Chapter 273 There would be no better timing for a collaboration than now.
Yates Corporation had Jane Smith, the miracle doctor, on their side. Before long, their value would skyrocket, and securing a partnership with them wouldn't be this easy anymore.
Signing this contract was a no-brainer. There was hardly anything to reconsider.
Grayson's sudden shift left Henry stunned. He stared, completely baffled.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"What just happened?" he thought.
But since Grayson had already agreed, Henry wasn't about to question it. He nodded quickly. "Ah, sure. Haha..." He had no idea what caused Grayson's abrupt change in attitude, but as long as the deal went through, that was all that mattered. Relief washed over him. At least this contract would help offset his seven-million-dollar debt.
Grayson, growing impatient, urged, "Where's the contract? Let's sign it now." It was as if he feared someone else might swoop in and steal the opportunity. His arrogant demeanor from earlier was nowhere to be seen.
Henry nodded with a grin. "I already have it ready. Just waiting for your signature, Mr. Quinn." He then reached into his briefcase and pulled out the contract he had prepared in advance.
Coming into this meeting, Henry had only hoped to negotiate, but somehow, he had secured the deal. A thrill of excitement surged through him.
Grayson wasted no time. He signed the contract without hesitation, and as he set the pen down, he looked at Henry with a wide grin.
"I had no idea you were Dr. Smith's father. I completely misjudged you. My apologies for any offense I caused before." Henry froze, and his mind went blank. "What?" Grayson assumed Henry was just being modest and shook his hand enthusiastically. "Your daughter is extraordinary. If there's ever a chance, I'd love for you to introduce us," he said, beaming.
A connection like this was invaluable-one that would bring endless benefits down the line.
Meanwhile, Henry was in complete shock. His daughter? Dr. Smith? Which daughter? Before he could ask, Grayson pulled out his phone, turned up the volume, and played a video from the reality show.
Henry's eyes widened. It was Suzanne, his rebellious daughter! He was shocked to know she was a miracle doctor.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe rubbed his eyes and checked again, but there was no mistake. It was really her.
His body slumped back against the chair, his chest tightening. Anger simmered beneath him. This was a huge deal, and Suzanne had kept it from them all this time.
Grayson, completely oblivious to Henry's inner turmoil, beamed. "Mr. Yates, you've raised an incredible daughter. To have nurtured someone as brilliant as Dr. Smith, it's truly admirable."
Just moments ago, he had looked down on Henry. Now, he was full of praise, even giving him a thumbs-up. And the contract was signed without the slightest hesitation. Henry's rationality slowly returned. Forcing a smile, he replied, "Oh, it's nothing. We just believe in strict discipline at home." Grayson lifted his glass, his tone warm with respect. "Mr. Yates, let's toast to a successful partnership. This meal is on me."
This deal was massive win.
Partnering with Jane's companyn meant boundless opportunities for profit in the future. The thought alone had Grayson grinning from ear to ear. Henry quickly stood, filled his glass to the brim, and clinked it against Grayson's. "You're too kind, Mr. Quinn. It's a win-win collaboration." At that moment, Henry finally understood the weight of Suzanne's name. If only she had told them sooner, none of this mess would have happened.
A mix of emotions swirled within Henry. He had no choice but to push his regrets of mistreating Suzanne aside and down his drink in one gulp.
As the evening continued, Grayson kept steering the conversation backSuzanne, eager to know more. But to barely knew a thing. He had no Henry idea that Suzanne was Jane before today.
