Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 1073

"I understand your point, Mr. Lee, but there's one more thing I have to mention that you may not have considered." Jepherson hesitated for a moment and reached out to hold Raeleigh's hand. Raeleigh didn't flinch. Since it was the truth, she believed that Lamarre would not spread the news if he was acting in her best interests.

Jepherson looked at Raeleigh with affection while she, on the other hand, didn't say anything. Jepherson put Raeleigh's hand down on his lap. He then looked at Lamarre and said, "Raeleigh is pregnant. This may affect your lessons, but if she is well enough, then I won't interfere."

Lamarre sat still with a frown on his face. After a while, he said with a scoff, "You're quite capable."

Jepherson smiled and said, "Mr. Lee, the matter I mentioned that you may not have considered is Raeleigh's wellbeing."

"Mr. Lee, you and I know that the competition in the current work field is intense. If one is not careful, then one will get hurt. If Raeleigh becomes successful right now, then there's no doubt that someone will do something bad that catches us off guard. Therefore, I hope for Raeleigh to remain under the radar for now. All her designs are temporarily handed over to the company to be managed. Of course, Raeleigh's ability will be made public sooner or later, but not now."

"In addition, if Raeleigh becomes famous, then the Richards Group will have the definite power to keep Raeleigh attached to the company for a lifetime. Besides, there will be no money talk, and it will not be an obstacle for us to come to an agreement as well."

"If other companies want to take Raeleigh under their wings, then the Richards Group will do whatever we can to do the same. A part of it is out of my own selfishness. Raeleigh is the future wife of the vice president of the Richards Group. I will certainly reward her and give her the recognition she deserves as her husband. I wonder if that is enough to convince you, Mr. Lee?"

What else could Lamarre say? They were family. It seemed as if he was intruding in their family affairs.

However, Lamarre said, "Since Raeleigh is my student, if she can't get what she deserves in the future, then I will make you pay."

"That won't be a problem." Jepherson smiled, and his grip on Raeleigh's hand slowly loosened. What Raeleigh was worthy of should be given to Raeleigh, and nothing would be less. Everything would be fine as long as he was there.

Raeleigh blushed as she sat on one side, not knowing what to say.

No matter what, they made it seem like it was none of her business.

Afterwards, Lamarre said, "So, according to what you said, I guess there won't be a recruiting ceremony?"

"Of course, but Mr. Lee, I don't think you care about this type of ceremony," Jepherson said with a smile.

Lamarre's face darkened. "Who said I don't?"

Raeleigh was speechless...

That old man was getting more interesting by the second.

Jepherson glanced at Raeleigh and said, "We can have this apprentice ceremony at a later date. However, I do not wish for Raeleigh to be disturbed, so I hope you can postpone this ceremony for now."

After a long time, Lamarre didn't get the upper hand at all. Raeleigh thought that Lamarre wanted to take on a grand apprentice recruitment ceremony, but he was persuaded back by Jepherson's words.

Raeleigh didn't know either. Was it because Jepherson was very eloquent or that Lamarre's ability to adapt was not as good as that of Jepherson? All in all, Jepherson won that battle.

As for Lamarre, Jepherson had already shown enough respect for him by addressing him as Mr. Lee. He also announced in front of Lamarre that they were having a child. Lamarre was open-minded. For the sake of Jepherson's attitude towards him, Lamarre also won't make things too difficult forthem.

Lamarre looked at Raeleigh, who was sitting still on one side, and said, "Weren't we going out for dinner? Let's go. I'm hungry."
