Jack's expression darkened further after he briefed his assistant on how they would help Herbscape Group.
He had easily snapped up the collaboration with Herbscape Group thanks to Lucian, yet now he was paying a hefty price to keep the collaboration and his company's project alive.
Lucian would laugh his head off if he knew about this.
Something niggled at Jack's mind. Why would Lucian pull a stunt like this now? He didn't have to wait this long to punish Herbscape Group for pulling out of their deal. Farwell Group is powerful enough to leak such a scandal way before Herbscape Group signed their deal with us.
Jack failed to think of another reason for what seemed like a belated revenge.
His phone lit up with another call as he frowned over the issue.
Jack glanced at the screen and was surprised when he saw the caller ID. He answered the call immediately. “Ms. Jarvis, why are you calling me at such a late hour?”
Roxanne appeared conflicted as she asked, “Have you seen the news about Herbscape Group, Mr. Damaris?”
Jack replied in the affirmative, “Mr. Lacroix called me about it earlier. I've agreed to help them.”
His response stunned Roxanne.
If she were in Jack's shoes, she would have cut ties with Herbscape Group immediately so that their scandals would not affect the company's future projects.
Plus, if Herbscape Group had a history of unlawful practices, it would be difficult to guarantee that they would not do the same while supplying medicinal herbs in the project.
Any error during the project, intentional or not, could potentially cause massive losses to everyone involved.
Jack seemed to have sense her concerns. He reassured her, “We don't even know if the news on the internet is real or fake. Since we've decided to work with Herbscape Group, we have to believe them. Even if the scandals are true, I'm sure they won't dare to betray us when they remember how I've helped them today.”
