Wife You Discarded is a Billionaire's Crush novel Chapter 149

"So how do you plan to play?" Liliana asked, her lips pressed into a thin line. She had no choice but to negotiate. "What do you want?"

"Don't look so scared. All I want is for you to put your full effort into designing the Expo Manor villa. Go back and do it again. Properly this time."

Sylvia's demand was surprisingly simple. Pushing Liliana too far would do her no good.

Liliana was confused. "That's it?"

"Yes, that's it," Sylvia said with a dazzling smile.

The request was far less severe than Liliana had anticipated. She'd even thought Sylvia might use this to force her to divorce Cedric. But then she realized Sylvia probably knew that the decision to divorce wasn't hers to make.

"Fine," Liliana agreed. "I'll keep redesigning the house until you're satisfied."

Just as she finished speaking, Nina returned from ordering.

Sylvia stood up, grabbing her purse. "You two enjoy your meal. I've already discussed everything with Designer Preston, so I'll be going."

Nina, who had just sat down, immediately stood up again to see her out. "Sylvia, aren't you going to eat something?"

"No, thanks," Sylvia said as she walked away. "My boyfriend and I already ate…"

Their voices faded down the hall. A few minutes later, Nina came back to the table.

"So, what were Ms. Woods's issues with your design?" she asked.

Nina knew Liliana hadn't designed a house in two years and couldn't possibly pour all her energy into this one project. Liliana's submission had been competent but uninspired, though some of the smaller details had pleasantly surprised Nina.
