Remarried Wife: She will Remarry, But Another Person-Chapter 175: Will You Come With Me?

Josee Sheffield, of course, recognized the protective undertones and the warning in his words.

But would he be afraid?

He sneered and said, "Oh, but how do I remember that when the incident occurred, the Hawthorne Group severed ties with Brooke? They even fired her, saying it was to set an example.

Now they’re saying she’s just a member of the crew.

President Hawthorne, you’re the president after all. Isn’t this statement contradictory?

Or are you saying... the Hawthorne Group has always been practicing hypocrisy? Could it be that the theft incident was also condoned by you?"

Jordan Hawthorne’s brows furrowed with anger, his aura dropped suddenly, as if he was completely infuriated, "Josee Sheffield, speak more politely. Some false statements require a price."

Josee Sheffield replied with a roguish grin, "Sorry, can’t be more polite. Regarding theft, a corporate crime, I believe no company can forget it.

Besides, I haven’t smeared or slandered anyone. I’m just speaking the truth. Or maybe, President Hawthorne, can’t you handle the truth..."

Josee Sheffield’s words sparked discussions among the surrounding guests.

Everyone thought he made a very valid point.

"President Hawthorne’s actions are indeed contradictory. It seems he truly pampers his little lover."

"Hah, I think it’s disgusting, isn’t it? Bringing the mistress right in front of President Hayes, clearly to spite her!"

"Really treats people like fools, doesn’t he? The incident was so publicized back then, pushing all the blame on one person, does that absolve the real instigator?"

"They say it’s someone else, but where does a small employee get the courage to commit commercial crime?"

"Exactly, how can someone with such poor conduct appear at the banquet hall? Can she be kicked out?"

The voices of discussion around grew louder.

Brooke stood still, so furious she almost ground her teeth to pieces.

Her plan for tonight was utterly disrupted by Josee Sheffield!

Just as the atmosphere became tense, Secretary Lynch arrived.

Seeing everyone gathered, he curiously asked, "What’s going on?"

"Secretary Lynch."

Everyone greeted him quickly, explaining the situation.

After listening, Secretary Lynch realized what was happening.

He instinctively glanced at Jordan Hawthorne and, out of respect for him, didn’t make any moves to expel anyone.

He merely smoothed things over, saying, "This grand gathering today, there’s no need for everyone’s mood to be spoiled by insignificant people. I had something to handle earlier, please excuse my neglect. Moving forward, I must accompany you all for a drink...

President Sheffield, President Hayes, come. I have important matters to discuss with you, could we step aside for a moment?"

While saying this, Secretary Lynch’s expression turned eager.

Josee Sheffield seemed to sense something and didn’t continue to antagonize.

As for Sabrina, who hadn’t spoken the entire time, she had no intention of staying behind to entangle with Brooke, so she spoke up, "Sure, please lead the way."

Secretary Lynch enthusiastically led them away.

The remaining guests, seeing this, were invigorated.

Judging by Secretary Lynch’s attitude, could it be about discussing the quota matters???

Everyone’s attention shifted along.

No one paid any more attention to Brooke and Jordan.

People dispersed in small groups, starting to discuss the companies that might be selected.

Seeing this scene, Brooke felt it was even more unbearable than being kicked out.

She could feel the indifference and disdain from those present, making her feel like she was sitting on pins and needles...

Poppy Yates witnessed everything.

She chuckled lightly, Secretary Lynch’s move was indeed clever.

With one phrase ’insignificant people,’ Brooke was left hanging, and for someone who always valued face like Brooke, it was simply worse than death.

Sabrina wouldn’t waste her thoughts on Brooke and her group.

She followed along with Josee Sheffield and Secretary Lynch.

Once they were away from the crowd, Secretary Lynch apologetically spoke, "Today’s event, the oversight allowed irrelevant people to enter, disturbing your enjoyment. I am truly sorry."

"It’s nothing, you said it yourself, they are just insignificant people."

Sabrina shook her head lightly, not really concerned.

Josee Sheffield waved his hand, "Look at you, you didn’t blame me for disturbing the atmosphere, and that’s good enough." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

"President Sheffield, you acted with loyalty. How could I blame you? Alright, let’s not waste words."

Secretary Lynch smiled and quickly got to the point, directly handing over a business card, "Congratulations, N.Z. Tech has been included in the cooperation list.

When you return, someone from the top will contact you for further discussions, and the cooperation documents will be delivered."

Josee Sheffield and Sabrina didn’t expect this matter to be settled so quickly, both were invigorated.

Josee Sheffield accepted the business card with a smile, "Thank you, Secretary Lynch, it is our honor."

Sabrina also cheerfully said, "Thank you, Secretary Lynch, for giving us this opportunity."

Secretary Lynch waved his hand with a smile, saying, "President Hayes and President Sheffield are outstanding individuals, I believe you will surely develop even more brilliant products in the future. You deserve this..."

