Hearing Mr Abraham's question, the Latulini Group parties became nervous. The problem was that they did not know about the document shown by Yuki, even Mr Latulini himself did not feel that he had ever signed the file.
They could only look at each other, feeling confused about what to say.
Meanwhile, Mr Latulini could only look confused at Mr Abraham, leaving him speechless.
As there was no answer from Mr Latulini, Mr Abraham's anger boiled over.
BRAK!
Mr Abraham got up and slammed the table in front of him, making everyone feel shocked and scared.
Zeo could only look at his emotionally-charged father, while trying to remain neutral about the situation.
"If the Latulini Group cannot prove these allegations, I will assume that no agreement can continue with the Latulini Group! The Abraham Group will also demand a penalty fee for breach of contract, amounting to 1 million dollars as per the contract and agreement!" said Mr Abraham, causing them to gape in shock.
It took them by surprise. Some of them felt that they would not be able to stay in their current company for much longer.
Mrs and Mr Latulini felt so pressed that they could do nothing. They could only remain silent, as it was undeniable that the signature was indeed his own. However, he still did not know when he had signed such an agreement.
As he had nothing more to say, Mr Abraham walked away, leaving the staff and parties of the Latulini Group in ruins. Yuki and Ren grinned happily, as they finally managed to get rid of their toughest rival in terms of marketing.
"If they don't cooperate anymore, I will definitely be able to find clients on my own! The profits will be ours!" thought Ren, who had been idly standing behind his wife, Yuki.
Seeing his father leave the room with his assistant, Zeo immediately got up and faced Mr and Mrs Latulini. His gaze was upset, because he felt that he had entrusted the wrong person all this time.
"I didn't expect you guys to do something sneaky like this!" Zeo scolded, making them look at him in disbelief.
"I never did that!" argued Mr Latulini vehemently, but the evidence Yuki showed was enough to make Zeo believe him completely.
"Sorry, I don't trust you anymore. Excuse me," said Zeo, who immediately left the room along with the other staff, including Yuki and Ren.
The devastation they were currently feeling, made the staff of Latulini Group very disappointed in their leader.
Mrs and Mr Latulini exchanged glances.
"How is this?" asked Mrs Latulini feeling confused.
Mr Latulini gently stroked his wife's shoulder. "Take it easy. We have to face it together."
Hearing her husband's words, she felt a bit of a strength boost. Although it was impossible for her to pay the penalty money, perhaps they would be able to find a solution to their problem.
Meanwhile in the basement car park, Yuki and Ren were already preparing for their next action against their hardline rivals. Ren tried to make their car experience problems, armed with the knowledge he had.
Yuki looked worriedly at her husband who was cutting the brake line of Mr Latulini's car. Her feelings were very worried, because she felt that her husband had gone too far.
"Don't you feel excessive? The penalty money is enough to reprimand them, don't you take their lives like this!" reprimanded Yuki, who still had a bit of humanity towards her rival.
However, Ren was not as kind as his wife. He felt that everything that hindered him, he must immediately eradicate. He didn't know how to do it.
"Don't talk so much!"
Yuki could only surrender, because of the yelling she got from her husband.
Some time passed, Ren had finished making a mess on the brake line of Mr Latulini's car. Ren got up from under the car, and immediately pulled his wife's hand to get away from that point.
Unfortunately, not long after, the owner of the car arrived. They got into the car, and prepared to return to their home, to break the sad news to their only daughter.
Mr Latulini took a deep breath before driving off. His wife stopped him, sensing that something was off.
"Shouldn't we take a taxi home? You look really tired," she said, already having a bad feeling.
"I can do it if I just drive." Mr Latulini remained firm in his stance.
There were no words to contradict her husband's words. Mr Latulini drove the car at standard speed.
Mrs Latulini picked up her mobile phone to call her daughter Zara. She waited for some time, until the call was finally connected.
Zara was choosing a style of dress that she really liked, at a shopping centre. She was surprised when she heard her mobile phone ring.
She immediately received a call that turned out to be from her mom.
"Hello, Mom. What's wrong?"
"Sad news, Zara."
Her forehead wrinkled. "What is it, Mom?"
There was a sense of apprehension and unease towards her daughter. The thing was, they had raised their daughter to live a very luxurious and wealthy life. Mrs Latulini was very worried that Zara might not be able to accept this situation.
"Mom should say it. But don't let it make you feel pressurised."
"Just say it, Mom!"
Mrs Latulini turned to her husband who was driving. "We lost our partnership with the Abraham Group, and we have to pay a penalty of one million dollars!"
Her eyes widened in shock. "What?"
"Mom and Dad, trying to explain what we didn't do. However, they didn't believe us at all after seeing the evidence that Yuki and Ren provided."
Yuki and Ren, just hearing their names made Zara Latulini shudder with amusement. Indeed, there had been a ruckus between them for a long time. Moreover, it was their son who always invited a feud every time he met her.
Their son is Zara's ex-boyfriend. But undeniably, Zara's feelings for him were still lodged right in her heart.
"What's wrong with them again, Mom? Isn't it enough that I'm their victim? They already put an end to Zain and I's relationship. Why would they also put an end to your business relationship with Abraham Group?" Zara asked, annoyed with the situation.
"Never mind, Zara. You just accept this sad news we're giving you. It's getting dark, don't get home too late. Mom and Dad are waiting for you at home," said Mrs Latulini, whose eyes immediately widened in shock, "watch out!"
Tuuut... tuuut ....
