Chapter 1374 Let Annie Go Home

Geroge's face became more and more ugly. "As I said, Miss Annie Ross was bewitched by Robert!"

"You are her admirer, and Mr. Ross is her father. Both of you can come up with reasons to justify her

actions. But I am the victim. Why do you ask the victim to find reasons for the perpetrator and prove her

innocence and good intentions?"

"Mrs. Crawford, you are also responsible for Miss Ross's tragedy!" Geroge's tone grew more agitated.

"What responsibility? Before her engagement, didn't you investigate Byron's background? Were you

unaware of my existence?" Athena asked sharply and then said, "Moreover, after breaking off the

engagement, what kind of life Heather wanted to live depended on herself. If you want to assign blame,

it should be Mr. Ross's responsibility. He didn't care about his daughter, which led her down a path of

no return. He is even worse than Robert. At least Robert never gave up on saving Heather until she

lost her usefulness, then he decisively chose to abandon her."

"You!" Eddie's eyes widened.

"Did I say something wrong?" Athena fearlessly looked back at him. "Let me tell you, trying to shift

baseless accusations onto Byron and me is futile. There's no chance of moral coercion here."

After finishing speaking, Athena crossed her arms and leaned back in the chair.

"Don't lose your temper. Just read the contract. If you feel it's inappropriate, just leave. You're not my

only option."

As soon as she said this, the people from the Ross family immediately panicked.

"Mrs. Crawford, this cooperation was agreed upon with us when Mr. Crawford was present. What do

you mean by saying we're not your only option?"

"Yeah, we've already invested a lot of manpower and resources in the early stages!"

After the members of the Ross family finished their hasty remarks, Athena responded calmly, "The

decision to cooperate or not lies with the Ross family, not me."

Eddie's face turned extremely unpleasant.

He looked through the contract with a gloomy face. After reading it, he felt angry.

"Mrs. Crawford, for such a large project, after careful calculation, the profit that will end up in our hands

is less than 10%?"

"For the same profit, many companies more powerful than the Ross family are willing to cooperate with

Imbe Group and Imbe Group Energy," Athena said nonchalantly, "The choice in front of you is to accept

it or not."

"We have already signed a contract. Mrs. Crawford, if you cancel the cooperation indiscriminately, we

can file a breach of contract lawsuit against you according to the content of the contract!" Geroge said

solemnly.

They could never talk Athena into anything.

"Of course, you can." Athena showed indifference. "As long as you can hold onto the compensation

money in the end, that'll be your ability."

Eddie looked gloomy.

The scene of the Anderson family being shorted was still vivid in his memory.

He didn't forget that Chelsea was originally a legendary player in the capital market.

"Mrs. Crawford, my daughter has done something that hurt you and your husband. I deeply apologize

for that, and I am willing to give up profits in the cooperation to sign this contract as compensation,"

Eddie said in a low voice, "However, considering my old age and the lack of useful people under my

command, I also hope you would spare Annie this time and let me take her home."

Hearing this, Athena thought angrily, "Home?

Did Byron go home?

How dare you come to me and ask me to let Annie go home?"
