Don't Say I Didn't Warn You.
The head of the R&D department froze.
He stared at the document in Evelyn Ross's hand, his pupils contracting sharply.
This was the latest development plan for Hydrogen Fuel!
He snatched the project document, his fingers trembling slightly.
The front page was boldly printed with the words "Hydrogen Fuel Technology Breakthrough."
He quickly skimmed the contents, his breathing becoming急促. "You've already made substantial progress?"
Evelyn nodded faintly.
Director Flores excitedly grabbed Thomas Watson's arm. "Mr. Watson, we must collaborate on this project! This is the most cutting-edge technology in the industry right now. So many major companies are fighting for it..."
Thomas cut him off coldly. "Lao Xiang, have you been bribed too?"
Director Flores hurriedly defended himself. "Mr. Watson, I'm thinking of the company!"
"A breach of contract is a breach of contract!" Thomas's tone was firm. "Sherwood Group never shows favoritism. The twenty million penalty must be paid!"
Director Flores was so anxious sweat beaded on his forehead. "Mr. Watson, the value of this plan far exceeds twenty million! If our competitors find out..."
Thomas scoffed disdainfully. "What kind of good plan could a small company possibly have? If they really had this capability, we'd just poach their entire team!"
He was determined to teach Mina Sherwood a lesson today.
His niece was too beautiful. If she would just obediently help him with social engagements in the future, what deal couldn't he close?
Director Flores tried to plead further. "Mr. Watson, this plan is likely Dr. Nan's work. She's the only one who can solve this problem now..."
Thomas refused to believe it. "If NanTech can develop this, why can't Sherwood Group? Lao Xiang, this matter is not up for discussion today!"
He turned to Mina with a smug smile. "Mina, this is just the beginning. If you don't behave, your parents will be next!"
Mina clenched her fists, her nails digging into her palms.
Thomas barked at Director Flores. "Why are you still standing there? Call security and have them thrown out!"
Director Flores looked at the plan in his hand, full of reluctance.
Thomas threatened him. "If you don't do it now, you're fired too!"
Director Flores's face turned pale. "Shouldn't we consult Chairman Sherwood..."
Thomas directly pulled out his phone and called HR. "Process the termination for Mina and Lao Xiang! Legal department, expedite the lawsuit!"
Director Flores's face instantly turned ashen.
Mina stepped forward. "Uncle, you—"
Thomas pinched her chin, his grip so tight it reddened her skin. "In this company, strength talks! If you have no ability, just be a pretty花瓶!"
Evelyn shoved him away and shielded Mina. "Let her go!"
She checked Mina's chin, her eyes turning cold.
She had originally thought Mina was just a simple-minded socialite. She hadn't realized her situation was so difficult.
Even a cooperation handed to them on a silver platter was being obstructed.
Evelyn let out a cold laugh. Supporting Mina, she looked at Thomas. "You don't want the plan? Fine. I'll find another company to合作. Don't say I didn't warn you!"
Thomas laughed arrogantly. "You? Make me regret passing on a project worth hundreds of millions? Dream on!"
Evelyn's gaze was sharp. "Fine. Let's go!"
Any major group would eagerly offer hundreds of millions for this plan.
The subsequent value brought by a breakthrough in Hydrogen Fuel technology simply couldn't be measured in money.
Those in the know understood exactly what this meant.
Director Flores had pleaded repeatedly precisely because he understood its value.
It was a pity Thomas was obstinate and had even fired him.
Director Flores followed the two women out of the office without hesitation.
Meanwhile.
A black sedan pulled up outside the Sherwood Group building.
Chairman Kevin Sherwood personally greeted Marcus Valentine as he stepped out of the car.
This fifty-year-old middle-aged man had a refined demeanor. As the head of one of the Five Great Families, he took the Valentine family's visit very seriously.
The two men walked into the building side by side. The elevator went directly to the top-floor conference room.
