Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom novel Chapter 1528

I was taken aback and glanced at my phone. It showed an unfamiliar number. I answered, asking, "Who is this?"

"Looks like you’re really busy, Mrs. Chloe. This is Lance," came the warm and gentle voice from the other end.

I focused immediately. "Mr. Lance, do you... have something to say?"

"Forgive the intrusion, Mrs. Chloe." The voice sounded pleasantly amused. "Could we meet? I'd like to discuss a collaboration with you."

"What kind of collaboration are you talking about?" I asked calmly.

After recent events, my impression of the Sunny family had hit rock bottom.

His approach immediately reminded me of his brother.

"The project in Solaris," Lance stated bluntly, sounding confident and assured.

"The project in Solaris?" I repeated with skepticism as my heart tightened suddenly.

"I believe you might not be able to proceed with the Solaris project, given your current situation. I wonder if you have any other ideas," Lance added, perhaps sensing my hesitation over the phone. "There are alternative ways to accomplish it that are easier and more discreet. Wouldn’t that be better?"

"Haha," I laughed disdainfully. "Mr. Lance, the way you put it, it's as if my project in Solaris is something to be ashamed of. What makes you think that way?"

I scoffed inwardly. How despicable. They were attempting to snatch the project from every angle without a trace.

"How about we meet and discuss this further?" Lance urged. "Some things can't be explained over the phone."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Lance, but as you know, I haven’t been free to go out recently. I've delegated all company business to Ryan. But your proposed collaboration... is unlikely to work out. I don't have any other ideas right now." I rejected his proposal.
