Flirting Mistake: I Married My Ex's Billionaire Uncle Overnight-Chapter 778: Ruby Sinclair Publicly Humiliated

Chapter 778: Chapter 778: Ruby Sinclair Publicly Humiliated

As President Lennox’s words fell, the air around suddenly became heavy.

The journalists who were still photographing Ruby Sinclair were also stunned, completely unable to react.

After a long while, Julia Lane mumbled, "Manager Sinclair, this..."

Wasn’t President Lennox here because he accepted their invitation? Why would he say that now? Moreover, he clearly invested in them.

Ruby Sinclair gradually realized that she thought she knew Howard Chase, who had promised to invest in her, so President Lennox didn’t know about this matter.

She smiled and reminded, "President Lennox, your manager Howard Chase and I are friends, and we have collaborated on an investment. Perhaps Howard didn’t tell you, and that’s genuinely unfortunate."

Ruby Sinclair also convinced herself this way, even thinking that she would confront Howard Chase later about not telling President Lennox her affair, which nearly humiliated her in front of the journalists.

With Ruby Sinclair’s explanation, the awkward atmosphere around slowly eased.

Ruby Sinclair said this also to remind the journalists why President Lennox would deny the investment.

Sure enough, after hearing her words, the journalists on the side immediately showed a look of realization.

"So it was the manager who promised the investment. No wonder President Lennox just said he didn’t invest in Ruby Sinclair."

"I thought there was some misunderstanding."

"It seems to be a misunderstanding after all."

Just as Ruby Sinclair breathed a sigh of relief, President Lennox suddenly sneered and said, "Are you talking about Howard Chase?"

Ruby Sinclair nodded repeatedly, slightly curling her lips into a smile, gently said, "Yes, Howard Chase of H Investments. I am very good friends with him, and he facilitated our collaboration. I believe our future collaborations will be very pleasant."

Upon hearing this, President Lennox sneered.

He said lightly, "Howard Chase abused his position to cause the company considerable losses and was fired a week ago. Miss Sinclair, didn’t you know?"

Ruby Sinclair suddenly froze, her eyes wide open as she looked at President Lennox.

What did he mean?

Howard Chase was fired!

At this moment, Ruby Sinclair felt awful, as Howard Chase had only visited her yesterday, taking considerable advantage, and she had hoped to rely on him for help, bearing with him reluctantly.

Unexpectedly, Howard Chase had already been fired!

Had he been deceiving her all along?

Julia Lane was even more shocked upon hearing this, her eyes widening in disbelief. How could such a big event happen with H Investments, and how had she not known?

In fact, when President Lennox dealt with Howard Chase, it was not made public as per Julian Lancaster’s request, as he wanted to help Nina Sinclair, and President Lennox went along with the favor.

Ruby Sinclair stood there, her face white and unusually grim, unable to suppress it.

At this moment, President Lennox’s assistant hurriedly said, "President Lennox, I’m sorry. I got it wrong just now. The investment in Elysian is across the way. Let’s head over now."

President Lennox nodded and then turned and left with his assistant.

After President Lennox and his assistant departed, Ruby Sinclair and everyone around were completely stunned.

The journalists were even more bewildered, and after reacting, many hurriedly grabbed their cameras and started snapping photos of Ruby Sinclair.

After all, this was big news!

President Lennox of H Investments had invested in Sinclair Group, but it was Elysian he invested in, not Ruby Sinclair’s brand!

"Goodness, what is going on? Wasn’t it said that President Lennox of H Investments invested in Ruby Sinclair? How did it suddenly turn on its head?"

"Who could have expected this? I thought President Lennox came here to cooperate with Ruby Sinclair. Turns out it wasn’t the case."

"So when Ruby Sinclair went to President Lennox just now, claiming collaboration, it was truly embarrassing!"

"It’s hilarious. Could it be that President Lennox invested in Elysian, but Ruby Sinclair thought it was her?"

Amid a chorus of whispers, Ruby Sinclair’s expression almost couldn’t be maintained.

After a long while, she forced a smile and said nonchalantly to everyone, "I am aware of President Lennox’s investment in Elysian. Elysian is also part of Sinclair Group, so saying the Sinclair Group is cooperating with H Investments is not incorrect. Don’t overinterpret."

Hearing this, Julia Lane also helped to smooth things over.

The incident passed under the two’s forceful explanations.

Although Ruby Sinclair explained this way, everyone still felt that she had brazenly tried to establish rapport with President Lennox, only to get embarrassed by him.

To divert attention, Ruby Sinclair quickly asked Julia Lane to start the press conference.

...

Meanwhile, in Nina Sinclair’s banquet hall.

Because Elysian wasn’t well-known yet, the guests seemed quite sparse, even a bit sorry-looking.

Despite this, Millie Langley and others enthusiastically helped without any slack.

After all, they thought the press conference wouldn’t happen at first, and now being able to conduct it was already a good thing for them. Having fewer people wasn’t a problem; the key thing was to promote the Elysian brand first, and naturally, others would notice them later.

But Millie Langley had secretly checked the situation at Ruby Sinclair’s side and came back feeling down.

Millie Langley, full of worry, said to Nina Sinclair, "Manager Sinclair, I secretly checked the situation just now. Apparently, President Lennox of H Investments has come, but he went to the other side. If he was to invest in us, shouldn’t he be here?"

Nina Sinclair looked at her puzzled and asked, "President Lennox went to Ruby Sinclair’s side?"

"Yes, when I went over there, Ruby Sinclair was warmly greeting him, and there were many journalists. Manager Sinclair, do you think President Lennox has stood us up? Could he have changed his mind?"

Even though Millie was with Nina Sinclair for the negotiation, who knew if there would be any accidents?

Upon hearing this, Nina Sinclair laughed and said, "What are you thinking? Even if President Lennox has regrets, the funds are already in place. Are you still afraid the fish on the hook will escape?"

Upon hearing Nina Sinclair’s words, Millie Langley brightened up.

She said with delight, "You’re right! Manager Sinclair, I hadn’t thought of that."

Just then, someone rushed in and said, "President Lennox of H Investments is here!"

Millie Langley instantly became excited and said, "Manager Sinclair, it seems President Lennox hasn’t forgotten us; he’s really here!"

Nina Sinclair, sensing something was amiss that she didn’t know about, stood up and said, "Let’s go out and welcome President Lennox."
