If a party breached the contract for no good reason , that party was required to pay compensation as per the stipulations . Celeste wouldn’t mind calling off the collaboration with InnovaTech if YodaVision Co , was compensated handsomely .
“ Why , you ! ” Linda would love to draft the violation of contract agreement .

However , she didn’t have the authority to make any decisions for InnovaTech . Even if she could do it on behalf of Wynn , Matthias had YodaVision Co.’s back . She was aware that Wynn and the others in the family wanted to keep an amicable relationship with him .
If Linda rashly called the shots and terminated YodaVision Co.’s contract , she would definitely cross Matthias . This alone was enough to make Wynn think twice before agreeing to do it . For that matter, Patricia , Erin , and the others shared the same thoughts .
Patricia found it distasteful when she saw how Linda was stumped . In fact , even Lilian’s gaze turned colder when she looked at Celeste . None of them thought Celeste would retort in this manner .
With that said , Lilian clearly didn’t think Celeste was a threat . She said icily , “ You’ve got a sharp tongue . I’ll give you that , but how certain are you that your signature carries legal power ? ”
The last thing Henry had expected was for Celeste to start an argument with members of the Locket and Shaw families . At this point , he was worried that things would take a turn for the worse .
He tugged at Celeste’s hand , intending to defuse the tension . However , she shook his hand off and met Lilian’s eyes firmly . Her gaze was even icier than the latter’s when she spoke .
“ Why don’t we give it a try ? Then , you’ll know if my signature is legally binding . Do it . I dare you . ” Her voice brimmed with confidence .
Lilian pursed her lips in response . Ever since Wynn and Trevor had been in a relationship , no one had made her feel sorry for herself , be it the Lockets or the Shaws . After all , she had his backing .
The fact that Celeste was the one who belittled her didn’t help at
“ What’s going on here ? ” That was when Wynn walked over
all .
Celeste immediately responded , not giving any one of them the chance to speak , “ Ms. Shaw accused YodaVision Co. of being incapable . She also said that that was why my company staff needed to perform frequent maintenance routines here at InnovaTech .
“ I told her off and said that you guys are free to terminate the contract if you think we are not up to the job . However , Ms. Shaw said that I didn’t have what it takes to make such a decision .
“ I retorted by asking you guys to draft up the violation of contract agreement . After I sign it , you’ll find out if I have the authority .
“ This lady over here … ” Celeste pointed at Lilian as she spoke . “ … claimed that my signature isn’t legally binding . I told her to draft the aforementioned agreement and give it a try . Then , everyone will know the kind of power my signature holds .
“ They were the ones who insulted my company without a good reason , but they didn’t seem to dare to do anything , now that I asked them to put their theories to the test . So , what do you think , Ms. Locket ? ”
Wynn also pursed her lips . She hadn’t expected things to turn out this way .
If Celeste had the confidence to say what she said , her signature most certainly was legally binding . Wynn was

sure of that .
If they actually signed the violation of contract agreement , they would have to pay a hefty compensation . That wasn’t the worst part either .
They’d need to source another company to collaborate with which night pose the risk of a major delay for the launch of the autonomous vehicle . That would certainly be a huge loss for InnovaTech .
Celeste continued when she noticed that Wynn didn’t give her a prompt response , “ So , you don’t have the guts to do it too , Ms. Locket . Your people were the ones who insulted YodaVision Co. , calling us incompetent .
“ And yet , none of you made a peep when I asked for a violation of contract agreement . What is the meaning of this ? Do you all think you can belittle anyone as you please because you think you are powerful and influential ? ” “ This isn’t a big deal , ” Wynn protested icily . “ Ms. Rodriguez , why do you insist on blowing it out of proportion ? ” “ Ms. Locket . Your cousin recklessly mocked YodaVision Co. It was clear that she was in the wrong , and yet your mother helped her in pressuring me .
“ Now , you are aware that your family made the mistake here , Ms. Locket . Not only did you not apologize to the people of my company , but you pinned the blame on us and said that we were the ones who blew things out of proportion . ”
Celeste glanced at Wynn and said , “ I’ve always heard that you were compassionate , sensible , and extremely kind- hearted . From what I can tell now , that is not the case .
“ Ms. Locket , neither you nor your family live up to that reputation at all . ”
