Refusing to Remarry: Mr. Hawthorne, You Are Out-Chapter 65: Unwilling to Take Risks Again

Leon Grant’s eyebrows raised sharply, and he immediately realized that Lily Sinclair must have gone to report the situation.

Watching as Lily Sinclair still hadn’t returned, Raine Sinclair’s message arrived.

[Isn’t Ms. Sinclair too busy to leave?]

Raine Sinclair’s phone vibrated, she glanced down, her brows raised high.

So, the reason why this person is delaying his agreement is because she hasn’t personally approached him?

First, she sent a chuckling emoji, then replied, [Didn’t I come to see Mr. Grant right after the meeting? After all, we’re going to be each other’s guarantee partners in the future!]

Even though she knew Leon Grant hadn’t agreed yet, Raine Sinclair intentionally said they were already partners to see how he would react.

And when Leon Grant received this message, Lily Sinclair had just returned.

The dishes were starting to be served, so he put down his phone and began talking to Lily Sinclair.

On the other side, Raine Sinclair waited a long time without getting a response, her expression noticeably anxious.

The person in charge, who had just finished recounting the Toni incident on stage, saw the dark expression on Ms. Sinclair’s face and began to sweat silently.

"Ms. Sinclair, that’s roughly the situation," the person in charge said courageously.

Raine Sinclair didn’t respond, her tightly furrowed brows never relaxed.

All the executives below didn’t dare to breathe!

This young Ms. Sinclair, despite her age, has shown through a month of interaction that she’s decisive and efficient, much like Mr. Sinclair in his prime!

Therefore, everyone was on edge, not daring to provoke her.

This Toni incident, though not a major scandal, was something they all shared responsibility for.

They were all afraid of being reprimanded!

Only Easton Yancy, while refilling Raine Sinclair’s tea, accidentally glimpsed her phone screen and knew her displeasure was only because she hadn’t received a message. He leaned in and whispered, "Ms. Sinclair, everyone is still waiting for your instructions."

"..." Raine Sinclair snapped back to reality.

Raising her eyes, she saw over a dozen pairs of eyes looking at her and remembered she was still in a meeting!

My apologies!

Inwardly, she murmured an apology, then quickly composed herself and said calmly, "Let’s hear everyone’s thoughts."

This phrase is practically a universal ace.

Her dad had previously told her, if she ever didn’t know what to say, just throw out this line!

She is the president now; as long as she remains composed, she can maintain control of the situation.

Sure enough, after she said this, the people below exchanged glances, and then a vice president spoke up.

"Ms. Sinclair, why not take advantage of the momentum? The child hasn’t been discharged yet, and we’ve covered all the medical expenses; if we take the opportunity to invest a bit more in publicizing that our children’s clothing is certified by the most authoritative agencies, wouldn’t that gain us some momentum?"

"Vice President Jacobs makes a good point," Raine Sinclair nodded in agreement before turning to Easton Yancy, "How much can we allocate?"

"Within ten million should be fine," Easton Yancy conservatively estimated.

Hiring a child star for an ad costs around that much, and for someone less well-known, it would be cheaper.

Besides, the company had already spent a significant sum on Toni’s hospitalization.

"Ten million..." Raine Sinclair murmured, then fell into thought.

Vice President Jacobs thought she was dissatisfied with the amount and tentatively suggested, "If Ms. Sinclair thinks it’s too much, we could reduce it to five million, that way we can control the risk better, after all..."

Before Vice President Jacobs could finish, Raine Sinclair suddenly said, "It’s too little."

"What?" Vice President Jacobs thought he had misheard.

The other executives were also stunned and turned to look at Raine Sinclair.

Even Easton Yancy looked at Raine Sinclair in surprise, as he believed that ten million was the most reasonable amount after careful deliberation.

Could it be she wants to invest more?

While everyone was speculating on what would happen next, Raine Sinclair suddenly said, "Doesn’t our Sinclair Group have a separate financial consortium? Allocate some funds to establish a new Children’s Care Foundation, with core funding drawn from the profits of our children’s clothing brand. By using this as a promotion, we can tell the public that Sinclair is highly committed to the growth and development of children. Once the time is right, we can establish a children’s hospital to benefit all the children in Sedonia."

Every word was spoken with conviction.

While she spoke, it was nearly silent below.

No one expected the new president to be so bold and decisive...

The previous children’s clothing allergy incident was a mishap. Although it had some impact, a simple clarification and some trending publicity could quickly move past this.

However, if establishing an exclusive children’s charity fund and building a children’s hospital was the goal, that wouldn’t be a small expense.

"What? Does anyone have concerns?" Raine Sinclair waited a while and, seeing no comments, raised her brows and asked.

"Of course not..." Vice President Jacobs quickly recovered, first praising Raine Sinclair and affirming her decision, "Ms. Sinclair’s proposal is excellent! As they say, children are our future, and benefiting children is indeed a great charitable act!"

After the flattery, he quickly shifted, "But the costs would indeed be substantial... Though Sinclair has earned quite a bit over the years, but..."

He left the comment hanging, understanding that some things are better left unsaid.

Everyone present was aware of the unspoken concerns.

"Yes, Ms. Sinclair, next we’re planning to develop new real estate, and we’re still negotiating loans with the bank. If we establish a charity fund in the middle, I’m afraid..."

"Perhaps we should finalize the real estate project first."

"Yes, yes, the charity fund can be postponed!"

After a while, everyone joined the discussion, voicing their opinions one after another.

Easton Yancy glanced at these executives, some of whom held company shares due to their outstanding abilities.

They were eagerly anticipating the year-end dividends, certainly not wanting to take additional risks.

No one likes to see less money in their pockets, right?

It seemed like Raine Sinclair’s plan might face obstacles this time.

He wondered how she would respond?

Contemplating, Easton Yancy lowered his gaze to Raine Sinclair.

He expected to see her tightly furrowed brows or a sense of powerlessness, but was surprised to see her lips curving slightly.

Despite facing so much opposition, not only was she unfazed, she was actually smiling?

This...

Easton Yancy couldn’t help but be startled.

The next moment, Raine Sinclair spoke confidently, "Rest assured, everyone, the financial consortium and the loans are independent issues. As for the children’s charity fund, once established, Sinclair’s children’s clothing will spread worldwide in the shortest time.

Then won’t you be concerned about not having profits? As for the hospital, we can reduce treatment costs and collaborate with affiliated pharmaceutical companies to develop new drugs, supplying them exclusively. The potential profits of this, I believe you all have a sense of it?"

Once she finished speaking, everyone present was utterly impressed...

All the executives wore expressions of shock and excitement!

They seemed to already envision countless money bills falling from the sky right into their laps!
