Wife You Discarded is a Billionaire's Crush novel Chapter 187

Liliana put her phone down and met Nina's angry gaze.

"I spoke to Miss Woods on the phone."

This only intensified Nina's disapproval. "We're all adults here. If you don't want to do the project, you can say so directly. But to make up lies is just unacceptable!"

"Designer Shepherd, we discussed this, and you refused," Liliana felt compelled to remind her, finding Nina's sudden willingness to talk completely disingenuous.

Wasn't Nina the one who had flatly rejected the idea when she'd made it clear she wouldn't take Sylvia's project?

"So just because I disagreed, that gives you the right to lie? Do you take me and Miss Woods for fools?" Nina grew even angrier.

Liliana realized her last comment had been a mistake.

She stood up, her voice calm but firm. "I'm not lying. I spoke with Miss Woods on the phone the day it snowed, and she tacitly agreed that I would no longer be handling the Expo Manor design."

Nina didn't believe a word of it. "Whether you want to take Miss Woods's project or not, lying is wrong. You need to go apologize to her. If this gets out, your reputation in this industry will be ruined, and you'll drag me down with you!"

Having vented her frustration, Nina walked away.

The problem was now Liliana's to solve.

During that phone call, Sylvia hadn't explicitly said anything, and even if she had, Liliana had no proof. By that logic, she was in the wrong.

Liliana took her phone and went to the break room to call Sylvia.

She wasn't calling to apologize; she wanted to know what Sylvia was playing at.

Privately, Cedric wanted her to apologize to Sylvia.

Professionally, Nina was demanding the same.

How long was Sylvia going to drag this out? Was she truly not worried that Liliana would show the photos to Cedric, or was she just confident that she wouldn't dare?

She tried calling again and again. At first, no one answered. Then, the calls were immediately rejected.

When she tried one more time, the call wouldn't go through.

Sylvia had blocked her.
