Chapter 40 The moment George said that , the employees of Jamison Group froze . Mrs. Jamison ? Lauren was no Mrs. Jamison . Lauren's expression stiffened with awkwardness . Just then , the project team for the psychiatric facility arrived , along with a few local dignitaries . They were here to have dinner with George . " Oh , Mr. Snider . You're here already ? " Jaden asked . George shifted slightly and replied , " I just arrived . It's such a coincidence . I bumped into Mr. Jamison . " Carter was a well - known figure . After all , Jamison Group ranked first in the medical field across the entire southern tri - state area . He definitely had the influence . However , they had only exchanged a few brief greetings that day and didn't get the chance to talk in depth . And judging by the situation , there might not be a chance for that . Carter quickly shook Jaden's hand . " Mr. Dillon . " Jaden returned the smile politely . To everyone's surprise , George suddenly made introductions . " And this is Mrs. Jamison . " Carter's expression changed instantly . He wondered if Rhea had never told George that she was his wife . He had always assumed that Rhea only knew George because she had used her title as Mrs. Jamison . Lauren's expression grew increasingly uneasy . She didn't dare to reply . Indeed , she wanted to be Mrs. Jamison , but not like this . She wanted it to be rightful and legitimate . The people who just showed up were all prominent figures in Draventh . One of them was Isaac Walsh , the director of the psychiatric facility , who would oversee the inspections of the medical equipment . Isaac gave a friendly smile . " Mr. Jamison , you brought your wife along ? You two must be really close . " " Oh , so she's your wife ? I thought she was your secretary earlier today , " someone else said . Lauren turned her face to the side , too afraid to say a single word . Carter had a bad feeling and quickly tried to explain , " She's actually- " " Is she not your wife ? " George cut in . At that moment , Carter suddenly felt the overpowering presence of the man in front of him . He was suddenly reminded of what had happened back in Colburn . Right now , whether he admitted it or not , he was screwed either way . If he said that Lauren wasn't his wife , then he would essentially be admitting to lying in Colburn . To avoid pissing George off , Carter decided to go along with it . Even if George and Rhea knew each other , he didn't think it mattered . After all , Rhea was just a consultant . He 1/2 Chapter 40 +25 BONUS didn't think that George would risk offending the entire medical equipment industry of the southern tri - state area over her . At that thought , Carter pressed his lips together before saying , " Yes , she's my- The door suddenly opened . 11 The large crowd at the door took aback Louie . He quickly greeted them , " Mr. Snider , Mr. Dillon , Mr. Walsh . " He immediately picked up on the situation . He glanced at Carter , then purposely asked , " Mr. Jamison , you're still here ? " Jaden asked , " Are you two having dinner together ? " " No , " Louie replied , smiling . " Mr. Jamison just came to see Ms. Ravelle . He was hoping that she could wrap up work early and head home to take care of his kids . " Jaden looked puzzled . " He wants Ms. Ravelle to take care of his kids ? " He couldn't understand it . The partnership with Scott Group was already a done deal , so showing concern was merely a matter of courtesy . After that day's round of meetings , everyone was particularly impressed with Rhea . Although she was young , she was highly professional , sharp - eyed , and quick - witted . She was definitely someone worth getting to know . With a trace of confusion , Louie asked , " Mr. Dillon , you didn't know ? My bad . I forgot to introduce you . " Ms. Ravelle is actually Mr. Jamison's wife . She has been busy looking after her stepchildren over the past few years . But now that she's here for a business trip , Mr. Jamison's a little worried and wants her home soon . " Jaden instinctively turned to look at Lauren . " Then ... who's this ? " After all , they had just seen Carter about to admit that the woman next to him was his wife .
