Chapter 94 Congratulations To Wright Construction Group For Winning The Bid In Advance

However, she hadn’t seen the name of the Zipper family on the participant list beforehand.

If the Zipper family really wanted to snatch this piece of land, then this bidding would be difficult!

Frida’s face darkened, while Sheralyn’s focus was on something entirely different from Frida’s.

“Gwendolyn, you’re stringing my brother along while also flirting with Mr. Harris. And now, it seems likeyour relationship with Mr. Zipper isn’t so innocent either!”

As Sheralyn thought of the last time Joaquin took Gwendolyn to the Mossey family’s welcome party,and now the bidding conference, Sheralyn was consumed by jealousy.

“Does Treyton know about your two-timing behavior”

Before Gwendolyn could say anything, Joaquin furrowed his brow and sneered.

“With that flat face and unattractive eyes of yours, you’re too ugly that it’s unbearable to look at. Yourvoice is unbearable, too. Naturally, you wouldn’t understand how charming and appealing Gwendolynis.”

“You!”

Joaquin was young and hot-tempered. He always had a sharp tongue when it came to people hedisliked.

Sheralyn’s face flushed with anger.

She had always been confident in her looks and had been praised and admired wherever she went.This was the first time someone had despised her like this.

And the fact that it was Joaquin, the infamous troublemaker and popular rising star from the Zipperfamily, made it even more infuriating.

Even though she was furious, she dared not vent her anger on the Zipper family. Hence, she ventedher frustration on Gwendolyn.

“What on earth did you do to win them over? Why are they all siding with you?”

Gwendolyn just smiled and didn’t answer.

The more nonchalant Gwendolyn seemed, the more Sheralyn thought she was deliberately putting on

a show.

“Just wait. I’ll make you pay!”

Gwendolyn pursed her lips. “I’ll be waiting.”

Sheralyn’s words didn’t faze her at all. All Sheralyn could do was glare back fiercely, attempting tooverpower Gwendolyn with sheer presence.

Joaquin strode ahead of Gwendolyn and cast a disdainful glance at Frida and Sheralyn standingacross

from them.

“Let’s go. Talking to this kind of person for even a few more words makes the air at the entrance feeldirty.”

Gwendolyn allowed him to lead her into the venue.

Sheralyn stomped her foot in anger. If gazes could kill, she would have slain Gwendolyn a thousand

times over.

Frida, on the other hand, was burdened with heavy thoughts. No one knew what was going through hermind.

Inside the conference hall, before the bidding officially began, representatives from various companiesspontaneously formed small groups, interacting and supporting each other.

Gwendolyn scanned the entire room, eventually spotting Yulia amidst a seemingly inconspicuous

crowd.

It was as if they had a silent connection.

Yulia caught the gaze and glanced at Gwendolyn as well. Their eyes seemed to be communicatingsomething without words.

Reaching an unspoken understanding, their gazes naturally shifted away, as if nothing had transpiredbetween them.

Joaquin, who had been dragged along as an extra, remained oblivious. He was reading the detaileddescription of the Western suburbs prepared by the organizers. He turned to Gwendolyn and asked,“Gwendolyn, do you really like this piece of land? If you do, I can buy it for you as a gift.”

Gwendolyn chuckled. “If you dare to buy it and Old Mr. Zipper replaces out, he’ll surely break your legs.”

“He won’t punish me because it’s a gift for you. He would actually be delighted.”

He smiled softly. His eyes twinkled as he looked at her “Besides, even if I do end up getting punished, itwould be worth it for my queen.”

Gwendolyn flicked his forehead. “Stop being checky

Ouch! Joaquin put on a dramatic act and covered his forehead with a pitiful look and wanted to seekcomfort.

While the two of them were engaged in their playful banter, the bidding conference commenced.

Representatives from various major companies began entering the main hall.

The seating arrangement had been prearranged, so Gwendolyn went straight to her assigned seat inthe front row with her name on it.

