Go After My Ex-wife
Chapter 1072 Considered Her Life Guide

Before Jepherson arrived, Raeleigh had been pacing back and forth in the room. She felt that she had some sort of responsibility in that matter. She was the one who did not explain it properly to Lamarre. Although it was for her own good, he was a bit out of the line.

After all, she had promised the school principal that all her designs would be given to the company. The designs before her graduation did not belong to her. How could she go back on her own word? Moreover, there was a rule in the company. From the way Jepherson phrased it, it was difficult to convince the public.

Raeleigh pondered for a while. She had been waiting in Lamarre's office until Jepherson came over.

Soon, Jepherson arrived at the door. Although he was the company's vice president, Lamarre was considered a senior member of the company. He himself was still young. Jepherson had been in contact with Lamarre, but Lamarre had always looked down upon him. Lamarre could be said to regard money as dirt and didn't think that his reputation was the most important thing in the world.

Stuart stepped back as Jepherson knocked on the door. Raeleigh stood up. As an apprentice, wasn't she supposed to serve tea to her teacher and greet the guests?

Lamarre was sitting down as Raeleigh opened the door for Jepherson. When she saw that it was Jepherson, she blushed.

Raeleigh looked at Jepherson. She wanted to signal him that she didn't think that way, but she didn't know how the situation had turned sour. Raeleigh knew all the other things and could handle them well, but she didn't know why she couldn't explain it clearly when it came to Lamarre.

Jepherson looked at her and said, "I booked a restaurant. We're having a meal with Mr. Lee."

Raeleigh heaved a sigh of relief after hearing Jepherson's words and instantly calmed down a lot.

"Alright."

Raeleigh nodded. When she closed the door, she heard Lamarre say, "I didn't agree to dine with him. How dare you?"

Raeleigh was stunned and turned around to have a look. Jepherson acted as if nothing had happened and didn't wait for Lamarre to ask him to take a seat, pulling a chair over to sit down by himself. He looked at Lamarre and said faintly, "I think the signal was bad during the call we had. I couldn't hear what you said before it was automatically hung up. Why do you want to see me?"

Raeleigh figured that Jepherson must have a backup plan since he could say that, so she remained silent.

Raeleigh stood behind Jepherson, without taking her seat.

Lamarre, who was sitting across from Raeleigh, was displeased. "You're not here to be bullied. Why don't you sit down?"

Raeleigh then pulled a chair over and sat down, thinking otherwise.

As soon as Raeleigh sat, Lamarre said, "What did you say?"

Jepherson repeated, "I'm asking about the reason you called me."

"Didn't you hear? I spoke about Raeleigh's bonus. According to the current financial situation, Raeleigh doesn't need to take all the money for her car designs now. But at least give one percent of the bonus to her, please."

Lamarre was a wise man. Raeleigh also thought that two hundred million dollars was too much to handle.

Raeleigh glanced at Jepherson as he said with a smile, "I already told Raeleigh this matter. We must follow the company's rules. I can't change the company's system because of my relationship with her. It's not reasonable. How am I going to convince so many people? I can't do it, not ever."

Lamarre's face darkened. "Your relationship with Raeleigh? What's that? Did you announce your relationship to everyone in the company? No, I don't think so."

"Our conditions are reasonable. If the company refuses to give her the same treatment as other designers, then I reckon that it'll be more difficult to convince the public."

After saying that, Lamarre opened Raeleigh's drawing book and showed it to Jepherson. "We're all designers. You should realize how much wealth Raeleigh's talent can create. I don't think how you handle Raeleigh's matter is appropriate."

Lamarre became more and more agitated. Raeleigh watched as Jepherson was calm throughout the talk. In the end, he said, "Since you think so, I'll call the president and tell him about it. Let's follow his arrangement."

"After all, two hundred million dollars is not a small number. Raeleigh is still a college student. She has signed an agreement with us. If we don't fulfil the conditions on the contract and award Raeleigh, then the other designers will think that they have no rights. It is unfair that she's given special treatment just because she's your student."

Even if the Harvey Group risks being sued for this, we won't back down."

Raeleigh breathed a sigh of relief. Judging from Jepherson's aggressive expression, she figured that she could not take the two hundred million dollars.

"It's useless to use Calvin to pressure me," Lamarre said. Jepherson added, "Mr. Lee, you're a senior member of the company. You're the backbone of the Harvey Group. If you want to get Raeleigh two hundred million dollars, then I don't know how the media will report this matter. Maybe the media will make it easy for you, but I don't think that will be the case for Raeleigh."

"Raeleigh has just entered the company. How would other people think?"

"Will they say that Raeleigh is greedy for power and wealth or that she's cunning? That she first got close to the Harvey family to get to know Mr. Lee and become his student. And finally, she obtained the fame and fortune she wanted."

Lamarre said with a frown, "You've had so much to say about how Raeleigh has too little experience, has just entered the company, and isn't qualified to take a bonus that's worth two hundred million dollars. In this case, I guess I'll bring her somewhere else where people will actually appreciate her talents."

"Mr. Lee, I understand that you appreciate Raeleigh's talents and care for her, but she has just started her career. I thought it would be better for her to take baby steps in achieving her goal, to slowly build her foundation, than to seek fortune with just one stride. If Raeleigh is really capable, then she can create her own value at all times. I believe that we have the same thoughts. In that case, why are you challenging me?"

"I don't understand what you're saying. I only know you're not giving Raeleigh the chance to showcase her talents because you're worried that she'll become famous and be snatched by other companies. In that case, she may not work for your company anymore." Lamarre's words were beyond Raeleigh's expectations.

Jepherson thought for a moment and looked at Raeleigh, saying, "You are partially correct. It is in the interest of the company. Therefore, no matter how outstanding the designer is, they must work and create profit for the company once they accept our scholarships. The wealth created during this period of time will be returned to the company's management. We can award the designers as encouragement, but it doesn't mean that they will be treated like you, a senior designer that has formally entered the company, where you're given rewards of higher value than your commission for each design as a sign of motivation."

"No matter how you put it, you're saying that we have to follow the rules. In fact, you don't want Raeleigh to get popular because you know there are a lot of people after her talents." Lamarre was very unhappy. As a mentor, he had to fight for his apprentice.

Raeleigh looked at Lamarre. She didn't expect that her teacher, whom she met by chance, would be willing to fight for her. She didn't know whether he could be considered her life guru.
