    Chapter 1035


    Paulo came forward, immediately bringing up the Dorvell Corporation project coboration, his gaze sharp and unfriendly.


    Sheena let out a soft chuckle, about to retort when a familiar deep voice sounded behind


    her.


    “Trying to meddle with my wife’s project, Paulo? Aren''t you thinking a little too highly of yourself now?”


    Elliot''s voice was low and stern as he approached, carrying a handful of shopping bags.


    As Elliot''s arm wrapped around her waist, Sheena smiled knowingly, leaving the stage to


    him for this conversation between men.


    “Mr. Jenkins, the Lawson Group securing the project with Dorvell Corporation is solely due to your friendship with Neil. This


    backdoor approach isn’t fair topanies like ours, who put in the effort to write thorough proposals.”


    Elliot''s gaze was icy, his displeasure evident.


    “If you


    have issues with the oue of the bidding, take it up with Neil. Don’te to


    Nana about it.”


    Did Paulo really think Sheena and him were easy targets?


    Paulo chuckled. Mr. Jenkins, I’m here to discuss with Ms. Lawson. No need for such


    hostility.”


    Elliot''s expression remained cold and firm. “Her business insight is outstanding. If it weren''t for the fact that she is five years


    younger than me and entered the business world. many yearster, she might be the one dominating the business circles in


    Froania, not me. | won''t allow anyone to underestimate her abilities. If you doubt the oue of the bidding, take it up with Neil


    and ept defeat gracefully.”


    With those harsh words, Elliot led Sheena away, casting a final nce at Anne.


    As they left, Paulo pulled Anne into his embrace once more, trying to be affectionate.


    “Darling, Elliot''s connected with many bigshots globally due to his National Investigation Bureau background. He’s not someone


    to mess with. Maybe we should let go bidding matter?”


    of this


    Anne frowned in frustration, pushing him away and rejecting his affection.


    “Ms. Lawson mocked me,paring me to the illegitimate daughter of the Lawson family who died. She ridiculed me for


    overestimating myself, calling me an ugly duckling.”Còntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org


    Paulo was taken aback. “You''re now the girlfriend of an earl, and she said that to you?”


    Anne sniffled softly, nodding gently.


    Soon, tears stained her innocent and incredibly beautiful face.


    Seeing her like this broke Paulo’s heart.


    With his rough hands, calloused and wrinkled, he gently wiped away her tears.


    “My darling, don’t cry. Seeing you sad hurts me more than anything.”


    Anne nestled into his embrace, softly sobbing.

    Satisfied, Anne nodded, nuzzling against his broad chest like a tender and irresistibly cute


    kitten.


    Then, remembering a crucial detail, she added, “She knows martial arts

    Paulo kissed her forehead gently. “Got it, | understand.”

    As they embraced, their silhouette looked less like that of lovers and more like that of a fatherforting his daughter from afar.


    Back in the hotel’s presidential suite, Sheena, exhausted from a day of shopping and


    leisure, flopped onto the bed, indulging in a much-needed rest.