As the host began the opening remarks, the bidding conference officially commenced.

A server politely approached the seats to collect the bidding proposals and quotations from each

company.

When he came to Joaquin and Gwendolyn, Joaquin waved him off, indicating they had nothing to

submit.

The server was taken aback and awkwardly skipped past them to collect information from the next

company.

Frida, seated slightly to the right in the front row, observed the situation intently.

Seeing that Joaquin didn’t even have a proposal and appeared quite relaxed, she finally breathed asigh of relief.

Since the Zipper family had no intention of competing for this piece of land, it could only mean that theland would fall into the hands of Wright Construction Group.

With this thought in mind, Frida cast aside her nervousness and replaced it with a confident and proud.demeanor. Standing up in front of everyone, she gracefully placed Wright Construction Group’s biddingdocuments and proposal into the wooden box held by the server.

Other companies, seeing her determined demeanor, gradually began to make a commotion.

“It seems that Mr. Zipper is just here for the fun, but with big companies like Wright Construction Groupblocking the way, it’s likely that the Western suburbs land will be out of our reach.”

“Yeah, it’s a pity we came all this way for nothing. I guess we can only congratulate Wright ConstructionGroup in advance.”

Everyone sighed in defeat.

Frida heard it all, fueling her sense of accomplishment.

She humbly stood up and smiled at the companies’ persons in charge in the front and back, as if shewere the host.

“I apologize for the inconvenience, but I have to inform you that Wright Construction Group wasdetermined to secure this piece of land. I understand this may be disappointing for everyone, but restassured that your efforts won’t be in vain. All the companies that participated in the bidding today willhave the opportunity to compete for the subsequent development project of the Western suburbs landfor Wright Construction Group.”

Everyone’s eyes

lit up when they heard those words.

They originally didn’t have high hopes in bidding on the land successfully. However, they now had theopportunity to collaborate with Wright Construction Group. It was certainly a chance they would nevermiss.

Everyone was showering Frida with compliments and flattery.

“Mrs. Wright, you are truly impressive! With you at the helm, Wright Construction Group will -undoubtedly flourish!”

“That’s right, Mrs. Wright is generous. I must say that my company, Oceanic Constructions, has thebest reputation in this area. Please do give us some careful consideration, Mrs. Wright!”

Under the waves of flattery, Frida felt elated. So this was the position of power that all the companieshad been fighting for? This is so awesome!

She suppressed the ecstasy in her heart and calmly waved her hand, signaling for everyone to quietdown and listen to her.

“Everyone, rest assured that all you need to do is submit your proposals, and Wright Construction.Group will select three outstanding companies to collaborate with. It will be a win-win situation foreveryone.”

“That’s fantastic! Mrs. Wright is so magnanimous! Mrs. Wright is so generous!”

With this move, Frida earned a wealth of positive reputation for Wright Construction Group.

Sheralyn, too, was basked in the glory of the praise.

She turned her head and subconsciously glanced in Gwendolyn’s direction.

To her surprise, Gwendolyn was casually playing with her phone, seemingly unconcerned about the

situation.

She walked over to Gwendolyn’s seat with a cold snort, tilting her chin, and said, “Gwendolyn, once thehost comes out, they will announce that the Western suburbs land belongs to Wright ConstructionGroup. Everyone feels happy for Wright Construction Group. Why don’t you say a few complimentarywords as well?”

Gwendolyn put down her phone, a slight smile playing at the corner of her lips. “Don’t be so hasty andlet’s not speak too soon. If it’s not awarded to Wright Construction Group, won’t you all be left feelingutterly embarrassed?”

How could it not be awarded to Wright Construction Group? Which other company present could evencompete with them?

To Sheralyn, Gwendolyn’s words were nothing but over-confident.

Sheralyn looked at her sarcastically, and a hint of malice flashed in her eyes. “Do you dare to make abet with me?”
