Chapter 41 A Change of Title

Natalie shook her head and said, “He gave me three days to submit the design before they finish work on the 14th, but I can tell that it’s not just us who got this opportunity at Apex.”

“Definitely not just us; you probably don’t know how important the eastern suburbs are for Verde City’s GDP. It’s impossible for them to rely on us alone.”

Before coming here, Karina had thoroughly investigated Apex Global and had some idea of what kind of projects they might get

But she never expected it to be the eastern suburbs project.

“It looks like we’ll be busy for the next few days.”

“Yeah. Let’s go check the site first,” Natalie said.

In any case, they had to see the site first to find some inspiration.

In the car, Natalie’s phone rang.

It was Rebecca calling.

Natalie didn’t want to answer and just hung up. Shortly after, the phone rang again.

This time, it was a call from the Johnson Manor’s landline.

“Go ahead,” Karina said to Natalie and added, “You shouldn’t stay on the line too long.”

“Isn’t that what you wanted? Why are you acting all high and mighty now?”

“Even if you divorced, it’ll be because my son doesn’t want you anymore! You’re not worth it, Natalie!”

“It doesn’t matter. I already initiated the divorce. If you’re not satisfied, I can withdraw the lawsuit
