NovelFinishChapter 386 After finalizing the decision to terminate the contract, Vesta picked up the phone to inform Thorne.
"At the auction, I slipped up while chatting with Darleen, and she caughtoff guard. Stewart's lack of interest in collaborating with Neural Nexus Tech is blatantly obvious. Even if we went to court and won, I can't guarantee they wouldn't cause trouble later. Since they're not keen on working with us, I think it's best to part ways now and find a new partner." Thorne didn't bother asking what Vesta had said that Darleen used against her.
Instead, he simply replied, "If you've made up your mind, then go ahead and terminate the contract. Do you need help with the termination fees?" Truth be told, Vesta was tempted by Thorne's offer. Ever since her family moved to Starfall City, Thorne had done so much for her and her family. However, she knew that relying on him for every little thing could bectiresome, no matter how captivating she might be. She understood this was not a sustainable approach.
So, she answered, "No need. I can handle it myself." "Alright," Thorne continued, "Do you wantto help you find a new partner after you end things with PrimeStar Technologies?" Having been upset with the whole Charlene and Stewart ordeal recently, Vesta felt a wave of warmth and sweetness wash over her at Thorne's offer, and her tone softened involuntarily.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Yes, thank you, Thorne." Stewart and Charlene left the contract termination details to their lawyers. When Vesta received the termination terms from PrimeStar and saw the $30 million fee, she frowned.
Back when PrimeStar and Neural Nexus Tech first collaborated, PrimeStar wasn't as prominent in the Al field as it is now. Compared to the original contract, the $30 million fee seemed quite steep.
"$30 million?" Leah frowned as well.
It wasn't that she thought the sum was outrageously high or that Charlene and Stewart were being unreasonable. Before her sister met her brother-in-law, their families would have struggled to cup with $30 million. Now, though...
$30 million seemed substantial at first glance, but it wasn't unmanageable. After all, Thorne casually gifted Vesta jewelry worth millions and birthday presents for Katie Hawkins worth tens of millions. Not to mention the estate valued at over $60 million he gave to Vesta's aunt.
Oh, and the company Neural Nexus Tech, which Thorne gifted to Vesta, was worth billions.
Beyond that, Thorne had showered both families with countless valuable gifts, their total worth incalculable.
Compared to these, $30 million wasn't that significant.
Vesta shared Leah's thoughts, as did Maureen Spencer.
However, Katie and Georgina Spencer found the amount daunting.

Vesta paused Although Thorne had given their families many valuable items, he had never handed over cash directly. Given their situation, coming up with $30 million in liquid assets was indeed challenging.
Vesta suggested, "Let's pool our resources together." Rhoda, feeling the pinch, couldn't help but say, "Maybe we should let Thorne help?" Before Vesta could respond,
Maureen interjected calmly, "Rhoda, you can accept gifts from others but for t you can't always ask for them a directly. Continually asking for help is not advisable, do you understand?" Maureen and Vesta had already discussed the potential downsides with them. Thorne might grow weary if they asked too much.
Rhoda understood, but she was just feeling the financial strain. However, since her daughter was the one who one got them into this mess, and considering that $30 million wasn't that overwhelming-especially after Vesta married Thorne, when even $3 billion or $30 billion coulébbe just a word from Vesta-she held her tongue.
Moreover, with the promising future of Neural Nexus Tech they couldn easily recoup the money once their self-driving cars hit the market. With these thoughts in mind, Rhoda chose to remain silent. The others didn't speak up either, sharing Rhoda's sentiments.
