The Contract Said No Strings Attached (Charlotte) novel Chapter 420

Darcy took a deep breath. He hadn’t built his business empire by being petty or short-sighted. So he hadn’t gotten the ransom—fine. At least he hadn’t burned any bridges with N. Maybe that wasn’t such a bad thing.

Besides, if he could get his hands on the SOAI technology, the future profits would be enormous.

For now, his top priority was to meet with N and try to secure the SOAI deal.

But after liquidating his assets and scraping together four billion dollars, Darcy called N—only to be told he was too late. The SOAI technology had just been sold to Dylan for five billion.

Darcy was dumbfounded. N’s words hit him like a bucket of ice water.

Of course, all of this had played out exactly according to Noah’s plan. He’d brushed Darcy off with a random excuse; he’d never intended to work with him in the first place.

Meanwhile, Dylan had called Noah several times, but Noah hadn’t answered.

Aiden spoke up. “Noah, I mean, he is our dad. And he’s been so persistent. Maybe we should just sell it to him?”

Aiden was careful, trying to speak up for Dylan.

But Ethan scoffed. “Are you kidding? Dad’s money will end up ours anyway. Even if we don’t sell it to him now, we’ll inherit it after he’s gone. Why bother trying to make money off our own dad? We should sell it to someone else.”

Evan shook his head. “You’re the one not thinking straight. This chip technology is worth a fortune in the long run. If we sell it to Dad, with his skills, he’ll multiply the profits over and over.”

Ethan’s eyes lit up as he realized. “Oh, right! The more Dad makes, the bigger our inheritance gets!”

Then Evan’s expression turned worried. “But what if Uncle Samuel finds out? Won’t he be mad? I remember he really wanted the tech, too.”

Ethan propped his chin in his hand, thoughtful. “Uncle Samuel’s our real uncle. We can’t scam Uncle Samuel out of his money.”
