Hatred and anger surged in Teri’s eyes. She suddenly stopped and a strange smile appeared on her face. “Tell her that I have something urgent to attend to and ask her to wait for me. I’ll come over immediately after I’m done with my work. Oh right, remember to keep an eye on her. If she’s tired from waiting, make sure that she is taken care of.” 

Thea didn’t know how long he waited, but she felt sleepy. 

She held her head and felt sleepy. Suddenly, she thought of something and woke up. 

She glanced at the time. Two hours had passed. 

Teri had invited many wealthy families. However, she did not appear for a long time. Thea did not know what was going on outside. 

Thea realized that something was wrong. She quickly got up and walked out. When she went out, no one stopped her. 

The assistant even smiled at her. “I’m really sorry, Mrs. Hendrix. I saw that you were asleep just now, so I didn’t tell Langstaff said that if you’re tired, I can send you back.” 

Thea’s face was cold. “Where is Joyce?” 

The assistant did not hesitate and brought her to Joyce. 

Joyce was in the same situation as her. She was asleep in her room. 

The room was dyed with incense. It smelled exactly the same as the one Thea had smelled in her room just now. 

She realized that what Teri was doing. 

you. Ms. 

Teri had called so many people over using Thea’s name, however, if Thea didn’t show up, everyone would think that she was full of herselve and disliked her for it. 

After today’s matter was over, she felt that many people would think that she was a rude person. 

Thea walked into the room and quickly woke Joyce up. 

Joyce woke up and looked at her in a daze. Suddenly, she realized that she had fallen asleep without knowing. 

“Thea, we’ve been scammed.” Realizing the severity of the matter, Joyce’s expression instantly turned extremely ugly. 

She had entered many ways to frame people in the business world, but this was the first time she had encountered such 

a method. 

This move of Teri’s could be said to be a self–harming move. 

However, there was no grudge between the two of them. Joyce wondered why Teri did this. 

Joyce was a straightforward person. She walked in front of Teri’s assistant and grabbed her collar. “Where’s Ms. Langstaff? We want to see her.” 

The assistant smiled apologetically. “I’m really sorry. Ms. Langstaff really has something on. When she was free just now, she asked me to invite you to the party, but you fell asleep. I had no choice nit to leave you be. You were the ones who fell asleep on such an important occasion.” 

“You!” Joyce was furious. 

Thea stopped her and looked at the assistant with a gloomy expression. “Stop pretending. I already know that Ms. Langstaff

deliberately set me up. Fjust want to ask her why she did this despite our long history of collaboration. If she has any complaints, I am all ears.

“After all, the Langstaff Group and Sparkle Rocks have been working together for more than ten years. Although Sparkle Rocks has profited a lot, the Langstaff Group also makes a lot of money. Is she really willing to abandon a long–term cooperation for personal reasons?” 

“Mrs. Hendrix, what you said is funny. What do you mean by I want to abandon the collaboration between us? It’s obvious that you have no intention of collaborating. You were deliberately avoiding me and making things difficult for me.” At this moment, a clear female voice sounded from behind them. 

Thea and Joyce looked over at the same time. 

Teri walked over with a few well–dressed people. 

Judging from their apperance, they were probably the people Teri had specially invited. 

Thea had done her homework in advance and naturally recognized someone the business partners of Sparkle Rocks were among this group of people. 

At this moment, these people looked at Thea with a complicated gaze. Some of them even had a hint of disgust in their 

eyes. 

Teri wiped the non–existent tears from the corners of her eyes. Her eyes were red, as if she had just cried. 

She said, “Everyone, you’ve all seen it clearly today. I know that Sparkle Rocks has replaced their CEO. I am also new to this. I have showed my sincerity of collaborating with Mrs. Hendrix. 

“I arranged such a big party for her to meet everyone. In the end, when she arrived, she told me that hse wanted us to pay her thirty percent more of what we used to agree on. 

“Naturally, I was unwilling to do so. On the one hand, I asked my assistant to have a talk with her, and on the other hand, I hoped that she would attend the party. After all, we h ked together for so many years, so I feel we have build a strong 

friendship. 

“Unexpectedly, she did not care about that at all. She said that I was the one who invited you, so I would be the one who would be embarrassed in the end. She even went to sleep in her room. 

“I’m here today to ask you, Mrs. Hendrix. Why you’re doing this? Is it because you can’t stand me?” 

Her ability to distort the truth was comparable to Emmalie. 

Thea’s expression immediately turned extremely ugly. 

The people behind Joyce began to discuss. 

A person said, “This is Thea Hendrix. As expected, she’s just a fool. She is not someone who knows how to manage a company.” 

Another person said, “You still don’t know the rumors about her in Key Biskane, right? She made her family into a mess. I don’t know what method she used to be able to run Sparkle Rocks. She has already put on so much airs right after she took over the power.” 

Someone else said, “When I think about working with such a person in the future, I really don’t dare to imagine the consequences. Although the quality of Sparkle Rocks’s raw stones is indeed very good, I don’t want to take the risk of working with this kind of people.” 

A person said, “You’re right. We originally planned to work with Sparkle Rocks because we saw that the Langstaff Group had no problem working with them for over a decade. Now, it seems that there’s no need to consider working with Sparkle

Rocks.”

Some supported Teri and said, “Ms. Langstaff, don’t be afraid. If you don’t work with Sparkle Rocks anymore, we’ll follow you. With such a partner, we won’t be at ease working with her.” 

A person said, “That’s right. She is incapable and rude.” 

Joyce tried her best to explain, but these people would not listen at all. 

Teri was still hypocritically wiping her tears. She claimed that even if she lost Sparkle Rocks, she could still find a better supplier. She just did not want to suffer such humiliation. 

Thea stopped Joyce, who was still in a hurry to explain. 

“It’s useless,” she said faintly as she coldly watched Teri’s performance. “Can’t you tell? She’s determined not to work with me. Even without today’s incident, she would have been able to find another excuse. 

“Blame me for being too stupid and trusting others so easily. The Langstaff Group is probably not the only partner that Sparkle Rocks is going to lose today.” 

Thea had a headache. 

Joyce comforted her. “Don’t be afraid. The Key Biskane is so big. The Langstaff Group is not the only company here. We will be able to get through this.” 

Thea took a deep breath and walked over to Teri. “Ms. Langstaff, there’s no need to continue acting. The matter has already been settled. I just want to have a good chat with you now. At the very least, let me know how I lost.”