After a pleasant conversation, they shook hands.

Then, Secretary Lynch continued to chat with several others, handing out a business card each time.

The guests present were all very attentive to Secretary Lynch. Seeing this, everyone had an idea.

These business cards were essentially like a door opener.

The companies that received slots were envied by those who did not get a card, but there was no jealousy.

After all, these companies indeed had the strength.

Moreover, as conversations with Secretary Lynch continued, everyone learned that there would be more admission plans like this in the future.

Not just this time, if their product makes a breakthrough, there will be opportunities in the future.

Thus, the banquet ended with both hosts and guests enjoying themselves.

The only person who wasn’t pleased was the invisible Brooke Sinclairs.

Although Jordan Hawthorne wasn’t as mortified, being exposed by Josee Sheffield tonight made him lose face.

Moreover, due to the earlier incident, he also sensed the coldness from the people present at the event.

In fact, even companies inferior to The Hawthorne Group had received Secretary Lynch’s business card.

Yet, The Hawthorne Group walked away with nothing.

At this moment, Jordan Hawthorne couldn’t help but glance at Sabrina Hayes.

The person he once looked down upon was now surrounded by everyone... like a star.

Not only did all the guests surround her, but even Secretary Lynch treated her with respect and deference.

The stark contrast filled Jordan Hawthorne’s heart with mixed emotions!

Sabrina was unaware of what Jordan was thinking, and she couldn’t even be bothered to glance his way.

Having dealt with the guests tonight, she had exhausted all her energy.

After all, these were rare connections.

By the end of it, she was feeling a bit dizzy from the drinks.

Even though she had taken Hangover Prevention Medicine in advance and both Josee and Poppy helped fend off some drinks, the tipsy feeling was still unbearable for her.

"Sorry, I need to visit the restroom."

She quickly found an excuse to get away.

Unexpectedly, when she came out after washing her hands, she saw someone unforeseen.

It was... Jasper Fitzgerald!

Sabrina almost couldn’t believe it.

Without the dim lighting of the summit, she could clearly see the man’s features now.

He wore a perfectly fitted black suit, his shirt buttoned up to the top, an impeccable presence exuding an air of elegance, significantly less cold than before, looking so handsome it took her breath away.

Behind him were Nash Spencer and a bodyguard.

Seeing Sabrina, the man had a gentle expression, asking with concern, "Are you okay?"

Sabrina blinked slowly, wondering if she was drunk and seeing things.

Jasper, seeing her not responding, approached with a smile, "Drunk?"

Sabrina lifted the corners of her mouth joyfully, shaking her head, "Not drunk, just a little dizzy. Mr. Fitzgerald, you haven’t left yet?"

Jasper nodded, "I was about to leave, but since you’re here, I thought of giving you a ride home."

"Ah?"

Sabrina hesitated for a moment, saying, "But... the banquet hall isn’t over yet."

Jasper said softly, "Just a matter of saying goodbye, want to come with me? Or go back and continue drinking?"

Hearing the words ’continue drinking,’ Sabrina instinctively shook her head, "No going back, I don’t want to drink; the alcohol isn’t good at all, and the people are too enthusiastic, it’s a bit... overwhelming."

Jasper found her demeanor a bit endearing.

He chuckled, "Then let’s go back, don’t force yourself to adapt if you don’t like it."

"Hmm, you’re right!"

Sabrina nodded, seemingly convinced, she said without hesitation, "Then I’ll go with you!"

"Alright."

Jasper nodded, and the two of them left the conference venue side by side.

As soon as they got outside, a cold breeze struck, making Sabrina shiver inevitably.

The earlier alcohol had already affected her, and now it made her head feel even lighter.

While stepping down the stairs, she nearly missed a step.

"Careful!"

Luckily, at the critical moment, a large hand caught her waist, holding her securely.

"Are you alright?"

Jasper asked with concern.

Sabrina responded slowly with a "mm," then shook her head, "I’m fine..."

Even though she said so, Jasper could see that her gaze was somewhat unfocused.

This was the appearance of someone slightly drunk.

Jasper hesitated for a few seconds, continuing to ask, "Can you still walk?"

Sabrina nodded, "I can..."

After finally standing straight, she stood there dazed, not moving.

Jasper, noticing this, draped his coat over her.

Sabrina felt the overwhelming warmth, the coat carried Mr. Fitzgerald’s faint cedar scent, and she smirked sweetly, saying, "I’m not cold anymore..."

Jasper looked deeply at her before retracting his gaze, telling her, "Let’s go, hold onto my arm."

"Oh."

Sabrina was adorably compliant, gripping his clothing with both hands, and followed along.

Just a few steps later, another situation arose.

Her high heel got stuck in the gap of the drainage grate, and she couldn’t pull her foot out.

Sabrina looked at Jasper pitifully, saying, "Now, I really can’t walk... What should we do?"
