Substitute Wife, Genius CEO novel Chapter 241

Harrison Banks wanted to see just how capable this homewrecker actually was.

Rubbing his teacup, Harrison said, "I believe you've all reviewed the project materials, and Mr. Whitmore has spent the entire day briefing you. Lead Sutton, as the head of technical research, I need you to send me a detailed and precise project proposal by noon tomorrow. Can you handle that?"

Though the timeframe was tight—only leaving her the morning—Sterling Group wasn't lacking in talent.

It was just a simple proposal.

Lily Sutton didn't see it as a problem and smiled. "Of course, Professor Banks. I'll have the project proposal in your inbox before noon tomorrow."

Having successfully secured Harrison's contact information, Lily radiated newfound confidence and became the life of the dinner party.

Xavier Sterling sat beside her, quietly placing food on her plate and peeling her shrimp. He occasionally chimed in but never stole her spotlight.

Anyone could see how much he cherished her, willing to play the supportive background role.

Harrison found the sight nauseating and lost his appetite. Mid-meal, he pretended to take a phone call, claimed an emergency, and left the table early.

Only Summer Vance, who was seated next to him, noticed his phone screen was completely black. No one had called him.

The stubborn old man was likely just annoyed by Xavier.

Summer pursed her lips and exchanged a knowing glance with Gavin Loomis. The two smoothly made an excuse to leave the dinner early so they could take the old man somewhere else to eat.

He definitely hadn't eaten enough.

Lily watched them quietly.

The moment Professor Banks left, they were hot on his heels.

The reason was obvious—Summer was bitter about losing the team lead position.

She was probably egging Gavin on to play peacemaker and put in a good word for her.

At that thought, Lily's smile widened. Summer was nothing special; she only knew how to use men to get through the back door.

Did she even have the skills to back it up?
