The bidding of Royal City Group continued.
Yet the CEO of the Loomis Group was nowhere to be seen.
Not only was Leslie puzzled, all the reporters present were all confused.
Christopher was absent from such an important occasion. What was his intention of this?
Everyone was speculating that the business environment was about to change.
Dozens of companies present were merely to bid for some small projects. They all knew that the biggest projects in the Imperial City were given to the Loomis by default. None of them would like to get this project.
No one dared to raise a sign although Christopher was absence.
Everyone was staring at this project. But no one dared to bid. They feared their bid would cause the Loomis’ discontent. Christopher was known as a cold-faced devil.
They preferred to give up the project. They did not dare to lose their lives because of this project.
When the bid read for three times, nobody answered. Everyone was waiting for the appearance of Christopher.
But no one appeared from the entrance with red-carpeted.
The host had said several jokes to lighten the mood.
But still no one raised the bright mark, causing the host on stage to an embarrassing situation.
The CEO of the Royal City Group was so angry.
Suddenly, a pretty female voice rang out, “Five hundred million!”
Leslie held up the Steffen’s sign.
The scene was out of control and all eyes were staring at her.
The journalists stood up and grabbed their SLR cameras in their hands to shoot frantically.
The sound of the shutter presses was heard one after another.
“Bid five hundred million for the first time! Bid five hundred million second times! Bid five hundred million third times!”
The host shouted happily when he saw someone raise the card. After he read it for three times, he rang the golden gong behind him immediately.
The CEO of the Royal City Group was even full of smiles as he walked towards Leslie.
“Congratulations for the Steffen Group! I’m looking forward to our collaboration!”
“We are looking forward to our cooperation with Imperial City equally!”
The photo of Leslie and the CEO of Royal City Group shaking hands immediately spread all over the online media.
Everyone was wondering this woman’s background.
Was this Steffen’s madness? They confronted the Loomis in such a hard and fast manner.
However, Leslie was not satisfied. She not only wanted to cooperate with Christopher’s partner, but also wanted to get back the Ward Company.
Back then, her father was so angry that he had a cerebral bruise attack because the Ward was bankrupt. She had been married with the man who killed her father. If she hadn’t been capricious and hadn’t been married with Christopher, the Ward wouldn’t have gone bankrupt.
So she wanted to redeem herself and took the Ward Company back. She wanted to make Christopher bankrupt.
When she died, she may go to see her father and her baby without guilty.
After Leslie returned to the company, she arranged for her assistant to prepare files about the Ward Company immediately. She wanted to get the Ward Company back in the fastest possible time.
“Leslie, you should rest for a few days. For that project in the Imperial City, you had stayed up every day. You would feel uncomfortable.”
Phoenix arrived at the CEO’s office just in time to hear Leslie arranged these matters.
Leslie revealed a relaxed smile, “Phoenix, you don’t have to worry about me. I swear that after the Loomis’ bankruptcy, I will take a good rest. I know my body well.”
Phoenix couldn’t help but said angrily, ” These years, you are tired enough. Don’t torture yourself like this anymore, okay?”
“I’m not torturing myself. I’m atoning for my sins.”
The determination in her eyes made Phoenix’s heart ache even more.
Christopher in the suburban still did not care about the company’s affairs.
For him, wine was the best thing.
The wine was able to numb him.
His heart won’t ache so much in that way.
“Leslie, do you remember? The first time I saw you. You were wearing a princess bubble dress. Looked so beautiful just like an angel, you were so lively.”
“When you pulled me up out of the water, I remembered you hit me, right?
He smiled in a hard way. Coughing a few times, blood slowly flowed down from the corner of his mouth. His body had been so depleted these past few days. Was he about to go see her?
No way. Leslie is an angel and she will go to heaven after death.
But he, a murderer, would be driven to the hell.
Would he ever see her again?
His heart surged with unprecedented panic.
“In my next life, I’ll be here with you.”
He was afraid that he would not meet her again. In that case he should not leave. Just stay here until he die.
He did not deserve to love her. She was a little fairy while he was a devil.
Without Leslie, he would have died twenty years ago.
He deserved to die, he really did.
She saved his life, but he used the life to hurt her again and again.
“Boss, you are here! Royal City Group cooperated with the Steffen! Now the company is in disarray, the Loomis family’s century-old foundation may be destroyed!”
The assistant screamed. How stupid he was! He came to the Mrs. Loomis’ grave to find boss until now.
However, when he saw Christopher’s face clearly, he was astonished and could not speak.
Christopher was just in his thirties, but he looked so old these days. The corner of his mouth was still bleeding, making his white collar turn red.
He looked at the countless bottles of wine on the ground. Could it be that boss had been drinking here in the past few days?
The assistant was so astonished. He doubted that if he came here a day later, Christopher would die in front of the grave.
