Rebirth of the Deadly Beauty novel Chapter 56

"What did you just say?" Diana and Yvonne exclaimed in unison.

How could that be possible?

Both of them knew exactly what Yolanda was capable of, and there was no way she could have secured the contract with Doxcon Group.

Yvonne, in particular, sprang from her seat and hurried over to Harold, straining to read the details of the contract. Even Harold, who had confirmed the contract was legitimate, found it hard to believe.

"There's no doubt about it. This contract is legitimate," he said solemnly. Then, he looked at Yolanda and demanded, "Be honest. How'd you manage to secure this contract?"

Yolanda looked at him impassively and explained, "I took the proposal you left in the living room and went to see the general manager of Doxcon Group. He found our company's idea innovative, so he changed his mind."

Anyone with any work experience at all would find her story dubious. However, that was beside the point. All she needed was a plausible excuse. Whether Harold bought it or not was out of her hands.

Even if Harold were to ask Blake…

Blake would never admit to being blackmailed by her over the kickbacks, so he'd have no choice but to go along with her story.

Harold fell silent after hearing that. He had a feeling there was more to the story, yet Yolanda clearly had no intention of elaborating, so there was no point in pressing her further. Perhaps because everything felt unreal, Harold couldn't feel a shred of joy despite securing the project.

"Dad, are you sure you've checked it thoroughly? Maybe it's so well-forged that you missed it!" Yvonne pressed, still unwilling to let it go.

"Do you really think I can't distinguish between a legitimate contract and a forged one?" Harold snapped.

He had been irritated to begin with, and Yvonne's relentless doubts about the contract were draining what little patience he had left.
