At this mont, The Hawthorne Group.
Jordan Hawthorne indeed received the invitation to the conference.
Although the previous scandal was ugly, The Hawthorne Group has been involved in the AI field for many years and has achieved success, so naturally they can’t be absent.
However, when Chase Lynch ca to report, his expression was obviously a bit complicated, "According to the information I’ve received, the award-winning project of the company should be the fifth generation ’Red Warmth’ system."
Jordan was taken aback.
The system developed by The Hawthorne Group has already upgraded to the sixth generation.
So why is the award going to the fifth?
As if seeing his confusion, Chase explained, "It seems to be because this system was developed by Miss Sabrina!
Now, she is no longer unknown in the industry... The system she cooperated on with Josee is still unmatched.
Many industry giants are deeply interested in her, bringing strong attention to the old system she originally developed..."
In other words, The Hawthorne Group received the award thanks to Sabrina Hayes.
After hearing this, Jordan’s expression was a bit remarkable.
He never imagined that the reason The Hawthorne Group won the award was because of Sabrina Hayes.
At that ti, before the divorce, that woman was decidedly unremarkable.
Why did she start shining bright after leaving?
Was he truly overlooking her?
Jordan isn’t willing to admit his mistake in judging people.
Yet recent events continuously remind him that Brooke... is simply not a match for Sabrina Hayes!
Seeing his silence, Chase also felt a bit emotional.
As a bystander, he saw the current situation of Sabrina Hayes and Brooke Sinclairs much clearer.
Although the forr didn’t make remarkable achievents at The Hawthorne Group back then, she was stable and never made mistakes.
Until today, she continues to bring steady profits to The Hawthorne Group.
Whereas Brooke Sinclairs, starting with great fanfare, created an image of a returning elite, but ended up rely bullying her way in the departnt, catastrophically handling business affairs.
Even the sixth-generation system upgrade was built upon Sabrina Hayes’ accomplishnts.
Despite this, she boasts all the credit is hers.
Only a love-struck CEO would believe such things.
Despite his inner grumbling, Chase still asked, "So... are we still attending this summit?"
Jordan’s face wasn’t great, yet it didn’t affect his calm deanor, "Why wouldn’t we? Even if the fifth-generation system was developed by her, it was during her ti at The Hawthorne Group, this honor naturally belongs to The Hawthorne Group, it’s unreasonable to refuse."
Not to ntion, The Hawthorne Group urgently needs a formal occasion to restore the lost reputation.
Regardless, attendance is mandatory!
He says this, yet the matter left him feeling uneasy, causing his frustration to rise anew.
Later, as Chase left, Jordan got up and poured a glass of wine, drinking it in one go.
Sabrina Hayes...
What is your purpose behind all this effort to showcase yourself?
Trying to prove to that I can’t do without you?
If so, these are still not enough!
...
Hawthorne Manor.
These days, Brooke indeed felt particularly uneasy and anxious about her situation, just as Tessa had predicted.
The collapse of The Sinclair Family has stripped away all her advantages and bargaining chips.
Even in The Hawthorne Family, she can’t stand tall.
A few days ago, when she went to the Hawthorne’s mansion to wish Dad Hawthorne and his wife a happy New Year, she was treated with unprecedented coldness.
This made her even more worried that one day, she would be abandoned by Jordan Hawthorne, following Sabrina Hayes’ footsteps.
Mrs. Sinclairs was also very anxious about this and called to warn her, "Nowadays, clinging tightly to Jordan is the Sinclair Family’s only chance to rise again.
If Veridia’s workplace can’t accommodate you, why not take this opportunity to get closer to him, and if possible, quickly have a child.
If you can secure your position as Mrs. Hawthorne through motherhood, wouldn’t you be accepted by the family?"
Brooke didn’t comnt on this.
Using a child to bind a man has always seed a low tactic to her.
She secretly feels a bit disdainful.
She believes that Jordan’s affection for her isn’t based on superficial things.
However, Mrs. Sinclairs’ next words hit her hard, "Just now, your father found out that Veridia is hosting a top summit, and Sabrina Hayes is among the invited, receiving unparalleled attention.
Her comrcial value is now entirely different, countless first-rate companies are eager to cooperate with her, do you know what this ans?
It ans that her status will soar, reaching a height to be admired by many.
If your abilities are lacking, then take advantage of Jordan’s lingering affection and have more children, lest The Hawthorne Family realizes Sabrina Hayes is still better, and eventually expels you in favor of her."
Those last words were particularly harsh.
It’s like implying her only value lies in her ability to give birth!
Brooke’s face twisted in anger, her tone tainted by fury, "Are you really speaking about your daughter this way?"
Mrs. Sinclairs’ voice was increasingly harsh, "Isn’t our current plight because of who? If it weren’t for you, would your father and I be this miserable? I’m telling you, Brooke, if you had any ability, things wouldn’t have collapsed to this extent.
This is what you owe The Sinclair Family, you must pull the family out of this mire through Jordan!"
After saying this, as if unwilling to waste any more words, Mrs. Sinclairs directly hung up the phone.
Brooke stood clutching her phone, trembling with anger.
