Chapter 24: Signing The Contract
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Wilson paused and dared not speak anymore. It would be bad if he angered Mr. Davis and made the Stardust Corporation and the Huttons who owned it boycott his family.
Davis quickly glanced at Lucas, but he did not go up to greet him and instead pretended not to know him.
Since Lucas wanted to keep his identity secret from the Carters, he had to follow instructions because he was his subordinate.
Davis took out a document and placed it on the desk in the reception room.
Dominic immediately looked over. When he saw the word ‘contract,’ his eyes immediately widened, and he said in a shaky voice, “Contract?”
Davis chuckled. “Yes, this is the strategic cooperation contract drawn up by the Stardust Corporation. Miss Cheyenne Carter looked for me several times yesterday, and I was touched by her sincerity, so I want to give your company a chance to cooperate with us. I have already signed this contract. As long as you have no other objections, you can sign it after taking a look, and it will take effect immediately.”
The Stardust Corporation actually took the initiative to offer them a chance to cooperate!
It was a godsend!
However, when they heard that they obtained the contract because of Cheyenne, their faces turned grim, and many of them subconsciously glanced at Bryce several times.
Dominic had promised to give the position of general manager of the Brilliance Corporation to the person who managed to clinch the cooperation agreement with the Stardust Corporation.
Now that Cheyenne had clinched the contract, was she really going to make a comeback and become the helmsman of the Brilliance Corporation again?
Bryce looked extremely upset too. He was originally already confident that Cheyenne wouldn’t be able to handle the cooperation agreement with the Stardust Corporation and wanted to take the opportunity to drive her, her good-for-nothing husband, and her useless parents out of the family. He didn’t expect her to really clinch the cooperation…

Cheyenne was stunned too. Yesterday, she had asked to see Mr. Davis at the Stardust Corporation office several times but to no avail. In the end, she almost thought that she no longer had any hope. To her surprise, Davis was touched by her actions and even brought the contract to the Brilliance Corporation personally.
Needless to say, Dominic was overjoyed. Without even taking a careful look at the contract, he hurriedly signed his name at the bottom and stamped the Brilliance Corporation’s official seal on it, for fear that Davis would change his mind and withdraw the contract.
Having finished the task given by Lucas, Davis felt relieved and turned to leave.
Seeing that the Carters had actually signed a contract with the Stardust Corporation, Wilson felt bitter and infuriated because the Carters were too busy rejoicing, so no one attended to him. He stormed off in a huff.
Having signed the contract, Dominic was extremely pleased. He looked at the joyful Carters in the room and suddenly cleared his throat. “Since everyone is here, I shall announce something.”
Here it comes!
Everyone came to a sudden realization. It seemed that it was time for Dominic to announce the new helmsman of the Brilliance Corporation.
Countless envious gazes were cast at Cheyenne. Even many of those who had mocked her loudly previously began looking at her with awe and tried to suck up to her.
If not for the fact that Bryce, the eldest scion of the Carter family, was staring at them hostilely, many of them would have run to Cheyenne immediately to show their loyalty to her.
Cheyenne was extremely excited too, and she was staring at Dominic with glistening eyes.
“I hereby announce that Bryce Carter will be the new general manager of the Brilliance Corporation from today onward. He will be fully responsible for all affairs of the corporation, including the cooperation with the Stardust Corporation. Everyone else must fully cooperate with him!”

After Dominic said this, everyone else was stunned.
Lucas’s face turned gloomy, as he didn’t expect Dominic to go back on his word!
After being shocked for a while, Bryce looked pleasantly surprised as he walked over and exclaimed loudly, “Okay, Grandpa! I’ll do a good job and make sure that I don’t let you down!”
The other Carters soon turned their heads over, thinking to themselves that Dominic was just making an empty promise previously. Why would he hand over the company to a granddaughter who wasn’t related to him by blood instead of his biological grandson?
They were muddled!
In particular, a few of them who almost wanted to express their loyalty to Cheyenne felt extremely thankful that they didn’t. Otherwise, Bryce wouldn’t have let them off!
“Okay, this is all. You are dismissed. Get back to work.” Dominic turned around to leave.
Unable to tolerate it any longer, Cheyenne chased after Dominic and stood in front of him. “Grandpa! Didn’t you say that you would give the Brilliance Corporation to the person who clinched the cooperation agreement with the Stardust Corporation? Why did you let Bryce become the general manager instead?”
Dominic glared at Cheyenne apathetically. “Are you upset? If not for you, the Carters wouldn’t have become a second-rate family in Orange County. If not for your loser husband offending Mr. Wilson, we would have signed a contract with him too. You’re so incompetent! What right do you have to be indignant?”

8 62The Card Thief of Culnivar
Deep with the cozy kingdom of Daeton, among the generation-old farmlands and villages, a young farmer’s daughter stumbles upon a dead man. His elaborate clothing has been torn to ribbons, yet his skin remains unblemished. His face is peaceful, and tucked into the hand lying across his chest can be seen a solitary playing card. He is a Ludum Haeres. The last remnant of a Summoner. Numbered among those few capable of changing their destinies. The unseen rulers of the world known as Vesperia, and one of the most powerful creatures in existence. The woman knows none of this. And so, she picks up the card... This is my third novel on Royal Road, the first being "Beyond the Horizon's Eye", and the second being "The Dawnfire Archives". This story is something of a test in a new genre, that of CardLIT. We'll see how well it succeeds as the story continues. It takes place in a different setting than my other tales, with an entirely new cast of characters. It does, however, contain several ties between the stories. Average post between 1000 - 3000 words.
