As Matthew observed the dealers' attitude, he affirmed that Daniel had gathered the dealers here.
Daniel was indeed a cunning man. It was unlikely of him to get these dealers together for a noble reason instead of a self-serving one. He probably was going to use the power of the masses to squeeze a bundle of grand out of Cunningham Pharmaceuticals. However, his fear of Matthew caused him to terminate the contract instead of continuing with his extortion.
Matthew cast a meaningful look at
Daniel before he nodded slowly. "Sure. Sasha, help them with the contracts."
Sasha did as told and immediately made the proper arrangements.
Daniel rose to his feet as he apologized, "President Larson, it's such a shame. I've always looked forward to cooperating with you and Cunningham Pharmaceuticals. However, I can't take the risk this time. I'm sorry about that."
Matthew replied with a faint smile, "President Edwards, you don't have to apologize."
He sneered at Daniel's hypocrisy.
What a cunning man he is. He is being friendly on the outside but backstabbing us by keeping in touch with Neverland Pharmaceuticals.
Nevertheless, Matthew didn't mind the trouble. The dealers could terminate the contract as they wanted, but he wouldn't give them a second chance to sign it. Once he dealt with the matter of Neverland Pharmaceuticals, Daniel and the other dealers would regret their choices.
At that moment, Charles interrupted, "President Larson, I'll not end the contract with you. I believe that you're a dependable man. Besides, I believe in the capability of Cunningham Pharmaceuticals. Therefore, please keep my contract."
Matthew couldn't help but place his attention on Charles. He was surprised to see that the middle-aged man would have the courage to remain at their side when others couldn't wait to cut ties with Cunningham Pharmaceuticals.
As he stepped into the underground parking lot, he found the others were waiting for him.
Daniel began, "Chuck, what happened to you? Didn’t we agree to end the contract? Why did you chicken out at the last moment?"
Charles replied with a calm tone, "I told you. I trust Matthew and Cunningham Pharmaceuticals."
One of the dealers snarled, "The hell you trust! Are you out of your mind? Neverland Pharmaceuticals has already announced that they developed the Restoration Pill! Do you think Matthew Larson and Cunningham Pharmaceuticals can fight against them?"
Another dealer nodded. "He's right! I understand that you're trying to curry favor with the Lord of Eastshire, but he's only respected in Eastshire."
"Neverland Pharmaceuticals has no fear of him. Besides, it's a top five pharmaceutical company in the country. Cunningham Pharmaceuticals has nothing to compete against them. Therefore, you must have a death wish to continue cooperating with them."
