Wrong Love, Final Goodbye: She'll Never Look Back-Chapter 341: He Never Expected to Bow His Head to Tanya Sinclair

Chapter 341: Chapter 341: He Never Expected to Bow His Head to Tanya Sinclair

Harrison Langdon only knew Vincent Hawthorne, and had no impression of Rhys Lucas, but seeing his unfriendly attitude towards Tanya Sinclair, Harrison Langdon took half a step forward and spoke bluntly.

"Mr. Lucas, is it? My junior sister is not only a consultant recommended by Professor Carter, but also the expert consultant your Lucas Family repeatedly requested for."

Rhys Lucas forced a smile, his tone sarcastic: "So Ms. Sinclair is that impressive, huh."

His attitude made Harrison Langdon even more displeased.

"You!"

"Senior brother."

Tanya Sinclair tugged at him, looking at Rhys Lucas in the car.

"If Mr. Lucas sincerely wants to cooperate, then let’s discuss business and keep it professional. But if you maintain this attitude, I don’t think there’s a need for us to cooperate."

Rhys Lucas, with a disdainful look in his eyes, was about to speak when he received a call.

He answered: "Dad..."

Not sure what was said on the other end, Rhys Lucas glanced at Tanya Sinclair, then replied, "I’ve met the person..."

Tanya Sinclair, not wanting to waste time with him, gave Harrison Langdon a look, and the two of them turned and left.

Rhys Lucas complained to his father over the phone: "Dad, I want to replace the expert consultant..."

Which resulted in a reprimand from Mr. Lucas: "Replace my ass! Do you know, I had to swallow my pride to get Professor Carter to recommend the best expert to us! I don’t care what you’re thinking, if you can’t secure Expert Sinclair, don’t bother coming back!"

"Dad!"

Mr. Lucas directly hung up the phone.

"..."

Rhys Lucas reluctantly clenched his phone, glaring at Tanya Sinclair’s back outside, and finally pushed the door open and got out of the car, striding quickly after them.

"Tanya Sinclair!"

Tanya Sinclair didn’t stop. Rhys Lucas caught up with her, blocking her path.

Harrison Langdon frowned, confronting him: "What do you want?"

Harrison Langdon, who usually got along with everyone and always had a smile, rarely showed a cold face.

Rhys Lucas’s face turned a shade of blue, and he eventually lowered his head in front of Tanya Sinclair.

"Ms. Sinclair, my attitude was wrong just now. I apologize. Today, I am representing Aethel Biomedical Technology to invite you for a visit and guidance. I hope we can reach a cooperation."

Tanya Sinclair, for Professor Carter’s sake, didn’t argue much with Rhys Lucas.

She walked to the car, didn’t move, and glanced at Rhys Lucas.

Rhys Lucas: "..."

He reluctantly reached out to open the car door for Tanya Sinclair.

"Please."

Tanya Sinclair: "Thank you."

Rhys Lucas could never have imagined that one day he would be opening the car door for Tanya Sinclair!

Harrison Langdon and Tanya Sinclair sat in the back seat, Rhys Lucas in the passenger seat.

It wasn’t convenient to talk in the car. Harrison Langdon gently nudged Tanya Sinclair with his elbow, signaling her to check her phone.

Harrison Langdon: [Junior sister, do you have a past issue with this Lucas?]

Tanya Sinclair: [Vincent Hawthorne’s good brother.]

With one simple sentence, Harrison Langdon understood. The group of friends around Vincent Hawthorne were just like him, who had once given his junior sister a hard time!

While in the car, Tanya Sinclair sent a message to Declan Pierce, briefly explaining that she was entrusted by Professor Carter to be a consultant expert for Rhys Lucas’s company and that they were to sign a cooperation agreement this afternoon, which might take some time.

She wanted to arrange another meeting with Declan Pierce.

Declan Pierce confirmed her location.

[Is Rhys Lucas’s company, Aethel Biomedical?]

Tanya Sinclair: [Yes.]

Declan Pierce: [I’ll come pick you up this afternoon.]

Seeing the message from Declan Pierce, Tanya Sinclair’s lips curved slightly upwards. She replied with [Okay], and after thinking for a moment, added a heart emoji.

Rhys Lucas was in a foul mood the whole way, watching through the rearview mirror as Tanya Sinclair looked at her phone, smiling like a blooming flower. He recalled Vincent Hawthorne asking him about Declan Pierce, saying that Tanya Sinclair was already with Declan Pierce.

This woman is truly capable, managing in such a short time not only to win over Declan Pierce but also to attract Vincent Hawthorne back.

"Ha..." Rhys Lucas let out a cold laugh, shifting his gaze to the window.

The car drove all the way to the portico of Aethel Biomedical Technology’s building, with Rhys Lucas leading the way in front, while Harrison Langdon and Tanya Sinclair walked two steps behind. Harrison Langdon whispered into Tanya Sinclair’s ear: "Junior sister, if you don’t want to have dealings with this Lucas, just refuse. Professor Carter will understand."

