Chapter 115: Chapter 115
As the words fell, Sean Carter turned on the projector, and on it were headline news about the incident, sliding downwards, the expressions on the directors’ faces grew increasingly strange. The person who spoke first even snickered coldly, wondering if Sienna Quinn had lost her senses to release this.
"We’ve seen these news from President Quinn long ago. With such occurrences, how can we trust you? The deal with HR Group must not have any glitches, better to believe in its existence than not."
No matter what, Sienna Quinn must exit the project group today.
All eyes were on Sienna Quinn, facing their decisions, what could Sienna do? Nothing at all.
Sienna merely smiled faintly, signaling Sean Carter to continue scrolling down.
Upon clicking refresh, a new message suddenly appeared on the forum, and its popularity soared.
"This is the latest statement from Lawson Group." Sean Carter scrolled the mouse wheel to present the latest statement to the directors.
The directors looked at each other, suddenly realizing things had turned unexpectedly.
Nolan Shaw lifted his hand from the keyboard, nodding at Landon Lawson, "President Lawson, the statement has been released."
Landon Lawson returned to the company and immediately sent out the statement.
Shortly after the statement was released, Miles Grant arrived at Landon Lawson’s place. Nolan Shaw tactfully left Landon Lawson’s office, closing the door behind him.
The man lifted his head, looking at Miles Grant before him, the perpetually cold-faced Landon Lawson surprisingly showed a hint of smile.
"How come you have time to see me, busy man?"
"With my son being made public, how could I, as a brother, not come to see it?" Miles Grant’s eyes bent with his smile, though wearing gold-framed glasses, his eyes narrowed into a line still made him feel uncomfortable.
Miles Grant sat opposite Landon Lawson, looking gentle and harmless.
Landon Lawson chuckled slightly, "Now that you know I’ve announced my son, shouldn’t you prepare too? You’re not young, it’s time to settle down."
Seeing an old acquaintance, Landon Lawson became more talkative.
Miles Grant waved his hand repeatedly, pleading, "Forget it, I still want to remain single, I wish not to be tied down by a wife and kids."
Landon Lawson glanced deeply at Miles Grant, only smiling faintly, "Is it that you don’t want to find someone or you have someone in mind?"
The teasing gaze made Miles Grant’s pupils contract.
"Alright, let’s discuss the real issue."
Miles Grant lightly coughed, changing the topic, Landon Lawson naturally knew what the real issue was today, his brow furrowed, and a layer of hesitation appeared over his normally indifferent gaze.
"About this matter, I wanted to speak with you."
"What’s up? Wasn’t the HR Group matter a must-achieve?" Despite being a doctor, Miles Grant has always personally handled the dealings between Grant Group and Lawson Group with Landon Lawson.
"I intend to abandon cooperation with HR Group!"
Landon Lawson’s voice was undisturbed, like discussing a trivial matter.
Miles Grant’s gaze shifted slightly, still bearing a smile at the corners of his eyes, and he calmly said, "Alright!"
Landon Lawson looked at the man who never asked him why, his voice becoming a bit deeper, "Why don’t you ask me the reason?"
"Cooperating with HR Group would be the first step for Lawson and Grant Groups to international expansion, it’s the most valued business this year for the two companies, but since you wish to abandon the cooperation, surely you have your rationale, do I still need to ask?"
Miles Grant’s face always bore a smile, always gentle and refined, no matter what was said, he agreed without question. Yet the more he did so, it seemed exceptionally cold.
"From childhood to now, no matter what decisions I make, you always support me."
"Because we’re brothers."
Miles Grant smiled, glanced at the expensive watch on his wrist, and reluctantly frowned, "Since you’ve decided, I’ll persuade those stubborn folks at home, even if we don’t enter the world this time, there’s always next time, my lunch break is too short, I have to go back for surgery now." Miles Grant shrugged helplessly.
"Not inheriting the family business, always saying he wants to be a doctor, offering charitable medical services." Landon Lawson shrugged. Updates are released by novel•fire.net
"That’s been my dream since childhood."
Miles Grant took a deep breath and turned to leave Landon Lawson’s office.
Right as he turned, the smile at Miles Grant’s mouth gradually grew sinister, and those smiling eyes filled with coldness.
HR Group’s partnership was something Landon Lawson had longed for, to say nothing of the must-have demeanor, yet suddenly declared he wanted to give up today—could it be because of Sienna Quinn?
Miles Grant stood at the elevator, with a ding, the elevator door slowly opened, only to see Nolan Shaw coming out of it.
Miles Grant smiled at Nolan Shaw, the two brushed past, then suddenly turned around, calling out to Nolan.
The latter looked at Miles Grant with confusion, unaware of his purpose.
"Dr. Grant, are you looking for me?"
"Just now Landon told me he wants to abandon the cooperation with HR Group."
Nolan Shaw sighed, didn’t expect Landon Lawson to decide to give up at the end.
Looking at Nolan Shaw’s look, Miles Grant’s eyes turned, suddenly asking, "It’s because of Sienna, right?"
"Ah, I advised President Lawson before, but he just wouldn’t listen." Nolan Shaw shook his head helplessly, if this HR cooperation were abandoned now, the next chance wouldn’t be known when.
Miles Grant’s lips curled into a shadowy arc, turns out it’s because of Sienna, when did this woman gain such importance in his heart?
Previously he avoided her, now not only acknowledged his son but also handed over company’s interests.
"Cut! Very good, Vera, you managed every take in one go. If more actors were as dedicated and talented as you, it would be wonderful."
"She’s a film queen, acting is a breeze for Miss Vance." The director and assistant director praised Vera Yates, making Vera blush with shyness.
"The director’s filming was excellent." Vera Yates jokingly said.
The assistant draped a coat over Vera Yates and escorted her to the side to rest.
"Miss Vance, the online news has been sent out, but President Lawson already released a statement over there."
"What statement?" Anything about Landon Lawson mattered to Vera Yates.
The assistant handed the phone to Vera Yates, seeing the statement, her lips subtly curved with satisfaction, she got the result she wanted.
Although unclear why Sienna Quinn suddenly changed her personality, but given her current attitude to Landon Lawson, she absolutely wouldn’t announce their un-divorced status.
As long as this statement goes out, she’ll remain Landon Lawson’s nominal girlfriend.
