Chapter 75
Chapter 0075 Alexander’s words raised alarm bells in Neil’s mind. Did he mean...
“No! That’s not possible!” Neil's expressions changed. He yelled at his secretary, “Get the legal department and another private lawyer to come here. Bring me the contract! Quickly!”
Once the contract was brought over, Neil immediately snatched it. He was afraid he would miss out on reading even a single word.
The more he read the contract, the more his temple throbbed. It felt as though a bomb set off in his mind as he slumped on the chair.
The contract stated clearly that it was a contract between Severn Group and Amber Chesire, not the Chesire Group. Alexander was right; the project only had to do with Amber. It had nothing to do with the Chesire Group at all!
Alexander smiled. He had instructed George the night before to get someone to change the contract. It was naturally a piece of cake for George to do it.
“H-How did this happen?” Neil's lips quivered. He started to see black, almost passing out.
“Mister Chesire, 1-let me have a look...” The executive in charge of contracts took the contract over to have a quick glance. He immediately slumped to the floor. His face lost all of its colors.
The contract was legitimate. It had the official stamp of the Chesire Group. It was legally binding.
“How dare Chesire Group try to take over Amber’s project?” Alexander sneered. ” How do you feel, Mister Chesire? Does it hurt?”
Neil began to pant as his mind stopped working. The biggest project the Chesire Group had was snatched from him. It was a slap to his face.
The group had tried its best, wanting to grow better through this project, yet the project fell right into Amber’s hands. Were the ones who went through the contract back then blind?

Neil was trembling. The executive in charge of the legal department was shuddering too. His face was extremely pale.
“You have to believe me, Mister Chesire. When | checked the contract, there were no problems at all!” The executive continued in a trembling voice, “Someone must've switched the contracts! This must be it!”Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
Neil glared at him to be silent.
Since Alexander dared to confront him, he must have come prepared. The contract was in black and white, legally binding. He could not deny it at all.
He took a deep breath and glared at Amber. “Amber, it looks like | have underestimated you. You're vicious. Truly vicious!” Amber remained silent as her demeanor grew indifferent.
Although she did not know what happened, she was sure it had to do with Alexander. Seeing Neil getting furious yet helpless relieved her anger immensely.
“You've been hiding in my group for so many years just waiting for today, haven’t you?” Neil looked malicious. His gaze turned maniacal. “Do you think Chesire Group will fall just because you stole this project? Dream on! For everything you stole today, I'll make sure you suffer for them someday!”
He stood up and reached out to grab Amber’s collar- Thud!
Alexander flicked his fingers and swatted Neil's arm away. He said coldly,’ You've bullied Amber and her family relentlessly. Well, an eye for an eye. We'll return the favor to you and the Chesire family!”
Then, Alexander held Amber’s hand and headed for the door. Neil, holding his arm, turned pale. He exchanged glances with the other executives, unable to find his words.
Alexander seemed to have thought of something as he turned and smiled. “By the way, other than Amber’s resignation, there is something else out there. The New Chesire Group will be launched tomorrow. We welcome you, Mister Chesire, to attend.”
Then, he left with Amber without looking back.
The entire meeting room was in dead silence. They even had to deliberately breathe quieter.
Neil heaved and panted. His lips twitched out of anger.

Amber formed a new company? The ‘new’ Chesire Group? This was not just revenge; this was a slap of humiliation to him! Alexander was a loser, yet he snobbishly invited him to the launch of this supposed ‘new’ Chesire Group. He was clearly trying to humiliate him!
Not only did he fall into Alexander and Amber’s set-up in front of all the executives, but their company’s most important project was also stolen! How was he going to explain this to Donovan Chesire?
He had never been so embarrassed before in his entire life!
“Mister Chesire...” An executive walked over to Neil and asked tentatively, “They swapped the contract. This is a crime. | think we should call the police to arrest them.”
“Fuck you!” Neil took the thick stack of contracts and threw it on the executive’s head. “Why are all of you so useless? You're all useless!”
Everyone shuddered but allowed Neil to unleash his wrath. With that, the entire meeting room echoed with his yells. At that moment, Alexander and Amber were walking out of the Chesire Group building.
Amber wiped away her tears and said gently, her tone filled with sincerity, ” Thank you, Alex.”
She knew that if Alexander was not there today, she have been torn to shreds.
Neil was ruthless. Not only would he kick her out of the Chesire Group, but he would not let her off the hook either. He wanted her to be in prison, or even worse, go after her parents.
That felt much better. She could finally put her foot down and completely cut ties with the Chesire family! Neil and the rest were no family to her. They were unkind to her and had no right to blame her for being mean to them!
She was not going to let them have the project. This was what the Chesire family owed her and her family. The project was hers.
