Replacement Bride Left With His Baby (Sophia and Easton) novel Chapter 141

141 Chapter 141

141.Chapter 141

Sophia patted Grace’s hand and said, “I get it, Grace, really. I’m not blaming you-I just want to keep things clear between Easton and me.”

Grace kept quiet, but inside, she was filled with helpless regret. She thought, ‘After everything Mrs. Irene Foster did behind the scenes, Easton and Sophia’s relationship is still as tense as ever!

Just as Sophia was leaving, Easton showed up. He walked into the hospital room, checked on Irene, and talked with the doctor about how she was doing. Still, there was no sign she’d wake up anytime soon. Easton stood by the bed and spotted some flowers arranged neatly on the table. “Did Sophia drop by today?” he asked.

Grace handed him a cup of coffee and said, “Yes, Ms. Roth just left before you came in.”

Noticing that Grace had suddenly switched to calling Sophia “Ms. Roth,” Easton asked no questions; he assumed it was what Sophia wanted.

He said, “Take it easy for now, Grace. If there’s any change with Grandma, reach out to me right away.”

Grace nodded and said, “Understood, Mr. Foster.”

After he left the hospital, Easton sat in his car, cigarette between his fingers. He pulled out his phone, thinking about calling Sophia.

But after staring at her name on the screen for a while, he sighed. In the end, he just couldn’t bring himself to dial.

Tomorrow was the big decision day for the southern development project, and Easton figured Sophia had her hands full. With a resigned shake of his head, he tucked his phone away and headed straight back to Foster Group.

Gordon had been called back to work on short notice. He said, “Mr. Foster, here are the materials for tomorrow’s final selection. Is it still possible to make changes at this point?”

Easton reached for the ashtray and tapped his cigarette. He said, “I’m not looking to revise the proposal. Draft a new partnership agreement instead. Take down the details now, and send me the finalized version when you’ re done.”

Gordon looked genuinely confused. He thought, ‘So Mr. Foster wants to team up with Crestview Group? But didn’t we already pitch this idea before? And Mr. Roth flat-out turned us down!’

For a moment, Gordon couldn’t quite figure out what Easton was up to.

Jenston had been drenched in rain all night, and by morning, Sophia was up and out early.

Emily pulled up in her car to pick Sophia up at Grandview Estate,

Right on the dot at nine, they arrived at the Jenston government conference building.

When they walked into the meeting room, the other shortlisted companies were already there. Easton and his team were seated right up front.

As soon as Sophia walked in, she could immediately sense how heavy the atmosphere was.

Feeling the nerves all around, Sophia stayed razor-sharp, refusing to relax even for a moment. She and Emily settled into the very last row, quietly going over their documents, making sure everything was perfect for the submission.

Easton sat in the front row, flipping through the paperwork.

Gordon leaned in beside him and whispered, “Ms. Roth’s here-she’s sitting at the back.”

Easton nodded, keeping his cool and showing nothing on his face.

They drew lots on the spot, and Crestview Group ended up going first.

Sophia took a quick look at the schedule-Foster Group was last, and the presenter listed was Easton himself.

Sophia could feel the pressure mounting. Sure, there were a few other companies in the running, but her biggest rival was Easton.

Soon enough, the bidding was underway.

Sophia walked up, skipped all the flowery speech, and got straight to business-she put the blueprints up for everyone to see, bringing out a plan to turn Jenston into the next world-class cruise destination, complete with a top-tier international resort.

Instantly, everyone in the room was drawn in. Even Easton did a double-take, genuine surprise flitting across

his eyes.
