Chapter 80 Betting for the Same Project
Gwyneth raised her eyebrows and scanned Elizabeth. Elizabeth dressed up meticulously and attended to every detail from the tip of her
hair to her toes.
While Gwyneth, on the other hand, just wore a decent gown; dressing up was something she never paid attention to. If Wanda had not insisted she wore this gown, she would have probably worn her daily casual wear here. Thinking back to what Elizabeth said earlier, this woman was not afraid to speak her mind.
“Thank you for the compliment, Miss Lisle,” Gwyneth replied and withdrew her hand. Just as she wanted to leave, Elizabeth continued.
“Ms. Glen, who are you representing today? Glen Corporation? If so, how is AMC’s situation?”
As expected, another immature question. Gwyneth turned her head, ignored Elizabeth, and left her in an awkward position.
It was a complicated and awkward situation for Elizabeth. She could not continue the conversation or stop talking. At last, she glanced at
Liam’s cold expression and decided to keep quiet.
“Wanda, how many auction items were pre–marked today?” Gwyneth kept herself busy by discussing with Wanda about today’s auction after ignoring Elizabeth.
“Ms. Glen. During the company’s meetings, we decided to bid without limit if the project was worthy,” Wanda replied helplessly, going through the bidding list. Her expression was seemingly blaming why Gwyneth had such bad memories.
*Tsk Tsk Tsk. What an audacious move. Should I just bid them all since there’s no limit?” Gwyneth shrugged her shoulders. Her tone was nothing like the chairman of Glen Corporation but rather more like a competitor.
Who would possibly complain about expanding their business? That was precisely how Gwyneth was behaving.
As Gwyneth was talking, she was also observing the people around her. The people who attended the auction had their intentions written
all over their faces, yet they still acted superior. It was rather funny to Gwyneth when she came to think about it.
Besides that, Gwyneth spoke openly for the old hags in Glen Corporation to hear. Thinking back to the early stage of the auction, the people in the marketing department and the shareholder were all trying to persuade her to bid for more land during the meeting. They just
wanted to wipe her out and take advantage of her situation.
Liam, sitting beside them, heard their entire conversation and found it amusing. The amusement was not about the content of the auction but about Gwyneth. Up until now, they lived in the same house. But aside from work and mealtimes, they hardly ever talked. Not to mention hearing Gwyneth discuss matters in her CEO tone.
“There are a few newly launched projects this year. But the locations aren’t desirable, so you should stay cautious.”
Liam’s sudden advice had Gwyneth and Wanda momentarily stunned. They had eye contact and did not know what to reply to him. Although these conglomerates appeared jovial deep down, they were seething with resentment. The chairman of Luther Corporation’s sudden interjection made them afraid.
Hearing Liam’s comment on the projects, Elizabeth, sitting on the side, could not contain herself. She took a proposal from her bag, which she had asked Porter to sneak in. “Mr. Luther, the bidding for this land is quite promising. It has the officials‘ support and is a popular
tourist attraction.”
Elizabeth’s words caught Gwyneth’s attention, causing her eyebrows to raise. Elizabeth was clearly referring to Glacier Lake. ‘Could Liam be interested in this project too?‘ With that thought in mind, Gwyneth slightly narrowed her eyes and looked at Liam in confusion.
Gwyneth believed that Liam did not have to do it to such lengths. He was the one who introduced the project to Mr. Curington. It would not make sense for him to compete with her for this project. She looked at Liam again and spoke without waiting for Wanda to finish..
“There’s no need for you to interfere or get involved. As for the project proposal, how did you bring it in?”
Liam would never show any favoritism to anyone toward the issues regarding business. Liam’s sudden cold indifference startled Elizabeth. She had to try every possible way to persuade Porter to hand her the proposal. The reason was to interact with Liam in such settings and prove her abilities.
However, she did not expect her efforts to backfire, receiving criticism instead of praise, Elizabeth pursed her lips, and her eyes welled up with tears, but Liam acted like he had seen nothing.
Her crying act made no difference to the situation. So Elizabeth put the proposal back and stayed quiet.
Gwyneth gave a light laugh in her heart as she watched the two interact. Sure enough, Elizabeth looked more like herself when acting pitiful.
