Chapter 394 Termination of the Contract
It’s time to put the past behind me and move on. Douglas is living a happy life now, and I should stay out of his hair.
I did what I did back then, so I should have thought that this would happen one day. Whitney turned off her
computer and lay in bed with her eyes closed. No matter how she tried to convince herself to forget about Douglas,
she couldn’t stop her tears from rolling down her cheeks.

The next morning, Nicole arrived at Gardner Corporation wearing a decent-looking formal suit, which was unlike her
usual dressing style. In fact, she had a phone call with Jaxton the night before and arranged a meeting with him
that day.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSince Aimee International hadn’t dropped the charge, those people could only rely on Nicole because she was the
only one who could seemingly turn the tide for them. When Nicole got to the meeting room, she was greeted by the
sight of Kylie, whom she raised her eyebrows and smiled at.
With a stern look on her face, Kylie turned her attention to Jaxton and asked, “Is this what you summoned me here
for? I have no business with this lady.”
In the meantime, Jaxton knew the situation would be a little intense between Nicole and Kylie, considering their
opposing positions as the former and current chief designers of F&M Apparel. Nonetheless, he had no choice but to
go ahead and handle the matter with precaution because of his priority to make Aimee International drop the case.
“Director Kidman, I believe you must have made up your mind by now. So, what would be your answer then?”
Nicole smiled and looked at Jaxton with a mischievous expression on her face.
Despite Jaxton’s hatred for Nicole, he hid his emotions well without showing them at all because there was nothing
he could do besides putting up with the lady. He then stared at Nicole and asked, “Are you sure you took care of the
matter with Aimee International’s president? Does that mean they’ve agreed to drop charges?”
Nicole smiled confidently in response. “It’s up to you to believe me. If you don’t, you’re always welcome to confront
them for an explanation.”
Upon hearing the lady’s words, Jaxton appeared to be a little hesitant. After all, when Nicole confidently guaranteed
that she could persuade Aimee International to drop the charge, he sent his men to secretly stalk her, only to be
told that nothing was wrong during the negotiation between the lady and the company.

Thus, it seemed to him that the situation would likely go in his favor in spite of his doubts and disbelief. “I trust you,
of course, Miss Anderson,” Jaxton said.
Meanwhile, Kylie knitted her eyebrows in confusion when she heard the conversation between the two of them.
“Why did you tell me to come here when you both were only going to talk about the case with Aimee
International?” Already unhappy with her powerlessness in Gardner Corporation, Kylie was even more annoyed
when she realized she had been dragged here to hear something that had nothing to do with her. I wouldn’t have
come here if I had known this was what this meeting was about.
Without saying a single word, Nicole shot a gaze at Jaxton, hinting to him about the wiser choice to make between
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAimee International and F&M Apparel. Therefore, Jaxton turned his attention to Kylie and apologetically said, “I’m
sorry, Miss Simmons. Gardner Corporation will terminate the contract with F&M Apparel, so please pack your stuff
and leave the building right now.”
As soon as Kylie heard that, her face changed because she reckoned she had been patient and tolerant enough of
her limited powers in Gardner Corporation, after all. Therefore, when she was told to leave the company, she was
bitterly resentful and exasperated. In fact, she was counting on the deal to consolidate her position as the chief
designer of F&M Apparel since she was still new.
However, she was now dismayed when her plan was thwarted. Oh, gosh! Not only did my plan fail, but I was also
cast away from Gardner Corporation before I could see my plan succeed. If word about this gets to F&M Apparel,
I’m going to become a laughingstock. “You can’t do this, Director Kidman.
The deal between F&M Apparel and Gardner Corporation is bound by a contract, and there is still a month more
until it expires. So, your decision is going to constitute a violation of a legal contract.”
Despite Kylie’s warning, Jaxton couldn’t care less about that as he replied, “Gardner Corporation will pay the
damages to F&M Apparel as per the terms and conditions stated in the contract. So, you can rest assured about
that, Miss Simmons.”
Exasperated and unhappy, Kylie glared at Nicole and gritted her teeth. “Is this your doing, Nicole?!”
