Refusing to Remarry: Mr. Hawthorne, You Are Out-Chapter 86: Insisting on Marrying Him

Leon Grant did not answer, he simply leaned back deep into his chair, his intense gaze falling on Leo Keane, scrutinizing him without saying a word.

It made Leo Keane feel a bit embarrassed, so he touched his nose and changed his previous ’testimony’, "What’s he making money for then? It’s obvious he’s here to boost his reputation!"

Everyone knows the reputation of the Sinclair Group is well established, and many up-and-coming companies will deliberately lower profits to collaborate with big companies for fame.

Some would even take on projects without profit, just to enhance their reputation.

Leo Keane suspected that Adam Adler was exactly like this...

Adler Construction just started emerging in these recent years, right?

They’re probably looking to make a name for themselves and shoot to fame!

Leon Grant, however, shook his head, "Adam Adler uses the most advanced technology imported from abroad, which significantly conserves resources, so he still has profits."

"Then why choose me?" Leo Keane was even more puzzled, and he felt a bit sulky inside.

He couldn’t figure out why they chose two companies...

"You can ask Raine Sinclair that. But I can tell you, by collaborating with Adam Adler, you should gain something." Leon Grant replied.

This made Leo Keane even more confused!

It was already unexpected that two companies collaborated, and now you’re saying he will gain something by working with Adam Adler?

Gain what?

Gain half the profits being taken away?

——

In the car, Raine Sinclair was just chatting with William Jennings about this.

"Girl, tell me, why did you choose two companies for the project?"

William Jennings had a brief understanding of Raine Sinclair’s intentions for this bidding on his way over.

Given that he heard her announcement of the result, he brought it up.

"Adam Adler has advanced technology with low costs, but lacks experience. Leo Keane is experienced but very arrogant, inflating prices significantly," Raine Sinclair objectively analyzed the advantages of the two companies before continuing, "I thought, why not combine the two, each serving their purpose. Besides, there’s one more crucial point..."

"What is it?" William Jennings raised his eyebrows.

"There are no instances in Sedonia where two companies were co-bidded! By doing this, those reporters and media were stunned speechless! For sure many people will pay attention to our project, isn’t that natural advertising and traffic?"

Raine Sinclair’s eyes curved in a smile, full of cunning and shrewdness.

"Good girl!" William Jennings couldn’t help but praise her, patting her little head resting on his shoulder, "As expected of my granddaughter William Jennings! Quick-witted indeed!"

"It’s all because you taught well before!" Raine Sinclair naturally switched to her sweet-talking mode.

She used to frequently visit her grandfather, learning many things unconsciously.

Before, she didn’t feel there was much, but when truly needed, she naturally brought these things out from her subconscious.

William Jennings always cherished this little girl, and hearing her sweet talk made him extremely delighted.

But after the smiles, he let out a long sigh.

"If only York were like you, it would be great..."

Upon hearing this, Raine Sinclair followed up with a question, "What’s wrong with York?"

The York her grandfather mentioned is York Jennings, her cousin and the heir of the Jennings Family.

"That kid has no interest in business, started a game company himself, and is rarely seen." William Jennings spoke through clenched teeth, wishing for him to make something useful!

Raine Sinclair knew a little bit about it.

Whenever her mother called home, she could hear news of her grandfather being angered to dizziness by her cousin...

The Jennings Family has a big business in the north, yet in this generation, there’s only York Jennings as the sole heir.

William Jennings placed all his hopes on York Jennings, yet who knew he would turn out to be so unpromising!

"Cousin is still young, once he’s had his fun and settles down, it’ll be good!" Raine Sinclair consoled her grandfather.

Thinking she wasn’t much different from her cousin back then.

Her father wanted her to take over the whole family, to cultivate her well, but she was infatuated with Jonas Hawthorne, insisting on marrying him to be a full-time wife...

Now, having been grounded by a few solid slaps from reality, she returned home to inherit the family business.

William Jennings seemed thoroughly disheartened, not wanting to mention it again, turning instead to say, "Your three brothers have also arrived."

"The brothers also came? Why didn’t I see them?" Raine Sinclair was startled.

Those cousins from her paternal aunt’s family were each more impressive than the last; if they all came to Sedonia, wouldn’t there be chaos?

"I had them take care of some matters first, they’ll come later." William Jennings said with a laugh, "If they came together, when would you have time to dine with grandfather?"

"Yes..." Raine Sinclair nodded.

Although the Jennings Family only had York Jennings as the sole heir, there were also her aunt’s two cousins; the three together were unbeatable.

Yet no matter how they caused a ruckus, they all doted on Raine Sinclair, if they were around, even William Jennings couldn’t manage to talk to his granddaughter.

Thinking of these things, Raine Sinclair hugged William Jennings’ arm tighter, instinctively wanting to act spoiled.

"Then today I will spend quality time with grandfather!"

"Great! You can be Grandfather’s tour guide and show me around Sedonia!" William Jennings’ laughter was hearty, clearly indicating his extremely pleasant mood!

After discussing some family topics, William Jennings turned and asked, "Is that young man from the Sullivans still with you?"

"Yes..." Raine Sinclair nodded hesitantly.

"He has grown taller, looks good too." William Jennings commented, "Just seems a bit silly, not that shrewd, so he wouldn’t be able to bully you in the future."

Raine Sinclair blinked, not having the chance to ask what her grandfather meant, when she heard him continue on his own, "I caught a glance at the young man sitting next to you earlier, what’s his name again?"

"Leon Grant..."

"Nice name, he doesn’t look cunning either."

Raine Sinclair couldn’t listen any longer, nudging William Jennings’ arm, "Grandfather! What are you saying?"

"I think each of these is better than Jonas Hawthorne! You were smart since childhood, learned things faster than your brothers, just your eyes for men aren’t ideal!"

William Jennings actually wanted to say she handpicked a scoundrel.

But thinking that this girl was still young, it’s understandable to make a mistake for a period.

Can’t hit her confidence too hard...

Raine Sinclair held her forehead, seems she can’t escape from this topic.

Helplessly, she sighed, "Grandfather, you said Jonas Hawthorne was quite the fine person previously!"

"..." William Jennings froze for a moment, snorting coldly, "You brought him home, adamantly wanted to marry him, what could I say? Say you can’t marry him? You’d cut ties with Grandfather then!"

"Was it really that dramatic?" Raine Sinclair sat up with a start, blinking her clear eyes at her grandfather.

"Hmph, you were even more dramatic back then!" William Jennings gave her a sideways glance, utterly annoyed, "Almost threw a tantrum, crying and shouting!"
