Substitute Wife, Genius CEO novel Chapter 340

Furthermore, they were deeply concerned that the new project manager wouldn't measure up to Lilith, potentially sabotaging the projects and hurting their companies' bottom lines.

They immediately pressed Lilith for an explanation.

Lilith gave a perfectly crafted, vague response, implying that someone within the company had ruthlessly stolen her projects. She played the victim, claiming her hands were tied and that she had essentially laid the groundwork for someone else's success.

She then subtly hinted that if they firmly refused the change in leadership, the projects couldn't be taken from her.

Anyone who had survived this long in the corporate world was incredibly shrewd.

Hearing her implications, the three managers immediately took a stand.

The first manager stated firmly, "If you're replacing the project manager, then my company will have to withdraw from this partnership. We only agreed because Mr. Sterling personally recommended you."

The second manager chimed in, "Exactly. We're doing business with Sutton Group solely out of respect for you, Manager Sutton. You can't just swap the lead out on a whim."

The third manager added, "My company also refuses to accept a leadership change. If Sutton Group insists on this, we'll terminate the partnership."

This was exactly the reaction Lilith had orchestrated. Did Summer really think she could steal her projects? Keep dreaming!

If the clients refused the transfer, Summer couldn't force them into submission.

This was secretly one of the main reasons Xavier had agreed to hand the projects over in the first place.

Lilith sent an assistant to summon Bennett and Summer to the room.

When they arrived, she relayed the three managers' absolute refusal to work with anyone else.

Bennett didn't immediately take a stance. He turned to Summer and asked, "Summer, how do you want to handle this? They've made it clear they won't accept you as the lead. Why don't we just leave these three projects with Lilith?"

The three project managers stared at Summer in absolute shock. "?!"

The replacement manager was Summer?!

Why hadn't Lilith mentioned that?!

If she had just told them, they would have signed off on the change instantly. After all, this was Pax.

Pax was the hottest name in the industry right now. Any tech firm that announced a partnership with her would see their stock skyrocket overnight.

But they had already given Lilith their word that they wouldn't accept a change. Retracting it now would mean directly offending Xavier.

And no matter what, Lilith was still the wife of the Sterling Group's CEO.

The three managers' faces turned grim as the realization hit them: Lilith had used them as pawns.

Summer didn't say a word. Instead, she laid out several thick folders containing comprehensive evaluation reports, analytical breakdowns, and detailed execution plans for all three projects.

"Why don't you take a look at these before making a final decision? If you feel my proposals are inferior to Manager Sutton's, I certainly won't force the partnership."

Lilith stared in disbelief as Summer casually produced the detailed files.

She had only agreed to transfer the projects last night, and by today she already had flawless analysis reports and full strategic plans ready?!
