I Quit Being a StepMother Novel

Chapter 240 The representatives of the other foreign companies shared the same opinion . +25 BONUS Neither of those two projects was the best choice . With other excellent opportunities available , why didn't Rhea even glance at them ? Carter spoke up . " Rhea , you haven't been in this field long . You need to be very careful when selecting projects for Mr. Deleon . " Marcus briefly considered it before saying , " Maybe Ms. Ravelle just prefers a more conservative approach . Those two projects won't make a fortune , but at least they won't lose money .

" The foreign investors frowned , thinking that it wasn't enough . They hadn't traveled such a distance just for a couple of safe , break - even ventures . Rhea looked at Carter . " Mr. Jamison , aside from the medical equipment industry , have you done any research or market visits in the other industries ? " Carter froze when he heard those words because he hadn't . Rhea was ruthless . " If you know nothing , then don't speak. " She didn't want to give him the slightest bit of courtesy . From Jack's brief words earlier , Rhea was certain that Carter must have met with him in private .

And Jack seemed unusually aware of the fact that Rhea and Carter had once been married . With that , Rhea suspected that Carter was trying to leverage the Ravelle family name for his own gain . There was no way she would allow it . She also wouldn't have Jack liaise with Carter for his construction investments . Marcus tried to smooth things over . " There's no need to be so harsh , Ms. Ravelle . After all , you're still technically married . " At that , a business owner who had come with George chuckled and asked , " Mr.

Cain , do you think that a marriage where one is already living with a mistress can still be called a marriage ? " Jack just blinked . He couldn't really intervene in someone else's family affairs . However , he had experienced firsthand the sharpness of Rhea's judgment . He took the two project files . " I'll consider your advice , Ms. Ravelle . " Nathan added , " Mr. Deleon , if you decide to proceed , the Ravelle family is willing to cover all costs . You'll only need to handle the construction itself .

" 1/2 Chapter 240 +25 BONUS The Ravelle family would buy the land and handle subsequent promotion , Jack would manage the construction , and the Snider family would oversee medical support during the project . It was a perfect triad of collaboration . Watching the scene unfold , Marcus said , " Mr. Deleon , you've just arrived in Draventh . There's no need to rush any decisions . Let's take it easy today and just enjoy our reunion . I'll host a dinner in a day or two so we can sit down and talk . " Rhea caught Marcus ' intent . It seemed that he was trying to win Jack over .

Jack's company was one of the top international developers . He had built venues for multiple international sports events . Rhea turned to Jack . " Mr. Deleon , I can't promise everything , but if you want to develop commercial buildings in Dalea , no one offers a more secure investment than the Ravelle family . " The implication of her words was clear - money wasn't something he needed to worry about . But if Jack didn't choose the Ravelle family , any attempt to secure sponsorship or investment in Dalea would fail .

No investment company would work with him without the Ravelle family's approval . The two projects Rhea had chosen were tied to national initiatives . Any overseas investment entering Draventh required Liam's approval . Without it , even wealth couldn't attract investors . That was the Ravelle family's leverage . Jack promised , " I'll consider it very carefully . " The conversation then turned away from business . Glasses were raised , and the casual drinking began . " Mr. Deleon , I'll toast to you , " Carter said , wheeling over . Jack held his glass , then gently set it down , smiling .

" Mr. Jamison , your body hasn't fully recovered . So , you should limit your alcohol intake . " That was clearly a polite refusal .
