Who's Crying Now, Ex-Husband? novel Chapter 78

"Do you have any shame left?"

If they hadn't initially said it was for Mila, Jade wouldn't have taken on the project, no matter how big it was!

And to personally design and create it?

Neither Giselle nor even Lysander had enough influence for such a privilege.

Lysander maintained his composure, speaking calmly, "Mrs. Sutherland, I believe you must be mistaken. I never gave a direct response back then."

When the staff asked if it was for a postponed wedding with Mila, he merely smiled and sipped his tea without answering.

How others interpreted his actions was not his concern.

"Bang!"

Jade slammed her hand on the table, her eyes fierce, causing the teacups to tremble. "Lysander, are you trying to humiliate me?"

Lysander replied coolly, "I said with the Montgomery family's backing, Giselle has the qualifications. It was Mrs. Sutherland who was unreasonable first."

"Oh," Jade chuckled, "so there's no room for negotiation?"

Lysander remained silent.

The two sat in tense silence for several minutes until the door suddenly swung open.

Leonard, standing outside, attempted to enter but was blocked by the guard at the door. After a brief scuffle, he disarmed the first assailant, but the rest still barred his entry.

Jade didn't spare a glance at the door, merely stating coldly, "If you have something to say, speak from outside."

Leonard looked at Lysander, fists clenched, waiting for orders.

"Go ahead," Lysander said casually.
