Chapter 114: Chapter 114

"Here, write a letter of guarantee!" Sienna Quinn was the first to write the agreement between the two on a piece of paper with an eyebrow pencil, finally signing her name, then applying lipstick on her thumb and leaving a fingerprint on the paper.

Landon Lawson squinted at Sienna, watching as she handed over the eyebrow pencil and lipstick, raising her eyebrows arrogantly: "Your turn." This content belongs to novelꜰire.net

"Alright, you’ve got a nerve."

Landon let out a cold snort but still followed Sienna’s request to sign and leave his fingerprint.

Looking at the paper with the completed handprint, a charming smile finally curved on Sienna’s lips. It seemed that this time, the cooperation with HR Group had to be secured no matter what.

The beautiful smile blossomed on the woman’s exquisite face, leaving Landon momentarily dazed, his heart pounding away, unlike any workout in the gym. What was happening? Was he infatuated?

Why was she so beautiful?

Landon had never felt this kind of attraction towards Sienna before.

For a while, there was no sound from the man. Sienna glanced at him, feeling a bit awkward under his gaze, and lightly coughed before saying to Landon: "I hope we can both issue a statement that we’re divorced and have no relations other than being parents for the sake of our child’s growth."

Landon squinted at Sienna, pursing his lips: "Are you really just worried about your prestige in the company?"

"Believe it or not!" Sienna carefully placed the letter of guarantee into her backpack and turned to leave.

Landon watched the woman’s departing figure, and a smile slowly curved on his lips, surprisingly feeling quite happy.

After the two parted ways, Sienna returned to the company. Her years of experience told her that something was amiss with the company’s atmosphere, like many people were paying attention to her.

As soon as Sienna returned to the office, she saw Sean Carter waiting inside for a long time: "Why did you come back so late? The company is in turmoil now."

"In turmoil?" Sienna raised her eyebrows, clearly not expecting the rapid development of events. The fact that Evan Quinn’s biological mother was her had already been exposed online. Now the two companies were in competition, and Sienna, the project leader, turned out to be Landon’s ex-wife, and the two even had a child together.

After Sienna’s identity was exposed, even photos of the four of them going to the amusement park last Thursday were revealed.

Sienna was instantly in the eye of the storm.

"Now everyone in the company has a grievance against you, saying you’ll intentionally fail in the bidding with HR Group." Sean Carter hadn’t expected that after waking up, such a thing would happen, and at that time, Sienna had already gone to confront Landon face-to-face.

"Grievances?" Sienna frowned slightly. Indeed, as she expected, once people knew she and Landon had a child, they would surely make a fuss. Those with ulterior motives would seize this opportunity, eager to bring her down.

"Your prestige is already in trouble now."

Just after Sienna had left, the company’s discussions were endless, with some even saying that HR Group hadn’t been secured because they were facing the Lawson Group.

Everyone had already assumed that Sienna and Landon’s old relationship had rekindled.

"What does the board think?"

Although her prestige might be affected, it’s the board that truly holds sway over the situation.

When it came to the board, Sean Carter’s expression was a bit strange, "No one can contact Axel Yates! If they can’t reach President Yates, they will convene by themselves. At best, they might make you step down from the project team. At worst, they might suspend your work as last time."

Can’t reach him? Sienna suddenly raised her eyes. Knowing the company’s rumors about her, Sienna hadn’t shown unease, having already anticipated it.

But Axel Yates suddenly disappearing was beyond Sienna’s expectations.

Those beautiful eyes gradually deepened; it was said that Axel Yates went to the France subsidiary, but Sienna had already video-called with Chiara Thorne; Axel hadn’t gone to the subsidiary at all.

That was merely his excuse, but where exactly had he gone?

Instantly, Sienna became curious. What exactly was this man doing to keep it so secret?

"Call a board meeting!" Sienna thought for a long time before deciding. It echoed for a long time.

Sean Carter was taken aback, "Your current situation is grim. The board is infuriated with you, and with the previous issue being raised again, convening now is detrimental to you."

"Just do as I say." Sienna said firmly, her bright eyes extraordinarily resolute, and her smile, instead, bore a unique charm.

Looking at those bright eyes, Sean Carter was momentarily lost, then smiled. He had seen this confident smile for many years, witnessing how the once timid girl grew confident and strong.

Over the years, all difficulties were overcome step by step, even starting from the grassroots when first joining the Yates Group’s France subsidiary.

Felix Orwell was keen to help her at that time, but Sienna chose to make her own way.

This very look convinced Felix Orwell and Sean Carter.

And indeed, she didn’t disappoint her friends.

"Alright, I’ll go right away."

A two-hour later, board members had arrived, looking at each other face to face, yet Axel Yates was yet unseen.

"Without President Yates, who convened this board?" An older gentleman spoke up, looking displeased.

Everyone shook their heads. When things happened, they took the initiative to contact Axel Yates, hoping to prevent Sienna from interfering with HR Group’s business, fearing she’d err when facing Landon.

But the call never went through, and still, no one had reached him.

Creak! The conference room door opened, and everyone turned to look at the two people walking in simultaneously.

It was Sienna and Sean Carter.

"Where is President Yates?"

"President Yates is in France handling subsidiary matters." Sienna smiled at everyone, sitting casually in her seat.

The directors looked at each other in surprise, realizing it wasn’t Axel Yates. Could it have been Sienna? Everyone’s expressions became a bit peculiar.

Sienna smiled, sat upright, and placed her hands on the table.

"I called everyone to clarify my relationship with Landon Lawson."

"Relationship? What’s there to clarify? A happy family of three, he’s our rival, yet you’re the project lead. Who knows if you’ll tank the project." A director responded coldly, his words unkind.

"I’ve worked at Yates Group for so long, and the benefits I’ve brought to the company are evident to everyone, not to mention, my relationship with Landon isn’t what everyone thinks it is."
