The Doormat Wife’s Ultimate Glow-Up novel Chapter 333

“Mr. Meyer, are you threatening me?”

Matthew raised an eyebrow, his voice growing even colder. “You don’t actually think signing a contract means Vista Tech automatically owns the rights to Blade’s civilian applications, do you?”

Bailey’s heart skipped a beat at Matthew’s tone. The contract was signed, sure, but they hadn’t finished the integration yet. He didn’t want things to get ugly, so he swallowed his irritation and managed a stiff smile.

“That’s not what I meant. I just want to remind you that we’ve already signed the agreement, so we should stick to what it says.”

“Stick to what it says?”

Matthew let out a low chuckle, picked up the contract from the table, and flipped to a certain page. He pointed it out to Bailey. “Mr. Meyer, maybe you should read this part a little more carefully.

“It’s spelled out right here. If Vista Tech’s platform doesn’t meet Blade’s operational requirements, we have the right to end the partnership on our own. And if that happens, Vista Tech is the one responsible for the breach, which means you’ll owe the penalty.”

Bailey’s face darkened for a moment. He quickly grabbed the contract and looked at the page Matthew indicated, eyes scanning the lines.

It was right there: “Vista Tech must complete the operational integration of Blade within one month of starting the partnership. If not, it’s considered a breach of contract and a penalty must be paid.”

He’d been counting on Reese to help keep things smooth. Since BlackOak was willing to work with them because of her, he’d figured there wouldn’t be any traps in the contract, so he hadn’t bothered to read the fine print.

Now, reading that clause, his nerves started acting up again. Still, he reminded himself the platform was built by Sofia and her team, which gave him some reassurance.

“Matthew, you know we’ve got the technical chops. My daughter Sofia is handling Blade’s integration herself. She’s a top grad from a world-class university. It’ll be fine,” Bailey said, his voice full of pride.

Matthew caught the excitement in Bailey’s eyes and smirked. “She’s on her way up now. In fact, she’s already downstairs.”

Right on cue, the conference room door swung open and someone stepped inside.

Reese walked in, her long hair pulled back neatly, a hint of a smile on her face. Her eyes were sharp and focused as she strode into the room.

Bailey and Hank locked eyes, both of them completely thrown.

Hadn’t Reese said she’d already quit BlackOak?

So why was she here now?
