Lucian, however, furrowed his brows tightly upon listening to his best friend's words.
Faced with Lucian's lack of response, Jonathan urged anxiously, “Our project is about to get up to speed, and Herbscape Group is an extremely important piece. If we can't acquire them, we'll have no choice but to back out and wait for the next opportunity.”
That was Jonathan's attempt at questioning Lucian. It was one thing for Queen Group to give up, but Farwell Group had never backed out of anything before.
Given their status in Horington, Farwell Group had always gotten their way regardless of the situation. Plenty of companies clamored to collaborate with them.
Unexpectedly, with a brazenness that came out of nowhere, not only did Herbscape Group dare to bargain with Farwell Group, but they even canceled the contract at the very last stage.
If it was any other company, Lucian would have already taught them a painful lesson.
However, Lucian didn't react at all this time. He seemed to have prepared to accept the loss without any retribution.
Jonathan was frustrated by that thought. “Lucian, what's on your mind? Why don't you put Herbscape Group in their place? What is it that has been worrying you for so long? I heard—”
Before Jonathan could finish, Lucian interrupted, “To have been chosen as the heir of the Damaris family, Jack is certainly no fool. If even you can tell that Herbscape Group is the best candidate, why would he give it up over some short-term profit?”
Jonathan thought there was something not right about Lucian's words.
What does he mean by “even I can tell”? Does he think that I'm inferior to Jack?
