Chapter 1390 Need More Discussion
Kendrick thought that the entrance of the research center wasn''t a ce to talk, so he invited Chloe to
the cafe instead. They would also discuss ns there.
Chloe shared the same sentiment, so she agreed with Kendrick''s suggestion.
"Mr. Hofstead, were you serious when you talked about giving up the two percentage points?"
Chloe held the coffee cup in her hands and hesitated for a long while before slowly articting the
question in her mind.
Anyone would suspect a sudden great offer like this. Chloe had to figure out the truth behind this. If
anything wrong happened, the entire research center would be at stake.
She couldn''t afford to bet on that.
When Chloe thought about this, she couldn''t help gritting her teeth.
Nicole wasn''t around today, so she had to face Kendrick alone.
"Don''t worry about this, Miss Yelton. I''ll ask the legal department to draft a new contractter, and you
can have a look. If there are no problems with it, we''ll sign it right away. If not, we''ll do things ording
to the previous contract."
Kendrick smiled as he exined.
"Since there''s a two-percentage-point raise, what should the research center provide?"
Chloe maintained an absolute stance, and she was wary about the sudden bonus. No one would give
up a percentage point for free, much less two.
She frowned as she looked earnestly at Kendrick. If it had something to do with Nicole, she would
decline the offer no matter what.
Kendrick looked at Chloe''s serious expression, a faint smile on his face. He knew Chloe very well.
"I''ll need a say when ites to all thepanies the research center ns on partnering with in the
future."
Kendrick didn''t withhold any information, and neither did he threaten Chloe with anything. He simply
mentioned the matter calmly.
This condition was something he just thought up moments ago. He had no qualms about offering it to
the research center for free, not until Beryl''s appearance.
Thinking about this, Kendrick frowned slightly without Chloe noticing.
If Nicole''s research center partnered with Colton in the future, everything Kendrick had nned before
would go to waste. No matter what, he had to make sure Chloe promised him.
When Chloe heard that, she knew that Kendrick''s words had proved her guesses right.
However, terms like these were tyrannical to the research center. If they agreed to it, the research
center would be no more than a subsidiary of Hofstead Corporation.
No, she mustn''t agree to that.
Deep down, Chloe immediately declined this partnership. When the research center developed in the
future, Nicole would want to help Colton.
Seeing how at odds Beryl was with Kendrick today…
Kendrick looked up at Chloe. When he saw her pondering, he asked, "What do you think, Miss Yelton?"
He couldn''t keep dragging it out. Now that Colton had found out about what happened here, he would
still have a fair chance of winning if Ryan obeyed him.
However, he didn''t know if Ryan would listen to the man.
Chloe looked at Kendrick, smirking slightly as she declined with a smile. "I''m sorry, Mr. Hofstead, but
this is an important matter for the research center. I think I should go back and discuss this with the
person in charge. I cannot decide by myself," she said.
She had to talk to Nicole about this. It wasn''t a minor issue, and she knew that she couldn''t hidest
night''s incident any longer. She would have to tell Nicole about it sooner orter.
The two looked at each other, neither of them saying anything. It was like a silent battle.

"All right, then, Miss Yelton. I await your response. I still have a meeting to attend, so I''ll be off now."
Sometimeter, Kendrick finally broke the silence. With that, he got up and left without saying more. It
seemed as though he had truly allowed Chloe to do whatever she wanted.
