Chapter 440: Chapter 440: No Other Way
Nadia Archer hesitated slightly and only spoke slowly after a while, "Is Director Thornton very angry over there?"
"That’s inevitable. But she probably won’t target you since it’s me who bears a long-standing grudge with her," Evelyn Clayton smiled faintly, "So you don’t need to worry, even if Yolanda Thorne does want to make a move against you, there’s still Aegis, and at worst, there’s me."
Nadia Archer seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and then let out a bitter laugh, "Actually, I’m not entirely worried about that. After all these years on the sidelines, I’ve gotten used to it. What concerns me more is that after renewing the contract, things will still be as lukewarm as before."
Evelyn Clayton shook her head with a smile, her eyes gleaming, "Being lukewarm isn’t a crime, and besides, you shouldn’t underestimate yourself. Iris and I decided to renew the contract with you, not just for the money."
Although these words had a hint of appeasement, since no businessperson doesn’t want to make more money.
But Evelyn Clayton considered herself to have some principles.
At least compared to Yolanda Thorne, she wouldn’t exploit others relentlessly, turning them into money-making machines.
Nadia Archer looked at Evelyn Clayton, seemingly at a loss for words.
Before long, they arrived at Nadia Archer’s residence, and Evelyn Clayton gave a reassuring smile, "Have a good rest for the next few days. Once the contract is drafted, Iris will contact you. All you need to do is maintain your good condition."
Iris Lockwood also comforted, "Don’t worry, Aegis can still hold on for a while, it can afford you, and there’s no fear of you not making money."
"Okay, thank you, Director Clayton, thank you, Director Iris," Nadia Archer smiled, heavily burdened, as she got out of the car to say goodbye.
On the way back, Iris Lockwood brought up Yolanda Thorne, filled with indignation.
"I think what happened to you in Y Province was most likely Yolanda Thorne’s doing," Iris Lockwood rattled off, her hands turning the steering wheel, while her mouth didn’t stay idle, "Once Aegis is back on its feet, Yolanda Thorne will get what’s coming to her sooner or later!"
At these words, Evelyn Clayton’s brow furrowed slightly.
"No rush," Evelyn Clayton said slowly, "Take it easy, that day will come."

Yolanda Thorne arrived home, only to be met with Heather Donovan.
Heather Donovan couldn’t wait to ask, "How did it go? Was the person signed?"
"What kind of bad idea did you come up with!" Yolanda Thorne was in no good mood, firing off angrily, "That Nadia Archer doesn’t know what’s good for her!"
Heather Donovan also looked displeased, "How did you say it? Did you say it the way I taught you?"
Yolanda Thorne was filled with hostility, "Regardless of whether it was the way you taught me, Nadia Archer is now planning to renew the contract with Evelyn Clayton! Evelyn even had the nerve to mock me before she left..."
Saying this, Yolanda Thorne looked coldly at Heather Donovan, "Where is Matthew Sullivan? I haven’t even settled accounts with him for how he messed things up last time!"
"I’ve contacted him, Matthew Sullivan isn’t answering," Heather Donovan gritted her teeth, "But don’t worry, he wouldn’t dare run away, not with me here."
Yolanda Thorne’s anger subsided a bit, and she said heavily, "We can’t make any rash moves now. I suspect that Evelyn Clayton already knows about what happened in Y Province..."
She didn’t finish her sentence, but Heather Donovan understood.
Heather Donovan’s eyes held a trace of fear, "She knows? Then what do we do?"
"So what if she knows? She won’t have any evidence..." Yolanda Thorne said slowly, her eyes filled with confidence, "As long as that person is around, she’ll never be able to do anything to us."
