Upon hearing Felicia's words, the Fletcher couple also realized what was going on and both looked at Billy.
"I promised Tasha that I would do it!" Billy touched Tasha's little face and asked. "Right, Tasha?"
"Yeah!" Tasha responded loudly. "Daddy said he'll make it happen, and I believe him!"
"Billy, did you get it done?" Fletcher asked in shock.
"Wouldn't surprise me Beatrice called to ask Harleen to sign a contract with the people from Ozin Tower." Billy smiled in response.
The Fletcher family exclaimed in surprise simultaneously.
The phone continued to ring.
"Billy, why don't we let Harleen answer?" Fletcher asked Billy. "If they want her to sign the contract, we can't let them wait too long. What if they get impatient..."
"Mr Knight, don't worry about that. They will wait." Billy said and looked at Harleen.
"Harleen, tell them that you can go sign the contract but only if your grandfather personally comes over to invite you himself."
"What!?" Felicia shouted again. "Brother-in-law! You're so bold! If that old man hears this he'll be furious!"
"Felicia! Watch your mouth!" Fletcher reprimanded her sternly.
"I agree with Billy." Sharon said, standing alongside him. "If Ozin Tower only listens to Harleen, then let the old man come and ask us himself!"
"Is this appropriate, Sharon?" Fletcher asked.
"What's inappropriate about it? Have you forgotten how they treated us last night?" Sharon replied loudly before turning to Harleen. "Also, make sure they prepare the agreement your father signed and the dividends from these past few years ready."
"Right!" Billy laughed and said, "Harleen, take it and do as your mother says."
"But..." Harleen hesitated.
"Don't worry, they'll agree."
"Okay then." Harleen nodded and answered the phone before relaying their demands to Beatrice.
After hearing everything, on the other end of the line, Beatrice was so angry she didn't say a word before hanging up.
"She hung up!" Harleen frowned.
"It's okay, just wait for them to come knocking." Billy shrugged his shoulders.
At Knight Group headquarters, Zeph smashed his teacup on the ground after listening to Beatrice's description.
"Unfilial son, Fletcher!" Zeph roared loudly, his face turning red with anger and his blood pressure skyrocketing. He never thought that he would be threatened, let alone by his own granddaughter.
If Harleen were standing in front of him right now, he would have slapped her without hesitation. But for the sake of the contract with Ozin Tower, it seemed like he had no other choice.
"Father, what do we do now?" Robert was also furious. He took a drag of his cigarette and said, "The people from Ozin Tower are still waiting for us. Shall I send them away first?"
