"Harrison is here too?"
The two of them were not getting along at all just a short while ago.
Why are they both interested in coming to the office together today?
An ominous feeling rose in his heart.
"Jasper, put aside your current work, consolidate the data, and hand it to James today. From now on, James will be in charge of this project."
In terms of pure work capability, Harrison still favored James the most.
Harrison saw through Jasper’s ambition clearly.
But business is not child’s play; such an important thing can’t be given to him just for practice.
The ominous feeling became reality, and the smile on Jasper’s face almost couldn’t hold.
How long has the project been in his hands, and now it has to be returned?
Could James be playing him on purpose!
"What’s wrong, is there a problem with the project?" James observed every subtle expression and asked nonchalantly.
"No, everything is going smoothly."
In front of James, even if the project encountered difficulties, Jasper wouldn’t admit it—
James raised an eyebrow, "Then why are you just standing there? Hand over the remaining materials to me."
Given Jasper’s business acumen, that statement wasn’t merely a joke.
Hearing this, Jasper’s face darkened a few shades, and he forced a smile through clenched teeth.
"Ever since you and Dad had a conflict, I’ve had many sleepless nights."
"I didn’t expect you to reconcile so soon, I’m genuinely happy for you! A family should be harmonious!"
"James, don’t get mad at Dad in the future; regardless of any decisions he makes, his ultimate goal is for the good of all of us."
Jasper responded appropriately, giving nothing away.
Only he knew how tightly his fists were clenched beneath the sleeves.
He had thought this time he could finally beat James in a round.
Who would have guessed that before he had time to be happy, the situation would take a 180-degree turn.
However, since things had already been decided, he had no choice but to comply, no matter how unwilling he was.
Watching the project materials on his desk being carried away in piles to James’ office by the staff, Jasper’s face turned more and more sullen.
With Yara Reagan’s comfort and company, Evelyn Clayton’s mood slightly improved.
She threw herself back into the tense and busy work, forcing herself to put James out of mind.
Since James had already gotten engaged to Lynn Yates, there was no point in thinking about it any further.
Instead of getting entangled in all that, it’s better to steadily build her career.
One after another, calls came in from clients canceling orders, all without exception due to Summer Monroe’s coercion and enticement.
Evelyn did not hesitate, agreeing to all refunds, but with the penalties paid accordingly.
Since a contract was signed, it must be followed.
She understood their difficulty in not wanting to offend The Ford Group, but the studio wasn’t a charity.
For three whole days, they were busy meeting with various clients, collecting and processing penalty payments, doing reconciliations, and other trivial matters.
In total, just from penalties, they collected over a million.
As the penalty payments were credited to the account one by one, the studio’s assets visibly increased, with a significant rise.
But Evelyn and Yara couldn’t be happy.
What they needed were clients. The rightful source is N()velFire.net
What’s the use of just getting money? Only with a constant stream of clients can the studio achieve sustainable development.
In the studio, Evelyn and Yara worked tirelessly over the pile of documents on the table, calculating the dizzying amounts in the spreadsheets.
