Shrouded Affections Winning Back My CEO Wife

Chapter 1217:

After all, Gerry had never intended to collaborate with Amoura from the start. Given the Deleon family’s recent return and their strong presence, it was not suitable for him to outright reject them.

It became clear that Gerry never intended to collaborate with the Deleon Group from the start, rather than suggesting that Eileen had stolen the Roseair project from them midway.

“Of course, I’ll get ready right away,” Gerry responded quickly before leaving.

Amoura sighed with relief as Gerry exited the room. She turned to Presley and asked sharply, “What did you say to her this time? Why is it that you always manage to embarrass the Deleon family?”

“It’s not that I always embarrass the Deleon family,” Presley retorted. “Rather, I find myself embarrassed because of the Deleon family!” She was about to continue but suddenly thought of something and changed her words. “How long have you been a member of the Deleon family? Maybe you shouldn’t be so quick to judge if you don’t know the whole story.”

After saying this, Presley walked over to the long table with an icy demeanor. She grabbed a glass of red wine, the same one Eileen had dismissed for its poor quality, and drained it in one gulp.

Amoura cast a fleeting glance at Presley’s retreating figure before turning back with a renewed smile, ready to mingle with the others. The Deleon family wielded immense power overseas, making it clear that few would dare to cross them. Even though Amoura had a bad relationship with the Dawson family, it was of no concern to them.

Gradually, the atmosphere in the room settled back into a calm state. Most conversations shifted to discussing that Gerry was about to sign the contract with Amoura.

Amoura’s arrogance was evident since she had noticed that Gerry hadn’t talked much with Eileen.

Approximately ten minutes later, Gerry reentered the room, clutching a document in hand. The words on the cover suggested that the document was the contract for the Roseair project.

A shiver of unease swept through Amoura.

Moments ago, during her conversation with Gerry, he had hinted that the contract signing might not happen tomorrow. She had assumed the situation had changed, but now it seemed Gerry intended to sign the contract right then and there. Was this sudden urgency because Eileen had been particularly stern and threatening during their recent conversation? Had Gerry’s frustration with Eileen’s assertiveness pushed him to want to seal the deal with the Deleon Group in front of everyone now?

As Amoura thought about this, she felt even more excited. She purposely adopted a determined posture, as if she were close to getting what she wanted.

“Hello, everyone,” Gerry’s voice echoed as he stood on the elevated platform, brandishing the contract with a flourish. “The Roseair project represents the culmination of my efforts over the past several years. Securing the right investor has always been my top priority. We have been looking for someone who not only has the financial backing but also brings a fresh perspective to the project…”

Gerry provided a succinct overview of the Roseair project, drawing everyone’s attention.

With her arms crossed over her chest, Eileen stood at the front of the crowd, looking calm.

Several people stood between Eileen and the Deleon family members, who cast occasional glances of disdain in Eileen’s direction. Everyone sensed the subtle tension between them, and they watched in silence, eager to see who would emerge victorious this time.
