RedNovelChapter 280 Once the termination was confirmed, Julia called Franklin to inform him.
"During the auction, I slipped up while chatting with Madam Gray. She caught onto something I said, and now it's very clear that Johnny has no interest in working with Wilson Tech anymore. Even if I took it to court and won, there's no guarantee they wouldn't create trouble later. Since they clearly don't want to collaborate, I figured it's better to end things early and find a new partner-it might not be such a bad thing." Franklin didn't ask what exactly she had said that gave Madam Gray leverage. He simply responded, "Since you've decided, then terminate the contract. Do you need help with the termination fee?" To be honest, Julia was tempted when she heard him say that.
But ever since her family had moved to the capital, Franklin had already done so much for her and her relatives.
If she kept relying on him financially and for connections, then no matter how talented or attractive she was, he'd eventually grow tired of her-it was just human nature.
She knew this all too well. That kind of dependency was a dead end.
So she replied, "No need. I can handle it myself." "Alright," Franklin said, then added, "Now that the contract with Cole is canceled, you'll need to find a new partner as soon as possible. Wantto take care of that?" Julia had been in a pretty foul mood lately, especially after being played by Maggie and Johnny.
But hearing Franklin say that made her heart instantly warm, sweet waves rising inside her. Even her tone softened involuntarily.
"Okay. Thank you, Franklin." Johnny and Maggie left the termination process entirely to their legal team.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhen Julia received the termination clause from Cole, her brows furrowed at the sight of the penalty amount- over 300 million dollars.
At the tWilson Tech partnered with Cole, the latter didn't yet hold the kind of prestige in the Al industry that it did now.
Comparing it to the original contract, this new fee definitely seemed excessive.
"Over 300 million?" Sophia echoed in disbelief, also frowning.
14.51 Mr. CEO. Your Wife Has Wanted a Divorce for a Long T99.6% Chapter 280 It wasn't that she thought the amount was unreasonably high or that Maggie and Johnny were being greedy. Before her sister met her brother-in-law, such a sum would have been devastating for both their families- essentially a death sentence financially.
But now...
300 million sounded like a lot, but somehow, it didn't feel that overwhelming anymore.
After all, her brother-in-law had casually gifted her sister jewelry worth tens of millions. The birthday gift he gave to Old Madam Brown was also in the tens of millions. And the villa he gave her aunt? That was worth over 600 million.
Oh, and let's not forget-he gifted Wilson Tech, a company worral billion, to her sister too.
On top of all that, he had sent both their families countless luxury gifts.
All together, the value was immeasurable.
In comparison, 300 million really wasn't that much.
Julia was thinking the sthing. So was Janice.
So when they saw the termination clause, they only frowned slightly.
But the older ladies-Old Madam Brown and Old Madam Green-were clearly pained by it.
300 million was still a massive sum in their eyes.
Logan felt the same.
He frowned and said, "We don't have that much liquid cash." Julia paused.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThat was true. While Franklin had gifted them many expensive things, they were all assets-not cash.
Given the current situation, it wasn't realistic for either family to cough up 300 million on short notice.
She said, "Let's all chip in and figure something out." Tracy winced and couldn't help saying, "Why don't we just ask Franklin to help?"
Before Julia could reply, Janice calmly interjected, "Sister-in-law, it's one thing to accept things people e' give you but you can't just hold your hand out and ask. Relying on others for everything-it's not sustainable. Do you understand?" for a Long T99.8% Chapter 280 If they kept doing that, Franklin would grow annoyed.
They had already discussed this with the family before-Janice and Julia both made it clear that overstepping boundaries would only backfire.
Tracy understood, of course.
It was just that... seeing that amount made her feel the sting.
Still, this whole mess was caused by her daughter in the first place.
And honestly, when she thought about it-sure, 300 million looked like a lot, but now that Julia was married to Franklin, even 30 billion or 300 billion could probably be settled with just a word from her.
Not to mention, with Wilson Tech's future so promising, once their m autonomous vehicle line went public, they'd easily make all the money back. With that in mind, Tracy stayed silent.
The others didn't say anything either, but their thoughts were much the sas hers.
