Harvard was getting ready when he turned around and saw that Thomas, as well as Emma, were also there. He subconsciously laughed out loud.“My vision isn't blurry, right? What are both of you doing here? Are you enjoying the scenery?”Thomas looked over. “We’re doing the same thing as you.”“Haha, are you also here to bid? This is hilarious. Who are you to be here?”“Thomas, do you still want to rely on the general officer to help you out?“I’m telling you, this bidding isn’t a memorial service. You can’t fool anyone here!”Richard waved his hand. “Stop talking. No matter what happens, Emma is still one of the Hill family members. There’s no disadvantage for us if she participates in the bidding. The more people, the stronger we are.”“Grandpa, I’m just afraid that they’ll make things worse.”Richard frowned. He contemplated for a while before he said to Emma, “Harvard’s right. Emma, you better go back. Harvard and I are enough to represent the Hill family here. If the deputy d
“You two should stop daydreaming.“The bidding is certainly in my bag! You guys should just get lost! Hahaha!”Harvard laughed as he entered the office.At that moment, Richard’s palm was full of sweat. He nervously stared at the entrance of the office. ‘Those who went in before couldn’t stay more than a minute. I wonder if Harvard could…’ Just as Richard was imagining various kinds of possibilities, Harvard had already walked out.It only took ten seconds from the time he entered to the time he walked out.The time spent was short.It was the shortest time spent. Thus far, it was the shortest time spent among the participants. The crowd cast teasing glances at him. “Haha! What family did he come from? How embarrassing to be blown out the moment he just went in, right?”“He seems to come from the Hill family’s melt manufacturing. Tsk! Tsk! The Hill family is at least considered to be a secondary family, how awkward it is to be kicked out just like that.”“Could be due to
“How dare you!” Richard slammed the chair and yelled. Nobody had ever dared to speak to him in such a tone. Even Donald, who held a high post also smiled when they met. Yet, a lousy grandson-in-law like Thomas dared to question him. It was ridiculous!“Thomas Mayo, who do you think you are?“You don’t have the right to speak in the Hill family!”Thomas was not angry. He just spoke nonchalantly to Emma. “You can go in for the bidding.”Richard sneered, “Sure, you can go. You can show me how a woman does something that a man can’t. But, bear in mind that your bidding is your personal action, and it has nothing to do with us!”Emma was in an awkward situation. She felt terrible for being caught in the middle of the men.She sighed, stood up, and walked to the small office, which had been built temporarily.Harvard spoke as if he was gloating. “Grandpa, I bet that she’ll be chased out in ten seconds.”Richard coldly said, “She’s asking for it. You become influenced by the people
Richard snapped in, “I’ve mentioned to you before that the lousy company of yours contributes nothing in the bidding. So, it’s only natural to fail. Come, go back with me. Stop listening to that rascal’s nonsense. He would only put you to shame.”The two of them were about to leave.It was only then Emma said softly, “Grandpa, Harvard, I’ve signed the contract.”“Okay, I knew it.“Huh?!“What?!”Originally, Richard had not been able to react to her words. After taking two steps out, he turned his head around and stared at Emma. He confirmed with her once again, “Say it clearly, what contract is that?” Emma handed over the contract to him, and said, “I’ve signed the bidding contract for the construction project.”A loud bang rang in Richard’s head like a thunderstorm. Never in his wildest dream would he expect Emma had truly done it.“That’s impossible!”Harvard was also caught by surprise, and said, “Emma, don’t try to lie your way out of it!”“The contract is here. You cou
“If there’s nothing else, we’ll be leaving now.”Thomas held Emma’s hand as he walked past Richard and Harvard pridefully. It made Richard so angry that he trembled.He had lived his entire life proudly. When had he ever been humiliated?Two of them then got into the car.Emma carefully stored the contract before she drove the car and left.On the way, she asked, “Cillian said someone submitted a proposal to him in advance. Was it you?”Thomas nodded. “It was me.”“I knew it. Otherwise, it would’ve been impossible for things to go so smoothly. How did you do it?”“It’s actually all a coincidence. An old comrade of mine is working in the Urban Construction Bureau now. When we chatted earlier, the reconstruction came up, so I asked someone to make a proposal and submit it to him. Then, I asked him to pass it to Mr. Wall. Who would have known that Mr. Wall was very satisfied as soon as he read it? Hence, he made the decision. At that time, I submitted it under your name, and that’
“How dare he?! How dare he do this?!”“Thomas is just a son-in-law who relies on his wife. Who is he to act arrogantly in front of me? He is ridiculous! Darn it!”Harvard slowly walked inside and said, “Grandpa, don’t get angry. Actually, this matter can still be solved.”“Can it be solved? How can we solve this?”Harvard then said, “Grandpa, although you let Emma enter the bid with her subsidiary company, you just agreed to it verbally. You didn’t even put it down in black and white. If you don’t want to honor it, what else can she do?“Also, didn’t you also establish her subsidiary company? It is also a part of the Hill family! Even if Emma wants to take over the huge project alone, our family wouldn’t allow her!“In other words, is Emma even capable of handling the project on her own? Without our family’s help, will she have any money, manpower, and technique? She has nothing! How can she carry out the project?”When Richard listened to Harvard’s words, they made sense to him
At night, after dinner, Johnson called Thomas over to sit next to him on the couch.“Thomas, do you know why I asked you to come over?”Thomas shook his head.Johnson scoffed and felt disappointed. “I called you here to remind you to find something to do when you’re free. Don’t keep wandering around and doing nothing. You can also see that Emma is a beautiful woman who has signed a big contract. She is becoming capable.“But what about you? You do nothing all day long, and you’re just relying on a woman. Does that make sense?“You’re totally not good enough for our Emma now!”Emma walked over, and she looked unhappy.“Dad, how could you criticize Thomas like that?”“Why can’t I say that?” Johnson seemed serious. “I’m stating facts. You are now the person in charge of the big project, and you’ll be earning a few hundred million dollars. You’re getting wealthy. Would a lousy man be suitable for you?”“Dad!”“Anyway, Thomas is not good for you at this point.” Johnson then pointe
“How could they do this to me?“No way! I need to talk to them!”Thomas immediately pulled her. “You don’t have to.”“Why? Do we just abruptly give away the contract, which we’ve signed, to the family? Grandpa would rather give Jade the advantage to Jade than give me any benefits even though I was the one who secured the contract. He’s gone too far.”Thomas said, “Calm down first. You don’t have to feel anxious about this.”“Why?”“Because other than you, nobody from the Hill family can take this project.”Emma was stunned. “But, we’ve signed the contract. It’s too late for even the Urban Construction Bureau to regret it.”“Contract and real work are two different things.“Emma, don’t worry, you’ll carry out this project. Nobody can take it away from you.“Didn’t Grandpa grant you a two-day leave? That’s great. We can leave the city now. What about we take a flight and travel?”Emma was confused. “Um…” “Listen to me. Nothing will go wrong. Let’s go.”Thomas brought Emma w
