Caroline’s face turned pale in an instant. The situation was completely inexpected for her. She had bera cold by Renewa Trenton had the intellect of an eight–year–old.
Now, confronted with his piercing gaze, Caroline felt a chill run down her spine.
This was no ordinary child’s aura. A kid would never he so coldly decisive or articulate abour Business maters
“Mr. McClain, I didn’t mean any harm. What I said earlier was just a goodwill gesture Caroline stammeret
With a petulant tone, Trenton replied, “Don’t talk to me anymore?

Meanwhile, Belinda had just returned from the banquet and was about to take a break when she received a phone call
Who would be calling her at this hour? She picked up her phone to see it was Hendrix, Caroline’s grandfather
“Hendrix here. Mrs. McClain, Trenton just announced he’s terminating our partnership out of the blue. The contract has been stamped and sent over without any negotiation; this is truly excessive.
“We’ve already paid for the port fees for the next three years. This sudden cancellation has caught us completely off guard said Hendrix.

The reason Belinda had handed over the managerial duties to Trenton was that she had sense stanley and his family’s ambition and, given her poor health, she wanted to ensure the family’s stability.
But now, Trenton had severed decades of friendship so easily. Belinda started to question whether her decision had been too hasty. After all, Trenton was thinking like an eight–year–old; how could he possibly understand the intricacies of business?

“She’s the most honest child, but she often rubs people the wrong way by speaking her mind. I’ve spoiled her, and I’ll be sending her abroad for school to learn some manners.
“Belinda, don’t worry; I’ll make sure she doesn’t face Mr. McClain again. Can you find a way to help us?”
Belinda felt confused, only hearing Hendrix’s side of the story without understanding the details.
“From what you’re saying, I can’t quite grasp what happened. I’ll investigate first and get back to you later, Belinda replied.
Once Belinda hung up, panic started to set in.
