Time-Limited Love: A Contract Expired, Not Renewed novel Chapter 308

The voice on the other end of the line sounded hesitant, as if weighing every word.

After a long pause, the assistant finally spoke, slowly and carefully, “Mr. Jensen, I suggest you review the contract we signed. The penalty for breach of contract is clearly specified in the terms.”

Juniper’s heart skipped a beat at the assistant’s tone. A dark premonition settled over him.

He hung up at once and pulled up the contracts the assistant had sent over. His hands trembled violently as he navigated the files.

He opened the first contract he found.

The penalty for breach was only 0.1%.

He flipped through several more contracts, hands shaking more with each one.

In the end, he collapsed onto the sofa, completely drained of hope.

The highest penalty he could find was 0.1%, some even as low as 0.01%.

On projects worth hundreds of millions—even billions—these penalties were laughable. They might as well not exist.

Suddenly, he remembered when Landon had handed these major projects to Infinity Structures Inc.

Back then, Landon had wanted to protect them, making sure they wouldn’t face ruinous penalties if anything went wrong. He’d deliberately set the fees ridiculously low.

Other shareholders at Ford Group had strongly opposed the idea, but Landon had promised that if there were any extra penalties incurred, he’d personally cover Infinity Structures Inc.’s share.

Only then had the board grudgingly agreed.

At the time, Juniper had been quietly smug, thinking that if it weren’t for his daughter, Landon would never have risked so much to support the Jensen family’s business.

But now...

That smugness had turned into a guillotine hanging over their heads, ready to fall at any moment.

“It’s over. We’re finished.”

Juniper slumped into the couch, his phone slipping from numb fingers and landing on the floor with a dull thud.

“No way!” Noelle blurted out. “How could I not go to Landon?”

Juniper’s face darkened, his anger boiling over.

“Don’t you get it by now? Landon doesn’t care about you. The more you cling to him, the more he’ll hate you. Do you want to end up begging on the street?”

His features twisted with rage.

He cursed himself for ever marrying Rosalie, that useless woman, and for letting her give birth to such a foolish daughter.

But now, regret was pointless.

“I’m telling you, either you go beg Landon to let us off the hook this time, or you can pack your things and leave the Jensen family for good. Everything here will belong to your brother from now on.”

Noelle stared at her father’s terrifying expression, too frightened to argue. Swallowing her pride, she nodded reluctantly.

“Okay, Dad, don’t worry. I’ll go talk to Landon right away.”
