Chapter 467


    After Bernard apologized, he easily let go of Eleanor, then sat down seriously and looked back at the


    door.


    “Aidyn.” He said.


    Hearing the cold voice from inside, Aidyn quickly let go of Pearce, turned around, picked up his


    briefcase, and walked into the room.


    Pearce stared at Aidyn’s back, swearing in his heart that he would get back at this guy for all the


    humiliation he suffered today!


    He gritted his teeth and silently swore, then followed inside, only to see Eleanor straightening her


    messy clothes.


    Pearce nced at the wall clock subconsciously, then looked at Bernard with disdain, leaned in close


    to Eleanor’s ear, and whispered,


    “He’s a bit quick; didn’tst long. Maybe you should reconsider. After all, it affects the quality of your


    married life.”


    Eleanor almost choked, “What are you talking about?”


    Pearce wanted to persuade Eleanor more, but suddenly felt a cold gaze staring at his left hand.

    He slowly turned his head, just in time to see a pair of deep eyes staring at his left hand.


    At this moment, Aidyn took out three contracts from his briefcase and ced them one by one on the


    ss table in the living room.


    Pearce took the opportunity to hide his left hand behind his back, and smiled at Bernard,


    “Mr. Laurence, let’s sign the contract first.”


    He then pulled Eleanor to use her as a shield, “Go sign the contract quickly.”


    Eleanor nced at Pearce and sat down across from Bernard. She picked up the contract and was


    taken aback by the amount written on it.


    She looked up at Bernard in disbelief, “One billion?!”


    For just a design drawing, one billion was a bit too exaggerated!


    Pearce heard the amount and screamed, “How much?! One billion?!!!”


    He rushed over, snatched the contract from Eleanor’s hand, flipped to the contract page, and counted


    the zeros with trembling fingers.


    After confirming the amount, he handed it to Eleanor, “Hurry, sign it!”


    Eleanor ignored Pearce and looked at Bernard seriously.


    Did he want to use this method to quickly help her raise her status because she told him they weren’t


    equal?


    Bernard didn’t answer her question, but Aidyn spoke up,


    “The design fee for Lawrence Group Headquarters has always been this amount.”


    Eleanor looked back at Pearce, asking him with her eyes if that was true.


    Pearce couldn’t answer because the designer who helped Lawrence Group Headquarters design had


    already passed away. Who knew how much they got?


    Seeing the two still doubtful, Aidyn spoke again, “The reason we offer such a high amount is


    conditional.”


    Upon hearing there were conditions, Pearce immediately took back the contract from Eleanor and read


    it carefully.


    Besides the penalty for breach of contract, there were no particrly harsh requirements. There was


    only one use-


    “Do you n to use this work to participate in an international architecturepetition?” Pearce asked.


    Pearce was a bit confused as to why the project owner would care about this.


    “Yes, we want to increase our visibility through thepetition, and the profits we’ll gain at that time


    will be far more than one billion.”


    After Aidyn exined, he pointed to the use in the contract and said, “Of course, the copyright still


    belongs to you.”


    Pearce read the contract carefully again and felt that it was reasonable for the copyright to belong to


    the designer.


    He looked at Eleanor and nodded to her, indicating that the contract was fine. Giving so much money


    was just Mr. Laurence’s way of pursuing her.


    The more Pearce thought about it, the happier he became. The new boss’s financial resources were


    really strong. With this project, he could live afortable life for years toe.
