Refusing to Remarry: Mr. Hawthorne, You Are Out-Chapter 70: She Kissed Him First

Jonas Hawthorne didn’t answer, just frowned at her.

"Do you know we’re already divorced?" Raine Sinclair asked again, her delicate face full of helplessness.

After divorce, shouldn’t we go our separate ways?

Shouldn’t we act like strangers if we meet?

Why does he give her the illusion that he still has feelings for her...

But that’s not the case at all!

Clearly, he divorced her and had a child with another woman!

Seeing that he remained silent, Raine Sinclair’s heart sank bit by bit, "Please don’t pretend to be familiar with me in the future, it makes me nauseous."

As she spoke, her stomach actually churned, her brows furrowed; her pregnancy reactions had been getting stronger lately.

Jonas Hawthorne’s handsome face darkened slightly, "Get in the car first, I have something to ask you."

"I have nothing to say to you," Raine Sinclair replied stiffly.

But Jonas Hawthorne coldly said, "If you don’t want the bidding to go wrong, you’d better get in."

After saying this, he turned and walked towards his car.

Raine Sinclair was left standing there dumbfounded for a while before she asked, "What do you mean?"

Jonas Hawthorne didn’t say another word, as if he had long grasped Raine Sinclair’s weak spot, knowing how to make her obedient.

After he left, Raine Sinclair’s mind was filled with thoughts about the bid.

Does he know something?

However... she had been personally overseeing the progress of the bid, and everything had been going smoothly without any issues, so what could possibly go wrong?

After pondering for a long time in place, Raine Sinclair finally felt that the bid was important, and there was no need to jeopardize such an important project just to be angry with Jonas Hawthorne!

She wanted to see what tricks he had up his sleeve!

With this in mind, she quickly took a few steps and got into Jonas Hawthorne’s car.

The car was still quite new, and she hadn’t ridden in it many times, but as soon as she got in, she saw a little lamb placed on the air vent.

That was something she bought...

When she first put it up there, he disliked it greatly, with the attitude that if she dared to hang that little thing in his car, he’d turn against her mercilessly.

But in the end, he couldn’t resist her soft pleading, and finally left a little spot for the lamb.

"Such a cute little lamb, it can keep you company when I’m not around!"

After succeeding, Raine Sinclair was very happy and even voluntarily gave him a kiss.

The scene of the two of them laughing and playing in the car was still so vivid in her memory...

But unfortunately, in just a few months, everything had changed so drastically.

Raine Sinclair frowned slightly, suddenly remembering that Candace Ford had thrown away everything in the house that originally belonged to her, so why did Jonas Hawthorne still keep this little lamb?

Did Candace Ford not notice this thing?

When Jonas Hawthorne saw her get in the car without speaking, just staring blankly at the little lamb on the air vent, he said without thinking, "It’s been keeping me company."

Raine Sinclair, "....." What does that have to do with her?

Rubbing her temples, she then asked, "What could go wrong with the bid?"

To be fair, even though Jonas Hawthorne is a scumbag in relationships, his dominance in the business world is undeniable.

Listening to his point of view might be useful.

Of course, if he’s using the bid as a pretense to pull any tricks, she absolutely wouldn’t let him off!

Jonas Hawthorne didn’t answer right away but took out his phone, found a person’s photo, and handed it to her.

As Raine Sinclair looked over, she heard his analysis, "Henry Chambers, president of Verity Construction. He is the only competitor capable of going against Leo Keane."

Raine Sinclair had seen this person on the registration form before, and Easton Yancy’s analysis at the time was also that he was very strong.

But Jonas Hawthorne deliberately bringing up Leo Keane...

"I’ve already said, this bid is open and fair. Whoever is capable gets the project, and no one should think about playing tricks." Raine Sinclair’s attitude was resolute. After all, she couldn’t possibly shoot herself in the foot. Since she had refused Leo Keane before, she certainly wouldn’t give him any special privileges now.

When Jonas Hawthorne heard this, he knew she thought he was pleading for Leo Keane and wasn’t in a hurry to explain, asking back, "Henry Chambers has a high chance of winning, but this person isn’t worth partnering with."

"Reason?" Raine Sinclair finally glanced at him.

"The companies that have worked with him before all had low evaluations. Your bid isn’t just to find a strong partner but to see clearly the character of this partner. Otherwise, there will be endless troubles in the future."

This was one of the few times Jonas Hawthorne was so patient in explaining something to her.

Raine Sinclair was slightly taken aback.

She didn’t expect him to consider so much for her.

Without answering, she quickly searched for Henry Chambers online, and indeed, a lot of his negative news popped up.

Jonas Hawthorne saw her tightly furrowed brow and continued, "You don’t need to rush."

That confident tone, as if he already had a solution.

Raine Sinclair couldn’t help but turn her head to look at him, "Do you have a way?"

"Just add one additional condition at the end," Jonas Hawthorne replied.

"What condition?"

This time, Jonas Hawthorne didn’t directly throw out the answer but looked into her eyes with deep meaning, "You should know, I don’t do business at a loss."

Meaning Raine Sinclair needed to exchange with an equivalent stake.

She sneered inwardly, knowing he couldn’t possibly be so kind.

"What do you want?" she asked straightforwardly, without any delay.

Their relationship now should indeed be like this.

Cash on delivery.

Jonas Hawthorne was quite satisfied with her intelligence, and then his lips lifted slightly, "Tell me your relationship with Finn Wyatt."

"What?" Raine Sinclair was stunned for a moment, her mind had already flashed through countless possible requests he might bring up, but she never expected it to be this?

She even thought she heard wrong!

He went through all this trouble to give her advice just to ask about her relationship with Finn Wyatt?

Jonas Hawthorne didn’t repeat his words, just stared at her, using his gaze to tell her she could give him an answer now.

Raine Sinclair was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Why should I tell you? We don’t have any relationship now, right?"

One statement completely clarified the relationship between her and Jonas Hawthorne.

"You don’t have to say," Jonas Hawthorne’s attitude wasn’t forceful, and he quickly changed his request, "But you must not go to him for a signature."

"....." Raine Sinclair was speechless.

She really couldn’t understand what was going on in this man’s head?

Even though she had Jordan Holden’s verbal promise, and the loan was secured, she didn’t need to go to Finn Wyatt at all, but Jonas Hawthorne didn’t know that...

Also, she didn’t know where he heard she was going to find Finn Wyatt to sign for a loan guarantee, so he kept holding onto this matter.

She rubbed her forehead, "If I don’t get his signature, who will give me the loan? Do you want to see me cut off my funding?"

"I said, I’d guarantee it for you," Jonas Hawthorne quickly responded.

As soon as the words fell, the atmosphere in the car instantly changed.

Less stiffness, more ambiguity.

Just as Raine Sinclair was dumbfounded, a phone suddenly rang.

Looking down, she saw the caller ID with Candace Ford’s name on it.

It paused for half a second before she realized it was Jonas Hawthorne’s phone.

She had long blocked Candace Ford.

Ha, honestly, this woman really had a knack for choosing the right time to call.
