"Was it true that you weren't qualified for the contract for Maison de la Mer, because of the rumor flying around? Was that why Mr. Domnic refunded your bidding?"
"That's not accurate," Valerie replied, her voice firm but controlled. "Like you said, it's a rumor. An unfounded rumor." She paused, "As for Mr. Domnic refunding our bidding fee, that's not correct either."
As she said that, her team pulled up the signed Maison de la Mer's contract on the flat screen behind her, and the room fell silent. The reporters' eyes widened as they took in the document, their cameras clicking away to capture the image.
The reporters zoomed in before the screen, scrutinizing every detail of the contract. Valerie's team had highlighted key sections, including the signatures of both parties and the terms of the agreement. The document appeared to be ironclad, contradicting the rumors of irregularities and disputes.
