Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 1366

Mia hesitated for a moment before speaking honestly, "I can't deny that I have personal motives. I... I know you don't like Eviette, and I want to... work together with you. Shall we deal with Eviette as a team?"

She was aware that she couldn't handle Eviette alone. But if she joined forces with Veronica, there might be a slight chance of success.

"I do appreciate nature, but when it comes to cooperation..." Veronica, who had been silent for a while, glanced at Mia. "I won't cooperate with you."

"Why?" Mia was puzzled. "Eviette almost killed you, and you're not planning to fight back? Veronica, you're being too cowardly."

She suddenly questioned her perception of Veronica. She had believed that Veronica was fearless, capable, and vengeful. But the situation had changed.

"Being cautious can save lives, and there's nothing wrong with that." Veronica didn't bother to explain further and got up to go to the dressing room.

Reconciling with Mia would be beneficial, but scheming against Eviette with her seemed futile. Mia didn't know the true background of Eviette, so how could Veronica lead her into a dangerous situation?

"Being cautious is one thing, but Eviette is after your ex-husband. Aren't you afraid she'll really take him away?" Mia persisted, doing her best to persuade her.

This time, Veronica ignored her.

Meanwhile, at Metric Technology, it was the eighth day of the New Year. Matthew had just sent Veronica away early in the morning when he received an urgent call from Troy, "Boss, we have a problem. Six companies, including Centreast Group, Beautytech, Winclient Corp, Triumphant Group, and Rich Buildings, have all unilaterally terminated their cooperation with Metric Technology this morning. They claimed that the batch of products delivered had quality issues and had been sent to relevant departments for inspection. The inspection results showed that they did not meet the standards."

"Send me the inspection results." Matthew remained calm. It seemed that everything was going according to his expectations, just a bit later than he had anticipated.

"All the relevant documents have been sent to your email." Troy sighed, then continued, "Among the many companies we cooperate with, these six are the largest. Their simultaneous termination of cooperation not only means the withdrawal of their investments but also a significant breach of contract penalty. The situation is escalating. Although I have instructed the PR department to suppress the news, and we are working hard to resolve the issue, things are progressing too quickly, and the situation is very grim. In the worst-case scenario, it could lead to a disruption in the company's capital chain and paralysis of operations."

Although Troy knew that his boss was being targeted, he didn't expect the other party to launch a full-scale attack after such a long period of silence.

Everything happened too swiftly, and the devastating blow caught them off guard.

"I understand." After ending the call, Matthew rushed to the company and called for an emergency meeting with the senior management.

An hour and a half later, Matthew, who had just concluded the meeting, walked out of the conference room and saw Thomas approaching him, "Boss, Miss Robins from Shepherd Star Group is here."

Matthew, holding a folder in his hand, removed his gold-rimmed glasses and walked directly toward the president's office. Upon entering the office, he saw Eviette sitting in the lounge area.

Today, she was dressed in a white waist-pinching suit, a very professional outfit that made her appear intelligent, generous, gentle, and elegant. Her unique beauty was quite captivating.

However, she failed to catch Matthew's attention. "What brings you here?" Matthew glanced at her indifferently before shifting his gaze. He walked to his desk and began reviewing the documents and files.
