Chapter 258 Can’t Eat and Have to Take it Along
Isabella didn’t know how to describe her feelings at the moment, and she took a deep breath several times before calming down.
She didn’t want things to end up like this, but the situation just now was beyond her control.
After thinking for a moment, Isabella stepped forward, calming her emotions and saying, "Since Third Master Di is so dedicated, let’s discuss serious matters."
Di Mingjue, for the moment, wanted to laugh. Did this princess think she was playing a game with him?
Considering her attitude, there was no way they could cooperate again.
So, Di Mingjue said bluntly and directly, "Since we can’t agree, there won’t be any cooperation. I unilaterally refuse to cooperate. If you have any issues, find my elder brother."
After saying that, he turned and walked away, his chest upright and the pride in his bones demanded respect.
But Isabella was even angrier. She stared at Di Mingjue as he walked away step by step, spelling out each word, "Mr. Di, be sure you understand. The contract has been signed, and the money has been prepaid to the Empire. If Mr. Di breaks the contract unilaterally, there will be compensation."
Sure enough, as soon as Isabella finished speaking, Di Mingjue stopped in his move.
Only then did Isabella feel a little bit better, after all, everyone cared about their interests, and despite his irritation, Di Mingjue probably did not want to pay compensation.
Di Mingjue turned around and looked at her coldly, his eyebrows raised arrogantly, "You think I can’t afford to pay?"
Besides, he never thought he would pay!
The contract signed by the Empire only promised cooperation in the construction, but it never stated that he, Di Mingjue, had to be the one to assist in it.
He agreed to come only to give honor to Di Mingzhe, and Di Mingzhe only asked him to come to honor the money. It was just that simple.
"You..." Isabella was stimulated by his arrogance.
She was about to say something, but he interrupted, "The princess is a smart person. She should understand that a deal is a mutual choice. If one party disagrees, there can be no agreement. I advise you, princess, not to do things that will make you regret."
This was definitely a threat.
Isabella turned pale, of course, she knew that provoking Di Mingjue at this critical moment was not a wise choice.
But it was hard for her to swallow this anger!
After thinking for a moment, she retorted coldly, "Mr. Di must be tired after traveling a long distance to C Country. I have prepared a wonderful feast and a nice room for you. Why not rest first, then we can talk."
After saying that, she signaled to her guard, "Please show Mr. Di the way!"
It was impossible for her to kill Di Mingjue, but that doesn’t mean she couldn’t detain him first!
After all, this was her territory, and she would not tolerate such blatant disrespect from Di Mingjue. How could someone as privileged as her put up with this?
Di Mingjue of course perceived her insincere words. Watching the firm guard approaching him, he raised his eyebrows but remained unruffled.
He even mockingly said, "Isabella, do you really think you can trap me? I advise you to think thrice before you act. Do you think I’ve come alone? Outside your Imperial Palace, countless pairs of eyes are watching me."
Di Mingjue glanced at his watch and sneered, "If you don’t believe me, let’s make a bet. If I don’t leave in ten minutes, your C Country will suffer."
Upon hearing this, Isabella turned even paler. In her heart, she had thought that Di Mingjue, daring enough to come alone, must have a backup plan.
But she was not certain, as her people had found no evidence.
