The Gorgeous Substitute Wife of Mr. President
Chapter 148

Lucas retracted his hand coldly and he said quietly, "Come in."

After he finished speaking, he turned and went back to his study. He went straight to his desk and sat down.

Evelyn followed him, and she was relieved.

"What do you want to talk about?"

Lucas asked, looking at her coldly.

Evelyn heard his words, and she walked up and stood before him.

"I know that you will not agree to cancel the lawyer's letter, so I want to ask you that can I use another way to compensate you?"

Lucas raised his eyebrows, his eyes narrowed, and he sneered, "How do you want to make it up to me?"

Then he looked up and down at Evelyn as if he was measuring her.

Evelyn suddenly felt that he despised her.

Even so, she held back her discontent. she compressed her lips, and she said to him, "I had a design work published in BBS abroad, which was favored by the foreign brand rc, so they have been communicating with me online. Recently I heard that they are planning to enter the domestic market, and they are also planning to cooperate with the domestic clothing company to create derivative brands."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Lucas firmly.

Lucas raised his eyebrows. He seemed not to be attracted by her words. He asked, "so?"

Evelyn heard him, and she didn't know how to convince him for a moment.

She had thought that if she said this thing, he should know what she meant. After all, he's smart.

Just as she was about to explain to him, she noticed the trick in Lucas's eyes.

she understood all at once.

He was pretending not to understand her.

The thought of it made her suddenly angry.

But it was she who asked for his help, so she could only repress her anger and she would even do what he wanted.

"|

I mean, our company can try to work with them. Their designers appreciate my work, so from this point of view, we have an advantage over other companies. And according to my preliminary estimate, if we can cooperate with them, our company will gain more than 50 million dollars from this cooperation. Thus, if I help you work with their company, can you let go of the Davis family?"

Lucas looked surprised when he heard what she said.

He didn't think Nora was so capable.

"What are your chances of success?

He knocked at the table, and thought for a moment. Then he asked her.

When Evelyn heard what he said, she thought he had promised her. So her eyes flashed with joy. She said firmly to him, "although many companies will compete with us this time, I have an 80% probability to win this cooperation opportunity." Lucas listened to her assurances, and his eyes narrowed as if he were thinking.

The company's reputation has been tarnished since it started.

If he wanted to get back on his feet and run the company well, he must seize new opportunities all over again.

Therefore, if he could cooperate with an established foreign brand, it was definitely a good thing for his company.

As he thought of this, he looked darkly at Evelyn. "I can promise you that."

After hearing his words, Evelyn was finally relieved of her fears. The smile on her face seemed even more irresistible.

Just as she was about to say something, Lucas spoke again.

"Don't get too excited. Although I promised to cancel lawyer's letter for the time being, only if you are successful in securing a partnership with their company."

Evelyn understood what he meant. She nodded and said, "Of course. I heard the head of their company will be here tomorrow. I'll get a chance to meet the head of their company tomorrow."

When Lucas saw that she understood what he meant, he replied with satisfaction.

"If you need any help, you can ask Freya to help you and I'll tell her about it."

Evelyn felt warmed in her heart as she heard his words.

This man was not so unreasonable.

Though the man had initially rejected her sternly, finally his heart was softened.

Not only did he help her, but he also saved her mother.

As she thought of this, she could not help but say gratefully to him, "Lucas, thank you."

Lucas felt confused and looked at her in bewilderment.

Evelyn compressed her lips. She smiled. "Thank you for giving me a chance to make it up to you."

And in her heart, she thanked him for not making her feel helpless.

Instead of telling him what she wanted to say in her heart, she just looked at Lucas gratefully.

Lucas did not know what was going on in her mind, but when he heard this, he merely snorted coldly.

"You are reasonable. If your father was half as reasonable as you and knew what to do and what not to do, we wouldn't be having so many conflicts."

Evelyn knew he was upset with John.

Not only he but also she hated John.

But she couldn't express these feelings, because right now she's pretending to be Nora!

So she apologized for John. "I'm sorry. We cause trouble for you."

Lucas made no comment and he accepted her apology.

Evelyn watched him settle behind his desk. She thought that their affairs had been settled, and her mother was still waiting for her, so she wanted to leave to see her mother. "That's all we have to say, so I won't bother you anymore. I'm going home."

When she finished speaking, she saw that Lucas didn't stop her, so she just turned around and left.

Lucas sat in his chair, looking thoughtfully after her as she left.

He put his fingers on the table and knocked on it.

His eyes looked deep as he thought of what they had said.

Nora, you was totally different from what I had heard...

After Evelyn left him, she went straight to her room.

She couldn't wait to take out her cell phone. She told John about Lucas' promise to cancel the lawyer's letter temporarily.

"You said you couldn't do it. You did it, didn't you?"

John listened to her, he sneered and he said to her.

Evelyn was angry, and gradually, she had an idea.

"Don't get too excited. Lucas agreed to cancel the lawyer's letter temporarily, but he said the Hawk Group would never work with you in the future!"

As long as their companie never cooperated with each other again, the things like this would never happen again, and she would no longer be in a dilemma.

However, no matter what she thought, John was reluctant to give up his cooperation with the Hawk family, a super-rich family.

"Is that what Lucas said to you? Have you agreed?"

He suddenly changed his tone. He questioned her severely.

As Evelyn prepared to say yes, he told her again, "no, I disagree. I have to continue working with the Hawk family!"

Evelyn heard what he said, and her voice turned cold, too.

"John, you're insatiable!"

"What if I am insatiable? Now tell Lucas what I mean!"

John became unreasonable, and he just started ordering her. Evelyn's hands were trembling with rage.

"Impossible! I've settled it with him."

She refused him firmly, but John didn't care.

"Even if you decide, you can renegotiate it. Don't forget, I still control your mother!"

Evelyn laughed at his shameless threat. "John, do you have to threaten me like this all the time? If you threaten me like this again, I'll ignore you. After all, I am usually at my boldest when I have little to lose. If you dare to hurt my mother, we will finally die together." When she had said this, she took a deep breath and sneered. "Do you think whether the Hawk family will retaliate if they know you cheated on them?"

John's voice went cold when he heard her words.

"Are you threatening me?

Evelyn snorted coldly, and she said, "you can think of it this way. Anyway, I mean what I say. If you don't believe me, you can try!"
