Chapter 535: Chapter 535 The Danger of the Brown Family (2)_1

"Since President Brown has agreed to cooperate with us, here’s the contract for our collaboration. You can take it back and have a look. If there are no issues, we can sign it tomorrow," Xia Yujie said as he pulled the contract out of his bag. This contract had been drawn up overnight by the Dragon Society’s in-house lawyer following Xia Yujie’s call. And after receiving instructions from Xia Yujie, the lawyer had created a contract that would seem flawless to most other attorneys.

Of course, to spot the hidden issues in the contract, one would need a lawyer on the same level as the Dragon Society’s. And clearly, from the information Xia Yujie and Liu Yuxiang had gathered, the lawyers at the Brown Group were far inferior to the Dragon Society’s.

That’s why Xia Yujie and Liu Yuxiang were so confident in sending this contract with Brown Kress to take back and scrutinize thoroughly. Otherwise, Xia Yujie would have pressured Kress to sign it on the spot.

"All right, I’ll take a good look at it later. If everything seems fine, we’ll sign it tomorrow," Brown Kress replied, yet he thought to himself, "These Underworld types do seem quite decent." He had come to trust Xia Yujie and Liu Yuxiang quite a bit. The rest of his trust rested on this contract—if his lawyers verified it without finding any issues, he would be completely convinced of Xia Yujie and Liu Yuxiang’s reliability.

Truth be told, had Brown Kress not been pushed into a corner, he definitely wouldn’t have accepted Xia Yujie and Liu Yuxiang’s offer to collaborate today, risking defiance of the Brown family’s ancestral teachings. But now, with his position as president hanging by a thread, Brown Kress no longer cared about these traditions and agreed reluctantly.

Xia Yujie and Liu Yuxiang had accurately surmised that Brown Kress was in a state of utter helplessness and wouldn’t easily reject a favorable opportunity that came knocking. That’s why things had gone so smoothly.

As for the scheme to trap Brown Kress that Xia Yujie and Liu Yuxiang were orchestrating, Situ Xin was still in the dark. She had been occupied with the fashion show these past few days.

After the models tried on her designed clothes for the fashion show, Situ Xin started making adjustments in a rush. To save time, she locked herself in a small room at the show venue to modify the clothes. In reality, once Situ Xin entered that small room, she would lock the door and take the clothes into a space where she could make alterations much faster, saving a great deal of time. This way, Situ Xin also got enough rest and wasn’t so exhausted.

Lu Juan and Yu Shiyin were quite surprised when Situ Xin finished altering all the dresses in just two days. They had been worried they wouldn’t have enough time to make all the necessary changes.

Lu Juan had even considered finding a skilled tailor to help Situ Xin with the alterations, but before she could find the right moment to propose this to Situ Xin, all the clothes were already modified.

Touching the dresses Situ Xin had altered, Yu Shiyin said to her, "Baby, your speed is truly impressive, but you must be tired from the past few days. Hurry up and get some rest, so you don’t get sick from overworking."

"Yeah, Xiao Xin, go back and rest for a while. We’ve got the show covered, me and Sister Juan," Yu Shiyin urged, "You have a lot to do in these next few days as the designer. Once those models’ faces are set, you’ll need to discuss the makeup with Daniel." Yu Shiyin hurriedly added this, worried that Situ Xin wouldn’t agree to take a break.

"Since you both insist, it would be rude not to take your advice and rest. Hehe, then I’ll go and rest," Situ Xin replied. Truth be told, even if Lu Juan and Yu Shiyin hadn’t mentioned it, she would have taken the time to rest on her own.

While she wasn’t as worn out as they imagined, the amount of work she had done in the space these past two days had indeed tired her out a bit. She needed to go back, take a nice hot spring bath, and then sleep comfortably.

However, upon returning to the hotel, Situ Xin couldn’t immediately soak in the hot spring she had been looking forward to. Liu Yuxiang called her.

"Master, let me tell you, Brown Kress has already signed the contract with us," Liu Yuxiang said excitedly as soon as Situ Xin picked up the phone.

Caught off guard by Liu Yuxiang’s abrupt announcement, Situ Xin asked in confusion, "Ah Xiang, what do you mean you signed with Brown Kress?" "Oh, I forgot, we haven’t told you about this yet. It’s about this plan that Ah Jie and I carefully drafted after studying the Brown family’s information, an opportunity to make Brown Kress suffer for a lifetime," Liu Yuxiang remembered that they hadn’t had the chance to inform Situ Xin about their plan.

He had just come from the Brown Group, brimming with excitement after finalizing the deal with Brown Kress, and immediately thought to call Situ Xin to share the news, forgetting that she knew nothing of their plot against Brown Kress.

"What plan? Hurry up and clarify, don’t keep me in suspense," Situ Xin pressed. She broadly guessed this was a plan concocted by Xia Yujie and Liu Yuxiang to avenge her, but she didn’t know the specifics.

"Master, here’s the deal..." Liu Yuxiang began to explain their strategy to Situ Xin in detail, becoming more excited as he went along. He concluded with, "Master, let me tell you, Ah Jie and I have just finished signing with Brown Kress. He didn’t notice the trap we set in the contract at all."

"Mm, mm, you did very well this time. I thought that after seeing what Brown Kress and his daughter Brown Lya did, you would have taken a bunch of brothers to give him a beating on my behalf," Situ Xin responded.

Liu Yuxiang’s expression turned sheepish on the other end of the phone. How could he tell Situ Xin that Brown Kress would already be in the hospital if Xia Yujie hadn’t held him back? But he stubbornly responded, "Yeah, how could Ah Jie and I be so impulsive? Hehe."
