Chapter 471 - 472: You Have to Take Responsibility
The ceremony officially began, first with the Griffith Company, and then with the Demon Manga Club, signing agreements separately. Amidst the warm applause, the three parties reached a consensus. As Cherish Turner joined the applause, she never expected that the end of this project would also be the end between them.
After signing the agreements, Mr.Chip invited William Griffith and Chief Editor Sally to chat for a while.
The sun was scorching, and several people strolled slowly along the harbor. Cherish followed them quietly, listening to their conversation. Occasionally, she would hear his deep, brief sentences, drifting in the wind.
"Go to the trunk and get a few umbrellas, it’s too hot," Chief Editor Sally suddenly slowed down and told Cherish, who was by her side.
Cherish nodded knowingly, slowing down and quietly turning back to the parked vehicle nearby. As expected, there were a few umbrellas in a cardboard box in the trunk, which she immediately picked up and tucked under her arm, before turning to head back. However, halfway there, she bumped into two people - William Griffith and Thomas Harrison - who were walking towards her, their tall figures towering.
As they approached step by step, Cherish stepped aside to let them pass.
William said something, and Thomas suddenly sped up, walking ahead. William, however, still maintained his steady pace, eventually approaching her. He suddenly stopped, not moving forward. Unconsciously, Cherish tightened her grip on the umbrellas in her arms and politely called out, "President Griffith."
William fixed his gaze on her profile, his voice low and husky, "I received the ring you sent."
"Mmm—" she drawled, not saying anything else.
