Submitting To My Billionaire Ex-Wife

Chapter 118

Jacinta’s face had turned rather gloomy as she quirked her lips. “Escort Ms. Hoffman out.

“Aunt Jacinta, how will our families continue collaborating once Tony learns of this? You shouldn’t bear such a huge risk for so little returns. After all, this project isn’t for everyone!” Lauraine eyed Genevieve begrudgingly.

A faint smile was visible at the corner of Genevieve’s lips, and her expression remained indifferent as she barely spared her a glance.

Alas, there were cracks in the veneer Jacinta struggled to maintain as her smile collapsed. “Lauraine, I have repeatedly brought up questions about the project. Are the details altered? Since the Hoffman family stayed silent, I sense no sincerity on your part. Thus, I’ve decided to hand the project over to Eagle Entertainment. Anthony will be informed about it sooner or later.”

With that, she gestured to her secretary and ordered, “Please escort her out. Don’t freely allow her entry next time without an appointment.”

Jacinta’s stern tone startled Lauraine at once, whose expression underwent a series of rapid transformations.

She implored. “Aunt Jacinta…”

The secretary drew near and extended her hand courteously. “This way, please, Ms. Hoffman.”

Lauraine bit her lower lip, glaring at Genevieve fumingly before turning to depart.

Silence reigned over the office in her absence.

Jacinta paused momentarily, and she turned around composedly with a smile. “Apologies for the interruption, Ms. Lawrence. I hope you don’t mind.”

Genevieve returned the smile and inquired confusedly, “Are you still related to the Hoffman Family?”

The fact had caught her off guard.

acinta’s gaze darted toward her. “Presley and I are cousins, but we aren’t close and barely interact with one another. However, Hoffman Group delivered their proposal earlier than you. Besides, heir plans are exceptionally stable, Ms. Lawrence, do you know why I chose you?”

Genevieve’s brows furrowed lightly. “Is it because… of my charming personality?”

Her question broke the tension in the atmosphere instantly.

acinta chuckled uncontrollably while her fingers brushed past her wavy hair. “Indeed, it’s because f how opinionated you are. A little bird told me that you’re one hell of a genius!”

Genevieve frowned and asked. “Whoever has such a good eye?”

Jacinta grinned and replied, “You know who they are. Well, then, the contract is settled for the time being. We’ll discuss it further once the lawyer has gone through it.
