Submitting To My Billionaire Ex-Wife by Allison Mild ( Genevieve) novel Chapter 174

Chapter 174 

With that, Genevieve glanced at Jasper and stood up. 

“Let’s move the meeting to this afternoon.” With this phrase and nothing more, she left. 

What happened in the conference room didn’t upset her. 

Not only had Jeffrey prepared her for this, but he also gave her the power to deal with it. 

‘While I’m a newcomer, I’m in charge. 

‘I can’t get rid of everyone on the first day. I need to give others a chance after making an example of someone,” she thought. 

Eric, the project department’s director, hurriedly arrived at the office 20 minutes later, full of sweat and with a pale face. 

He looked disheveled in his loungewear. 

He tried coming in, but Jasper stopped him. 

Eric’s attitude was different from before. 

He had dialed Jeffrey to check after hanging up on Jasper. 

Jeffrey’s assistant answered the call instead of Jeffrey. He told Eric, “Genevieve’s decision is final.” 

These words undoubtedly sent a shiver down Eric’s spine. 

He didn’t want to lose employment as a middle–aged man. It wasn’t easy to find a job. 

Therefore, he rushed to the office without changing his clothes. 

“Let me see Ms. Lawrence. It’s hard to explain things on the phone. There may be some misunderstandings. Let me explain myself to her,” he pleaded. 

Jasper’s reply was distant and polite. “Mr. Lawson, please visit the HR department to discuss your severance package. Ms. Lawrence is busy and couldn’t see you.” 

“Please help me, Jasper. I didn’t attend the meeting because I had an emergency. I’ll explain to Ms. Lawrence I meant no disrespect…” Eric tried to get in, but Jasper guarded the door tightly. 

Chapter 174 

Genevieve dialed Sullivan of Eagle Entertainment in her office, as if she wasn’t aware of the situation outside. 

“Uncle Sullivan. How’re you there? How’s the new director?” she asked. 

Sullivan sighed and answered. “He’s okay. With me watching his every move, he dares not do anything funny.” 

The director of Eagle Entertainment was a former employee of a well–known foreign entertainment company. While he was capable, he had many dangerous ideas. 

Sullivan had to watch him carefully before allowing him to work with more freedom. 

Genevieve hummed. “Did those shareholders give you a hard time when I took the project with me?” 

Sullivan sneered and raised his voice. “How dare they? You built that project, and it hasn’t even started. They have no right to say anything. Don’t worry,” he replied. “Your parents said you work in Lawrence Group, and your brother is abroad. Be careful there. It’s harder to handle those in Lawrence Group than Eagle Entertainment.” 

Genevieve understood him and smiled. “Yes…” 

Someone opened the door before she could finish. 

Eric somehow managed to sneak past Jasper. 

Jasper didn’t expect Eric to be so shameless. As Eric walked out, he suddenly turned around and barged into Genevieve’s office. 

Jasper was furious. 

Genevieve hung up after speaking to Sullivan. 

She saw the disheveled and embarrassed Eric when she turned. 

Contrary to his arrogance during the phone call, his appearance was pitiful. 

Genevieve looked at Jasper calmly. 

“It’s okay. Why don’t you bring Mr. Lawson a cup of coffee?” she said. 

While Genevieve addressed him the same, she sounded cold and distant compared to her earlier, more 

respectful tone. 

Eric’s heart sank as he felt a sense of crisis. 

Chapter 174 

He understood Genevieve was not joking. 

She needed to make an example of someone, and he, arrogant and reckless, was perfect for her agenda. 

The seated Eric became anxious immediately. 

“Let me explain my behavior on the phone, Ms. Lawrence. I think you misunderstood me,” he said. 

Genevieve glanced at him coolly. “Didn’t you sprain your ankle, Mr. Lawson? You look healthier than a normal person!” She snorted sarcastically. 

Blushing, Eric felt uncomfortable after being exposed. 

“You seem to recover extremely quickly. No injury to the tendons or bones.” Genevieve smiled and looked away, her tone casual and indifferent. 

Eric’s heart sank. He still tried to defend himself. 

“Ms. Lawrence.” His tone was more respectful now. “I’m unclear on the phone. I fully support Jeffrey’s decision. I can immediately order my department to start working on the project you brought. Of course, it’ll have priority.” 

He continued, “I was joking on the phone. I didn’t know you were there. I was talking nonsense because I drank too much at a social event last night.” 

Genevieve stared at him coldly. 

“Your replacement would listen to orders better if I replaced you. The company can run without you,” she stated indifferently. 

Eric’s expression changed. He smiled apologetically and said through gritted teeth, “Ms. Lawrence, I’m sorry for what happened this morning. Could you overlook this for once?” 

He apologized and admitted his mistake without hesitation because he sensed Genevieve wanted to make him an example. 

If he truly lost his job, he would lose his current status and position, even if he could find a new job. 

Therefore, he had to swallow his pride. 

Genevieve’s cold stare at him was spine–tingling. Finally, she said, “Since you’re apologizing sincerely, you should set an example. Write a self–reflection report and send it to every employee’s email. Please read it at the afternoon meeting, too.”
