The bidding time was ten in the morning, and Sophie Wilson and her team arrived an hour early.

After settling their luggage, they headed to the conference hall.

Upon entering, they realized there were indeed quite a few people.

Just for this renovation bid, there were several companies.

Sophie was searching for their spot when someone greeted them first: "President Wilson, President Seymour."

Sophie looked up and couldn’t help but laugh; it was someone she knew.

Isn’t this Miss Lee, the one who previously came to their company to stir up trouble?

"Miss Lee, a pleasure to meet you," Sophie said with a smile. Why was this woman who had animosity toward Lucy here? 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

With Charles standing there, Sophie Lee didn’t dare to say much. She just regretfully shook her head and said, "President Wilson, you might be disappointed with this bid."

"Actually, I think your company’s qualifications are pretty good, but... it’s because of certain people that this bid will fail." Sophie Lee cast a meaningful glance at Lucy Wells, her insinuation was clear enough.

Lucy’s heart skipped a beat; she knew Sophie Lee fancied Kai, but she didn’t expect this person to be so shameless, to use public affairs for personal grudges!

Seeing Lucy nervously squeezing her fingers, Sophie Lee smirked with satisfaction.

Hmph, pit herself against her, Lucy doesn’t even realize what she’s up against!

"If we fail, we fail, it doesn’t matter," Sophie said with a bright smile, unconcerned, "Bidding is just for fun, if it works, great; if not, whatever. Who bets a lifelong career on a single project?"

Sophie’s words made Sophie Lee’s smile freeze. She gritted her teeth and said, "President Wilson, you’ve got some courage."

Sophie waved her hand, amused, and said, "It’s not about courage, it’s just that I’m not short on money."

Sophie Lee was left choking, feeling a sense of disdain in her heart.

Sophie’s behavior was truly like that of a nouveau riche, how did Charles fancy such a person?

Sophie Lee glanced at Charles and noticed that not only was there no disdain on his face, but his eyes were filled with a subtle, indulgent smile, all focused on Sophie.

What kind of taste does Charles have?

Sophie Lee was frustrated to the point of almost spitting blood.

"Then I won’t bother you any longer, President Wilson." Sophie Lee quickly ended the conversation and hurried back to her seat.

There’s really no way to talk with Sophie, after just a short chat, her heart felt stabbed, bleeding profusely.

Sophie really is shameless, thinking she’s so great with Charles backing her up.

Well, Sophie and Lucy are good friends, and the two are definitely birds of a feather, both liking to rely on wealthy men.

Hmph!

She was going to be the righteous one, revealing the true faces of Sophie and Lucy!

"Is she sick or something?" Sophie whispered to Lucy after they sat down, "What’s my brother doing, can’t even handle a single woman? If he continues being so wishy-washy, I’ll introduce you to a new man! Kick my brother out."

Edward Palmer overheard a bit, and cautiously scooted to the side; President Wilson’s temper was really fiery, even digging at her own brother’s corner, that’s something else.

Lucy hurriedly defended Kai Bright, "She’s the one who wouldn’t give up. She’s the one who called Kai’s parents, that’s why they came back to the country, for our families to meet."

"But it didn’t work out for her. Instead, our two families finalized things, and that night when she thought she’d watch the drama, she ended up getting infuriated."
