Chapter 169
Shea became intrigues! “What’s the bet?”
“It the Freeman Group wins the bid, you have to strip naked publicly, admit to being a cheap
gestuctress and then leave Parlem forever, never to appear again!”
It was apparent that Krin wanted to humiliate Sheena by having so many demands despite it being only
for one bet
skye telt annoyed and was about to retaliate on Sheena’s behalf, but Sheena held him back With a
faint smile, Sheena replied, “I’m not asking for much. If any otherpany wins, you just need to kneel
and kowtow to me three times,”
Erin was initially taken aback, but she felt confident she would not lose. Hence, she did not mind the
bet. “Sure! I’ll be waiting to see you strip down, losing all your dignity!”
After her bold statement, Erin confidently returned to her seat.
As she sat, the host walked out to announce the results. After some official statements, he produced
the final list of winners and began reading, “First to be announced is the Mount Raine District’s plot of
The earlier announcements were about less significant pieces ofnd. As the host announced each
winningpany, apuse followed from the audience.
Erin’s heart raced as the announcement for the western suburbs drew closer, feeling a mixture of
excitement and a hint of nervousness. She instinctively looked at Sheena for her reaction, only to find
Sheena still lookingposed.
Erin scoffed. She wanted to see how Sheena would react when the actual announcement was made.
“Lastly, wee to the most coveted piece ofnd in this event, the prime location in the western
suburbs. Who will be the winner?”
On stage, the host’s expression turned mysterious, finally getting to the climax of the event.
The atmosphere in the room grew lively.
Faye, who had been a bit anxious, immediately felt reassured when she thought she saw the host
ncing in her direction.
“Let’s congratte the winner of this prestigious spot…”
As the host announced the winner, Faye stood up directly, even turning around and smiling as she
waved toward the back row, disying an expression of triumph.
“The winner of the western suburbsnd plot is Serene Real Estate Limited. Congrattions!” Faye
was about to step onto the stage to present her speech when she heard the unfamiliar name, causing
her to freeze.
Serene Real Estate Limited?!
It was not the Freeman Group that won the bid…
How could this be happening? When did this unmemorable smallpany emerge? the bat not even
heard of them!
At that moment, her gesture of standing up and waving looked like that of a clown. The words Serene
Real Estate Limited” felt like a series of heavy ps, leaving her utterly embarrassed Whispers spread
among the audience as they looked at Faye with sharp gazes.
Erin stood up in disbelief and questioned, “This can’t be true! Who the hell is Serene Real Estate
Limited? Whether it’s experience, pricing, or reputation, how can theypare to the Freeman Group?
Did you coborate in secret and manipte the situation against us?”
The host’s expression turned sour, warning Erin, “Ms. Freeman, please mind yournguage. We
decided based onparing the bid proposals and project ns submitted by eachpany. It was
“I don’t believe it! Unless you provide evidence, I won’t ept it!” Erin persisted.
The host was in a difficult situation. After all, bid proposals and project ns were highly confidential
and could not be made public. For anypany, this was a strict rule.
Hence, what evidence was she talking about?
Then again, if they did not provide something, it would make them appear guilty..
Seeing him silent, Erin sneered triumphantly, “As long as you can’t produce evidence, this bid for the
western suburbnd is invalid!”
The host was visibly in a dilemma, mumbling, “Well…”
Seeing the host’s hesitation, Sheena exchanged a nce with Sarah, who was seated in the back
corner.
Sarah understood and stood up, walking toward the stage.
