Kingston did not look at Deacon, he just looked at the human resource manager without any expression on his face. "Go on then. Get the company's lawyer to come over and immediately issue a demand letter to Deacon's company. If he is three days late for payment from the deadline we set, we will increase the compensation to twenty million. If he is five days late than the deadline we set, the compensation amount would be increased to forty million. By that extension, if he is a week late, it will be increased to eighty million. If he is another ten days later, the compensation would be increased to one hundred million!"
Speaking of that, Kingston smiled. "I know. You can disagree with me, Mister Cain. We'll simply see you in court then. I think with the Ford Group's power, we won't need too long to fight with a mediocre downstream company like yours. It'll just take three years. I think that if the Ford Group were to spend three years going to court with you, we can forcibly drag you on until you're finished, can't we? To the Ford Group, we would be the party that filed the lawsuit, so it'll be enough for our company to form a special department to deal with your company. Your company, on the other hand, won't need to think about whether you would survive or not in those three years. You can directly let your company die. Our company won't go after a company that has gone
bankrupt, closed down, and died. Don't worry."
Kingston's tone did not seem like he was making a joke at all. He was very serious. This trick was what he had learned from Sebastian. It was called crushing the opposite party in one go, making him never dare to be smug like a clumsy troublemaker again in the future. As expected, after Deacon heard what he said, he immediately cried in fear. Yes, he was a director of a company and was also considered to be someone powerful.
Three hours ago, when he had just entered the Ford Group, he was still so spirited and so quick to show his strength. When he was in front of Eevonne, in particular, he simply was crushing her. Who would have expected that at that moment, Deacon, a grown man, would be crying so hard that his face was covered in tears?
Deacon sobbed and snorted. "Mister Yates, I...I didn't know that Eevonne is your wife. I really didn't know. I didn't mean to offend. If I had known that Eevonne was your wife, how could I possibly treat her like that? I hope that a great man like yourself would forgive the faults of a petty man. Mistakes done in ignorance can be forgiven. I'm begging you, please. Alright?"
Everybody has a common issue. That was if a person was in a desperate plight, the person would try just anything. At that moment, Deacon had already forgotten that Kingston had also questioned Phoebe just a moment earlier. He simply sang the same old tune again.
Eevonne was Eevonne. She has always been herself. Could it be that just because her identity has changed from being a grossroot to the wife of the company's director, all of them would not dare to bully her anymore? He even had the cheek to say that mistakes done in ignorance can be forgiven. Could it be that the grassroots deserved to be bullied by others? Those people actually came to her door to fight with her. She clearly had already worked very hard, amended all of her mistakes, and she clearly was already doing a great job and had already produced results, but she still had to be thoroughly interrogated by others?
"Because you didn't know that Eevonne is my wife, even when Eevonne working in your company was already a matter from ten years ago, even when she had never looked for you and talked about how you used to manipulate her, you still came to the internal part of the company to expose her! Mister Lowe! Did you feel your action is profoundly righteous? Is it your life goal to put a girl, who once contributed to your company, who has now transformed from an ugly duckling into a beautiful swan through ten years of hard work, who finally could stay in this city, back into the deepest ends of hell again? Are you very proud? You're so shameless, arrogant, and smug! You look so ugly that you can just have yourself killed! However, if you want to die, don't die in the Ford Group! It's bad luck for us. Once you've gone out of the Ford Group's entrance, you can die anytime!"
