He Chose Her On Our Wedding Night So I Took Everything Chapter 22
The three-day deadline hadn’t even expired before the Hawthorne family’s version of the story started circulating through the industry association.
Several suppliers who had attended the wedding called to ask if it was true that Carrington had promised a bailout and then suddenly pulled the funding.
My father was furious and wanted to issue a public statement immediately.
I stopped him.
“They haven’t produced a contract. We don’t need to get into a shouting match with them online.”
I had my team create a simple, one-page timeline.
On the night of the wedding, the procurement framework was unsigned, and the credit line was unapproved.
After I left, I issued the hold order, and the next day my lawyer delivered written notice.
As for the existing contracts under Hawthorne’s name, Carrington had continued to honor them. Every payment that was settled and every defective batch that was preserved had a corresponding paper trail.
There wasn’t a single document that suggested a wedding ceremony automatically granted them new orders.
The industry association proposed a closed-door mediation meeting.
I agreed.
On the day of the meeting, Eric’s father stood up first.
“Our two families spent months preparing for this wedding, and Carrington was an active participant in the cooperation plan. Now, because of an emotional squabble between two young people, Elodie is making an entire company and hundreds of its employees pay the price.”