She felt deeply angry and resentful.
Before all of this, everyone looked down on Sabrina Hayes, thinking she was incapable.
But in a short ti, she beca the subject of praise, even her parents used her to belittle Brooke.
That bitch Sabrina Hayes, what gives her the right???
She’s just a product packaged by The Sheffield Group, why should she ride over ?
The more she thought about it, the angrier Brooke Sinclairs beca, unwilling to admit defeat like this.
It’s just a summit, isn’t it?
She can go too!
She wouldn’t allow Sabrina Hayes to hog all the lilight!
Thinking of this, Brooke Sinclairs got up and returned to her room, took a luxurious petal bath, then put on a sexy lace camisole nightgown, spritzed on so perfu, and quietly waited for Jordan Hawthorne to return.
That evening, Jordan Hawthorne arrived ho around nine o’clock.
When he entered, he didn’t see Brooke Sinclairs, but he saw Sonny.
Sonny seed to be specifically waiting for him to return, and as soon as he saw him, he rushed over, saying, "Dad Hawthorne, why are you so late?"
Jordan Hawthorne loosened his collar and asked blandly, "Is there sothing you need?"
Sonny looked up and said directly, "I want Dad Hawthorne to buy this limited edition model... Today, at kindergarten, a classmate bragged about it and said I couldn’t afford it!
He bullied , and I want to hit back hard."
Jordan Hawthorne frowned slightly at this.
"Hit back for what? You should focus on studying well right now."
He seed displeased by Sonny’s behavior and imdiately lectured him a bit.
Sonny heard this and couldn’t help showing a bit of grievance on his face, "But, mom said before, as long as she and Dad Hawthorne are together, I can have whatever I want..."
Jordan Hawthorne frowned even more deeply.
Although this wasn’t wrong, and usually he would et Sonny’s demands.
But for so reason, today he felt a bit impatient with this entitled attitude.
He couldn’t help but think of Zara and Sabrina Hayes.
That mother and daughter duo never proactively asked him for things...
His mood grew more irritable, and after casually dismissing Sonny, he went back to the room.
As he opened the door, a seductive scent greeted him.
He raised his eyes and saw Brooke Sinclairs dressed sexily, walking toward him.
The woman’s figure was curvy and the thin lacy nightgown made her curves tantalizingly apparent, highly alluring.
Jordan Hawthorne’s gaze deepened, his body’s instinctual impulses stirred.
As she approached, he was a bit impatient, as their intimacy intensified, the nightgown almost got torn in half.
Brooke Sinclairs felt arrogant about her tried-and-true thods, nearly exerting all her efforts to please the man.
In the heat of passion, she spoke, "Jordan, I heard that there will be a top summit in a few days, and The Hawthorne Group is on the invited list, will you take there too?"
Upon hearing that, the man who was overwheld with emotion suddenly cooled a bit, and the lustful gaze also cleared.
"What are you going for?"
Brooke Sinclairs didn’t notice his point, her eyes fluttering as she said, "Although I made mistakes before, I’m still part of this industry, in the future, I will eventually return to my position, I still want to be by your side and don’t want to be left behind, so... will you take , okay?"
Jordan Hawthorne’s actions suddenly stopped being urgent, his tone remained bland, "You can have other things your way, but not this ti."
He knew well who the protagonist of this summit was.
Taking Brooke Sinclairs with him would only make things awkward.
But Brooke Sinclairs didn’t realize his insincerity, and began to act coy and clingy.
Usually, whenever she softened, Jordan Hawthorne would relent.
But tonight, no matter how many tricks she employed, the man remained unmoved.
Eventually, even the intimacy ended rather perfunctorily.
As Jordan Hawthorne pulled away, a trace of boredom flickered in his eyes.
Brooke Sinclairs didn’t see it, but she was utterly shocked.
She hadn’t expected Jordan Hawthorne to refuse her under such circumstances.
Her thods seed to start failing?
...
Sabrina Hayes rested at ho for two days, and her leg fully recovered.
Without any delay, she dived right back into the research institute, starting to get busy.
Before the Lantern Festival, the Young couple finally brought Zara back.
The little one had been away from mommy for so many days but seed to have had a blast.
Yet no sooner did Zara see her mom, she rushed over and hugged her, sweetly saying, "Missed mommy so much..."
Sabrina Hayes held the little bundle, her heart lting, but she intentionally teased, "Really? I think you clearly didn’t miss coming back!"
"Really, missed mommy so..."
Little Zara in her arms snuggled while acting coy, her voice even softer.
Sabrina Hayes couldn’t resist at all.
Since little Zara’s autism improved, she seed to know how to make people happy.
Moreover, this ti being separated from her for such a long ti didn’t have much impact, surprisingly.
Out of caution, she still inford Jasper Fitzgerald about Zara’s return.
Jasper Fitzgerald replied, "The treatnt plan is ready, eting tomorrow to discuss?"
"Okay."
Sabrina Hayes had no objections.
Jasper Fitzgerald sent another ssage, asking, "Do you like watching movies?"
Sabrina Hayes felt her heart jump.
Why... would he ask that?
Could it be an invitation to watch a movie together???
