    They kept their distance, leaving a gap big enough for another person to sit between them.


    It was as if the distance between them seemed impossible to bridge.


    The quiet atmosphere lingered for a minute, and it was not until Anne spoke up that the strange tension was broken.


    “Ms. Lawson, congrattions on the coboration with Dorvell Corporation. It’s al


    significant step for the Lawson Group to expand overseas.”


    Sheena nced at Anne’s exquisitely beautiful face, her tone devoid of much emotion as- she replied, “Thank you.”


    Anne sighed with regret. “It''s a shame, though. The Lawson Group’s ns to expand


    overseas through Dorvell Corporation’s project might be in jeopardy.”


    Sheena narrowed her eyes cautiously, reading Anne’s expression.


    “Whe


    do


    do you mean?”


    Anne smiled, looking apologetic, and replied, “I talked about the bidding for Dorvell Corporation''s project with Paulost night. He


    felt sorry that we lost the bid as | had put in too much effort for this proposal, saying that you only won because of nepotism. So,


    he


    wanted to help me reim the cooperation rights.”


    “Take the cooperation rights from me?” Sheena scoffed. “Was Paulo drunk when he said that in bed? Besides, my proposal has


    been revised countless times and is the result of many sleepless nights. You wouldn’t have stood a chance unless | didn’t attend


    Dorvell Corporation''s bidding meeting this time.


    In her career, she had always been meticulous and believed in her own skills and abilities.


    Even without the issue of Elliot''s approach, the proposal she had personally written would have been top-notch.


    Anne observed the arrogance on Sheena’s face.


    “Ms. Lawson, you are really charming when you are confident. Unfortunately, the Jenkins


    and Lawson families are no longer the big fish in the pond once you go abroad. Ms. Lawson, you should know that there are


    always others out there.”


    Sheena stared at her, pondering her familiar tone.


    “Ms. Windsor, the first time | saw you, | couldn’t help but feel you resembled someone.”


    Anne smiled with a twinkle in her eyes.


    “Oh? Who?”


    “My sister.”


    Sheena casually spoke, but her eyes carefully scrutinized Anne’s every move.


    Anne looked pleasantly surprised and eximed, “Really? I’m honored that Ms. Lawson


    finds me familiar.”


    Sheena chuckled. “I don’t actually like this sister of mine. She’s just a bastard child of the Lawson family, an ugly duckling who


    clearly doesn’t belong but wants to take my ce.”


    Anne’s smile faded slightly, and tears welled up in her eyes.


    Hurt and aggrieved, she asked, “So, Ms. Lawson, are you using your sister to mock me, implying that I’m overreaching?”


    “No, just a jest, Ms. Windsor. Don’t take it to heart.”


    Sheena continued with a wry smile, “Ms. Windsor, you’re far superior to my troublesome sister in terms of family background,


    appearance, education, and personality. How could she evenpare herself to you?”


    Anne’s expression warmed slightly, and she asked curiously, “It sounds like there’s an unusual story between you and your


    sister. May | ask how she’s doing now?”


    “She’s dead. No ashes, no grave. My brother left her name and image at the Memorial Garden, where there are only the


    forgotten dead, forever without the remembrance and prayers of loved ones, even in the afterlife.”


    Anne listened in shock.


    “She''s so pitiful.” Please read the

    Seeing him, Anne tearfully threw herself into his arm.


    “Darling, what took you so long? | missed you so much.”


    pter


    “I''m sorry, sweetheart.”


    Paulo kissed her as if no one else were around.


    After a sweet moment, Paulo noticed Sheena’s presence.


    “Ms. Lawson, you''re here too.”


    As acourtesy, Sheena smiled and nodded.


    Anne yfully toyed with Paulo’s golden sideburns, and he indulged her.


    However, his gaze remained on Sheena.


    “Ms. Lawson, AN Group is interested in coborating with Dorvell Corporation. Would you be willing to relinquish this deal? I’m


    ready to help the Lawson Group with other


    introductions aspensation.”