"It’s nothing." Tanya Sinclair reassuringly patted Harrison Langdon’s shoulder, "It’s just a collaboration, I can handle it."

She was just annoyed by Rhys Lucas, but not to the point where she’d avoid him.

Moreover, she was only here today to handle matters in her field of expertise.

Rhys Lucas had already reached the elevator, accompanied by two executives. One pressed the elevator button, the other held the doors, and just as Rhys was about to step in, he stepped aside to let Tanya Sinclair go first.

"Ms. Sinclair, please." Rhys Lucas flashed a polite yet insincere smile.

Despite how much she irked him, at present, he needed her help. In the face of interests, there are no permanent enemies—this was the first lesson he learned entering the business world.

Tanya Sinclair, accompanied by Rhys Lucas’s team, toured their research center and learned about the two most important projects they were currently working on.

One was a biosensor for early cancer screening, capable of accurately detecting a user’s cancer risk through bodily fluids;

The other was a targeted drug for pediatric neuroblastoma, aiming to precisely eliminate cancer cells while reducing harm to normal cells.

The team members responsible for these projects were highly professional. Although Rhys Lucas’s character wasn’t great, he was considered a good boss, willing to invest in talent. He not only equipped them with top-notch labs but also offered first-tier salaries in the country.

Tanya Sinclair was very interested in both projects.

She meticulously examined the drug components of the first phase and found issues with the formula, discussing them with the project leader while Rhys Lucas stood by, unable to get a word in.

Not to mention speaking up, after listening for a couple of sentences, he was entirely lost.

Tanya Sinclair eloquently discussed matters within her field of expertise.

This was the first time Rhys Lucas saw Tanya Sinclair in a working state; though she was still that bumpkin, Rhys couldn’t find a trace of timidity or cowardice in her face. Instead, her eyes were calm and focused, her entire aura transformed.

"President Lucas." Harrison Langdon blocked Rhys Lucas’s view, politely smiling, "My young protege probably still needs some time to chat with them. How about you show me around the front?"

Rhys Lucas withdrew his gaze, "Sure."

Tanya Sinclair’s discussion lasted over an hour. When she looked up, she realized that unbeknownst to her, the entire project team had gathered around, some even holding small notebooks like attentive students in a lecture.

Rhys Lucas, standing in the opposite rest area, watched this scene through the glass door and took a sip of coffee.

Harrison Langdon walked over and said with a sigh, "If she hadn’t married Vincent Hawthorne back then, this would’ve been the life my young protege should be living."

Rhys Lucas looked up at him.

Harrison Langdon turned his head, meeting Rhys’s gaze, and raised an eyebrow, smiling, "Boss Lucas sure is lucky, having a good father and a long-standing acquaintance with Professor Carter. That’s why you got the advantage and found such a good consultant expert like Tanya Sinclair."

Rhys Lucas: "..."

He realized that those around Tanya Sinclair were all fiercely protective of her.

Next, it was time to sign the collaboration agreement.

Tanya Sinclair reviewed the contract, found no issues, and signed and sealed it with Rhys Lucas.

"Pleasure working with you, Expert Sinclair." This was the first time Rhys Lucas extended his hand to her.

Tanya Sinclair glanced at the hand extended before her, smiled politely: "I got a bit of ink on my hand earlier, so I won’t shake hands with Boss Lucas. Pleasure working with you."

After saying this, she glanced at her phone, and upon seeing someone’s message, the originally indifferent and calm eyes softened with gentleness.

She picked up her bag.

"Then I’ll be off. No need to see me out."

Harrison Langdon left the meeting room with Tanya Sinclair.

Rhys Lucas watched them quickly head towards the elevator and was about to leave himself when he received a call.

It was from Vincent Hawthorne.

Rhys Lucas pressed his tongue against his cheek and answered, "Vincent."

"Are you done?" Vincent Hawthorne asked, "I have a dinner event tonight. I heard Director Langdon will be there. Why don’t you come along to meet him? You’ll be starting in biomedical soon, and interacting with hospitals is inevitable. Director Langdon holds significant influence over at the Health Commission."

"Thanks, send me the address. I’m on my way now, and dinner’s on me."

"I handled some business near your company this afternoon, so I’ll be down by your building soon. You can come straight down."

Rhys Lucas hesitated in his steps outward, a moment of indecision: "Vincent, there’s something I haven’t had the chance to tell you yet..."

On the other end, Vincent Hawthorne had already found a parking spot and casually asked while parking, "What’s up?"

Just as he asked, he looked up to see a Maybach gliding past his view.

The driver’s side window was partially lowered, revealing Declan Pierce’s chiseled profile, sharply etched, momentarily catching his gaze.

Vincent Hawthorne was slightly taken aback, still puzzled by why Declan Pierce was there, when in the next second, a familiar figure dashed out from the entrance.

It was indeed Tanya Sinclair!

Rhys Lucas’s voice synchronously resonated in his ear.

"Our company has hired Tanya Sinclair as a consultant expert. But it was my dad who found her; I didn’t know it would be her either..."
