The Unshackled Queen: Never Say Never
Chapter 862

“Enough already!” Jaylin declared, his tone final.

Surrounded by colleagues, he had no desire to cause a scene.

“Shut up! Present her with the proposal first.

”

Obligingly, the team leader handed over the document to Lydia with due reverence.

“Miss Phillips, this is the proposal.

”

Lydia’s expression grew increasingly concerned as she perused the document.

She promptly shut the proposal.

Massaging her temples, she inquired, “Who is responsible for this proposal?”

The team leader hesitated, his eyes flickering towards Henry.

“It was…”

Henry, seizing the moment, declared with pride, “What seems to be the problem? I’m the author of the proposal.

Lydia, unimpressed, retorted as she discarded the proposal, “You?

You’d need triple the wit to have crafted this!”

She then assured Jaylin with unwavering certainty, “Give me one week, and I guarantee we’ll have this project secured!”

Henry’s confidence wavered at Lydia’s bold claim, a seed of doubt planting itself at the prospect of her success.

He scoffed, “A week? That’s an eternity! Are you stalling deliberately, avoiding engagement?”

Lydia met his gaze calmly.

“Does striving for success impede my engagement?”

“Dad, she’s not to be trusted.

There’s no telling what she’s planning.

Perhaps even to abandon our family.

”

Jaylin couldn’t dismiss Henry’s reasoning.

Lydia’s sudden vested interest in company matters did appear dubious.

With a creased brow, he faced Lydia and began, “You, “Give me five days.

If the project isn’t mine in that time, I’m out of the company,” Lydia promised solemnly, looking straight at Jaylin.

“Dad, it’s not my intention to interfere.

But a friend knows someone in tech who could secure this client for us.

Wouldn’t it benefit us to seek their aid.

Facing the Phillips’ family’s current tribulations, Jaylin was loath to forfeit a promising deal, despite his suspicions of Lydia.
