Chapter 2133: Chapter 2142: Then Prove It to Me
"Ms. Lawrence, it’s not that we lack the ability to stop the wedding, but this time Edward Jackson has taken strict precautions. If we make a move at the wedding, it would be a futile effort." The voice on the other end sounded like it was processed by a voice changer, making it impossible to discern gender—mechanical, gloomy, with a hint of mockery that made one uncomfortable to hear.
Skye Lawrence sneered, dismissing his explanation coldly, "The Duke of Habsden has taken precautions, and you’re afraid to make a move. With that kind of attitude, how can you cooperate with me?"
"Ms. Lawrence, haven’t we had a pleasant collaboration before?"
Skye Lawrence interrupted him, "That was before! Our previous cooperation is over; the present is now."
She had been too aggressive before, but now...
She touched her abdomen, which felt like something was missing, and a flash of deep pain crossed her eyes.
"So, Ms. Lawrence, what would it take for you to continue cooperating with us? I greatly admire your skills, Ms. Lawrence. With you, we can achieve twice the result with half the effort. I need you. Similarly, you need me, don’t you? The things you want to do are quite similar to what I want. Cooperation is the most efficient way for us both; it’s a win-win situation."
"You’re wrong." Skye Lawrence’s determined face remained calm, unmoved by his flattery, "Our previous arrangement wasn’t a win-win. You clung to my efforts and enjoyed the fruits of labor from behind."
There was a brief silence on the other side, followed by electronic interference, then he spoke, "So what do you want, Ms. Lawrence, for us to continue a pleasant cooperation? As I said, I greatly value your skills, and I’ve always considered you our best partner. Of course, if you’re truly unwilling, we may have to find a different partner."
Skye Lawrence was not in a good mood, especially with her abdomen cramping painfully since earlier. She really didn’t want to entertain the other’s roundabout way of speaking.
However, the mention of changing partners made her restrain her impatience. She pressed her lips together and said, "If you want to cooperate, prove your strength."
"If you don’t have any real strength, there’s no need for us to cooperate. I don’t make losing deals. Previously, you were all talk and no action; now, I need to assess your capabilities. Without real strength, why should I cooperate with you?"
She couldn’t let these people change partners.
Once they find someone else, the agreement they made to not harm Baron would be nullified.
She couldn’t let Baron get hurt because of Enna Clark!
But she wasn’t in the mood right now and didn’t want to deal with these people any longer.
So, she could only stall!
Find any excuse to keep these people hanging!
"Well? After saying so much, how come you’re silent now when I make a demand?" Skye Lawrence was always imposing in negotiations, and even if the other party wasn’t physically present, her strength came across.
This was Skye Lawrence.
Even after a miscarriage, lying in a hospital bed, she remained undaunted.
The person on the other side seemed to ponder her words, went silent for a moment, then as if making a decision, said, "Okay. Cooperation should indeed bring mutual joy. Since Ms. Lawrence wants proof, I will prove to you that I am your best partner."
