chapter 104
“You don’t have to explain it to me. I won’t be getting a divorce with Sebastian. It’s impossible for you and I to be together. So, please don’t look for me ever again.”
Lillian solemnly rejected Lionel, and everyone was in disbelief.
At that moment, Elijah walked up to her. “Lillian, don’t be stubborn. Mr. Lionel is so impressive, and he’s way better than that plece of trash. He also loves you deeply. You shouldn’t take it for granted. After the event is over, get a divorce immediately.”
Evelyn quickly added, “Your grandpa is right. After you get a divorce, Jer’s pick a date for you and Mr. Lionel to get engaged.”
“I won’t marry him, so don’t force me.” Lilian was frustrated.
“Lillian, you know the situation our family is in right now. That piece of trash can’t help at all. However, Mr. Lionel is different. If you get engaged to him, I’m sure Mr. Lionel will help us.”
Elijah knew Lillian’s personality, so he started using emotional appeal and morall grounds to support his argument,
Lionel said with a smile, “Of course! Ms. Lisbon, please give Mr. Smith the contract.”
The secretary, Helen Lisbon, handed the document in her hand to Eljah. When he read it, he was over the moon. “This is from Phoenix Corporation! Mr. Lionel, are you part of that company now?”
Helen said proudly, “Mr. Lionel is the head of the project department at Phoenix Corporation”
The crowd’s mind was blown.
“As expected of Mr. Lionel He’s really awesome. I can’t believe he has joined Phoenix Corporation and even became the bead of the project department. That’s the highest level of management in that corporation.”
“Phoenix Corporation is still the world’s top company. Even if he’s only in charge of one project, he would still be considered a great figure. Even the four prestigious families would have to respect him.”
“That goes without saying. He’s the head of the project department, and he holds a lot of power. Any family can partner up with Phoenix Corporation as long as they have a good relationship with him. It would be difficult to lay low.”
Everyone in the crowd looked envious, and the women were in love. They wanted to throw themselves at Lionel so badly and volunteer to take Lillian’s place.
Lionel said proudly, “That’s an order from Phoenix Corporation that’s worth a billion. Consider that as a welcome gift. After I get married to Lillian, I’ll give you another order that’s over three billion. The opportunities will never stop.”
“Thank you so much, Mr. Lionell Elijah was ecstatic. With a grandson–in–law like Lionel, the Smith family could make a comeback soon.
Lionel looked at Sebastian. “Hey, kid, do you see how great the differences between us are now? Know your limits and get a divorce yourself. I can give you enough money to live Lavishly for the rest of your life”
Sebastian smiled meaningfully. “You’ve just said you’re the head of the project department at Phoenix Corporation. In that case, why haven’t seen you before?
“Who do you think you are? Why do you need to know if I’m the bead of the project department Lionel’s face was full of disdain.
Evelyn quickly explained, “Mr. Lionel, he used to be a security guard at Phoenix Corporation.”
“Oh, so you used to be a watchdog at our company, huh? Lionel added scotully, “I’ve only joined the company two days ago, so it’s normal for you to not have seen me before. What do you think? Have you considered my offer just now?”
Sebastian smiled mockingly “You sure are arrogant for being just a little head of the project department. How ridiculous.”
“How dare you!
Lionel yelled in frustration, “Being the head of the project department is one of the highest positions in the company. With my capabilities, I’ll be promoted to become the vice president in no time. I might even have the chance to become the president in the future. But you? You’re just a watchdog.
“Wait. Seeing how you’re crippled, you don’t even have the right to become a watchdog!”
Evelyn quickly said, “Mr. Lionel has a point. He’s the real man here, and you’re nothing but a disgusting bug!”
The crowd slowly agreed to what they were saying
Sebastian chuckled. “Phoenix Corporation doesn’t need people of low quality. You’re fired.”
