The Billionaire's Pretend Wife (Isabella) novel Chapter 65

The next day, Grace called Isabelle to her office. When the director told her that her design had been re-adopted by the Green Leaf Company, she couldn’t believe it.

Yesterday, when Naomi left, she threatened that she would ask her boyfriend to cancel the collaboration with the Larson Group.

Isabelle had thought that the CEO of Green Leaf would do as his girlfriend requested. She knew how much Naomi would like to have her way after the way Jason had humiliated her before the entire department.

“I’m so happy to hear that,” she thanked Grace. “I didn’t think the project would be going on anymore.”

“Mr Del Mundo talked to the chairman of the group of companies Green Leaf belongs to, and he handled the matter. The chairman demoted Green Leaf’s CEO for the mishandling of the project and for involving his girlfriend. So he is no longer involved in the decision making, and most importantly, neither is she.”

“That’s great,” Isabelle said, surprised at how everything had been handled. From the vice president storming into the meeting and asking Naomi to leave, to him having her CEO boyfriend demoted.

How had he gotten wind of the matter in the first place? Maybe Grace had told him what happened after they went to the Green Leaf Company the other day.

But Isabelle couldn’t remember Naomi mentioning that Arnold was her boyfriend that day. So, even if Grace had expressed her concerns about Green Leaf’s demands, how had Jason Del Mundo found out that Naomi was just a girlfriend of the CEO, and did not have a position at the company? Because he must have known before storming the meeting.

“Thank you,” she told the director, “if it were not for you, this matter would not have been resolved.”

“What do you mean?” Grace asked her. “I would love to say I had a hand in this, but I didn’t. It was the vice president who found out about that woman’s true identity. Had I known she was just an imposter from the beginning, I would have dealt with it earlier.”

Isabelle frowned. “So, it wasn’t you who told Mr Del Mundo about what happened at the company?”

Grace shook her head. “No. Actually, I was going to ask you if you knew the vice president personally before you entered the Larson Group. He seemed very concerned about the matter, and did everything he could to punish that CEO and get your rightful place back on the project.”

Isabelle shook her head, feeling even more confused. “No, I didn’t.”

If the department director had not told Jason about what happened, how did he find out about it, then?

Grace nodded and gave her a smile. “Well, it’s all in the past now. What’s important is that we can now go on with this project without any unnecessary drama. You can now go back to work.”

“Thank you, director,” Isabelle thanked her once more and left her office.

After that short meeting, she couldn’t put the matter of how Jason had handled the case out of her mind.

Green Leaf were within their rights to approve or reject whichever drafts they received from the Larson Group. After all, it was their product in development, and they had the final say. The Larson Group was simply their designing partner. That was why Grace had given in to their demands and sent a draft she didn’t approve.

So, unless Jason personally knew about her sister’s scheme with the CEO, there was no way he would have interfered with their handling of the project.

So, how had he come to find out? Was he keeping an eye on her? Like, paying attention to what she did? The same way that Mr Grayson had?

She shuddered at the thought. No. She was overthinking. He must have an assistant or subordinate who kept an extra eye out on the happenings regarding company workers.

Or maybe he had heard from someone about how Green Leaf had rejected a draft from the Larson Group–something that never happened–got curious, and fished around for information. That made sense.
