

"Our country is a lawful country. And you're also from one of the top ten families. If I really stole your things, you

could easily take care ofwith just a phone call, right?'After that, even Hector felt it was ludicrous himself.

However, there was something strange about his expression.

After listening to Hector's explanation, the stern expression on Mandy's face relaxed a little. She knew full well

that the Thompson family had the means to buy the 100 properties. Not to mention, the Thompson family would

not ruin their own reputation for something so small.

When those thoughts crossed her mind, Mandy's expression returned to her usual composure.

Even though she felt Hector's conditions were quite harsh, she decided to simply sign the contract after giving it

a second thought. The company needed the funds right now. The faster she signed the contract, the faster she

could get the money. It could also help her resolve a lot of problems.

"Fine, I'll sign. But you need to transfer the money as soon as possible," said Mandy as he held the pen on the

table, preparing to sign the contract.

"You mustn't sign the contract!" At this time, the door leading to the study was pushed open. Mandy's secretary,

Maya, hurried to Mandy's side before swatting the pen from Mandy's hand onto the floor.

"I've just received news from our channels. The funds that Mr.

Hector has right now are only enough to cover the deposit for the 100 properties. If we signed the contract, took

the deposit, and gave him the properties, we'd never know when we'd receive the rest of the payment. Our

company would be forced into a corner, and it wouldn't be long before we go bankrupt."

Just the deposit?

Mandy was somewhat stunned before turning to look at Hector with suspicion. She wanted to hear how Hector

would explain himself.

"You're the secretary, Ms. Maya, right? Don't you know you have to be careful with the statements you make?'

Hector smirked gloomily.
