Go After My Ex-wife
Chapter 1071 A Strange Teacher

"I don't have parents. They're dead," Raeleigh answered. Lamarre frowned. "You're lying."

Raeleigh froze for a moment and became nervous. She didn't expect Lamarre to know when she was lying.

Raeleigh lowered her head and panicked. "I..."

"Is there anyone else at home?" Lamarre pressed on, and Raeleigh replied, "My Grandma."

Lamarre said, "Are you hiding something?"

Raeleigh would never tell an outsider about herself, but she nodded. She looked up at Lamarre, who then said, "It's fine if you can't say it."

Raeleigh breathed a sigh of relief. Lamarre was a strange person.

"I hope you won't get angry." Raeleigh stood up from the chair. It was the first time someone had exposed her lie, and she did not know what to do.

Lamarre looked up at the frightened girl in front of him. He was depressed. He was not a big bad wolf and could just see through people's thoughts. She seemed so afraid, as if she would run out of the room. Lamarre hoped that he did not scare her away. As the saying went, there were more wolves than meat. Right then, the whole company was envious of her. If he frightened her off, then the girl would not want him as her teacher. By then, Jepherson would earn himself a living treasure. Furthermore, Belle and her son were not easy to deal with, that was just the way it was.

"I didn't say anything. Why are you standing up? Sit down. I'm satisfied with your design, but I'm a little dissatisfied with your attitude."

Lamarre initially wanted to tell her that they could talk about it, but Raeleigh misunderstood that he was talking about her lie. She became even more nervous and couldn't calm down at all.

"I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to lie to you. My situation is a little special. Previously, I..."

Raeleigh could not say the word 'orphan' no matter how hard she tried. Then, she corrected herself and said, "I'm sorry. I need some air."

Raeleigh intended to leave. Seeing that Raeleigh was about to leave, Lamarre suddenly shouted, "Stop."

Raeleigh stopped at once, not daring to turn around.

Lamarre was pissed. What would he have done if she escaped from his grasp?

Lamarre made a prompt decision and said, "I'll definitely take you as my apprentice. Belle and Jepherson should be out of the way. Now that you're here, you can't leave. You'd better come back." Raeleigh paused for a moment, turned around, and said to Lamarre, "What are you..."

"Sit down. From today onwards, you're my apprentice. The press conference will be held soon. You should publish a few designs in the meantime. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you don't strike when the iron is hot, then it'll be difficult for you to succeed in the future." Lamarre had already thought about it. Since she was his apprentice, he would give the best advice to her.

Raeleigh thought for a moment and said, "But Jepherson... I mean, Mr. Harvey told me that if I stay in the company, then I can't showcase my accomplishments unless I leave the company after graduation and redesign a new project. Only then would it belong to me. All my previous works are the company's properties."

Raeleigh remembered his exact words.

Lamarre frowned. "Your relationship with Jepherson is a bit unusual, isn't it?"

Raeleigh learnt her lesson and did not lie to Lamarre that time. She nodded.

"Hmph!" Lamarre snorted and went to his seat. He said, "There's no honest businessman. I didn't expect this kid to behave this way. He's just like his father, a blood-sucking businessman."

"Don't worry. Whatever that's yours is yours. No one can take it away from you. Who the hell does Jepherson think he is? If he doesn't want to give it to you, then are you letting it go just like that? I don't care about others, but you're my apprentice. I'll make the best decision for you. I'll give you the best things in the world."

"But..."

"No 'but's. Rules are made by people. You can give them the money, but your work must be yours and can only be officially recognized as your product. You designed the car, so why don't you tell them? Jepherson is being ridiculous. You don't have to worry about this matter. Just follow my instructions."

Raeleigh kept her mouth shut.

Lamarre made the decision for Raeleigh just like that. Raeleigh didn't take it seriously. In fact, she didn't care about whether she owned the designs or not. She thought that those things were useless. Lamarre sat for a while and called out, "My dear apprentice."

Raeleigh said nothing as she felt uncomfortable. With Raeleigh failing to give an answer, Lamarre looked at her and said, "Didn't you hear me?"

Raeleigh cried out loud, "I'm here."

"Raeleigh."

Lamarre called. Raeleigh asked hurriedly, "What can I do for you?"

"You created three designs. How much bonus did Jepherson give you?" Lamarre began to ask questions like a manager.

Raeleigh told Lamarre everything. As a result, Lamarre's face slowly turned dark.

After hearing Raeleigh's words, Lamarre snorted. "He gave you three projects for a car and a house? Are you kidding me?"

When Lamarre was about to stand up, Raeleigh immediately said, "I received a scholarship from Elkton University. Phantasy Dream is my first design. Lanox was given to Mr. Harvey as a gift while Duke was an exchange for a house."

Raeleigh was quite clear that there was nothing wrong with that.

Lamarre said coldly, "You're generous. These three designs are worth at least two hundred million dollars. Call Jepherson now. I need to talk to him."

"Two, two hundred million dollars?" Raeleigh gasped. Did they cost that much?

Lamarre looked at her with an unpleasant face and said, "Lanox, a limited edition car. A hundred of that car is worth ten million dollars. Its reputation, charisma, and advertisements are far beyond the market value. You have to get at least ten million dollars."

"The production of Phantasy Dream is still in progress, but it should be on a large scale. As Lanox has made you popular, people are excited for Phantasy Dream. The market value of this car is likely to reach tens of millions. You can make a hundred and fifty million dollars in a blink of an eye. As for Duke, you can make about a hundred million dollars with ease. Now that it's still not on the right track yet, two hundred million dollars is the discounted price. Jepherson is too outrageous, thinking that he can use a house and a car to solve the problem. Put him on the phone right away."

Lamarre pointed to the phone. Raeleigh was speechless. Things were getting out of hand.

"Mr. Lee, I think we should let it go. If I make another design, then we'll talk about it later. How about this?" Raeleigh asked Lamarre. Lamarre looked at her. "Are you the teacher or am I the teacher?"

As Raeleigh refused to make the call, Lamarre called Jepherson himself. When the phone was picked up, Lamarre asked him for Raeleigh's bonus. Jepherson was silent for a few seconds before he answered "This is the company's rule. I can't do anything about it."

"Then, let's file a lawsuit." Lamarre hung up the phone, and all Jepherson heard was the beeping sound.
