Supreme Mars novel Chapter 122

It was in Vesper Corporation at the International Commerce Center.

Peter paced back and forth anxiously in the chairman's office. He checked the time frequently as if he was waiting for someone.

Just then, the door opened. Peter showed a very pleasant surprise and he looked at the door automatically.

But he was soon disappointed when he saw the comer was Caroline.

“Why are you here?” Peter squinted at Caroline and asked her with a bit unhappy tone.

Caroline was a little discontent with Peter’s tone. Since she became Benedict’s woman, she felt her status has been improved vastly. Even Peter should treat her politely and considerately.

But she did not show her dissatisfaction. She only told Peter the purpose of her visit, “Mr. Lawson, I want to know how many profits you will give me since I helped Vesper Corporation get the contract for the construction project.”

Peter frowned and grew even more disgruntled at Caroline. From his heart, he did not want to share the profits.

What he said before was just an illusion. He never thought he would rely on Caroline to get the contract for the construction project. Moreover, he never had imagined that Caroline would become Benedict’s woman. Then it was a bit difficult for Peter to handle.

He thought for a while and said, “When we can earn money from the construction project, I promise I will not treat you unfairly. I will give you 2% of the total profits.”

In his eyes, 2% of the total profits were enough for Caroline.

The construction project was approved by the superior leaders of Emerdale. It aimed at refining the image of the city of Emerdale. Therefore, it was a wonderful business that not only could make money but also could gain a good reputation.

When the project was carried out, even 2% of the total profits could let Caroline become a multimillionaire.

However, Caroline frowned and raised her voice largely, “Only 2%? It’s too low!”

“How much do you want?”

Peter’s face turned overcast.

To share her 2% was his largest compromise. He did not expect that Caroline was so ungrateful!

“At least 10%!”

Caroline looked at Peter indignantly, “Benedict is my boyfriend now. Do you think you can get the contract for the construction project as you desired without me?”

“That’s impossible!”

Peter’s face scowled at once, “Do you think you can walk all over me because you find a good boyfriend?”

Peter showed a thick murderous look, which scared Caroline to take a step back slightly.

When they were going to talk again, suddenly the secretary came over hurriedly, “Mr. Lawson, Mr. Hudson comes.”

The cold expression on Peter’s face disappeared at once; he said pleasantly, “Finally he comes here. Hurry up to let him come in!”

The secretary nodded and left quickly.

Caroline was not very scared when she knew her boyfriend came. She spoke in a fierce whisper, “We talk about it later. I can ask my boyfriend to give this construction project to you, I can also ask him to withdraw the contract.”

Peter looked at Caroline coldly. He waited for Benedict silently without speaking.

Soon Benedict followed the secretary to come into the office. He was in a suit, smiling.

“Benedict.”

Caroline smiled sweetly immediately and held Benedict’s arm familiarly.

Benedict glanced at Caroline and he seemed a little detested. But he did not push her away eventually. Caroline threatened Peter by making eye contact right away.

Peter looked at her quietly. He regardless of her and smiled a smile, “Mr. Hudson, have you brought the contract with you?”

“Of course, how can I forget such an important thing?”

Benedict laughed and handed a folder to Peter, “Dude, check the terms of the contract. Sign it if you don’t find any problem.”

“By the way, have you asked Kate when does she have time?”

Peter was thrilled to take over the contract. He felt fully relieved. His eyes showed eagerness, “Of course I did. But Kate is a bit busy these days. I will inform you as soon as she has time.”

“Thank you very much, Peter.”

Benedict smiled gently but with cold eyes. He found that Peter did not mention him to Kate. Peter just fobbed him off.

The fastest shortcut for the Hudson family to open a market in Emerdale was to cooperate with Kate from the Lawson family. Benedict knew that he could not visit Kate without a referee. He could achieve his goal only by asking Peter, a member of the Lawson family, to introduce him to Kate. He would give Peter the brush if he did not have such a purpose.

But it was worthy to win Peter’s trust with several small projects of the Hudson family.

When thought about that, Benedict’s smile deepened and looked at Peter with disdain.

Peter turned over the contract and read it excitedly. Caroline waited for Peter to sign the contract eagerly. She would get money after Peter signed the contract and conducted the project.

However, as he looked up the contract, Peter’s smile faded and gradually disappeared. His smile was replaced by a scowl.

The corner of his eyes was twitching. His face turned red and pale alternatively with anger. His wrist that held the contract was shaking slightly and rubbed the paper wrinkled.

“Dude, what’s up?” Benedict asked with deep concern.

Caroline also gave a puzzled glance at Peter. It seemed that something was wrong with him.

Peter put down the contract without finishing reading it. He took a deep breath and smiled at Benedict, “Mr. Hudson, are you kidding me?”

Hearing this, Benedict was confused, “What do you mean, bro?”

“Are you asking me?!”

Peter lost his temper on the spot. He forcibly slapped the contract down in front of Benedict, and said angrily, “This is not the contract for the construction project. This is the contract for small projects with little profits! How dare you to fool me with such a contract?”

“What?!”

Hearing Peter’s words, Caroline was also surprised. She picked up the wrinkled contract and looked at it carefully.

As she looked up, Caroline’s face also convulsed. She was shaking slightly, “This...This is not the contract for the construction projects approved by the superior leaders at all!”

She paused and then she thought about something. She forced a smile and turned her face to Benedict, “Benedict, don’t try to be funny. I know it is a little surprise that you prepared for us, right? Hurry up to take the real contract for the construction project out.”

Hearing that, Benedict stood up immediately, he looked at Peter and Caroline strangely, “Don’t you want to do the small project of the Hudson family? Now I give it to you....”

“Nonsense!”

Peter roared to interrupt Benedict without letting him finish his talking.

After that, Peter gave Caroline a stinging slap on her face. He broke out his accumulated anger completely, “What did you tell him? I want the construction project, the construction project approved by the superior leaders, not the small projects!”
