    Chapter 1345 An Unexpected Twist


    Finley inwardly cursed Eugene for posing a question he already knew the answer to. Hasn''t hee


    across the viral interview video featuring Nathan?


    However, his frustration was carefully hidden beneath aposed facade.


    After two rounds of confrontation, Finley did not intend to harbor any further intentions of opposing


    Eugene.


    To him, Eugene''s behavior was nothing short of unreasonable.


    As such, he shifted his gaze to Ace and urged, "Ace, you should be well aware of this. Speak up."


    Ace thought Eugene had finally let him off the hook, yet here he was being dragged back into the


    conversation again.


    He couldn''t reveal the truth either—it would be odd if he did. After all, Eugene wouldn''t spare him if he


    spoke up.


    That being said, remaining silent under Eugene''s prating gaze was not an option. After some


    hesitation, he muttered, "This is the contract." As he spoke, he handed the document signed by both


    families to Eugene.


    Eugene swiftly skimmed through the contract, which primarily outlined the terms of the coboration.


    However, his attention was immediately drawn to the final small line at the bottom, marked with a


    crucial note. ''To establish long-term strategic cooperation through marriage, any vition of the


    contract will result in doublepensation for breach of contract and all ensuing financial losses!''


    Having absorbed the contents, Eugene threw the contract onto the table and turned his gaze toward


    the family of three seated across from him, including Ace. "How does this contract rte to Nathan?"


    he questioned.


    Finley furrowed his brows and pointed to the concluding section of the contract, exining, "It clearly


    states here that the basis of the coboration is marriage. However, Nathan''s viral interview not only


    terminated the coboration between our families but also subjected my daughter to public criticism. As


    he seems to revel in the limelight, I demand that Nathan publicly apologize to my daughter on all


    tforms."


    Feeling frightened, Lexie anxiously tugged at Finley''s sleeve. Worried that Eugene might discover she


    had slept with Nathan the previous night, she dreaded the thought of him looking down on her.


    Therefore, she wanted nothing to do with pursuing this matter any further.


    However, Finley interpreted her actions as mere worry and fear. He tenderly patted her hand and


    comforted her, "Don''t worry, child. I will ensure that justice is served for what you have endured."


    Eugene, seeming to strongly agree, nodded. As confusion filled the room, he slowly spoke up. "That''s a


    good idea. Let''s have a public apology on all tforms."

    A flicker of hope ignited within Finley''s eyes as if he had glimpsed a temporary victory. Once the matter


    of the apology had been resolved, only the matter of financialpensation would be left to address.


    In truth, as long as Nathan was willing to apologize, all other aspects could be negotiated.


    Lexie was also surprised by Eugene''s easy agreement.


    Jade was equally dumbfounded. How can Eugene allow Nathan to apologize?


    As each person grappled with their own bewildered thoughts, Eugene spoke once again. "Let''s


    schedule it for tomorrow. Your entire family, along with Ace, will apologize to Nathan across all


    tforms!"


    As his words sank in, the four individuals seated opposite Eugene were frozen in disbelief. They


    exchanged perplexed nces, seeking confirmation in each other''s eyes.


    It wasn''t Nathan who was expected to apologize to them. Instead, they were asked to apologize to


    Nathan.


    The reasoning behind this demand remained elusive.


    Finley''s simmering temper finally reached its boiling point. "President Nn, you are taking this too far,


    don''t you think?"


    Eugene maintained hisposure, his expression disying an air of indifference. As he turned his


    gaze towards Finley, he appeared surprisingly amodating. "What seems to be the issue, Mr.


    Snow? Are you dissatisfied with the proposed resolution?"


    Suppressing his anger, Finley retorted, "Nathan was the one who vited the contract first and insulted


    my daughter. Why should we be the ones to apologize?"


    Eugene gestured toward Nathan and calmly stated, "Show the contract to Mr. Snow. Does it contain


    any statement or signature from Nathan? Where is the evidence of vition?"


    Nathan, everposed, promptly opened the contract and handed it to Finley. "Mr. Snow, please take


    a look. The contract bears your signature and that of Mr. Baker. It solely emphasizes the necessity of a


    marriage alliance between the Snow and Baker families. If you are insistent on pursuing a marriage


    alliance with the Baker Family, why not consider my uncle''s suggestion? My father is currently single!"
