The Gorgeous Substitute Wife of Mr. President
Chapter 484

Lucas was not happy when he heard that.

Even though it caused a big loss this time, Cater had not done the investigation about the details. But he believed that it was not Evelyn's fault.

He saw by his own eyes that Evelyn put a lot of efforts on that case.

Perhaps, Ji Yi found out that Lucas was not happy, so she smiles," Boss, I know that you admire Evelyn, but it's better to pay attention to the interests of the whole. We think Evelyn has a big fault on this. Other employees would be recalcitrant if there is no punishment at all. Tongues will start to wag and make a bad influence on the company and the future progress of Evelyn in the company."

Lucas heard that and changed his mind. He understood what Ji Yi's words meant.

Indeed, if he kept Evelyn in the company at that time, people would spread rumors and that was bad to her future in the company. Especially a few managers already had some bad impression on her. Besides, about the issue this time, he did not know the details. But his experience told him that the opposite side did that on purpose. But he did not know they were aiming at the company or Evelyn. "Director Ji was right. Ask Evelyn to stay at home and give her punishments after the things are done."

He pondered for a while and finally admitted Ji Yi's propose.

A sense of gladness showed in Ji Yi's eyes when she heard that.

Even though Evelyn was not fired, she thought that it was still a good consequence that Evelyn would not show up in the company these days.

"OK, I will inform Evelyn after the meeting."

Lucas glanced at her and did not refute her. He started negotiating other things with Freya.

After two hours, the meeting was over.

Lucas left with Cater.

Ji Yi looked at his back when he left. She meant to catch him and ask him to have a dinner together with some excuses.

But she was too slow and could only watch Lucas leaving then she went back to her office depressingly.

After she went back to her office, she was still depressed. She thought that Lucas left her no face.

Then she remembered what they talked in the meeting and it seemed that she found a outlet to abreact her bad mood. She took out her phone and made a call. "Director Ji, is there a result from the company?"

"Yes, it's very serious this time. Even the head office knows. The boss was here by himself. After the discussion, the company decided to let me handle this. As for you, you are temporarily suspended." Ji Yi told the decision of the company to Evelyn faithfully, but she pointed that Lucas made the decision.

As Ji Yi expected, Evelyn misunderstood after she heard that.

In her opinion, Lucas was not trusting her but trusting others and he thought that Evelyn ganged up and changed the design with people from outside of the company and framed the company up. Since that, she was unsatisfied with the decision made by the company.

"Since I'm responsible to this case, I'd like to assist you with the investigation this time. So, I can help you if there is any problem of the opposite side."

It was expected by Ji Yi that Evelyn was unreconciled.

She rebuked," You can assist me? With what? Besides, you brought troubles to the company over and over again. Even though you are Lucas's wife, the company is not belonged to the Hawk family completely. Do you understand how much troubles you brought to Lucas?" Evelyn was speechless.

Ji Yi sneered on the other said of the phone," Evelyn, if you really care about Lucas, just stay at home these times and do not bring troubles to Lucas and embarrass him anymore!"

Ji Yi hung up the phone immediately after she said that.

Evelyn pursed her lips tightly and an obstinate expression on her face.

Even though she knew that what Ji Yi said made sense, she could not just leave it alone.

It was obvious that the opposite side trick her and it would be hard for her to stay in the company if she did not expose that by herself.

As she thought, she planned to negotiate with Lucas after he came back.

However, Lucas did not come back until it was already very late since he was too busy.

Evelyn nearly fell asleep waiting on the balcony but the sound of car awaked her.

She stood on the balcony and watched Lucas got off his car with a briefcase in his hand then she turned around and run to downstairs. "Still awake?"

Lucas asked with his brows frowned a little bit when he saw that Evelyn ran to him.

"I'm waiting for you."

Evelyn looked at his indifferent face and she only said that subconsciously even though she had a lot of words to say.

"You don't have to. I still got things to deal with. You may go to sleep first."

After Lucas said that, he crossed Evelyn and went upstairs.

Evelyn looked at him leaving and she hesitated.

Finally, it seemed that Evelyn had made some decision. She caught up Lucas's steps and rushed into the study room. But coincidently, Lucas was taking off his clothes. Under the white light, Lucas naked his upper body. His muscles were strong and clear. He's that kind of person that looked skinny when he was wearing clothes but actually very strong. Evelyn was stunned. Lucas collected himself first.

He did not put the clothes on since they had got married and done all those things.

Besides, Evelyn's expression was funny to him. He could not help teasing," What do you want to see?"

Evelyn suddenly collected herself when she heard that, and her face suddenly flushed.

"I'm not looking at you at all. Just put on the clothes. I have something to discuss with you."

She tried her best to calm down herself and said to Lucas seriously.

Lucas was a little frowned. He looked at Evelyn who was pretending to be serious and he figured out what she wanted to discuss with him, so he stopped teasing.

"If it's about the company, the decision was made and there is no chance to change it."

After that, he stopped for a second and remembered a thing happened before then said coldly," Of course, if you want to explain the things between you and Austin, I'd like to hear that."

Evelyn was stunned. She remembered the unhappiness between them then she explained with her mouth pursed," There is nothing between me and Austin!"

Lucas could not help sneering when he heard that," Nothing? But why you had a car accident because of him?"

Evelyn clenched her fist when she heard that," I have told you that I did not have the accident because of him. It was Mo..."

When Evelyn was going to speak out that Mo Li framed her up, Mo Li's voice came through from the outside of the door.

"Sir, the steward knew that you would come back late so he asked the kitchen to prepare some midnight snacks."

After she said that, she came in with a plate in her hand.

She was a little obsessed when she saw the naked upper body of Lucas.

However, she hid it immediately. She put the snacks on the table and glanced at Evelyn furtively. A homicidal intent flashed away in her eyes.

Because she was worried when she saw that Lucas embraced that woman in his arms when they came back last night. She was afraid of that they made peace and Evelyn would tell Lucas that she framed Evelyn up. Luckily, she took precautions against Evelyn or it would be a light punishment to fire her after Lucas knew that.
