Chapter 1635:
Now, it all looked like hollow showmanship.
Surrounded by silent criticism, Corrine kept her composure. “I've had the contract prepared. If you have no
concerns, Mr. Charles, perhaps you'd like to review it.”
She gave a small signal to Jules’ assistant.
With a nod, the assistant stepped forward and handed the contract to Taylor.
Taylor accepted it without looking and tossed it onto the table carelessly. His expression remained unreadable,
but his cold gray-brown eyes were sharp with disapproval. “We've been trying to schedule a meeting with Mr.
Ford for a month. Every time, he claimed he was too busy. So we made the trip ourselves, only to be brushed off
and sent a woman in his place. Tell me, is that not a sign of...”
“Disrespect? What does he take the Charles family for? Servants, to be ordered around whenever it suits him?”
Taylor spat.
The atmosphere in the conference room turned icy in an instant. No one dared to lift their heads. Outwardly,

“The Charles family is often seen as the true power behind Ezion—a status that commands admiration. We have
spared no effort in welcoming you here, and | trust you will recognize our sincerity.”
As she spoke, her eyes drifted deliberately to the contract resting beside Taylor, who glanced suspiciously at the
contract, then back at Corrine.
This woman was always dangerously smooth with her words.
But curiosity stirred. Reaching over, he opened the contract and paused at the sight of a small note tucked
inside. Whatever was written there made his eyes gleam with unmistakable excitement. Without hesitation, he
picked up a pen and signed the contract, pressing the company seal down in final approval.
The project team sat frozen, their expressions a mix of shock and disbelief. No one had expected Taylor to sign
so quickly. It left them momentarily speechless.
Ten minutes later, Corrine walked alongside Taylor toward the cafeteria.
Usually alive with chatter, the space had fallen uncharacteristically quiet.
