True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 1643

Sinclair continued walking without saying a word.

The receptionist immediately went to stop him.

However, Sinclair's assistant blocked the receptionist's path.

Sinclair went straight into the elevator and to Zachary's office. By then, Zachary had received a call from the front desk and knew that Sinclair was coming.

He had his assistant wait in front of the elevator.

Soon, Sinclair was walking into Zachary's office. They exchanged polite greetings, pretending as if nothing had happened.

Sinclair smiled. "Mr. Lowe, let's not beat around the bush. You know I'm here about Liam's contract."

"Please go ahead, Mr. Stone."

"200 million dollars," Sinclair said. "You might not know about this clause in Liam's contract, but he has to pay a hefty penalty if he breaks the contract. He's made a lot of money from the Theclair Group, so 200 million dollars isn't too much to ask."

Zachary smiled. "200 million dollars is a huge amount. I wouldn't agree to that, Mr. Stone."

"Does that mean you're not willing to pay that much?" Sinclair asked. He had understood Zachary's meaning immediately.

Zachary nodded. "That's right."

"Then I don't think there's any need for us to continue talking," Sinclair replied with a smile.

Zachary nodded again. "Yes, I think we should take this to court. If not, neither of us will be satisfied with the terms."

"Mr. Lowe, Liam leaving Theclair Group is a breach of contract. Therefore, the penalty for breach of contract must be paid. That's only right," Sinclair explained.

"Yes, I don't deny that. However, Theclair Group didn't completely fulfill its contractual obligations either. It's been a year and three months since Liam graduated, but he hasn't booked any jobs since. That's a breach of contract as well, no?"

Sinclair narrowed his eyes as if he was sizing up the situation.

Zachary's tone was calm as he continued, "Well offer 50 million dollars as the termination fee. If you accept our offer, we can reach an agreement quicker. If you don't accept, it'll be 20 million dollars tomorrow."

Sinclair was stunned, and his gaze darkened.

Zachary was still very confident and calm, and he did not seem ruffled at all. It seemed like he had planned it all out long before.

After a while, Sinclair replied, "I don't think I can accept your terms. See you in court."

"Very well. See you there." Zachary nodded.

Sinclair had no choice but to stand up. "Then I'll take my leave."

He walked out quickly.

Meanwhile, Zachary remained as cool as a cucumber.

Sinclair stormed out of Lowe Group angrily.

Later that evening.

Sinclair met Monica at his office. "I asked for 200 million dollars for Liam's breach of contract. However, Zachary insisted on giving us only 50 million dollars. He that if we didn't accept his offer today, it would go down to 20 million dollars tomorrow."

She frowned when she heard that. "That's too little. No, we can't take this lying down."

"Yeah, so it's best if we take this to court," he replied.

"It's hard to estimate how much Cindy's scandals have cost the company. If we go to court over Liam's contract termination, Theclair Group will appear weak," she reminded him.

"If we don't take it to court, then wouldn't our artists think that they'd be able to breach their contract however they liked?" he retorted.

"It's fine if he wants to dissolve the contract. Make him sign a confidentiality agreement not to disclose the amount of the termination fee he paid. With that, the amount is anyone's guess. However, it will all be exposed if we go to court," Monica said.

Sinclair was stunned. "Do you mean that we'll accept the 50 million dollars?"

"50 million dollars is fine. We have the ability to produce more young stars like Liam. There are plenty of aspiring artists out there, so we can get someone new and make it big again. Furthermore, it'll be good press for Theclair Group if Liam becomes famous again elsewhere. I think it's fine to concede this time," she explained.

Sinclair gave Monica's words some thought before he sighed. "But I told him I'd take it to court. Do you want me to back down?"

"You can contact Liam. Just speak to him directly," she suggested.

Sinclair chuckled. "You truly know me very well. You've thought of everything."

Monica smiled. "Are you regretting marrying Suanne now?"
