Chapter 2471: Chapter 2475

Thiago let out a derisive chuckle.

“Has the company really run out of options to the point that they’ve put a woman in charge?”

Rosalynn’s face remained impassive.

“What’s wrong with a woman leading? At least a woman uses her brain to think, not just her instincts after a few drinks.

”

Her words carried a weighty implication as she glanced over at Scarlet, who stood there defiantly.

Scarlet returned her gaze with a mix of shame and anger flaring in her eyes.

Thiago’s expression soured, clearly offended by the mockery.

“Mrs.

Hughes, the choice of our business partners is mine to make.

I no longer wish to collaborate with Hughes Group.

I prefer working with Bowen’s company,” he declared firmly.

Upon hearing this, a triumphant smile spread across Scarlet’s face.

“Rosalynn, did you catch that? No matter how clever you think you are, the real world doesn’t bend.

Ultimately, women can’t outdo men,” she taunted.

“I suggest you go home and rest during your pregnancy.

With some luck, you might have a son who could continue Brian’s legacy.

When he’s older, you can gradually prepare him to take over Hughes Group.

But then again, who knows what will become of Hughes Group by that time? Brian isn’t the only Hughes around.

Doesn’t he have an uncle?”

Rosalynn’s eyes flickered, troubled by Scarlet’s words.

It seemed that Scarlet’s reference to Chase was a deliberate provocation.

Perhaps, following Aldrich’s accident, Chase had already schemed with Scarlet’s father.

“Enough of this foolishness.

Mr.

Blake, let’s proceed,” Bowen interrupted, eager to move on.

He was in a hurry to wrap up the negotiations, eager to sign the contract with Thiago as quickly as possible.

Thiago, reacting swiftly, reached for the pen, poised to finalize the deal.

At that moment, the door swung open.

“Rosalynn, I am here.

”

Rosalynn turned toward Valeria who was entering, and said with a smile, “You’re right in time.

”

Valeria, clad in an elegant haute couture dress and high heels, strode into the room.

Her eyes scanned the surroundings before fixing on a surprised Thiago.

“Thiago, are you tied up with something?”

Thiago quickly recovered from his surprise and replied, “Oh, it’s you, Valeria.

Why are you here?”

“Kallie sent me over.

” Valeria moved with elegance to his side.

At the mention of his wife, Thiago straightened up somewhat.

“And why did she send you? Just so you know, I’m in the middle of important business here.

”
