Chapter 1178

Chapter 1178 Turn Down Livid, Gregory glared at his father and whined aggrievedly, “Mean Daddy! How can you take Mommy away from me? She already promised to sleep with me last night!”

“And why should my wife sleep with you?” Nicholas retorted impassively. “Mean Daddy!” The little guy puffed up his cheeks in anger.

“I swear, Nick, you’re hopeless. Must you be resentful of your own son?” Kieran couldn’t help ribbing as he watched from aside.

“Says the bachelor who still can’t find a girl.” Nicholas jabbed his brother’s raw nerve, defeating the young man for good. Meanwhile, Tessa muffled her chuckles as she watched the three bicker.

On the other hand, Timothy lamented as he watched the heartwarming scene, feeling genuinely grateful that Nicholas and his family held his sister dearly. After breakfast, everyone parted ways.

While Kieran and Nicholas headed to the Sawyer Group, Timothy also went to his company. When Sabrina saw him enter his office, she immediately grabbed the documents and updated him on their work.

After spending half an hour arranging the work, Timothy asked about the new project. “What did they say after I left?”

“They’re still unwilling to negotiate and are insisting on the original rate,” Sabrina described the situation after Timothy left, causing the latter to frown and ponder for a while before deciding, “Since they insist, we’ll call off the deal then.

“Call it off?” The decision stumped Sabrina.

Timothy looked up at her in response, causing her to jolt and nod at once. “Got it. I’ll tell them right away.”

With that, she immediately gave the other party an answer after leaving Timothy’s office. “I’m sorry, but the rate you’ve requested has exceeded our company’s budget, but we hope there’ll be another opportunity for us to collaborate again.”

The person in charge was rendered stumped after hearing Sabrina’s words. Realizing that Reinhart Group had decided to call off the deal, he became anxious. “Are you saying Mr. Reinhart has decided to call off the deal, Miss Gulliver?!”

“More or less,” Sabrina replied honestly while also being well-rounded with her words. “Mr. Reinhart thinks we can’t get anywhere since your company insists on keeping the initial rate and refuses to negotiate. So, we’ve decided to call off the deal. That way, your company can also seek partnership with another company sooner.”

After the call ended, the person in charge looked less than pleasant.

…

Meanwhile, Wanda had just arrived in her office before the phone she left on the desk rang.

Seeing that the caller was none other than the person in charge, Wanda smirked and answered, “Have you gotten the deal, seeing that you’re calling me first thing in the morning?”

“How can I bag the deal when the rate has increased so much?” the person in charge grumbled, causing Wanda to frown.

However, before she could say anything, the person in charge continued, “I said not to raise the rate so much, didn’t I? However, you insist on the figure. Look at it now. What other company should I talk to now that Reinhart Group has called off the deal?!”

Their company needed to upgrade its internal system, and Reinhart Group was currently the best in the country.

Reinhart Group was a rising star with its two co-founders; their programming technology was one of the best, and so was their after-sales service.

Wanda, on the other hand, turned grim after hearing the man’s complaints. Shifting the blame now, are we?

She had merely given a suggestion when she went to him initially. It was he who bit more than he could chew, but who’d have thought he’d throw the blame at her?!

That said, Wanda still smiled and comforted him despite her anger. “So be it, then. I’ll introduce you to an even better tech company later. The best of the best overseas.”
