Chapter 1124


    Callum was sent here by Anna today to talk to Sophia about buying their house, but he did not expect


    that Sophia would present him with a one-sided contract termination as soon as he arrived.


    “This is the termination agreement. Take a look. If you’re not satisfied with the terms, we can talk about it


    now. You can ask for as much money as you want, as I have plenty.”

    She threw down a pen, and it was ced on the table together with the agreement. “Just fill in the


    amount that you want.”


    Upon seeing this, Callum frowned.


    Aren’t we just buying your house? Why do I sense some kind of deep hatred? Is it really necessary?


    Baffled, Callum opened his mouth to speak. “This—”


    “Sophia!”


    Callum did not know why Anne was here, and he was even more puzzled when Anne suddenly mmed


    the table and shouted at Sophia. “Don’t be shameless! Ronney Group only cooperated with you because


    we think highly of you. Who do you think you are? You’re a b*stard, so you don’t even have the right to


    cooperate with the Yard family in the first ce! And yet you have the nerve to terminate the contract? A


    b*stard is a b*stard; you’ll never amount to anything!”


    In Anne’s opinion, the Yard family was the most powerful existence in the world. It was one’s blessings to


    be able to work with Ronney Group; in fact, it was the chance of a lifetime.


    Not only did Sophia not kneel down to thank the Lord, but she even dared to terminate the contract!


    Callum’s face paled.


    Why is Anne here? This fool!


    Sophia was so mad that a bitterugh escaped her. Looking at Callum, she tried to be as kind as she


    possibly could. “Mr. Callum, I’m sorry. I’m a b*stard child, so working together has indeed been an insult


    to you and the Yard family’s reputation. Sign this and stamp here while you’re at it. Shae, bring the ink


    pad.”


    Shae came over and with a thud, an ink pad was thrown onto the table.


    Callum started, “Is this—”


    He just wanted to buy a house, not terminate the contract with Sophia!


    Through their cooperation recently, their first few products had been selling well abroad. What is this?


    But it seemed like it was not his turn to speak, because Anne had snatched the agreement over and was


    tearing it up.


    “You can forget about terminating the contract. Ronney Group gave you a chance because we think that


    you’re worthy. Do you think that you can terminate the contract just because you want to? Do you even


    have the right to bring it up? Even if the contract were to be terminated, it would be Ronney Group


    kicking you out instead!”


    Callum was dumbstruck.


    He knew that Anne was foolish, but he did not expect her foolishness to reach this extent.


    Sophia shed him a treacherous smile, seeming as if she had something up her sleeves, before saying,


    “It’s okay, Mr. Callum. We can produce another copy of the agreement even though this one’s destroyed.


    Name your price. It doesn’t matter how much it is and just give me a number. I’ll fork out the amount right


    now.”


    With that, she tossed out a stack of post-dated checks. “Fill in the amount as you like. I’m just a lowly


    b*stard with nothing else to offer other than some stinking money.”


    Callum hastily said, “No, it’s fine. Today, I—”


    For some reason, Sophia suddenly became angry. She mmed the table and stood up with lightning


    speed. “Callum Yard, I only cooperated with you out of respect for the Yard family. If I didn’t respect you,


    you’d be nothing. You have no say in the termination of this contract! If you don’t agree to this, I’ll make


    sure Ronney Group leaves Bayside City! Trying to be ostentatious with me by unting your has-been


    royalty? In ancient times, the fall of the Yard family would make all of you social pariahs and ves for


    generations after. If it weren’t for the revolutionary liberation that was achieved my grandfather’s


    generation, you wouldn’t even be able to get an ID card now!”


    Callum stared nkly at her, suddenly feeling trapped.


    In his eyes, Sophia was a young and adorable mixed-race girl, but just now, he could feel the air of


    arrogance bursting out of her. It was the kind of aura that came from her core, evil and cold, and it was


    nothing at all like her appearance.


    It was obvious that she was furious.


    She said that she would make Ronney Group leave Bayside City, and there was no doubt that she was


    completely capable of doing so. After all, Ronney Group was the outsider here, and they had no power in


    someone else’s territory.


    Sophia, on the other hand, was the leader in this area. Her father was a Mitchell, while her husband was


    a Fletcher. She had a great influence in Cethos, and she even had Asco International—a mighty


    Cethosian business. Furthermore, the Winston family also showed her respect, and the industry she


    created had an influence in Cethos unlike any other. If she were to lose her temper, then her statements


    would not just be petty talk.


    Seeing that Sophia dared to speak to her cousin in such a manner, Anne’s anger grew.


    “Sophia, how dare you use that tone with Callum? You… Do you know who he is?”


    However, Sophia, who had sat back down, seemed as if she could not be bothered to answer. She had


    already put on her sunsses, just wanting to get the termination over with. Therge frames of the


    sses nearly covered up half of her face. Her blue eyes were like those of a predator’s, lying in the dark


    as she fixed Callum with a cold gaze, making him feel a chill down his spine.


    What an imposing manner this little girl has.


    Callum had only seen such dominance on one other woman before, and that woman was none other


    than his mother—Anna Yard.


    Callum gave a slight shudder, but his face was ice-cold. He said to his cousin, “Anne, stand down.”


    Despite that, Anne refused to back down. Her face was flushed with anger as she stomped her foot.


    “Callum, didn’t you hear the way she spoke to you? She’s too audacious, and she even threatened you!


    We must teach her a good lesson!”


    Sophia suddenly piped up, “Do you think I don’t know what the Yard family is ying at? The Yard family


    originated from the Lombardi River, then founded the Lombardi Dynasty thousands of years ago, but was


    evicted from Cethos seven hundred years ago because thest emperor was fatuous and immoral.


    ording to the change inws, royals like the Yard family who have been dethroned will be considered


    outcasts for generations toe. You’ll always be the lowest of the low, doing inferior work and


    possessing a status that’s worse than that of a pig’s. Even if the Yard family established Ronney Group


    and managed to make a name for themselves, in Cethos, you all aren’t the strongest. Globally, you’re not


    even worth mentioning. Heh, if it wasn’t for my grandpa’s kindness which led to him interceding on behalf


    of the Yard family and covering this up, the Yard family would still be nailed firmly onto the pir of shame


    now. You would’ve been a national sinner for eternity!”


    Callum’s face was ashened, and he was too shocked to speak.


    Sophia then lifted her sunsses and sneered, “What’s the problem? You don’t want to ept defeat?


    Believe it or not, tomorrow I’ll make sure the Yard family ends up in the high school modern history


    textbook next semester. I’ll even turn you into a subject in the college entrance examination. I’ll let all of


    Cethos know what the Yard family did back then!”


    “How dare you—”


    Callum shot Sophia a fierce re.


    The Yard family was d that they did not make it into the history textbooks for various reasons. If they


    did, the entire country would learn about what they had done. At that moment, they would really be


    nailed to history’s pir of shame, unable to get down. Naturally, the younger generations were the ones


    who had to take the me for what their predecessors had done.


    Every Cethosian would be criticizing and judging the Yard family.


    When the time came, Ronney Group could forget about developing their business in Cethos.


    Anne was enraged. She once again mmed her hand down on the table and yelled, “Then what are


    you? You’re just a b*stard, and yet you dare to speak to us like that? The Yard family is the proudest and


    most powerful family in the world! Where do you think youe from? You want us to be in modern


    history textbooks? Who do you think you are? Whether or not we’re in the books is not up to you to


    decide!”
